oh lord. :lol: UW does not run scout. i'm no fan of cfetters (he's not as bad as some say he is) but he doesn't grade JC kids and he doesn't grade california kids. cfetters only does NW kids and I believe Hawaii. JC ratings are really not easy considering lack of film, although SFCC is a pretty high-profile JC, I'm really not gonna sweat the grade of a JC OL anytime soon. And just to clear things up, pretty much ever college staff has someone they talk to at a recruiting service. Coaches always have their own grades for recruits but I've known of 3 or 4 current and past Oregon coaches who've talked to recruiting folks looking for players to recruit. Campbell found Blount through a recruiting site.

here is the list of who grades for scout. put down the conspiracy knives and such.

ps: baron is the recruiting manager for scout really "helped" us out to some degree with 2 players who eventually went to Tennessee last year. baron's a good guy.

I'm going on what moderators on this site have said in the past. UW might not run scout some of there writers are in the seattle area and don't like the ducks, I know that much.

Hey, if we still have Greatwood, I am not going to worry about it. This guy seems to have good measurables and the coaches thought he was worth an offer. I trust that Greatwood will be able to turn him into a productive lineman.

I think Baron is 97.5% a good guy.

Hmm, Scout has him ranked pretty low. #27 OT, which excludes OGs.

That's because they haven't evaluated him yet.

Scout now has Clanton listed as a 3 star. I believe that wasn't the case when he first commited.

I disagree with the 3* rating. I think it should be higher looking at his film. He's dominating the LOS. He's like a bulldozer at the tackle position and there are multiple pancake blocks in his highlight reel. I think this is an excellent pickup for Oregon.

He will most likely be a 4 star on Rivals FWIW.

Love seeing an O-Lineman 10-15 yards down field on a run play...
Autzen Stadium... Where great teams go to die...Hard!
