Who is a 'Must Take Recruit' for Oregon?

Post by briarduck »

I thought this deserved its own thread...and a few names mentioned that we haven't discussed. It would be unbelievable to land a bunch of these guys!

Who is a 'Must Take' for Oregon? from Duck Territory

I was like, oh no, not another bleacher report. But after reluctantly clicking the link, I realized it's actually a 247 article inside a BR frame, so here's the real address: http://oregon.247sports.com/Article/Fre ... lass-30010

My bad I should have pointed that out better...I did mention that it was FROM Duck Territory, I should have bolded that part...oh well.

I think at this point no one player is a "must get", we have seen over the years that UO does a great job of getting the players that fit well in with what we already have.

Ok Jhop has lost all credibility saying we are deep at WR. Seriously? Two returning WR's with actual play time, a few walk ons, a couple of sophmores, one JC transfer, and what 3 incoming freshman? If thats a deep WR corp then last year we were absolutely STACKED!

Just because we have quantity, does not mean its all quality. Just my opinion.

I agree with you here. Until we actually see how they do, the position will still need to be replenished this year and the next.

I agree we are far from stacked at WR but its a fun article with a couple of recruits I wasn't sure where we stood with them...

But this guy is a "must have" in my mind.

****RB Rushel-Shell - a big back who can do it all, would be an amazing compliment to our other backs.

What you have to realize about JHop is that while he's an "insider" now, he's still no different than you & me. He's a duck fan on a message board. If he has some recruiting news I'll pay attention but if he's just breaking down the roster or games, meh. He's not any more qualified or different than any of us posting our drivel on here.

Seems to be a lot of confusion between the intent of the article. The author wanted to talk about players who wanted to give a late commitment even though the class was full. "Who would you find a way to make room for even though the recruiting class was full if they wanted to commit last minute?" is what he was trying to get at, not "who is a must get".

There is a subtle difference between who is a must have and who you wouldn't turn down even if you had already got another good player at their spot.

In my opinion DJ Foster would be one of those. One reason being he is so versatile he could feel several spots depending on the need. Even if you had all the RB and WR and CB slots you had allocated filled, if DJ Foster called on signing day and asked if his offer was still valid, you say "absolutely".
