Pretty impressive for a 6-5 dude. All CBs point to Oregon.

Thornton is now announcing at 3 PM PST on Tuesday. Was originally planning on waiting for the All America game.

Weird, Dwight Jaynes and a bunch of USC people keep telling me that Oregon is a bad place for QB's to develop so it's so odd that so many top-end WR recruits would be so interested in the Ducks. Clearly they haven't been listening to those people at USC. :lol:

Thornton mentioned he has known for a couple of months where he is going and decided to not put it off any longer. I think or hope since been pictures of him wearing duck stuff that it is an indication of where he plans on playing.

This is as close to a lock as you can get.

I will say again, I think Dont'e is a fine prospect, but he's inappropriately rated and I fear people are going to expect too much, too early from him. Troy Franklin is the premier receiver in this class, and Kyron is probably second.

What are the areas you think he needs to develop?

Hopefully he can grow a little bit and improve his speed.

Looks like he moved it up because the All-American Bowl got officially canceled.
