Wounded that's pretty funny. Even discussing the hypothetical of Seastrunk and Lattimore both committing is hilarity. That's like winning the lottery...extremely not likely. ;)

I think we have a better shot with Seastrunk, because he visited and loved it. Who knows if Lattimore even visits? Pryor said he would visit and never did.

Lattimore will visit... he and TP are completely different situations. Pryor never made the visit because he was playing for a state title in basketball all through the time he could have visited. CK even said he loved the fact that Pryor was so committed to his basketball team, even though it ended up meaning the Ducks didn't get a visit.

The only reason there hasn't been a visit to UO from Lattimore yet, from everything I have seen, is that he wanted his family to be able to come, so they had to save up for a couple months and wait until after the season to visit because of that. If that's true (and based on the character of Lattimore from the articles I've read I have no reason to assume it isn't) then there's no reason to believe he won't visit.

I wasn't in any way suggesting that the Seastrunk/Latt idea was any more than a Pipe Dream.

It was more stating the likelihood of the coaches going after 2 more RBs this late in the process seems a little out there.

No worries. I think we've been going after these two backs all season haven't we?

Who'd you rather have, Lache or Marcus?

Lache. Keeps the Texas pipeline rolling, and IMO he'll compliment Dontae Williams much better.

from this article on ESPN (one of the last mentions at the bottom), they make it sound like Lattimore would probably be favoring Oregon if we weren't on the other side of the country (I could be reading too much into that, though, since there aren't any actual quotes)

Penn St thinks they're in the lead right now along with Auburn after the video of him with Redd came out yesterday
