If the Ducks could land any recruit this season, who would you want?
1. De'Anthony Thomas
Ht: 5'9"
Wt: 160 lbs
40: 4.41
Rivals 5*
5th ranked player in the Nation, listed at ATH, second ranked player at that position.
ESPN 4*
63rd ranked player in the nation, also listed at ATH.
As I recruitnik, I follow a lot of recruits. See a lot of names, here a ton of results, get a little bit of inside information here and there(Not for the Ducks, remember, I'm an implant. I fell in love with the university(will be attending next fall. No I"m not a freshman. Transfer student) before becoming a fan of the team.) Been following this kid for a while now, and other than Mike Bellamy out of Florida, this kid is the most explosive player in the nation. Extremely fast(track star), can stop and go on a dime, has soft hands enabling him to play both RB & WR, is extremely effective in the return game, etc. In my opinion he's the most gifted player to come out of Cali since Reggie Bush. Yes, he's better than Dillion Baxter, he's that good. He'll be playing in the Army All American game and as of now is a lock for USC. Maybe with USC sucking and being under probation may change his mind in the long run, but Kiffin is a snake oils salesmen, and I see Thomas sticking with his commitment seeing as how he's from Crenshaw. For now, he's slated to play CB for the Trojans, which in my opinion is a snake given his tremendous offensive abilities. Would be an amazing player in Chip's offense. c

Your Dream Recruit?
Remember, remember, the Fifth of November, the Gunpowder Treason and Plot. I know of no reason why the Gunpowder Treason should ever be forgot... But what of the man? I know his name was Guy Fawkes and I know, in 1605, he attempted to blow up the Houses of Parliament. But who was he really? What was he like? We are told to remember the idea, not the man, because a man can fail. He can be caught, he can be killed and forgotten, but 400 years later, an idea can still change the world. I've witnessed first hand the power of ideas. I've seen people kill in the name of them, and die defending them. But you cannot kiss an idea; cannot touch it, or hold it. Ideas do not bleed, they do not feel pain, they do not love... And it is not an idea that I miss //////// Follow me one Tumblr/blog http://f***-kp.tumblr.com/

2. George Farmer
Ht: 6'2"
Wt: 192 lbs
40: 4.4 secs
Shuttle: 4.44
Vertical: 33 inches
Rivals 5*
6th ranked player in the nation, #1 WR.
ESPN 4*
13th Overall, #2 WR
I don't know much about Farmer other than he's a product of Serra High School, the same school that produced USC's Robert Woods last recruiting season. He wont state titles in both football, and basketball, and is supposedly a silent commit to the Trojans. He also has a visit to Florida lined up, but I believe it's just a free trip. I'm not quite sure how much interest he has in the Ducks, but competing in a BCS bowl while USC is sucking can only help the Ducks chances.

Re: Your Dream Recruit?
I don't know enough about how this year's class is shaping up yet, but I think most Duck fans would really like a monster DT or two...as long as they can get into school.

Re: Your Dream Recruit?
Yep, James Wilder is tremendously overrated at RB. He was pretty much considered a Florida lock, but he took an FSU visit in August I believe and they promised him a chance at RB, something Meyer wouldn't do, and he jumped on his dream position. Pretty dumb decision in my opinion. Play LB and go to the NFL.Duck07 wrote:James Wilder Jr at LB, def not RB although #1 DE JaDaveon Clowney looked good on tv a few weeks back and would love to see him opposite Dion Jordan

Re: Your Dream Recruit?
Viliami "Tiny" Moala! He has NO competition in the HS ranks and would FLOURISH in the DUCKS defensive scheme. Right now.... Ricky Heimuli/Wade Keli'ikipi are "growing" into the mold of Haloti Ngata......Moala would be "TURN KEY!"
Moala is a compact run stuffing defensive tackle / nose guard, but his quickness off the ball allows him to be involved in making plays behind the line of scrimmage. He has the ability to be by a center before he's even gotten set after snapping the ball. Moala is a space eater inside, but his quickness makes him more than just a double team occupier; he can dictate the action in front of him - Scott Kennedy, Scout.com.
Biography:
Viliami Moala helped Sacramento (Calif.) Grant shutout six teams in 2009 and was named First Team All-State and GoldenStatePreps.com Junior Defensive Player of the Year.
Partial senior (5-0) stats: 40 tackles, 21 tackles for loss, three forced fumbles and seven sacks
He reports a 3.2 GPA and a 1260 on the three-part SAT with no plans to retake the test.

I was going to put him as my dream recruit but Jhop said he's basically a lock for either Cal or U$C. Maybe if the Ducks can beat both SC and Cal he will have a change of heart.
I said it at the beginning of the season and I still think Cal will be the Ducks toughest game.

Re: Your Dream Recruit?
Their first game of the season on ESPN? I saw that one too and while he wasn't impressive in that game (another reason why he shuoldn't be a rb), he would be a monster at OLB.JTinKC wrote:Watched Wilder play on ESPN and I wasn't impressed with him on either side of the ball.
