Anyone know how much of shot the Ducks got?

If he's willing to make a trip out here all the way from NJ, then I say Oregon has as good of shot as anyone else on his list.

Unfortunately we haven't fared to well with D-lineman going against Cal/Tosh. Hope we can finally pull one away.

If he's a good d-lineman he'll go to cal....

I do think that DE is more of a pressing need right now than DT. Heimuli and Kellikipi as well as Hart look real solid whereas our young DE's have more question marks around them I think

He aint comin.

I think we can land him if we get him here. We been pulling some recruits last year and this year is looking great as well. I mean look at how we got Baby DT from SC that was soo huge and he was a strong SC commit. I betting this kid will come here. That is my opinion.

The Ducks have a SIIIIIIIIIIICK D-line right now if Tosh doesn't coach at Cal. Instead we are only very good....Coach Azz is a beast of a coach...talent is slowly upgrading on that side of the line...

funny thing is he visits Cal/Lopoi then Oregon/AZZ I have to say I got Oregon being the last visit will make the impression. There could another team close to home in the Mix though. this should be interesting.

Too bad "he ain't comin".

Were this not preordained, one of his big stated desires of early playing time would appear in Oregon's favor versus some of the other teams on the list. Oregon's notorious defensive rotation and above average number of snaps faced combined with the projected depth chart gives solid opportunity for playing time in 2012 for a stud DE.

The depth chart and the defensive rotations should help but sometimes those things don't sway a recruit like they should.

I'm skeptical due to how far away Hamilton lives, but sometimes recruits fall in love with Eugene. Azz and co. will pull in a great defensive linemen from back-east at some point, or at least I believe they will.

we should tell dline recruits go to cal and fake injuries

I know what you mean, but alot of times its actually the complete opposite. I know for Me, Oregon being somewhat far away was a good thing with me. It wasn't even that i wanted to leave home, i just wanted a different experience. I think that could help some prospects, but hurt them at the same time. Just speaking for myself here though.

I'm not expecting anything here, but if we can somehow pull him over to UO, that would be great. I still have real high hopes for Christian French at that DE/OLB spot that he can be so dangerous at.
