Ducks Attack Message Board Forum

J Hop made his Tuesday predictions. Anyone get a chance to see what his thoughts are on “the Big 3?” Manning, Flowe, Ringo

I think we might have a spot or 2 remaining for February, too. I think we go after a TE.

Manning - Duck

Flowe - Duck (lots of good sources but with caveat of some USC traction gained this weekend)

Ringo - 50/50

He picked all 3 to Oregon but is least confident about Ringo

He's saying that we could end up with all three. He seems confident about Manning and Flowe. He's saying Ringo is a possibility too.

As for prediction Tuesday, he predicted Eljah Badger to ASU and Robby Ashford to Oregon.

I'm cool with leaving a few spots open altogether and just adding in some proven grad transfers.

I think he had Oregon finishing with 25 5 star players

Clemson can do it

Forgive my ignorance, how reliable or in tune is J hop?

People hate on him because he's a bit of a homer (he is) but he is very plugged in. The most out of any other "insider". He's had CMC on his podcast multiple times.

I do see him as part of the PR department for the program, though.

Depends... The Hopper has been known to be off-key on occasion.

Shoot if he is accurate and plugged in he can be a homer all day! I do t care if he is on Jerry Allen’s homer level if he is accurate.
Side note: I love Jerry Allen and the way he calls Oregon games

1. He's the most plugged in
2. At the end of the day he's a super fan just like us (started out on this site actually)
3. He is reasonable/honest in the realm of recruiting sites but there's always a semblance of 'hope' that comes on every site like that

The only guys that might be more plugged in would be: Greg Biggins and Steve Wiltfong.

On a scale of Nemec to Biggins, he’s a Wiltfong.

Also, even though Manning and Ringo are signing tomorrow, they won't publicly announce their intentions until January at the All-American games. I think we'll have a good idea where they're going, though.
