Thanks for the info. Disappointing that we're not after Flowers anymore.
I've heard that the coaching staff hasn't kept in contact with Anthony Denham either. It sounds like it's Lee or bust at WR.
They must be preserving the remaining spots for d-linemen and Lyerla.
Recruits that Oregon is still after:
-Delvon Simmons- down to Oregon, Florida, and Texas Tech. Isn't committing on Saturday anymore.
-Branden Jackson- down to Michigan St., Iowa, Oregon, and Texas Tech. Wants to visit Michigan St. before committing. Could end up at MSU, if Simmons goes to Florida.
-Kevin McReynolds- down to Arkansas, UCLA, and Oregon imo.
-Koa Ka'ai- Oregon and Nebraska appear to be his favorites
-Marqise Lee- still think he ends up at USC, since Farmer is his best friend.
-Lamar Dawson- likely going to Kentucky
I wonder if guys like Isiah Norton and Mo Latu come back into play if Oregon strikes out on Simmons.
Yeah that sounds about right to me. Jackson+Simmons+Lee+Lyerla+another Dlinemen would be beautiful.
Norton hasn't been recruited in a long time. Latu, I believe I recall people saying there's some grade issues with him. But I know he likes Oregon.
I bet the coaches take a shot with an under-the-radar WR that comes out of nowhere so they can redshirt him and break up the classes a bit. If Oregon stands pat with what they have, they'll only have 8 scholarship WRs on the roster (not including walk-ons who've earned scholarships). I think the coaches want another WR to bolster the depth.

I know it's a long shot, but Westerman is still a possibility on the OL.

Forgot about Christian Heyward. If he makes his trip up to Eugene, I think we have a decent shot. Apparently USC isn't as high on him as I thought they were. It could come down to Oregon and UCLA (again). He does have family ties to UCLA though.

Forgot about Tuinei in my count since I sort of just focused on the underclassmen. If you include Hawkins, then there are 10 already here and they may not take any other FR WRs to balance out the classes a bit, although they could always redshirt some players.
We are scary inexperienced next year at WR, only Tuinei and Huff with any significant reps, obviously Hoffman had some. Glad we have have some speed coming in anyway.

At some point, an "under the radar/take a shot" kid isn't worth the scholarship to us. A few years ago I would've totally agreed, but with all of our success, we're going to continually be seeing serious interest from many of the best players in the country.
With our depth and limited amount of schollies for next year, I think we'd easily trade a stud wr in next years class for a project wr in this one's.

Many around UCLA believe that Heyward has actually eliminated them and is down to SC, us and SDSU...
I like our chances with him, and am hopeful that, given his athleticism and explosiveness, might even work at SDE, allowing us to take 2 other DTs...

Not sure i agree. Mael was a defensive back converted to wr. Wasn't even on the
radar at receiver. He kinda worked out ok i think. I'd take another one of him any
day of the week. But i do understand what your saying.

Being under the radar doesn't mean you're not a good player. If we followed your advice, there'd be no Maehl, no Chung, no Unger, etc.

Maehl was a highly coveted DB by the coaches though. He wasn't under the radar to them, they were after him very early in the process. Same with guys like Chung, Unger, Byrd, etc. I think what glazeduck is talking about is the guys that you bring in last minute as filler. We have an extra spot so lets find a kid who may or may not be any good, type of guys. And I totally agree that we don't need to do that anymore. Those guys usually end up being bottom of the roster guys their entire careers or don't even last all 4 years.
I know he was coveted by the coaches as def back. I believed he was talking about
under the rader wide receivers. But i could be wrong. Simply because the thread is
wide receivers in this class.
