Serra Trio Recruiting News

George Farmer

The Oregon Ducks played host to several of the top recruits on the West Coast this past weekend, and possibly the most talented prospect on hand was Gardena (CA) Serra High School WR/S George Farmer.
Farmer, who is ranked as the No.5 wide receiver in the 2011 class, was thoroughly impressed with the play of the Ducks’ high-powered offense, which put up 53 points in a win over Washington.

“They are a fast team, a big team and are building,” Farmer said. “Their offense is amazing the way they get their receivers the ball. It was a great trip. I was really impressed.

“I got to see everything, the stadium, locker room, the equipment, everything. It was crazy!”

Like his high school teammate, Marqise Lee, Farmer currently has Oregon as one of his top three schools.

“USC, Cal and Oregon – and Miami, I still have to take a trip to Miami, so I am still open to them,” Farmer said.

While in Eugene, the 6-2.5, 210-pound standout had a chance to sit with the Oregon coaches and see how they would utilize his talents in the spread offense.

“I got to talk to each and every coach and they told me what they had planned for the offense,” he said. “They showed me some film and I could really relate to their offense.

“Everyone talks about the pro-style offense being an advantage going into the NFL but the routes really don’t change. You are running the same routes, catching the ball and showcasing your ability after you catch it.

“I don’t really look at the pro-style and spread offense because if you do what you need to do then you are still getting to go to the next level.”

One of the things that really stood out about the trip was the closeness of the team.

“Every teammate loved each other and they were there for one another. They had fun and joked but when it was time to get serious they got serious,” Farmer said. “They were like brothers up there, they had each other’s backs.”

Farmer will take an official visit to Florida this weekend and plans to visit Miami later in the year.

Great article, George sounds interested in us for sure but you know apposing coaches are using the "pro-style" offense angle because of Georges comments and I like how he responded, if GF is smart and isn't swayed by any other teams history he will see we are the future!

Good stuff Bumi and BTW I would trust mops over an article written who knows when because these recruits change their plans/trips all the time. Mops has top notch info.

The best and most appealing sell for Farmer to come here would be immediate p.t. and he would very likely step right in and start. I know they're likely selling him the same thing at SC with Rojo graduating, but there are also several studs waiting to get their shot there that won't make it as easy. I think Lee is the key here. We have to have him pick us and make a strong case to his buddy as their most recent statements say there's about an 80% chance they'll go to school together. Still think they end up at SC, but it's sure going to be fun seeing how this goes.

Bumi where was that article from? If it's a premium article from scout or rivals, I'll have to ask you to stop posting entire articles. If you want to summarize, that's fair game. However, copying and pasting articles from a paid website is not.

Sorry, but I don't want to have any problems with other recruiting sites. I hope you understand, thanks.

From twitter:
"Scott_Schrader Serra DE Jason Gibson will not visit Florida this weekend, but teammates George Farmer and Marqise Lee still plan on visiting."

Looks like Bumi was correct.

I was wrong. USC did in fact get that in home with Farmer. His entire family was there, and according to reports, it went well.

No word on Lee.

Honestly, I hope we get at least one of them. I would be fine with that.

[Tray Dub]

Like it or not, TK has to not let that happen otherwise those premium sites start threatening legal action. Just summarize next time please, Bumi. Thanks for posting it though.
