Yahoo!!!! Welcome to the flock, Donte! You won't regret your decision. Oregon is a very special place!

Remember the old days when we used to have like half of our class right up close to signing day? So nice to have the problem of a full class with no more room.

Greatest class ever, and it's not even close! I can't even believe how many top 100 players we have... MC has reshaped Oregon football..

welsome to Oregon great pickup.. what a class. just wow... I remember the days when
it was said you cant recruit the top players to Eugene. Think it makes a difference who the
coach and staff are.

I'm not going to get ahead of myself, but Bryce Foster (4*, .9687 composite) and J.T. Tuimoloau (5*, .9993) are not out of the realm of possibility to close this class.

Foster seems put off by what is going on in Portland. I don't know if we land him.

Just looking at who the commits are targeting themselves on social media. Very centered around these two.

I'm super greedy, I personally feel Foreman is far better than Tuimoloau from the video I've seen and was hoping Oregon had a chance at Foreman. But that would be an amazing way to finish this class!

As for Thornton, he looks like a complete freak athlete! Though he was playing against pretty bad competition, luckily Mario recruits players that are ready to come in and work hard, and if he does that he will be a great WR for Oregon with his height and speed!

I went to one of the other sites and they were raving about Thornton. I am wondering if they are simply star gazing and not looking at the possibility has issues with making the difficult catch as well as getting feet in bounds. The level of competition will go uo significantly in college. If he has issues with those two will be a dud. His speed will help some. There will be fast cb's who will play him tight because can match the speed. I never played in high school or college. Is this a fair assessment. They also felt he would come in and start from day one.

I also felt the same from watching their videos last year. Foreman also won the mvp as a junior. I thought he looked better than JT, but we seem to have a much better chance with JT. If we didn't have all these opt outs and better chance to make the playoffs we might have had a higher probability to land foreman. Seems like he only wants to play for teams that will be on the big stage (Playoffs)

Considering he wouldn't be playing until next year, it's weird how this asterisk/weird season would influence that decision much. Oregon was trending up from last year and if it weren't for the early departures they had a legit chance at beating Ohio State and making it to the playoffs. Though it does seem like this weird season is a three team race between the traditional top 3 teams in recruiting, Clemson, Bama, and Ohio State. I guess if you look at the timing of when he would arrive, the upwards trend, and the current recruiting rankings, Oregon seems like a team that should be in the mix considering that criteria.

I am of the belief that the Ducks are targeting JTT, Foreman, Taylor or bust... If not any of these three, then leave the spot open.

Here's an example.... the Ducks were in the final 4 (If I recall correctly)... https://247sports.com/Player/Ishmael-So ... ol-165436/

There will be more and more available in the portal.

Taylor?
