Post by blackjack17 »

I'm starting to wonder who might be considering transferring and the only names that really come to mind are Keanon Lowe and Dior Mathis. Both could play either CB or WR but don't look like they have a good shot at breaking into a starting role during their time at Oregon. I know both were highly recruited out of HS and i wonder if they might feel like going to a program where they can start.

I saw Dior play in the Army AA game and figured he'd be our #4 CB this year at least but he isn't even playing the position any longer. I in no way want him to leave but it would not surprise me to see him wanting to move closer to home and try his luck with a team with less depth.

Does anyone else have any insight?

Mathis was back at CB this year, but it wouldn't surprise me to see him switched back to WR during Spring ball. I don't know why the dude hasn't been able to get PT considering that all the other guys out there are freshman too, including true freshman Ekpre Olomu.

We've seen a lot of attrition already since the summer, Cantu, Rowland, Burrell, Harris, Cole, Grady, Seastrunk, Williams, Williams, probably a couple more. That's pretty significant, and I feel like there aren't a lot of guys who are all excited to transfer. Who is really sitting but has the talent to rip it up? I just don't see it. The team is pretty young and we have few graduating seniors but tons of open scholarships.

Shaq was trolling USC by the way. USC literally quit recruiting Thompson a day after that news came out because they found out Shaq was just playing them and wasn't really interested. He's definitely going to Cal..

As for Harper, I'd be thrilled if we extended him an offer. I'm not sure if this was a misprint, but I heard he only allowed two completions the entire season! That's just nuts, and it would hurt Washington.

So far, it looks like a bunch of committed guys are visiting, I remember seeing Marshall's name on the list.

Also included is Dion Jordan's cousin Javon Williams. I know there are rumours of Jaydon Mickens the High School Bowl MVP coming, and some other WRs as well.

Does anyone know what's up with this? Why are all these guys visiting so late in the year? It seems like a crap ton of these guys are WRs too, so we know that Kelly is going after WRs again this year.
The 20th is gonna be a big weekend with a few guys that are already committed and a few that cn be swayed in Oregon's direction. The 27th is starting to shape up with some good recruits too

ok, so two separate weekends then? sounds good.

does anyone have a complete list of who is visiting?
According to Rivals it looks to be something like this
Jan 20th:
RB Byron Marshall
WR Thomas Johnson, TX
DL Alex Balducci, OR
DT Stetzon Bair, IA
LB Jabari Ruffin, CA
ATH Jaydon Mickens, CA

Jan 27th:
WR Bralon Addison TX
WR Javon Williams, AZ

And Trey Williams, out of Texas, may visit at some point too

Add David Perkins to the 20th.

My guess:

Kyle Murphy
Javon Williams
Thomas Johnson
+ a couple surprises out of nowhere

According to Scout, Frost was down visiting WR Julian Brooks at his HS in the last few days. Kid is 3* listed at 6'2. Scout west coast analyst Scott Kennedy says Brooks hasn't gotten as much luv as he would have due to early UA commit. Says he's a very physical receiver. Originally committed to Zona but backed out after Stoops canned. Some are expecting him to be added to to visit dates. My bet is the 27th.

AllenTrieu, scout.com dude, just tweeted it. Rivals had him pinned down for a 20th visit to LSU for a while, so maybe LSU filled up or something changed? Maybe bud lee can fill us in on this one.

Either way, the reports of him visiting Oregon sound legit.
