Polyduck,
You seem to think Stevens is coming back to Oregon and perhaps playing Dline. Any inside info on him? I know polynesians are pretty tight knit so perhaps you know about him. I ask because there has been so much speculation that Stevens might end up somewhere else upon his return.
Also one of our top recruit profilers, JHOP seems to think its down to USC (not sure since the sanctions) and UCLA for Viliami Moala. What is your opinion!?

Stewart Mandel-"From a purely aesthetic standpoint, I much prefer to watch a good spread-rushing offense over a traditional Power-I offense, and Oregon's has been the most fun by far for the past several years. It's fast, its precise, and when Chip Kelly has the right quarterback (Dixon, Masoli) at the helm, the possibility of someone ripping off a 60-yard run exists on nearly every play."

Re: Viliami Moala
I have NO doubt that Hamani will report to Oregon after his mission. That's what he told me before he left. While he was here 2 springs ago....he was BLOWIN' UP the O-LINE when they moved him there because of the lack of depth (d-tackle) at the time. The O-LINE couldn't handle him. So....we'll see, but I think he'll come back on the d-line side tho'.
I think that we have a better chance @ V-Mo then USC right now (because of the recent sanctions)....we just need to get a visit and I think that the rest will take care of itself. SLICK RICK is gonna make it tough for us tho'...no doubt.

Re: Viliami Moala
I've read where he's a lock @ Cal or @ USC, now maybe @ UCLA. But the Ducks have 2 things going for them, proximity and playing time.
Proximity is usually the Ducks biggest hurdle. Also they have recently recruited well in this area , (Terrence Mitchell, Cliff Harris, Josh Kaddu, John Boyett). If you were a parent in the Sacramento area, which drive would you rather take, LA or Eugene, ( as long as it's not snowing on the Siskiyou Pass)?
Playing time has to be a trump card either this recruiting cycle or the next. After this coming season there will be very few interior defensive lineman or even DE/DT hybrids on the Ducks roster. A freshman or JC will see minutes in 2011
Regardless if Moala becomes a Duck, once Oregon finds a defensive tackle that commands a double team on passing downs, it will be lights out with all the speed the Ducks have everywhere else on the field
I just hope he doesn't commit as soon as I post this
