Two D-Linemen from just outside Pittsburgh both have Oregon in their top 3 along with Texas Tech and Iowa.

Since we completely struck out with the gardena trio, It would be awesome to land these two. Both are high quality recruits, and would be big boosts on the D-line.

I'm really hoping Lupoi lands at Texas which may give us a second chance at Gibson and Barr, but if they stay committed there getting these two would definitely soften the blow.

I agree. Although, getting the Pennsylvania duo would be nice regardless of what happens with Barr and Gibson.

Barr was a Cal lock regardless of Tosh's Xbox expertise. Barr is one of the few guys that actually chose Cal because of their academics. Barr is an excellent student and has been a Cal lean for quite a while.

Seems like the only question marks with them are distance and then possibly academics for Jackson.

Ya, I'm definitely concerned about Jackson's academics. The guy makes Randall look like a candidate to be an academic all american.

If the coaches take Jackson, I'd expect them to overbook this class.
