5* LB - Anthony Wallace

Post by Iluvmydux »

Has anyone heard how his visit went this weekend? He would be a huge pick up! Sounds like we many have a legit shot.

I'm hoping he was the top 100 recruit that was going to do something according to Mops. Pretty sure he was the onlt top 100 guys visiting.

The basketball recruit was 6'3"/200 PG Bruce Barron, who was reported to have had a blastthis weekend, along with Brett Kingma and Juan Anderson.

Kingma and Anderson were reported to be discussing a trip to ASU next weekend... Mops is now reporting that trip may not happen.

That's excellent news. Did Barron commit?

Barron is kind of an under the radar recruit. I had heard that Illinois has been following him pretty closely and was considering offering him pretty soon.

Good to hear that they all had a great time. Football definitely plays a big role in recruiting for other sports.

Yeah that would be huge. I'm loving what Altman is doing so far.

Here is Barron's espn profile. Neither Rivals or Scout have him rated but espn grades him really high: http://insider.espn.go.com/mens-college ... d%3d100922

Bruce Barron's game seems similar to that of Baron Davis based on the description.

Seems odd that Rivals or Scout hasn't rated a player like him when ESPN grades him out fairly high.

"As the Oregon Ducks walloped Portland State on the field, one of the recruits in the stands was middle linebacker Anthony Wallace out of Skyline in Dallas, Texas. Duck Sports Authority caught up with the Lone Star athlete to get his thoughts on the trip."

Anyone wanna summarize?

Don't get too excited...

Wallace says he wants to be a pilot and hopes to major in aviation or engineering. (from scout.com)

The Rivals article mentions him being interested in the Warsaw Sports Marketing program so i have no clue what to believe but he visited and that has to be worth something.

Thanks for mentioning that, because I've honestly been cautious about getting excited over Wallace because of his academic preferences. The scout info I shared is just from his profile, and is probably old. Glad to see he's interested in our Sports Marketing program, it's one of the best.

But you really don't need a degree to be a pilot since you can take classes and get flying experience for 2 years to get a commercial pilot's license. I bet he has changed his mind about what he wants to do in college since he probably wouldn't be considering Oregon if he hadn't.
