Ive seen it posted a couple of places but still nothing official that Alex Balducci has commited, would be huge if he did.

That would be awesome. Especially after the Cliff Harris news.

It's now confirmed from Jhop (247) and ESPN, so welcome Alex! We needed to get off to a good start on DL.

55 he's been down to UO just this spring, at least a half dozen times to watch spring practice. That doesn't take into account how many games he came to and other times he has been down to visit.

Thanks BuckMarkDuck, I thought I had read that somewhere but we know Chips policy on accepting commitments only after a visit and didn't want to assume anything.

I know grown men who live in Salem who have never been to Eugene or seen the Ocean for that matter. I had assumed that he, as an interested recruit, had made numerous trips but didn't know for sure.

Solid pick up.
Tony from rivals thinks we will be picking up another 4* Dlineman soon

Excellent pickup. I felt that Balducci was eventually going to commit to Oregon, but nothing is guaranteed. I would love to see him play DE, but he may get really big and have to move to DT.

Wouldn't surprise me if it's Luke Kaumatule. I'm sure Kaumatule knows Koa Kai and Mariota. Would love to see the coaching staff continue to recruit Hawaii. UW and Utah have had a lot of success recruiting Hawaii in the past. I believe the Pacific Islander club is one of the largest student organizations at UO. Hawaiin players should definitely feel comfortable in Eugene.

I was thinking Zach Clark's little brother but he's only a 3star. He will be in town for the camp and his brother graduation i read somewhere.

I think he was referring to Jeremy Castro though.

Awesome pickup for us, he has a bright future with us. It is also nice to get these guys early in the process so that we don't have to worry as much down the stretch, plus he can become a recruiter for us.

Great news and I love the fact that he's top local talent too!
