Oregon, Arkansas, and Oklahoma State. He's visiting Oregon January 27th.

If we offer him, he's ours...correct?

Pretty much the case. That's why we're not tripping him in until 1/27. He's a back-up plan after they see what transpires with Darreus Rogers, Thomas Johnson, and probably Jaydon Mickens.

The primary thing with Williams is they say he needs to gain a lot of strength and put on more weight. The other thing we don't know is do they want 2 more WRs for this class or only 1 more? If 2, then JW has a decent shot to be a Duck. If only 1 more, I'd give his odds down around 20-25%.

I haven't heard much about possibly Thomas Johnson being available again, except that he's good friends with Anthony Wallace and that's the main reason he's looking at Oregon. Same with Rogers since I thought he was an SC lock but I guess with their lack of scholarships, they could be purging some people in order to get some others.

According to DT, Johnson is scheduled to trip here on 1/20. If he keeps that date then obviously he's very much in play for us. As for Rogers, I think he's going to be tougher to get than Johnson. He said prior to Barkley's decision, that getting to play even one season with him was a big deal. Since his decision to stay Rogers has reiterated that was a big deal to him. Right now he's considering us & ASU. One report has him tripping here on 1/20, but another has him in Tempe then. One thing for sure is, USC is not looking to unload on their commitment to him like they've done with a few others. The only possible X factor that could affect Rogers and USC would be if Deontay Greenberry ends up flipping and going with the Trojans. Right now I doubt that happens, but it's not out of the question.

Thanks for the more detailed description of the situation.

Offering Javon Williams should have been a no brainer. The kid has the height, the hands, the speed, and the route running ability to be a very good receiver. Obviously, he needs to bulk up and is likely a candidate to redshirt (as opposed to Dwayne Stanford, who I expect to play as a true freshman). Considering the family ties (Dion Jordan's cousin - and they are a lot closer than that - they lived together), I would have expected him to have received an offer soon. I do think that Oregon will offer him and I'm hoping that they will take two WR's in this class.

I watched his highlights and was like "Who's that QB?! Oh, Brett Hundley." Other than that, I like how he goes up and gets the ball. There's not a lot of him running after the catch, but he's definitely a good possession receiver.

JW may get his wish. Dwayne Stanford is talking to Ohio St coaches. According to Rivals story, they're coming after hard after the USAAB.

that would suck

That would really suck. They are loaded at receiver. Meyer is a major scumbag and is big into negative recruiting (just like Tosh).

Stanford seems like he's solid and he pretty much knew Meyer was going to Ohio State when he committed. I think Stanford also liked the idea of playing with Pharaoh Brown (another Ohio native, tho he is from a suburb from Cleveland and Stanford is from Cincinnati).

In the article, he says that he's solid to Oregon, but will listen to Ohio State's recruiters. They plan on recruiting him until he signs his LOI.
