Thomas Tyner officially a 5-star!

[buckmarkduck]

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

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

True story phenom, remember when he dropped 2 sure td's vs Stanford when we lost down there.

As for 247, they do a very good job and unlike scout they have never threatened anyone here for posting insider info.

That pass over the shoulder that LMJ bobbled was a thing most decent WRs would love to have a shot at.

I too saw the Sophomore film and wasn't blown away, but I saw some Junior highlights, and the guy is solid. Not only has speed, but runs very physical.
Here is a highlight from one of Aloha's games this year, TT's Junior year. Has some solid runs.

I wonder how much bigger he will get?

I read on another thread that the staff want him to be 220 when he gets here. That's Adrian Peterson size and speed right there!

Great start to the next class. Recruiting is so fun when you win lol.

Tyner could also contribute to the track team if he enrolled early.

Something that would undoubtedly be welcomed by both University of Oregon track coaches and other sprinters in the high school 6A classification.

So is he thinking about coming graduating in time for spring term this year? Maybe that is what the coaches are counting on and why it doesn't seem like they are going after any other RBs for this class.

No, spring next year.

I was one who wasn't all that impressed with him.....however after watching his JR highlights and realizing he still has 2 years to grow as a football player I must say comparisons to Adrian Peterson may not be that far off. Very glad he's a Duck

Ohhhh, /slaps forehead, I totally missed that. He won't be part of next years team but the following year? I'm new to following recruiting, is this common? A junior in high school committing to a college?

It kind of a new thing for Oregon but I think it's becoming more common around the country as players want the decision done with so they can enjoy their SR years.

The AD comparisons need to stop. You guys are better than this.
