New Commit

[Destroyer77]

I always think that kids who commit to their "dream school" end up developing well. From the sounds of it, a monster senior year in HS could vault him up to a 4*.

According to MaxPreps.com:

3.29 GPA/870 SAT... Mitchell also played PG on his basketball team, averaging 16.1 ppg/3.4 steals/3.9 rebounds/3 assists.

On the football field, he played a little (Pun intended) RB, in addition to CB, averaging 11.35 ypc on 17 total carries (2 TDs), with a 17.82 ypc average on 11 receptions (2TDs). His season total was 8 TDs.

Defensively, Mitchell 38 solo tackles, to go along with 6 assists, 4 INTs (9% total yards in returns).

On special teams, Mitchell returned 7 punts/31 yards per return with a long of 69, and 2 KO returns with a 34 yard per return average.

Awesome news (finally)
On another note... Why has nobody posted anything in the Recruit Profiles section in over a month?

TERRANCE MITCHELL, NOT TERRENCE.
We got the DB out of Sactown, CA and trust me guys this kid is a steal!!!! He's physical, strong, and has great acceleration. He is committed, confirmed by Rivals. Helps the sting of Harper's betrayal.

Agree that his jump at getting into his dream school is a plus; the added pride of being a Duck is a great motivator, IMO that translates onto the field.

Congrats to Terrance for achieving his goal.

You have to love what his dad had to say in the scout article, "We talked about it for the past week and we didn't see how anybody could offer what Oregon offers."

Happy Day! I Really like the sound of this kid...

[briarduck]

The more I hear about this guy the more I like! Great news!

GO DUCKS!!

[GoDucksIn09]

Somebody mentioned was a high 3 star. I do not know how they rate these guys so forgive my naiveness. It does not really matetr whether does or not but any chance he becomes a 4 star by end of next year?

[Mops]

Will be a 4* in the next rankings for Rivals I am told and should be as well on Scout.com.

Mitchell is maybe the best if not top 3 Corners on the west coast and this is a huge get for the Ducks. Very physical guy who can bump and run with the best. Should come right in and with being an EE could compete to play right away.

[DmoneyDuck]

Finally some good news. We need a strong recruiting class following up our top 10 finish, hopefully our play on the field this year can sway some other needed recruits.

[slammer]

agreed on the 40 times!! I don't think they are that important unless you just wanna run a straight line down the field. I think this is a great get and he sounds like he's not afraid to lay the LEATHER either. I equate this to this years Brian Jackson, Jackson's got a nose for the ball and he's probably one of the best tacklers out there( check his stats ). Anyways, great news was needed and welcome aboard Terrance!!!

[woundedknees]

This will cheer you guys up:

"Mitchell is a tall (5-11) corner that is very fluid in his movements as he demonstrated tremendous footwork during the agility webs. He also possesses very long arms, and his WR skills make him a threat to pick the ball off at anytime. Once he becomes stronger he will become that complete package as a cornerback at the next level. During one-on-ones he was able to come out of his backpedal like a dragster getting the green light. His performance throughout the day earned him DB MVP."

Just read that on DSA. He won DB MVP at the NorCal Nike Camp.

IMO, the ability to change direction with authority may be more important to a cover guy thabn straight line speed...

BTW, Mitchell is listed as the 33rd best DB in the country for 2010 by Rivals.com

http://footballrecruiting.rivals.com/vi ... _key=85853

As a high 3 star, his Rivals.com rating is currently 5.7... 5.8 gets him a low 4 star:

The ranking system ranks prospects on a numerical scale from 6.1-4.9.

6.1 Franchise Player; considered one of the elite prospects in the country, generally among the nation's top 25 players overall; deemed to have excellent pro potential; high-major prospect

6.0-5.8 All-American Candidate; high-major prospect; considered one of the nation's top 300 prospects; deemed to have pro potential and ability to make an impact on college team

5.7-5.5 All-Region Selection; considered among the region's top prospects and among the top 750 or so prospects in the country; high-to-mid-major prospect; deemed to have pro potential and ability to make an impact on college team

5.4-5.0 Division I prospect; considered a mid-major prospect; deemed to have limited pro potential but definite Division I prospect; may be more of a role player

4.9 Sleeper; no Rivals.com expert knew much, if anything, about this player; a prospect that only a college coach really knew about

Sounds pretty promising to me!

[gofightingducks]

Great news! Already three commits for this recruiting class with some great talent at needed positions and great timing too considering all of the recent departures. This kid from all accounts seems to be underrated being a 3 star and #21 rated CB. I love the fact that Oregon is his dream school and his father agreed no other school could offer what Oregon does!

The three players we've got so far in this class are so awesome. Excellent athletes and football players that WANT to play for the University of Oregon. You cant ask for more than that. This class has the potential to be pretty special when its all said and done, even with the limited scholarships availible.
