Why don't we have hottie reporters like that? How did we get stuck with Rob Moseley?

:lol:


This guy looks like the real deal. I hope he commits soon. The article said he was committing on local TV in "the summertime". I've got a good feeling about this.

I am a bit concerned about Ethan Grant though. He seemed to be keeping his mind more open after the visit to Tennessee. I hope this won't do anything to change his mind about us.

Based on what I have read, there doesn't appear to be much reason to worry about Ethan Grant at the moment. He has recently told people he is all Oregon, he is actively recruiting other players to Oregon (such as Ted Meline) and he is reportedly going to be taking his official visit to Oregon during the Utah game, along with fellow Floridians Ted Meline and Isaac Dixon.

Those three would go a long ways to making this a respectable class.

This is thrilling news if true. Hinging our hopes on Lattimore would be awfully stressful as he has stated that he will commit on signing day, Hope he is third commit at the position but if he doesn't who do we take for our third back this class? Are we going to hold off on offering some kids until Latimore decides?
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."

"I'm ready to commit to Oregon already. I told Coach Campbell that I'm ready to commit. After I talked to Darron a couple weeks ago I made up my mind, and I'm ready to go."

That is great!!! Even if we didn't get Lattimore I would be completely happy with Grant and Williams!

Benches 365, squats 600..... runs a 4.49.

Wowza. I would be more than satisfied if we end up with him and Grant. What a great class this is shaping up to be.

There will be a schollie for Lattimore regardless of who commits. Nice to see a
quality back with good size commit this early.

Welcome Dontae!

So, what are the odds that we get ML if DW is going to commit and EG is already on his way?

Sweet!

Even if the Ducks get three backs, Chip will find a way to use them. I think getting the word out on the new Tazer position will help as a great recruiting tool. I think it will go to show that regardless of traditional positions, he'll find a way to get the best players on the field.

This is awesome news. The exact type of RB commit we needed, couldn't ask for much more.

I wonder of having 2 RBs from this class would affect Lattimor's decision?
