Haven't seen anything posted about this kid...
He's likely gonna one of the top rated recruits in the nation and we now have a slowly burgeoning pipeline in Florida, plus a connection to his school w/ the Dungys...
Do we have any shot at this kid? Has he just not been terribly active with recruiting yet? I'm curious if anyone knows anything more about him, getting him would be a HUGE get!

Re: James Wilder Jr...
I'm pretty sure there was some chatter about him a month or so ago. I think we are players, but I doubt anyone has any new updates on his interest in us since we got a new coach. He'd be a big get though.

Re: James Wilder Jr...
I remember him saying something about not wanting to leave the southeast
"Huard's gonna go back to throw the ball. Sets up, looks, throws towards the corner of the endzone. It is... INTERCEPTED! INTERCEPTED! THE DUCKS HAVE THE BALL! Down to the 35! The 40! KENNY WHEATON'S GONNA SCORE!!! KENNY WHEATON'S GONNA SCORE!!! 20! THE 10! TOUCHDOWN!!! KENNY WHEATON, AN INTERCEPTION!!! THE MOST IMPROBABLE FINISH TO A FOOTBALL GAME!!!"

Re: James Wilder Jr...
I have a hard time seeing a top rated back coming to oregon this recruiting cycle...There is just ridiculous talent at that postion right now. We'll get someone good, but not 5* good.
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."

Re: James Wilder Jr...
We're also recruiting his QB for this year, Phillip Ely.
With that said, from what I've read he isn't likely to go any further west than Alabama. I don't think we're a serious player here.
