WR recruit Devin Lucien update

[uostudent]

Lucien is a WR from Socal who I posted about a few months ago. One of my friends had talked to him after a game and Lucien was very interested in Oregon. Apparently, he is still talking to coaches, but hasn't received an offer yet. Really surprised that we haven't offered him, though the coaching staff might still be waiting on Blackmon, Farmer, Flowers and Kelley. I could potentially see us taking 5 wide receivers in this class.

Yesterday, rivals moved Lucien up to a 4 star prospect. Lucien runs well, has good hands, and is a pretty strong and physical guy. He would likely be a solid blocker too. Think D.J. Davis.

Lucien currently has offers from Air Force, ASU, Colorado, Illinois, Iowa State, Kentucky, OSU, UCLA, and some smaller programs.

edit- forgot to mention that he was a high school teammate of Bryan Bennett and Hroniss Grasu.

Hmm...surprised he doesn't have an offer yet.

He may jump real quick on a Duck offer then you limit your schollies for the Serra Trio or other targets. Also if you realy want Farmer I dont think you throw out offers to WR's that may commit quickly, adding a bunch of guys coming in at one position. I think they are pushing for Farmer telling him hes the man they want and they only want him.

Jhop says UO is waiting on a couple other WR that the coaches like a little better right now, and that's why we haven't offered. It sounds like Kelley will be a commit when he visits and all signs point to Blackmon committing during his All American game on TV. Right now he thinks we only take 4 WR not named Farmer.

Getting Kelley and Blackmon would be huge. I don't think we end up with Farmer since he seems like a heavy USC lean so we get Lucien instead, which isn't too bad of a consolation because Lucien looks like a solid player.

(nice highlights... I'm surprised he doesn't have an offer, especially considering the link to players already on our team)

Kelley is as close to a lock as any recruit out there. I also think there's a very good chance that Oregon ends up with JC receiver Rahsaan Vaughn. Hakeem Flowers still hasn't decided where he's going to go, though if I had to guess, I'd say Michigan.

So....
1. Sumler -do his parents still want him to look at Stanford more closely?
2. Kelley
3. Vaughn

Oregon has a great shot at Blackmon but i wouldn't call him a lock. I'd be shocked if Farmer didn't end up at USC. If Flowers goes elsewhere, then I think the coaching staff should definitely offer Lucien.

I am curious why we are looking at a guy like Vaughn ahead of someone like Lucien. Vaughn has nice measurables but that's about it. His statistics aren't impressive at all and we don't have a big track record with JC receivers.

Man thats one hell of a group if it works out!

I can't speak for the coaches, but I do know they went and watched Vaughn practice in person. They obviously liked what they saw. Vaughn is supposedly one of the fastest JC players in the country, which makes it likely that he is faster than Lucien, although that is just speculation. As a JC player, Vaughn would likely be more ready to contribute right away over a true freshman if the Ducks need immediate help. If the coaches don't feel like they need immediate help, and/or Vaughn doesn't pick up the offense as quickly as hoped, he still provides the flexibility of being able to redshirt as a 3 to play 2 player, so hopefully the Ducks would get two productive years out of him either way.

I certainly wouldn't mind having another JC player like Terence Scott in the Oregon offense, if the coaches feel Vaughn has that same sort of potential. Scott was great his senior season and would have had an even bigger impact on the program had he not been forced to burn his redshirt year for a handful of snaps due to injuries.

If he's anything like Scott, then they need to get him. Scott really came on during his SR season and it sucked not having him for another full season. If Oregon misses on Farmer and Lee, then I think Lucien will be offered fairly quickly.

JC receivers that worked:

T.Scott (WR)
L.Tuinei (WR)
B.Williams (TE)

JC Receivers that didn't work:

T.Gaines...who else?

[jimmy12]

I think some people put Jamere Holland in that group, but he was a transfer but a joke. Fast with a bad attitude.

[Boom]

We already have a lot of young WR's on the roster.

I expect that the coaches would like to get at least 1 JC receiver to balance out the classes.
