This is the most absurd recruitment story I've ever witnessed (edging out Ugo Amadi).

I actually feel a little bad for Oregon State. This is a bigger loss for OSU than it is a get for Oregon.

And not (no longer on?) OSU's roster on its official site: https://osubeavers.com/roster.aspx?rost ... h=football

Easily one of the saddest things ever for Oregon State. Didn't think we needed him. Not sure he will do much here. Kind of wanted him to go to OSU to be honest.

Hard to say, because I only know the Clif notes version of the Steele recruitment. Was he all-but-signed to USC before going to Florida, as Devon was for Oregon?

Aside- I wonder how all the players from Devon's class who thought he was a future Duck are feeling about this. Wonder if he's going to have to prove himself to those guys for spurning them 2 years ago.

This is my question. If we miss out on someone good because of this, that would be a bummer. Williams is rumored to have hands of stone.

As for current commits - I don’t think we lose Wilson or Hutson. But in the past few days there have been people changing their crystal balls on Elijhah Badger from Oregon to unclear.

No WR recruit should be scared of our depth chart. If someone is good enough to play, they’ll play. Who are our established guys returning in 2020? JJIII and Redd? Addison? Pittman if he comes back and plays well? Everything else is an unknown.

I think Williams is at least equal to Addison who’s currently starting. I personally think he’s better but that’s just opinion and speculation. He was still talented enough to get some snaps even with the deep receiving core At usc. He was a must take if we had room IMO and has higher upside than badger and will be a bit more seasoned coming in.

We will likely have: Addison,Pittman, Williams, Wilson, Johnson and Redd as our core with still waters wildlife and Delgado behind them. Just like our lb unit from last year to this year, I think it goes from one of our weakest positions to one of our deepest in one year.

Badger's best position is DB. If he's set on playing WR in college, I'm OK with letting him go elsewhere. Thought the same of Braden Lenzy.
