Rolando Jefferson
A bit of a blast from the past, but educk has a free article up on him and it sounds like he got his act together and UO is the place he wants to be if we offer. He would have 3 to play 3.

Re: Rolando Jefferson
Sounds good but it does look as if the coaches are being real cautious with him due to his past history. It does seem kind of odd that, even though he and Harris graduated HS the same year, he'd basically be a SO while Harris would be either a SR or in the NFL after spending 3 full seasons here.

Re: Rolando Jefferson
I think he took a year off from school and then went this year, and next year will be his first playing football since HS.

Don't forget, he's the kid who put Cliff on 2nd string as a kick and punt returner in HS.

Re: Rolando Jefferson
I kind of gathered that was the case from reading it but it does how odd or twisted life can be when 2 players who were sort of in the same place in their lives in HS are now in such different places.buckmarkduck wrote:I think he took a year off from school and then went this year, and next year will be his first playing football since HS.

Good for him for getting his act together, I hope he makes it to Eugene.

Re: Rolando Jefferson
Would be an excellent pickup if he continues to take care of business in the classroom. The kid is a major talent, but I'm sure the coaches want him to prove that he's committed to hitting the books. I doubt they want another Tyrece Gaines/Diante Jackson type of situation again.
“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.”

Re: Rolando Jefferson
Planned or not, the run was phenomenal!
If RJ really gets his act together, i would love to see him in a Duck jersey.
What's his driving record like?

Re: Rolando Jefferson
Yeah Rolando is straight up legit. If he wants to be here, you do whatever you can to get him here. Especially if he's a 3 to play 3 guy. He has NFL written all over him.

Re: Rolando Jefferson
Exciting news to say the least that he only wants Oregon. Like many have said hopefully he keeps his grades up and Oregon offers,

I hope we take a chance on this kid. He's the type of talent that's worth the risk.
