Jake Rodrigues Gets Ranked

[UOducksTK1]

Just got rated the 10th best Pro-Style QB on Rivals today with a note on the main article pointing out that he could be a big riser.

That's good to see, there's no doubt that Rodrigues is a player, I just find it he's listed as a Pro-Style QB everywhere despite his impressive rushing numbers.

#11 QB in the country now, awesomee

[GrandpaDuck]

Rodriques and Bayless are now 4 stars on the the other 5 are rated 3 stars.

What caught my eye is we now have 7 commits and only 1 of those is from California. Last year only 9 of 23. Once official visits can be made I would expect to see more recruits from greater distances come in.

Just checked and last year none of the first 7 were from California which was unheard of for the Ducks but now appears to be a new trend.

The program's name recognition is so much greater than the past 5-10 years. Plus, Chip has really made an effort to get out of the usual areas since CA can only net so many top-flight recruits that fit Oregon's system.

This kid can really sling it on the run, going both right and left. His pocket awareness is exceptional. He's a perfect fit.

Was bored at home today so I ran some numbers on this year's QB's
These are the average stars from the big 4 recruiting services (Rivals, Scout, ESPN, 24/7) from any QB with at least one 4 star rating:

Star (#)
Recruit

4.5 (#1-2)
Gunner Kiel
Jameis Winston

4.25 (#3-5)
Zeke Pike
Matt Davis
Devin Fuller

4 (#6-10)
Connor Brewer
Zack Kline
Anthony Alford
Cyler Miles
Trevor Knight

3.75 (#11-14)
Bart Houston
Chad Voytik
Tyler Matthews
Ford Childress

3.5 (#15-22)
Greyson Lambert
Maty Mauk
Jake Rodrigues
Jeff Linquist
Wes Lunt
Tanner Mangum
Bennie Coney
Chad Kelly

3.25 (#23-31)
Will Gross
Shane Dillon
Tyler Cameron
T.J. Millweard
Preston Dewey
Jeremiah Briscoe
Skyler Mornhinweg
Patrick Towles
Travis Wilson

3 (#32-35)
Sean McGuire
Mike Baker
Clayton Nicholas
Matt Morin

2.75 (#36)
Nate Sudfeld



So by these numbers he is between the #15-22 QB in the nation
Not bad
I wish we would have gotten Davis though

I don't think 247 has updated their rankings since Rodrigues made his push up the rankings. He seems more like a top ten or at least a fringe top 10 quarterback in the country to me..

[GrandpaDuck]

Most of the QB's ranked above him on that list wouldn't get an offer from Oregon other than to walk on. If the coaches were being sincere with Rodrigues that he was the top QB on their board then his signing is a recruiting homerun. The Ducks signed a 5 star QB as rated by the most relevant and knowledgeable rating service.

agreed +1

and many of those qb's on the list do not fit into our offense. as popular as the spread offense is, it still "hinders" recruiting every type of qb. the offense actually narrows the list of qb's we can offer.

[SteelTown43]

Once he wins the Elite 11 finals and then dominates senior year he'll be considered amongst the best 3-5 qb's in the nation, and he's is an absolutely perfect fit for out offense. Can't wait for him Mariota and Bennett to battle it out in 2013.

I was just thinking about that yesterday.
My UW friend was taking about Price and how he has to replace Locker and asked me who was going to replace Thomas and I couldn't give him an answer. There are too many good options. I can't wait

Great list - How about keeping up with it in terms of who commits where and when? Somethin' to do, dude.
