Mariota visiting Oregon next week

Check it out, comments on the article are always appreciated.

He told me the coaches want him solely at QB at this point. Obviously if we add a 3rd QB to this class, things could change. After he visits, I'll get at him again to see if anything changed.

If he commits, I hope Randall doesn't decide to go elsewhere. If I had to pick one between the two of them, it would be Randall. Best case scenario is that we get both and then Hundley would really top it off.

Guys we need a MINIMUM of 2 QB's in this class. There's no reason to believe that either would have to play a different position or that the commitment of one would scare off the other. We NEED them both in this class.

If Hundley wants to commit later, I sincerely believe that CK would accept his commitment as the 3rd QB and then not take a QB in the 2012 class.

Agreed. The only scenario where I think one player could be moved to a different position is IF we end up with 3 QBs for this class.

Lets not forget that Mariota was offered before Randall. Personally, I don't care who we end up as long as Chip gets "his guy" regardless of who the recruiting services like better.

With that said, we need 2 QB's. I would be just find ending up with Mariota and Randall.

Instead of looking at it as "which guy will switch positions" or "geeze I hope one of these guys doesn't go somewhere else", how about...

Holy crap, can you imagine having 2 of these guys on the field at the same time as (hopefully) Huff and maybe as well?!?!

I trust Kelly's offensive creativity, and let's not forget that our WRs coach is a former QB.

I'm not suggesting that we'll turn the spread into some crazy dual qb system, but bringing in great athletes that are also highly ranked QBs will NEVER be a bad thing, no matter how the pieces fall into place!

It's actually very rare for skill players in high school to stay in the same position once they reach college. Players in high school will play positions that are needed at that time but actually project much better at another once they develop in college. Look at Spencer Paysinger. Played WR in high school but is now one of the better LBs in the Pac-10

Bingo! The staff may feel the opposite from the services. Based on their early offer, I think they feel they are stealing Mariota before others get involved.

I'm happy with both, all three, whatever. But I'm really excited about Mariota, just seems like a stud from his video. I think many Duck fans will be very happy in 3-4 years.

Thats about how how I feel. If I was asked to rank em they'd all be tied at 1st. Each one has different things I like but I don't prefer one over the other.

Amen, I actually would be excited to get all three because each seems to have a unique skill set apart from each other.

While I do like Mariota, Hundley is a cut above the rest.

Randle wont be going anywhere when Mariota officially commits. Mariota commited before Randall so he knew that was the case before hand, also in his interview he stated the coaches have been up front with him about them wanting at least 2 qb's in this class. We want QB's and players who aren't afraid to compete, that's how SC did it for the last 10yrs and that's what CK is building at UO.
