HS All Star Games Thread

In previous years, I would have said "no way" do any of these recruits choose Oregon. I think this year is a different story, and the ducks have a ton of momentum going for them.

Let's say that we do get King and Easley...

That gives us the following commits at DE for this class:
Isaac Remington **
Tony Washington ***
Chris McCain ***
Curtis White *****
Gabe King ****
Dominique Easley ****

And we still have a shot with Owa and Werner. Seems a bit excessive to me. I wonder if any of these guys will move to other positions. Maybe we will keep White at TE since we will be pretty loaded with talent at DE?

possible moving White to TE

[woundedknees]

I would be surprised, assuming that group all signed, if at leat 1 of them doesn't try to bulk up for a move to DT.

Remington Juco
Washington will RS and not be an early contributor
McCain OLB
Curtis will be a TE
Gabe King strong side DE
OWA weak side DE
Easley will be moved to DT

You think that McCain will be an OLB? 6-6 195 running a 4.75 doesn't really fit the mold for our LB's very well. Not saying that you are wrong but it seems strange for me to picture it.

He was told by the coaches he wilj play OLB. Also at that weight I cant see him playing with his hand down very much. Also, how does that seem weird?

[karlhungis]

It seems weird to me to picture him at LB. He seems to be too tall and skinny to be a LB. If he is able to put on weight, I would think they would just keep him at DE. Looking at our roster, he would be the tallest LB on the roster. His 40 time also seems to be a little slow for a LB but I don't know what our current LB's 40 times are, so maybe it is right in line.

Maybe unusual would be a better word.

Agreed, this finally feels like the year things will go our way during the HS all star games.

Making the Rose Bowl didn't hurt either..

Winning the Rose Bowl and keeping that momentum is key I think

Couldn't agree more. Kelly's getting a ton of praise and attention from the National Media. A Rose Bowl win just amplifies that for the rest of the BCS games. I guess that's one advantage to playing in the first BCS game, you'll be the lead highlight in the next one's pre-game and halftime shows.

If we land Werner, Easley, Owa, Mathis and King, this might be the best defensive recruiting class we have ever had. Can someone throw in Heimuli for good measure.

Maybe we should mention to them that Haloti Ngata and Dwight Freeney just made the Pro Bowl this year....

That might help a bit.

[GoDucksIn09]

I am not sure who is on the roster for the Under Armour game. I know I could go to ESPN.com and look but might be a waste of time. Is there anyone in the Under Armour game that might be a duck recruit picking the ducks? The game is saturday and will probably be watching it.
