Cody Shear: A project player that makes sense

[srsmiley007]

All, many on this board debated Jaxson or Cody. Of the two, I thought Cody would pan out based upon family legacy motivators, athleticism and pure motor. DT just launched an awesome article about the length's Cody went too in order to become a Duck and realize his life long dream. With this kids determination, I gotta believe he's going to be contributor in the years to come.

High Points of the Article:
- He hand delivered a letter Taggart and essentially begged WT's secretary to give it to him. The letter was a synopsis on why he would be a great Duck and offer.
- Since he had limited high profile competition that he went 1-on-1 against, he built a custom video spliced/split screened to show how he compares to Hroniss Grasu (pulls, etc.)
- Texted the coaching staff until 2am on Signing Day.

How we can not root for this kid? I really hope he ascends and see's real time at either Center or Guard in 3 years.

He's no longer a recruit so this goes in Autzen stadium section.

I will be rooting for him.

Interesting thing I heard, Cristobal really didn't want him, but the kid convinced WT to give him a shot. Hope he proves him right.

Wow, that's called heart and exactly what the team was missing last season.

Man, if only the rest of the in state kids wanted to be at the UO that badly. Too soon?
