I'd be in heaven if the Ducks could also pull Lee and or Farmer. It's a long shot, but crazier things have happened.

This year may be different for recruiting as having the #1 ranking really helps pull people in. It's something that Oregon has never had before to use in recruiting.

I'm hoping that gives the Ducks an extra lift. Plus, I really dislike USC, and I'd prefer they had a weak class this season. I'm hoping they don't land either Lee or Farmer.

Ugh, our receiving corps would be absolutely insane if we landed those with Blackmon.

Josh Huff was also a QB in high school. Blackmon is definitely being recruited for WR. If we land him along with Sumler, our speed on the outside will be ridiculous.

I'd like to land one DJ Davis type this year to keep our blocking WR's coming. That said i love blackmon and sumler, and those guys in our offense would be killer.

I don't think it's stalking if it's twitter, trying to find a recruits facebook or myspace definitely is.

Blackmon would be a great get, he looks like the type of player Oregon wants, a kid that wants to play in Eugene.

Farmer is the physical beast, taller, faster, and heavier than Blackmon, he would be ideal for our spread because he can be a big play threat and a great physical presence as a blocker in the run game!

I'm curious how many of the slot variety of WRs we can play at the same time?

No doubt, Blackmon, Huff and Sumler will all get their yards and TDs...

But currently, we have Davis, Tuinei and Maehl starting, with Huff in relief.

Blackmon is about Maehl's size, and Sumler about Huff's size... but we will still need a couple bigger dudes like Tuinei and Davis.

Farmer would be sweet. I'm sure these guys would all get the chance to see the field as freshmen.

Sumler is Huff's size? Huff is a pretty big dude.

Tacoi sumler is likely 2-3" inches shorter than Huff.

About a year ago, Oregon was recruiting Blackmon as a QB. After they received verbals from Randall, Manziel, and Mariota, Oregon started recruiting Blackmon as a WR. Apparently, Blackmon wants to run track in college, so that's a big positive for Oregon. Blackmon must have had a great visit because he was very close to being a UCLA lock and some speculated that he was a silent commit.

Sumler is 5-9 and 165lbs. Huff is 5-11 and 201lbs. Big difference, 3 inches and 36lbs. It's why Huff is playing as a true freshman.

(note: mods, I was not sure what is allowed but here is a piece of info that you could find by following the wearesc.com post below ; Ruffalo).. you need to follow the thread, but within it is some good info, including the rest of this article...

Devon Blackmon's visit:

"It was awesome," Blackmon said. "I had a great trip, it was one of the best experiences of my life. Everything stood out there; it's impossible to pick one or two things that I loved because basically, the whole visit was a highlight for me.

...

"It was one big family there," Blackmon said. "It was cool to hang out with George Farmer and the other guys from Serra, Jason Gibson and Marqise Lee. We all talked about going to school together and Oregon is very high on all of our lists right now.
