ALso, for those curious, Biggins is a big USC homer.

Kingsbury is officially going to the Cardinals, though I still don't think Ford leaves USC.

We're getting Puka's last visit. He's also visiting UW and UCLA. He's related to the Sewells and they (including 2020 4* LB Noah Sewell) are always saying good things about Oregon.

All according to JHop.

Have any other players surfaced because of this USC fallout? I've heard that a few more are now in play.

(Side note, I think the timing of this Kingsbury saga is almost worse than Slick Willie's antics at Oregon. Why? He essentially saved Clay Helton's job and now they are left with a bad class from the early signing period (yes, they added two 5*'s...for now) and no direction for offense. What OC is going to come in with essentially 1 year to prove their worth before Helton is fired? What recruit on the fence is going to sign with so much uncertainty. Yes, there are recruits who are just USC kids. Bru is one. Ford very well have been another, but the ones are the fence... not a chance. They are screwed for 2-3 years. This year, Helton likely canned next year, new coach and staff and then start over.

Just keep eye on Urban Meyer after this next year. USC will pursue him.

I have a feeling about that, too.

Puka has a highlight tape I can't find now that shows him high pointing a ball over 3 defenders in the end zone. That's what I want!

Ford is supposed to be amazing but every time I watch puka's tape, I'd rather have him.

Simple answer... Take 'em both, then wait to see what comes out in the wash.

BTW, Puka had the Utah state record for receiving this year - 26 TD/2,336 yards/166.9 YPG/103 receptions/22.7 YPC, all while maintaining a 3.34 GPA.

According to MaxPreps, Nacua was also the NATIONAL leader in reception yards.

Compare that to Kyle Ford, in 5 games, prior to injuring his knee:

7 TD'/456 yards/91.2 YPG/29 receptions/ 15.7 YPC

Ford is obviously a 5 star for a reason, however I watched a 7 on 7 where it seems like Pittman was the much better receiver. I don’t know what goes into the decision of stars but I think a ton of Fords is his size and potential for growth.

Ford dominated the Opening like no on ever has. He shredded everyone.

Another new visitor, 4* S Josh Sanguinetti, has been added for the week of January 25th. Hadn't really seen Oregon's name connected to him (they didn't make his top 8 back in September) so it seems they're just going after anyone they can to fill that final safety spot.

I'm fine with getting an anyone they can 4* safety.

These are crazy times we're living in, where a 4-star safety from Florida is a back up option.

Weird that he hasn't taken any official visits yet. But he seems pretty highly recruited. Michigan and Oregon are getting two of his officials as of now.

6'2" is OK... 170-ish? Maybe not so much!
