Linebacker Rahim Cassell (Lakewood, Calif./Lakewood) took his first official visit of the year to Oregon this past weekend and the Ducks are at the top of his board.

"Oregon is legit, it's a great place," Cassell said. "I had a great time and I was definitely tempted to commit, while I was there. I didn't want to make an emotional decision though so I told myself no matter what, I didn't want to commit on the visit.

"The trip stood out for a lot of reasons but the people I met really made the difference. The level of hospitality I was shown was incredible. That's what everyone said about Oregon before I got there, what a family atmosphere it is there and I definitely felt that. I love how the team plays, the game atmosphere, the coaching staff, basically everything about the place was perfect, I had no complaints at all."

Cassell has a visit this coming weekend to see Arizona State, as well as dates set with Boise State and Cal later in the year.

"At this point, I'm still planning to take the visits," Cassell said. "I still want to evaluate all my options to make sure I'm making the right decision. I committed to Florida too early before I checked out other schools so I don't want to make that mistake again. Oregon was great though and if I feel ready, I could commit without taking the rest of my trips."

Also Antwaun Woods will be visiting ASU this weekend. Would love another blow out by the Ducks and maybe he'll see the school he should really go to. :D

That would be sweet to take care of business and beat ASU pretty good while those guys are visiting!

Cassell is a heavy lean right now, I'd have a hard time seeing him end up in anything but green and yellow.

And after reading this article, it seems even more evident that he'll probably be a duck.

He may be even more tempted after this weekend. Let's hope!! :P

A very high quality 3 star though. Oregon seems to havea handful of borderline 4 star commits this class, which I basically consider 4 stars anyway (such as Johnstone and Coleman on Rivals).

These are the type of recruits that Oregon has built and grown the program with so I think the coaches know what they are doing.

It can't hurt the Ducks chances with Cassell's teammate Barr to have such a favorable review of his trip. Also Justin Northern has a scchollie according to Scout, I doubt it's true, but maybe as a DT?

Forgot about Barr being from the same HS. Would be great to get both of them as a package deal.
