Rivals' preliminary rankings came out, and as expected. TT got his 5-star ranking.

Love it!

Official PRE ranking is like a promise ring. Not guaranteed.

[RanDux]

Currently a 4-star on Scout.

Can't wait too see him in a ducks uniform running all over the rest of the pac 12!

Currently a 4-star on Scout.

I'm surprised scout has him that high.

Unless I looked at it wrong, I think Scout doesn't have Robert Nkemdiche as the best player in the country(or as even a 5-star) which kind of invalidates their rankings...

Who on this board has watched him in person? A few weeks ago there was alot of talk about Tyner not being that special. Several people on this board said he all he had was speed. poor feet, couldnt make people miss yada yada yada. Im not bashing anyone s opinion but going off that article i would have to say He is a pretty special player. Glad he s a duck and really nice to see the state of oregon getting some quality respect

Not a bad way to start next years recruiting class. Glad see him ranked that high somewhere besides 247... Click our link! We have huge news on FIVE STAR Thomas Tyner.

And the criticism has come from his sophomore film on youtube. It's pretty unimpressive. But his JR film is much better. And obviously he's a freak specimen playing against highschoolers, he's not going to have developed amazing vision or quick feet because he hasn't needed to. He'll be just fine with some coach Campbell coaching.

Can he catch the ball and block?

Who cares. No really, it doesn't matter all that much in our offense.

Blocking not so much, but our rb's better be able to catch the ball

247 does a good job with their top 100, but after that it is pretty bad. Not surprisingly their rankings are like ESPN and some of their main talent evaluators came from there.

Anyone who thinks TT is not special must not have seen him play. I have played against him and he is so good. He could be the number 1 player if he stays healthy. he was injured for 6 games and still went off for 1,200 yards. He is faster than LMJ and DAT and he is only a JR in high school. not to mention he is all of the 200 pounds he is listed at and when we played him he had to have been 210.

LMJ was a pretty bad pass catcher when he got here.
