Heck yes. This guy was definitely one of my #1 wants this year, so glad we got it taken care of now.

Oregon has been doing work in state since Chip has been here, and justifiably so. That's what happens when you win.

Another great commit. Very exciting.

Oregon blew him and his parents away on his visit to the spring game. They had a video
work up on Alex and lots of background info. They also said he was at the top of their
defensive board. Great pick up as BSU was pushing hard to sign him.

He was never going to Boise. It was between Oregon and Washington.

What made me nervous was Cal and Tosh just offered him a couple weeks ago, so it's great he committed so early and we don't have to deal with that as much.

uostudent,

I can tell you that on his visit to Boise with his mom he did enjoy it. Oregon has been #1 and yes
Washington was in the mix as well. His parents prefer him to be close to the PDX area
so they can attend games.

Not sure if anyone listened to MOPS interviewing JHop (http://premiumticket1320.files.wordpres ... opkins.wav) , but they had an interesting nugget regarding Balducci:

Apparently AB is really close w/ Isaac Seumalo, Josh Garnett and Zach Banner and is working hard to get all 3 to UO too. MOPS even said that he thought AB's commitment would play a role in Banner's final decision...

Let's hope Balducci's as good of a recruiter as he is a football player!

I agree. Banner has an impressive offer list, doesn't he?

Another little nugget that someone close to Alex on another board posted, and it's that UW coaches really got pissy when he told them that he was going to UO and his father had to get on the phone and have a few choice words with them. Hope he makes sure to remind those Washington guys about the incident and talk them into UO.

Wouldn't surprise with what has been said about Sark and his assistants.
