he wants to go into Engineering. He could always choose a different major, which I'm sure he would if he was really serious about Oregon. Anyway, he has some good things to say about the ducks. I believe the article is free.

He sounds great but getting around the Engineering major is going to be a buggar.

What type of receiver is he, fast, quick, possession type, deep threat what? Is he a YACer?

Doesn't sound too promising in getting him here based on academic choices at Oregon. A place like Penn State sounds more like the school he wants.

It's also about 2,800 miles closer to his home.

If he wants even closer, Maryland has the major he's looking for. As for West Coast schools, Stanford would easily fit his academic pursuits better than Oregon.

they guy who interviewed him told me on twitter that his major wouldn't be a hindrance in picking UO.

That's good news. Still not sold on him actually coming out here.

I'm guessing possession receiver...

I like his TD to Reception ratio :)

Time for Uncle Phil to build an Engineering School at Oregon! :)

Would be nice, but how many football recruits actually seek engineering degrees? And how many would actually qualify? I am sure there are a few, but not many.

Engineering at UO has nothing to do with uncle phil. The state voted a long time ago to not let UO have it and to not let OS have liberal arts. For whatever reason they want to keep it separate and also keep medical as a stand alone also.

Really doesn't make sense, cost-wise, to have engineering schools at schools 40 miles apart. Oregon probably hasn't missed out on too many recruits due to not having an engineering program.

Logic would have placed the Engineering and Architecture schools at the same University - As an Architecture undergrad, I had to travel to Corn Valley to take advanced Engineering courses. :(

That's true as having one but not the other doesn't seem right.
