grant committed to UO

[jimmyg]

This is amazing. I am so jacked about this. TK u mentioned this is our second 4 star for 2010..i am blanking out..who's the other?

Ethan will thrive with us

Curtis white. he is also considered to be a mid 4 star.

Curtis White will be a high ranked 4-star for us, he is already on a couple top 100 watch lists for 2010 class. I would bet a 5.9 on rivals

This guy's kinda like a jaquizz rodgers, if he gets in the open field, noone is catching him. Grant+Brown=2010-2013 NC DYNASTY

I don't know if that is a good comparison. A lot of people caught Jizz Rodgers last season......his longest touchdown run all year was 7 yards.

Ethan has a lot more breakaway speed than Jizz, but that doesn't necessarily mean he is better.

He's only a junior in the vid, he will have an opportunity to bulk up this year, and possibly a RS year here at Oregon. But watching how fast this kid get's around the outside he is 3 steps faster than everyone on the field. He's pretty legit. IMO

I meant he is like Jaquizz in that he is small and hard to tackle. Ya, and his only good game was against USC, after that he was irrelevant. The only reason he had that many yards was because he got 200 more carries than anyone else.

If he has offers from Florida, UCLA, FSU, and Oregon... why the hell didn't he start at North Broward? I went to High School in Florida and I never thought NBP was anything special. If he has an offer from Florida, he's got to be a 4-star...

I'm pretty sure he was starting at North Broward. He was attending St. Thomas Aquinas and that's were he was down on the depth chart behind some very highly regarded players. He transfered to North in order to gain some playing time and better his education. But anyways this is a great pickup and can't wait to see Ethan in a Duck uni!!!!!!!!!!

[jhopduck]

His uncle that posts on rivals says he did not leave due to competition, another factor he never mentioned. This was in an argument with a guy on the main board.
He does start now for Broward.

[UofDuck]

And he is on ESPN's 150 watch list. That rocks.

Ethan highlight vid of North Broward vs. Pine crest.
Kid runs like a gazzelle.

Here's a link to a story about his commitment in the Miami Herald.

"I have watched Ethan since he began playing football and running track," said Roy Jossfolk of EliteScoutingServices.com. "This is a young man who will do some great things next year in high school as well as making a huge impact with the Ducks."

Nice list of offers..."The Ducks were not the only school to make an offer. Georgia Tech, West Virginia, South Carolina, North Carolina, UCLA, and Boston College were all in on this potential game-changer."

Getting Ethan Grant is a monumental pick up for the Ducks. It opens the door to other kids in Florida as they know a fellow Florida boy is going there.

Here are some guys that could very well be Ducks when its all said an done.


Ivan McCartney- Has expressed a intrest in Oregon and is also cousins with Chad Johnson

Ted Meline-Compared to Ted Ginn JR, almost came out with Ethan Grant for an unofficial visit. Will visit in Spring/Summer
http://oregon.rivals.com/viewprospect.asp?pr_key=68026

David Perry-A freak of nature DE that just started playing a few years ago and is said to be fast off the line
http://oregon.rivals.com/viewprospect.asp?pr_key=91322


Peniel Jean-I have actually found out that Oregon is his favorite school and we are going to be hard to beat.

Isn't Ivan McCartney good friends with Ethan Grant?

I could definitely see us landing McCartney and Jean.

Don't forget about James, the Texas kid Oregon brought in last year. He is a little bit slower then Grant, but still extremely fast. Lets say Brown and Grant do end up as ducks, that is one heck of a group of runningbacks Oregon will have in James, Brown and Grant.

I'm with Vinny here. That's a bad comparison. Jaquizz hasn't had a run over 35 yards. Oddly enough, he's somewhat of a power back for his size. Run the I formation, and have Jaquizz pound inside.

With Grant, I see more of a Noel Devine or Holliday (the guy on LSU).
