On the USC Boards, they are saying that DJ Uiagalelei could now be an Oregon lean. Could be interesting.

That'd be a huge get. My only issue with Uiagalelei is that he could potentially be a 1st round MLB draft pick and not ever show up, which means Oregon better have a backup option.

I think this is why USC prioritized Young.

Ive read that MLB teams are shying away from HS'ers early in the draft in favor of college players who are more likely to contribute earlier. Hopefully the allure of football wins out if he wants to be a Duck!

Not really. Ten of the top 19 picks were out of HS in 2018 and in 2017 ten of top 21 picks were out of HS including the top 3 picks.
