With Ekrpe Olomu How Many Spots left

[Boom]

I'd be absolutely shocked if the coaches turned down Walls and especially Lee, while having no problem taking a guy who hasn't played for 2 years because of injuries (Garrick) and a project (Wilson).

Different positions.....

And the coaches wouldn't offer them unless they think they will help our team.

Well this info is solid, so believe it or not I really don't care, but I can tell you Neal wanted Olomu a lot more than Lee.

Oh and the UO coaches have never, and never will, take a kid just to get another recruit. If you want your coaches to do that then become a Cal fan, they do it all the time.

i don't doubt it. i was just speculating on why they took Olomu over Lee, and that was one of the things i came up with (if you read my post you will see it)

Lee said in his Oregon post trip interview that he was told he could come in and play wherever he wanted. It's certainly possible that he's been informed the cupboard is full at DB, but they aren't/haven't cut ties with him if he still wants to come.

If they like him enough to tell him he's got his pick of where he wants to play, then he's still a viable option for us.

Thanks for passing it a long.

That's sort of what I'm going on since he seemed very open to possibly playing WR, which Oregon may well indeed be still recruiting him for. We just don't know since I doubt the coaches will let everything they are doing in recruiting come out until after they are done with the class.

It probably would depend if we still have room at wide receiver. For all we know the coaches could have already filled those spots up as well.

My source told me they have already called and informed both Lee and Walls that they no longer have any spots in this years class. Remember last year we took 6 DB's, a team can only take so many DB's and both Walls and Lee knew this.

Yeah... No offense, but that sounds like some straight up foogazy-ish garbage. Coaches don't call elite prospects(Lee), who are premier athletes in their class, and tell them to look elsewhere. Especially when they're a package deal with one, and possibly two other elite prospects.

Throwing up the duces to Lee, is essentially throwing up the duces to Farmer. And I don't see that happening this early in the recruiting process.

And you would know this how?

Why would we take more safeties than we need?

[Boom]

QB: Jerrard Randall, Marcus Mariota
WR: Tacoi Sumler
DE: Sam Kamp
OL: Andre Y, Tyler Johnstone, Jamal Prater, James Euscher
OLB:Rahim Cassell, Carlyle Garrick, Kyrie Wilson
CB: Ifo Ekpre-Olomu
S: Tyson Coleman

My guess

4-5 Defensive tackles - We lose 2 seniors and Ricky Heimuli might leave for a 2 year mission..... That would leave us with Wade Keliikipi, Taylor Hart, & Isaac Remington(who's not in the current rotation). I think we get at least 1-2 JC guys here.

2 Defensive ends

2-3 Wide receivers - I think the coaches would like to get at least 1 JC guy here also (Rahsaan Vaughn)

2 linebackers - still need a mlb

1 TE - to redshirt

[Phenom]

But we're not taking more safeties than we need. We have two graduating this year and none coming in (that is assuming Coleman moves to OLB and Olumu stays at CB). I have serious doubts that we would just let Lee and especially Walls go. Walls seems to really be considering coming over here. It's not like they're recruiting for other schools like Gabe King...well, maybe Lee is trying to get Gibson with him and Farmer to USC...

Not sure any of us know this.

But the way we are going to get better and stay ahead of the other teams is to recruit stud athletes like we've never done before. I can see maybe telling Walls commit soon or lose your chance since it looks like his measurables are about the same as Ekrpe. However I don't see them telling one of the premier athletes in the country (Lee) that he doesn't have a spot now.

Since these kids are enjoying the recruiting process like they'll never do again in their life, I'm sure coach Kelly also doesn't want to get a reputation of ruining that process for kids that are considering Oregon, but aren't through the whole process yet.

But both of those guys could end up being safeties.

We have 2 special team players graduating..... Boyett & Pleasent return

We're currently redshirting Marcus Davis, Erick Dargan, James Scales, & Derrick Malone....... that's 4 to replace 2.

Agree, especially on Walls. Oregon has a great shot at Walls.

Malone is being groomed to play LB so it's really only 3 to replace 2 at safety.
