I'm sure everyone already knows this, but no one posted on it. Mickens

"Oregon and Washington are the favorites but Washington has the upper-hand because I visited up there already," Mickens said Thursday at the Semper Fidelis All-American Bowl.

Nice. I like our chances if UW is only ahead because he's already visited.

Curious why he decommitted from USC.

Is he visiting WSU too?

According to Scout he is.

Mickens has some issues with grades by the way.

I believe he's down our list of kids after Rogers, Johnson, & probably Williams. No way he ends up a Duck if we only take 1 more WR. If we take 2, maybe, but still dubious. Also, as Maehl pointed out, there are some academic issues.

Agreed, but if he gets an offered during this visit (which is possible IMO), then I say he's all Oregon.

I'm starting to change my tune re Mickens. It appears it's down to us & UW according to a Rivals piece that came out yesterday. He's been doing very well at the Semper Fi practices due to very great speed and quickness. I tend to think right now we like him more than Williams and he could certainly get an offer if all possible qualifying issues can be cleared up. The final question will end up being do we want 2 more WRs for this class or just 1? If only 1 then I still think it goes to the first to commit between Rogers & Johnson which could leave JM out. If 2, then his odds go up considerably. IMO they would take Rogers & Johnson if they both want to come, but I'm not as convinced regarding other combinations of 2.

Ducks going after Jabari Ruffin too. He's going to visit. Would love to snag Ruffin, he's a top talent.

It sounds like you are pretty damn optimistic that the Ducks will get at least one of Rogers or Johnson. Aren't both those guys committed elsewhere?
