Mariota is going to be a good player at Oregon if he can beat out the others. He didn't seem to have a bad game all year and led his team to a state title in a fairly easy fashion.

Is it just me or does he look old enough to be a junior in college?

Well 372 carries in your soph year might put a few years on you. If he repeats his SO and JR years productions next year he'll finish with 9000 some career yards rushing. He might end up looking as old as me with that kind of mileage.

Eh, we are in it for the #2 rated RB in that class.

I'd rather have the #2 ranked T or G

Mariota is going to be great at Oregon, mark it down, this kid is going to be one of the all time greats at Oregon especially in Chip's system.

[Hoagduck]

In order for him or Randall to be in the discussion among the great Oregon QBs they'll have to beat out Bennett.

He is only gonna have one year as a starter....Bryan Bennet is FOR REAL. Although I agree that Marcus is going to be a stud.

I think Bennett will be real good also, although Mariota and Randall could give him a run for the starting job if they are as advertised.

[ljginger]

Justin has said on DT he doesn't expect Randall to qualify...this would be a huge letdown considering we could have had Brett Hundley!

I 100% couldn't agree with this more, Bennett's going to be a star

Still a few months until signing day!

Yikes really I had no idea, isn't he CK top guy?

Either way coaches are a aware of this so if this is the case I'm sure there is a backup plan with either another QB (either Hunley or other) or another recruit at another position of need (DT, DE or WR).

It could also help explain why he may have been suspended from his team's playoff game. If the coaches think he'll qualify, they won't recruit anyone else. If not, they must be reaching out quietly to some other top QBs, which there aren't many left uncommitted.
