DEVON BLACKMON
Commitment Status:
Solid Verbal
University Of Oregon
Now, according to all i've read, and from all sources close to him. After his visit, and talks with Chip, Oregon was a lock. Hopefully during his trip, if he makes it to So Cal, he brings back some more talented players lol

Who knows, maybe he'll convince Marqise to join him at UO.
Right now it's UO and USC, and whether he decides to stay on offense or defense. If he goes to UO, I'd say he's the best player in your class hands down.
Thanks for being a respectful poster, and try not to let the members here that hate other fans get to you. Hope you stick around.
Lyerla would be a close no.2, but i'm not sure if you're putting him at TE/WR instead of LB/DE (or maybe that was French, or both)?As for the top player in the class, I would say Lyerla or Blackmon would give him a run for that title, but I think Lee has a much higher potential long-term.

Re: Devon Blackmon
I think Lyerla has more potential at LB long-term but could probably help the team more short-term as a TE/WR. French is a definite question mark but I think he ends up at LB/DE, sort of like a faster Kenny Rowe.Braveheart wrote:Thank you, I appreciate the kind words.Tray Dub wrote:He'd definitely be up there.Braveheart wrote:He was supposed to around the time Farmer committed (or maybe a little bit before, actually, It was before), but he changed his mind.

After Next year Curtis White, Christian French, and Colt Lyerla will be the only scholarship TEs. I think both stay, especially if Curtis' Injuries this year keep up.

Re: Devon Blackmon
That would be a waste of talent. At least 1 of those 3 ends up on D.

Re: Devon Blackmon
French is the most likely to end up there initially since Lyerla said the coaches are giving him an option for either offense or defense.buckmarkduck wrote:That would be a waste of talent. At least 1 of those 3 ends up on D.

Re: Devon Blackmon
This, put both of them on D. Doesn't matter if they're DE's or LB's. That's just my opinion of course.buckmarkduck wrote:That would be a waste of talent. At least 1 of those 3 ends up on D.

Re: Devon Blackmon
Highly doubt it. We will get 2 TEs this upcoming class IMO, and then we'd have 5 scholarship TEs. Lyerla or French will eventually be moved to defense (or maybe even WR).Hoagduck wrote:After Next year Curtis White, Christian French, and Colt Lyerla will be the only scholarship TEs.

Re: Devon Blackmon
Well, anybody worried about blackmon visiting USC (as if there was something to worry about) should feel relieved. Seems like the coaches didn't want him recruiting for UO this weekend.
