Serra Trio Recruiting News

[NCDucks09]

Fiesta Bowl is still not the Grand Daddy of 'Em All.... Just saying it's different. I can buy a bag of Tostitos anytime... jk.

The Rose Bowl has tradition and inherently special to the Pac-10.

For what it's worth, Farmer had on a Oregon sweatshirt yesterday at school. Don't get too excited about it though.

You guys do know what we're witnessing here right? A big, 'if', but if Oregon does the unthinkable and wins the National Title this year, which will most likely solidify these top tier recruits...

We'll be witnessing the birth of a new Pac-10 Dynasty.

With the youth on the Oregon team already, DT, LMJ, Barner, Huff, Harris, Williams, Seastrunk, Mathis, Boyd, Bennett, Davis, and the linebackers corp.

Adding Blackmon, Farmer, Lee, Randall, Sumler, and the O-line guys, really, we can say that Oregon might have the best depth in the Pac-10.

My top two favorite recruits are now:

Blackmon and Farmer, bar none... Blackmon is electrifying. Farmer is just unreal, probably the most gifted athlete I've seen since J.Stew, huge size and speed, speed, speed...!

I think Oregon even just getting to the NT game would be huge for recruiting since it would show that it is possible for a recruit at a school like Oregon to get there. Plus Oregon has shown the ability to get players into the NFL, although not at the same rate at like Florida or USC.

Honestly, if Oregon does get there, they better win it, because an opportunity like that comes along for a school like Oregon maybe once a lifetime. Remember, the Ducks haven't even won a Rose Bowl yet.

Sure they have. It was 1917 but they do have a victory.

Just checked the 3 you tube vids....

I hope we save the schollies.... these 3 guys are "tiny" compared to that guy on the R side of their

Lee interview from Rivals. Names Oregon as his #1 or #2.

Fresh off of leading (Gardena) Serra High School to an exciting 35-21 win over league rival Chaminade last Friday, standout athlete Marqise Lee boarded a plane to Eugene to watch the Ducks dismantle the Washington Huskies. Look inside for the details.

Fresh off of leading (Gardena) Serra High School to an exciting 35-21 win over league rival Chaminade last Friday, standout athlete Marqise Lee boarded a plane to Eugene to watch the Ducks dismantle the Washington Huskies.
Much like Serra, which has now won twenty-four straight games, the Oregon Ducks have been lighting up scoreboards and coming away with big victories in 2010.

Lee made the official visit to Oregon with highly touted teammates George Farmer and Jason Gibson, and all three came away very impressed with the program.

“They have great coaches, I love Coach Neal, great facilities and they have a place to practice even when it rains,” Lee said. “Everything was great, the school was great and the kids were great.”

With the successful trip the Ducks are moving up Lee’s list of top schools.

“They actually moved up from my five,” he said. “They were about like four, but now they are at least two or one. In my top five I have Cal, USC and Oregon - then Miami and Florida.”

Autzen Stadium is known as one of the most hostile places to play in all of college football, and Lee enjoyed the passion of the Oregon fans.

“It was amazing. It was a record of 60,000 people at the game,” he said. “Even though I didn’t know people, everybody knew my name. It was just pretty fun.”

On the visit, Lee was hosted by linebacker Josh Kaddu, and said he got a good feel for the chemistry of the team and had a good time hanging with the players.

“Going out with the players was great,” he said. “Even though I didn’t know all of them, I felt like I knew them.”

The four-star WR/DB has emerged as one of the top playmakers in California this season and is being recruited as an athlete, and could potentially be a two-sport star in college.

“They gave me the choice to come in and play receiver or safety,” said Lee, who currently has over 900 receiving yards and 14 touchdowns. “Also, I can play basketball if I want.”

Lee will take an official visit to Gainesville this weekend, with teammate George Farmer, to watch the Florida Gators take on South Carolina.

He also plans to visit Miami in December, and will take his last official visit to USC or UCLA.

Gibson has cancelled his visit to Florida. Great news for the Ducks. I'll try and get information about whether or not Lee and Farmer still intend to come.

That's great news for duck fans.

Great news, just hope he's not rescheduling.

[Supreme]

Lee and Farmer are still scheduled to visit Florida.

I think he's just trolling, but supposedly, rumor has it that Lee's top 3 is Oregon, Cal, and UCLA.

I think Gibson will be a Duck btw.

You think Lee is trolling? What do you mean? You think USC is really his top team?

Well, to be honest, I'm not sure. I just think it's almost a certainty that USC is at the very least in his top 3.

When it's all said and done, I think Lee lands wherever Farmer lands. And right now, I think Farmer lands at SC. There's still a few months left before signing day though.

This is great news. Just read this on USC's 247 sports site.

Here's a quote from Scott Schrader (who runs the site):
"It's my impression from talking to Jason (quite frequently) that he's never felt he was a high priority for SC. We'll see if that changes down the stretch."

In Schrader's interview with Gibson, Gibson stated that Oregon was in his top 2. I'd assume that he meant with SC, though he did have a good visit at Cal.

I still believe that Farmer is essentially a USC lock. Lee and Farmer are supposedly best friends, so Lee might follow Farmer to USC.

Gibson would definitely be a tremendous pickup for Oregon.

Per JHop Gibson will no longer be visiting Florida.

on moseley's blog, mops said the 3 are visiting miami this weekend.

Analysis: Farmer and Blackmon are two of California’s best players and some of the best receiving prospects in the 2011 class. Farmer was thought to favor USC before his visit but left with high praise for the Oregon program and its coaching staff, saying the Ducks will be in the mix until the end. Farmer is taking an official visit this weekend to Miami along with teammates Marqise Lee and Jason Gibson. Lee, a receiver/defensive back prospect, and Gibson, a linebacker/defensive end, were also in Eugene last weekend. Oregon told Lee that, should he wish to try out for basketball, the opportunity is there.

Na, Mosely's wrong on this one.

Lee and Farmer are visting Florida this weekend. The trio are scheduled to visit Mimai in December. I doubt Gibson goes though.
