I really hope we get him. He's said that we're his leader hasn't he. Do you guys think that his friend (Steven Bethley) will get an offer?

This would be a great land for Oregon. JHOP Mops or TK any of you know anything bout direction Uko is leaning.I realize is only speculation and have been wrong in past but would still welcome any thoughts on where Uko might be heading.

That's really good news, especially since he seems like he may be leaning our way already.

This would be a huge land for us, I like where the signs are pointing and the idea of a stud freshman DT qualifying has me really hoping he chooses us.

Especially if he was the first of an ongoing group of successes at DT... Oregon is due.

I'm hearing conflicting reports. Something tells me there's some disinformation out there right now so hard to tell. He's playing it very close to the vest though.

Tonyd: Maybe there is no "disinformation". Maybe you're just "misremembering" what you've heard. :)

DT has multiple insiders, not just me. Those insiders have their insiders and all in all, if we can't find out some kind of inside information on a recruit, then there is usually no inside info at all. In this case, there's probably about 6 sources and 4 out of 6 are saying something different, lol.

Uko IMO could be the most important recruit on Oregon's board right now. Oregon needs to land a top DT who can qualify. Plus, he has a ton of potential. 32 inch vertical for a man his size is insane.

All speculation. If it's too good to be true, it probably is...

Ala...Boyd, Brown, Bolden, Lattimore, etc...

Uko could choose Oregon bc of his familiarity with the location and relationship with Oregon coaches. Prob between SC and UO, with the edge going to SC.

Unless he's playing games with Greg Biggins, I doubt it unfortunately.
