I wonder what any of those other schools that were in it for the package deal would have done if they ended up not getting the higher rated players? Would they have pulled the offer for Scales or would they have done what the Ducks did and honor their commitment to him. And was Scales offer originally put in place for the purpose of acquiring the other players or did Kelly see something in him? I think it may have been a combination of both to begin with but I am happy they didn't pull his offer after the whole mess with King and McCain.
I think that it was a combination of both, but in the end Kelly like Scales' competitive streak he showed in a camp at Oregon.

I go with Troy Hill just to be different but this class doesn't really have true sleeper outside of Scales and Dungy.

Again, not sure if this is a "sleeper", but I'm gonna go with Bennett. I don't think he gets the hype he deserves.

Have a friend who watched his HS games all season and was really impressed. Seems freakishly athletic, Kelly says he might run under a 4.5. Looking forward to seeing him in a few years after he bulks up and learns the playbook.

I also think it's cool that Grasu is going to be the center. Considering how important the relation is between the positions it'll be really unique to have two players that will potentially have 7+ years of experience together by the time they're starting.

Good point, I had forgotten that Bennett and Grasu were teammates in high school.

I'm going with Dontae Williams I think he's getting a little overlooked because of Lache but I think D-Will will tear it up here!

Dude- that bike is AWESOME! I'd kill to ride that around UT's campus!

As for my sleeper, it has to be Josh Huff. His highlights are unreal. Destroying that DB, hurdling those dudes... I had a buddy of mine down here at UT say he hopes Huff gets RS because that was terrifying. He's also terrified of LMJ.
But picking a guy out of this class is like choosing which cereal milk is the best (fruity pebbles if you must). Lache, Williams, Bennet, Heimuli (I choose to live in the now, LDS mission or not)... It is unbelievable. Add to the fact the "unknown," if you will, of guys like Dungy and this is a class I never would have dreamt of.
Whine all you want about the lack of DT, I myself included, but realize what this class is capable of. I can't even fathom that. When have you seen a better class, fellow duck fans?
Chip knows what he is doing. Believe, and win the day. I'm stoked as hell!

Just to be different and think outside the box, I'll go with Howell.

If he does his job and leaves Oregon w/ a perfect snapping record he'll have been worth his weight in gold.

Not to mention he'll allow Clay to focus on becoming a stud LB.

Far too many games are won and lost on special teams. A special teams stud could make a huge difference.
