Any real chance with Poutasi? He is a big dude.

Post by UofDuck »

ARLINGTON, Texas – Cousins and three-star offensive linemen Cedrick Poutasi (Las Vegas, Nev./Desert Pines) and Brandon Fanaika (Pleasant Grove, Utah) will announce their college plans during halftime of the Offense-Defense All-American Bowl, which will be played Thursday at Cowboys Stadium.

Poutasi, a 6-foot-5, 325-pound offensive tackle, said he will choose between Oklahoma State, Oregon and Utah. Fanaika, a 6-foot-3, 320-pound offensive guard, said he will choose between Stanford, Utah and Auburn. Both are currently bowl-game teammates participating for the West roster.

No I doubt he comes to UO. We were his favorite but we really slow played him and didn't even start calling him until last month and just offered a few weeks ago. I think he made up his mind and isn't visiting UO.

I didn't think we had any shot until I read that article. I was surprised that we were even listed in the final three. It all stated that "Poutasi says he likes all three of his finalists". Still, I'd be quite surprised if he picked us. Does anyone one know if he has visited before? I know he hasn't taken an official, but has he checked out UO on an unofficial visit or maybe during The Opening?

Poutasi hasn't visited Oregon, and the hope for Duck fans was for him to delay his decision and visit Oregon. He will likely pick Utah, but I still think it is possible that Poutasi takes a last minute trip to Eugene before Signing Day.

Like Maehl said, he'll probably go with Utah. Sucks for Oregon though too, because if we wait til signing day, I bet Poutasi is a duck.
