What do you guys think? We still got time to make this a really special class if we can land one super star.

What about the RB that is committed to A&M? Is that already over?

[cordy02c]

yeah he said he is sticking to his commitment

[bellsduck]

Interesting that Antonio Morrison was evidently a visitor to UO this weekend. A current commit to Florida. 6'3" 220lb MLB.

[buckmarkduck]

I would probably not have McCarthy under solid chance, but rather the 10% chance category. Armstrong, Alexander and Foster 0% chance. Alfalava is a total backup plan for UO.

[TheMaehlMan]

McCarthy will go to USC, and we are no longer recruiting DJ Foster(both sides moved on) or Kwon Alexander(cancelled visit).

[jimmy12]

We are out of it for most of these players. Appreciate the effort, but Scout and Rivals have yet to lower the interest in us yet.

PS-- Trey Williams will be visiting soon.

[karlhungis]

This is rapidly becoming a pretty depressing thread.

[neezy3]

Marcus Rios picked Ucla this weekend, are we after any other db's besides Seymour?

[UofDuck]

What is the latest with Pharaoh Brown?

[Duck07]

This is rapidly becoming a pretty depressing thread.

Well, that's why you don't take scout's "interest" meter seriously.

[uostudent]

The title of this thread should be "Why scout is the worst recruiting site on the internet". Talk about some outdated information.

I'm not going to go through every player, but Oregon is out on a lot of the guys you listed.

Oregon has a good shot at DeForest Buckner (could be the next commit), Seth Jacobs, and Pharaoh Brown. Ken Ekanem is kind of mystery - loves Oregon, but will probably end up at Virginia Tech. Oregon has a shot at Alex Kozan if he schedules an OV, which he is considering doing. Nick Davidson wants to take his visits before deciding. Ohio State is probably the favorite for Davidson if Meyer wants him. Oregon definitely has a shot at Jaydon Mickens assuming that he visits. Javon Williams is a backup plan at WR. If Oregon offers, he'd probably commit (he's Dion Jordan's cousin). Right now, Arkansas is probably the favorite to land Williams.

What's the story with Antonio Morrison being in town? That was kind of out of the blue.

What's the story with Antonio Morrison being in town? That was kind of out of the blue.

Oregon was in his top 4 before he committed to Florida. Many believed that he was very high on Oregon early in the recruiting process.

Word from the Florida Rivals site is that he is 100% gator from his dad's mouth so i wouldn't expect him to flip.
