Heimuli to Oregon!!!!!!!!

[RanDux]

Even if he does take a mission after next year at least this buys us time until we get more DTs next year.

[justducky0]

I hope we can get some DT's for nest year otherwise things will go south in a hurry. Games are won and lost in the trenches

[briarduck]

This guy was the icing on the cake today...we needed this guy Bad!

GO DUCKS!!

From the Portland Tribune...

"We felt pretty good about Ricky all along," Kelly says. "He's a great young man." Heimuli, however, might go on a Mormon mission after his freshman year — he hasn't decided – and "we support him totally," the coach adds.

Not to be a downer, but the coaches tried Hamani at DT and he got pushed around a lot, so they moved him back to C.

That's not what basically every single thing I read was saying. All the media people that watched that I read said that he was a beast in the middle.

Rob Mosley said that Hamani was beast in DT, he pushed OL around pretty well.

Not to mention what two years of maturing and some work with Azz would do to him! He has a great low center of gravity and has the same "tree-trunk" build to him. He will most likely be a beast on whichever side of the ball he plays.

Yeah I'm not sure where buck got the impression that Hamani was getting beat.

Hamani was a beast as a true frosh going up against Max Unger's oline.

[buckmarkduck]

Got it from everything that was said by a couple insiders at the time. He was also only on dline for about a week then moved back.

It'd be great to have him stick around without going on his mission. Maybe a lot of early playing time will help him decide.

That's what I'm thinking. It'll be pretty hard for him to turn down 3-4 years of starting at DT then going pro.

[gofightingducks]

If he gets early playing time like Haloti that should help to make his decision easier. In the Mormon Church you usually go on a mission later in life as well so a career in the NFL that can make you millions allows you the freedom to retire early and go on a mission afterwards. I bet we see a significant amount of playing time from him.

Fair enough, but all things being equal, I prefer to believe good news over bad news. So I'm just gonna put on my homer blinders and only listen to what Moseley was saying.

While I am excited that Ricky Heimuli is a Duck (and I really am) someone needs to help me with some numbers. According to Rivals.com, Ricky Heimuli can only bench press 245 lbs? Is that accurate?
