Catches the ball, and seems to be just shifty, strong, and fast enough to make it interesting.

Haha exactly what I thought when I watched those

Did scout drop him to 3* when he announced he was going to visit us?

[lukeyrid13]

I don't even pay attention to Scout's rankings.....LMJ was a 3 star. Terrence Pritchett a 5*. Cody Bruns a high 4 star and on and on. Rivals is far better

no. the scout guy explained in detail why he's ranked where he is ranked on educk. why do idiots still think there is some conspiracy AGAINST oregon when it comes to rankings? many times scouting services can't see every player and every tape and give a good and fair ranking. for the 3,321st time, different eyes see different things.

I'm completely shocked to see you come running to the defense of scout.

Not that hard to look at his offer list though... When the top teams in conferences like the Big 10, SEC, and Pac-12 offer a player, he is probably good enough to be a four star. But that might be too much for scout, my apologies.

He has offers from Alabama, Florida State, Georgia, LSU, Miami, Michigan, North Carolina, Ohio State, Stanford, Tennessee, USC, and more. Sounds like a mediocre recruit to me. While no recruiting website is perfect, in my opinion, rivals does the best job of evaluating football recruits, on average.

Stanford is much different than the other receiver recruits that Oregon brought in last year. He isn't a burner (probably runs about a 4.6 40), but has fantastic hands and an impressive vertical. According to this article, Stanford is 6'4 205 pounds. Once he gets to campus, I'd expect him to put on another 10 pounds of muscle. He may be more physically mature than the other receivers that Frost brought in last year (other than Vaughn). If he can block, I think there's a really good chance that we'll be seeing Stanford a fair amount next year. He may not replace Tuinei in the starting lineup, but Frost talked to him about incorporating him into a lot of the same offensive packages.

Ohio State fans seem to think that when (if) they hire Urban Meyer, he'll be able to flip Stanford. I hope that's not the case, but it's definitely a possibility. However, it seems like Stanford's decision to commit to Oregon had to do with a lot more than just football. It also sounds like his mom is very supportive of his decision.
