I love what Darron....

Post by uostudent »

has done this season. The offense looks so much better with a QB who can pass. It's really exciting watching such a balanced attack.

More importantly, it helps us in the future. By having a more balanced offense, Oregon will have an easier time attracting recruits from a variety of positions. More specifically, I'm thinking about the wide receiver position. In order for the program to progress, we are going to need to obtain verbals from some wide receivers.

Tacoi Sumler is supposedly very excited about coming to Oregon, but it sounds like his parents want him to take more visits. I wouldn't be surprised if they were trying to push him towards Stanford.

I think Hakeem Flowers is one of the most important recruits that Oregon is targeting. The guy has terrific size and hands and will likely be able to come in and play right away.

B.J. Kelley sounds like he is very high on Oregon and I wouldn't be surprised if he committed on/after his visit. Kelley is an absolute burner who has kind of gone under the radar.

Devin Lucien runs reasonably well, is physically ready to play college football, and has terrific hands. Lucien looks like the type of guy who could contribute his freshman year. Could be an excellent possession receiver. We need to offer Lucien. I'm not sure if the coaching staff is waiting on Flowers, but I'd love to have both.
“If everybody in this room just want to be real with themselves, this game could have went either way,” he said. “We turned the ball over a lot. We beat ourself. Just be real with yourself right now. We beat ourself.”

After last night, I think any top WR would be licking his chops to play in Oregon's offense. It featured more downfield passes than what we've seen from past seasons, which is what we've been clamoring for.

I think you forgot about, IMO, the best two WRs we're after: George Farmer and Devon Blackmon, both of whom will be in town for the UW game. I think we have a legit shot at both, especially Blackmon. We need to beat SC next week and then roll UW at home and we will have the best recruiting class we've ever had.
