Murphy, Armstead, Banner, McCarthy, and Peat... ;) And if you believe that, I hear Nick Holt would love Allioti's job!

The hope is that Oregon can flip guys like Thomas Johnson, Darreus Rogers, Jabari Ruffin Jaydon Mickens (maybe), and Cedrick Poutasi (if he decides to visit). I think all five are a long shot.

If Javon Williams waits until the end of January, I think Oregon will offer him and he'll commit. Oregon would be wise to offer him earlier than that. They slow played Poutasi and it backfired. Williams recruitment kind of reminds me of B.J. Kelley's last year (except for the fact that Oregon offered Kelley, but didn't return his calls). Apparently, Williams has been in contact with the coaches and may visit if they allow him to.

Kevon Seymour is out there, but he's expected to announce for USC (UCLA has a shot). He wants to stay close to home.

Ken Ekanem wants to visit but will probably end up at Virginia Tech.

Haven't heard anything about Seth Jacobs recently. He was really high on Oregon and has an offer. I know he loves Arkansas.

I think Oregon is still hanging around in the race for Alex Kozan. I know he visited unofficially over the summer. Not sure if he has a committable offer from Ohio State, otherwise he'd likely commit there.

Tavita Taito is out there and (may) have an offer from Oregon. Grades are a major issue though.

:? Sooooooooo who do we actually have a shot with other than Williams?
Stewart Mandel-"From a purely aesthetic standpoint, I much prefer to watch a good spread-rushing offense over a traditional Power-I offense, and Oregon's has been the most fun by far for the past several years. It's fast, its precise, and when Chip Kelly has the right quarterback (Dixon, Masoli) at the helm, the possibility of someone ripping off a 60-yard run exists on nearly every play."

I'm guessing we get Buckner and 4 people off the radar.

You never know. Pharaoh Brown looked like a major longshot before he visited. A lot can change after an OV. Texas' instability at QB could come into play with Thomas Johnson. Johnson was teammates with Anthony Wallace last year at Skyline (a football powerhouse). Wallace also played as a true freshman this year at Oregon.

It sounds like Javon Williams is now visiting on January 27. In other words, if Oregon doesn't land Thomas Johnson or Darreus Rogers, then Williams will likely be end up at Oregon.

I wouldn't be surprised if Oregon gets a few more "mystery" recruits to visit late. Ja'juan Story visited pretty late last year.

Minimum, I think Oregon needs one more offensive lineman.

Sounds like Oregon is out for Kozan...

Well, i recall somebody saying the other day that Oregon has a mystery 5 Star recruit that may be a silent commitment or something. Possibly at OL?

I think we get a couple of coups late this year. We've got enough spots left to take some star players but we've also filled all of our needs, so we can be picky instead of being desperate.

I see an OL, a RB and a WR for sure, along with Buckner and maybe a recruit or two that come out of nowhere like stezton blair.

A guy I used to work with said that the 5 star was a Olineman...dunno who that would be or how he came by that info. I took it with a grain of salt.

what? we're at like 19 commits with Buckner. if we take 24 that's only 5 more commits available, and 6 would be the 25 which is the limit.

If Hoffman has to quit (due to concussions) would that open up a scholarship?

If a player retires due to injury the school is obligated to pay for his tuition still but the scholarship doesn't count against the 85.
