Boyster '100 percent' committed

Offensive lineman Beau Boyster (Bellflower, Calif./St. John Bosco) has canceled his weekend visit scheduled to Oregon and said his commitment to Arizona is now rock solid.

Boyster committed early to Arizona but was planning to take a few of his official visits before making a final decision. Oregon was a childhood favorite, and he said an offer was likely to come if he took an official visit.

“I’ve decided not to take the visit, and I’m 100 percent committed to Arizona,” Boyster said. “I had a great visit last weekend and just really feel like it’s the best place for me. A big key was when they decided to keep the OL coach, Robert Anae. We had a great relationship, and I’m excited to play for him.”

Oregon offensive line coach Steve Greatwood was planning to come in for a home visit with Boyster tonight but the lineman said that will no longer be happening.

“Coach Greatwood and I had a nice 15 minute conversation on the phone,” Boyster said. “I told him I was done with the process and happy with Arizona. He was happy for me and wished me luck. He said I’m going to be one of the best centers in the league if I keep working hard and if anything changes, to give him a call. He’s a class guy all the way but I’m very excited to be a Wildcat and ready to go.”

He seemed kind of like a back-up plan for Oregon. But with OL recruiting kind of sucking even with all the talented players on the West Coast this year, it does hurt a little that Oregon can't even get a player who had the Ducks as a childhood favorite and was going to be getting a scholarship offer this weekend. Of all the OL on the West Coast, Oregon just doesn't seem to be in it for any of the top ones, more for the lower ranked ones.

That's fine, like greenyellow said he seemed kinda like a back up plan.

Well, I did just see Hroniss' name on a Freshman All-American list. Last Center to have that renown was some guy by the name of Max Unger...

Good point. Even as a Freshman, Grassu seems like an upgrade over Holmes. I love Grassu, he has made some Freshman mistakes, but he has made some down field blocks that have really impressed me. And I haven't seen a bad snap all season. He's going to be a lot better in years to come!

Actually, Max played LT that year, but yea, nice honor to have regardless since I believe that was Enoka's SR year, too. Having one guy at C for 3-4 years is a major plus.

Thats cool dude. Nothing wrong with going to the Chick-fil-A BOWL every year. It's a very respectable bowl game. Enjoy the sun in Zona!!
