If we close with...
If we close this class with the following players how high of a ranking do you think we would have? Top 5. Top 3.
Ratings according to scout.
Simmons 5*
Jackson 4*
Dawson 4*
Heyward 4*
Fisher 4*
In all honesty, this could happen. Fun times

Re: If we close with...
I am fairly certain (although I would love it) we won't finish with your entire list.
I do, however, think we'll get:
Simmons 5*
Jackson 4*
Fisher 4*
And will likely lose Byers. I have no inside knowledge, just a gut feeling. Go America! Go Ducks

Very little chance that Dawson ends up at UO. Unfortunately, it sounds like Heyward is going to USC.
“If everybody in this room just want to be real with themselves, this game could have went either way,” he said. “We turned the ball over a lot. We beat ourself. Just be real with yourself right now. We beat ourself.”

I'd say this (and keeping Byers) is probably the best case scenario; and I'd be more than satisfied with that.jimmy12 wrote:I am fairly certain (although I would love it) we won't finish with your entire list.

Barring a miracle, we aren't going to land Dawson unfortunately. The rest are still fair game.rjfrik wrote:If we close this class with the following players how high of a ranking do you think we would have? Top 5. Top 3.

My guess right now is Heyward + Fisher.

Re: If we close with...
The schools currently ahead of Oregon should also finish strong so Oregon probably will finish with the 7th-8th best class most likely.

agree, those best two chances. also chance Ducks get none of these guys and lose Byers and lose Rhandall to grades.. that would mean a class of 21. save up for next yr. Ducks will be fine.

And I don't mind saving scollies for next year because we will be fine.
But we do really need one more DT this year for sure. Even if we lose Randall and Byers, we still need to land Heyward or Simmons or someone lower on the board because most 2/3 guys will need a redshirt year to be able to play. They can't just step into a reserve role like Heimuli or a 4/5 star guy.

Re: If we close with...
USC's class might be incredibly small next year, depending on Sanctions outcome and if they don't have many transfers or early NFL entries. An astute SC poster who pays attention to UCLA expects them to have a small class too.
If UCLA and USC end up being limited in what they can take, and UO coming off 2 PAC-10 Championships, we should be able to get a really good recruit for almost every schollie we can get our hands on next year (our class size is also projected as small unless we can hold some over). In other words, save any schollies, if we miss out, no fillers.

Re: If we close with...
Im not worried about where we finish in the recruiting rankings. I just want atleast 1 more DT this class and I want to keep Byers. Ideally we need 2 more DTs but if we can land one more big body this will be a solid class.

Clemson doesn't appear to be making a last minute push for Byers, so he'll stick. Simmons, Jackson, Heyward I think we'll go elsewhere. We'll get Fisher and maybe a surprise commit - hopefully on the DL - by Wed. That will be 25.

in my opinion, heyward is the difference between a good 2011 class and a great 2011 class. usc is beating us into the ground this year
