QUACK! 2021 C Franck Kepnang commits
In a bit of a surprise, Oregon has landed 4* C Franck Kepnang, the #6 center in the 2021 class and a top-30 player overall. 247Sports is reporting that he's reclassifying to the 2020 class and will enroll at Oregon so he can redshirt and learn from N'Faly Dante before teaming with Nathan Bittle next season.

Based on this profile/interview, he's big into fixing computers and flying drones. He'll be majoring in computer science at Oregon.

Man, Altman and crew seem to pull one of these re classified dudes every year...awsome.
Stewart Mandel-"From a purely aesthetic standpoint, I much prefer to watch a good spread-rushing offense over a traditional Power-I offense, and Oregon's has been the most fun by far for the past several years. It's fast, its precise, and when Chip Kelly has the right quarterback (Dixon, Masoli) at the helm, the possibility of someone ripping off a 60-yard run exists on nearly every play."

Perfect complement to Bittle.

Re: QUACK! 2021 C Franck Kepnang commits
I watched some more highlights of him. Dude has a high ceiling. He is pretty raw and I think he may take a year or two until he hits a comfortable stride.
But man, if coached properly and he learns quick, he's gonna be a great player.

He looks raw offensively but all the tools to be a monster defender and rebounder right out of the gateUOducksTK1 wrote:I watched some more highlights of him. Dude has a high ceiling. He is pretty raw and I think he may take a year or two until he hits a comfortable stride.

Ducks need an inside defensive presence bad and this guy fits the bill to a T!

Re: QUACK! 2021 C Franck Kepnang commits
I read somewhere that even though he is re-classifying, he is likely to redshirt this year. What a bummer, given the lack of shot-blockers on the roster this year.

Any idea if that's his choice or the coach's choice?Phalanx wrote:I read somewhere that even though he is re-classifying, he is likely to redshirt this year. What a bummer, given the lack of shot-blockers on the roster this year.

Well if nobody is getting an accrued year of eligibility what's the point of anyone redshirting?OregonFan4Life wrote:Any idea if that's his choice or the coach's choice?Phalanx wrote:I read somewhere that even though he is re-classifying, he is likely to redshirt this year.

Re: QUACK! 2021 C Franck Kepnang commits
There really isn't. I suspect his playing time will be limited initially but will be playing quite a bit at the end.Duck07 wrote:Well if nobody is getting an accrued year of eligibility what's the point of anyone redshirting?OregonFan4Life wrote:Any idea if that's his choice or the coach's choice?Phalanx wrote:I read somewhere that even though he is re-classifying, he is likely to redshirt this year.
