I know its Bleacher Report but is this has any truth to it, I will pee :lol: :lol: myself. The only thing that would stop me from wanting this guy is if affected the chances of landing Thomas Tyner.

http://bleacherreport.com/articles/7719 ... ent/page/5

He is going to be a star at the next level.

As a junior in high school, he rushed for 2,510 yards and 27 touchdowns on an incredible 323 carries.

He can handle the load that Oregon’s offense needs, yet he is a speed demon in the open field. This scandal seems to have brought him closer to the Ducks.

In the recent weeks, he has upgraded his interest to medium. He has continued to believe Chip Kelly that they didn’t break the rules and increased his interest in the Ducks.

Maybe he doesn’t care if they are guilty or not, but one thing is apparent: if the Ducks sign Rushel Shell, you can bet they will continue to dominant the college football landscape.

Yeah kid is a beast he's like a mini LMJ. I hope he gets here glad to hear he is at a medium with us. If we get him and with all the other RB's we have we will continue to run game on kids and also continue to collect great running backs over the years to come. Oregon is a good place for RB's to go and show there talent.

I dont really get that excited about these 5 star RB's or skill players these days. At this point i know the ducks are gonna high quality offensive players every year. What really gets me excited is when 5* lineman and defensive players have interest in us.

No doubt, we will win or lose in the trenches and I think we are succeeding with our O-Line now we need to have more "big-time" success with our D-Line especially at DT!

But RShell is a beast and we need them too...

The tide can change in a hurry. Oregon isn't too far removed from whiffing on every high profile RB they went after. J Stew turned things around and it's been great since. But for a guy that has followed recruiting for many years I will never say that I don't "get excited about these 5 star RB's".

Offensive Linemen and Defensive Linemen are always welcome additions to the team, but I sure as hell wouldnt pass up on a few more Snoops either...

dont get me wrong, i would love to land a 5* back every year. just saying i expect to at least get a 4* back every year if we are recruiting the RB position hard enough, based on need. but 5* lineman, linebackers, and DBs are way harder to come by for the ducks. so i get way more excited for them knowing that no matter what, we will fill our needs at the offensive skill positions. WR has been an issue until last recruiting season, so i still get pretty stoked if a 5* WR looks our way. The way i look at it, every RB we give a schollie to is gonna be capable of producing in our offense. We are always gonna have a productive player at that position. The Russel Shells are nice, but if we whiff where not gonna drop of that much, and we are still gonna land the Russel Shell caliber type backs every couple years. Were on a 2 year streak at this point.
