Our DL recruiting woes have nothing to do with a limited number of scholarships. It would suck to pass up on a guy with Grants speed in the hopes that every good DL doesn't flip us the bird next year.
and where is Grant going to pay with Lache, Huff , Dontae in the same class.
Grant already committed twice and reneged doubt the coaches even call him back
People were saying the same about Diante last year and everyone sure welcomed him with open arms.
If memory serves me right, I don't think Diante ever decommited from Oregon, then committed to another school.
And that's because we needed some WRs in that class. The need for a RB in this class (assuming we land Lache), is very low.

I remember Diante was committed to Colorado for a few weeks until his mom talked him out of it and pushed him back to Oregon.

You are correct, just looked back at some old articles. Again, I think if we turn him down, it has more to do with availability/team needs.

Nice pickup. Did he ever visit U of O? Darron Thomas strikes again.
“If everybody in this room just want to be real with themselves, this game could have went either way,” he said. “We turned the ball over a lot. We beat ourself. Just be real with yourself right now. We beat ourself.”

I think its worth mentioning that one or more of these guys could handle our kick returning duties full-time(ish) so rotation players like Harris, Barner, LMJ, etc. don't have to risk injuring themselves ala WT3 @ Cal.
I would be surprised if they pulled Barner away from kick/punt returns.
Towards the end of the season Barner didn't get many conventional carries in the backfield. He mostly lined up in the slot and took the ball on a reverse or he lined up as a split back with LMJ and was the pitch option.
If we have depth at RB I wouldn't at all be surprised if they move him back to defense and allowed him to be our kick return specialist. I believe he had one of the highest kick return average in the country last season.
. No "sky is falling" threads for me.
