grant committed to UO

By getting kids with this kind of speed it seems that CK is trying to really copy what Florida has done, just kill'em with speed. I don't know if we will ever have 20 kids who run under 4.4 forty's but if UO can get 10-15, there isn't a whole lot of teams on our schedule who can compete with that. Grant to me is very much like Best he has a ton of speed and once he gets around the edge he is going to kill you but up the middle he will have to get allot stronger. On fly sweeps though and quick pitches this kid will be scary for other teams, especially once he is in the second level.

Grant reminds me of those small burner backs Florida has in Demps and Rainey.

Oregon lands 2010 commitment from Greg Biggins ESPN Blog

Oregon picked up a 2010 commitment from one of the fastest players in the Southeast over the weekend. Ethan Grant (Coconut Creek, Fla./ North Broward) visited Eugene unofficially over the weekend and committed to the Ducks while on his visit.

"Yep, he just texted me and told me he's a Duck," Stewart's uncle Ricardo said. "He said he loved it there and can't wait to suit up for Oregon. Florida State gave him a verbal offer but they wanted him for defensive back and Oregon wants to use him the way Florida used Percy Harvin and that was exciting to him."

Grant has explosive speed and has been clocked from anywhere in the 4.2-4.3 range in the 40.

"He works out with Terrell Buckley and was recently clocked at a 4.21 laser time," Ricardo said. "He ran a 4.3 just a few weeks ago wearing regular school clothes. He's going to the NIKE Combine in March and I have a feeling he's going to do something pretty special."

Grant will be coming home Monday from his trip to Eugene and I'll have more from him on why he chose the Ducks.

Wow. 4.21 laser time? That is some legit speed. Usually when kids are clocking 4.2s its with a hand timed forty, to be .2 away from the 4.1s with a laser timed forty is something amazing.

I reallly like the idea to use Grant like florida use percy harvin. That would be totally sick!. having LMJ and Grant on field same time Plus brown (if we get him) omg nightmare for Defense.
