Geez, Cal AGAIN? I swear, the NCAA needs to look into how every high profile recruit wants to play for Cal. This is getting downright suspicious. They've done jack an s*$t the last 5 years so what exactly is the motivation on all these kids? Cause it's not winning National Championships or Rose Bowls.

I'm sure Texas is already starting an investigation.

No kidding, you would think they have 300 scholarships available.

The good thing is that he's visiting Oregon before Cal. I think the coaches will give him an opportunity to commit on his visit. If he doesn't, they'll probably offer Mickens. Anthony Wallace was a high school teammate of Johnson's last year, so I think Oregon has a real shot here.

I honestly think he ends up a Duck. Cal has like 14 WR commits in this class already.

They've only got three WR commits and every HS star thinks he'll be the man. I would much rather us have the last OV rather than Cal.

No they have more than three. Chris Harper, Bryce Treggs, Darius Powe, Kenneth Walker, and now Jordan Payton. They also have listed ATH's Demariay Drew and Cedric Dozier who probably wont be WR but could be.

He's not a DLineman, why's everyone so worried about Cal? I like our chances.

Shaq Thompson wasn't at the UAAA game... Are they friends on twitter?
For that matter, should a significant portion of the UO recruiting budet be devoted to Video Game System preferences? X-Box, PS3, Wii, or go old school for a little Texas Holdem with Coach Frost and Azz?

Yeah, I went to scout. Should have known better. Scout has only three listed.

Most Longhorns fans believe Johnson is ours, so I feel pretty confident. Also, don't overlook TCU because they are a legitimate player in this.
We are taking two more receivers fyi..
