Something I did not know, apparently they talk every day on the phone as they are fairly close. Kind of cool. Hope they enjoy playing together next year at "the O" :)

BTW they finished one-two in the cream of the crop rankings and there's some punter named Jackson Rice in there too. (the top 10)

You forgot the one guy some around here didn't want, Keaton Arden in the top10 also. Seems the coaches know something huh? 4 of the top 10 players going to UO this year and Cal didn't get any out of their own back yard?

And there is also some DE named something like Keaton Arden or something. Word is he committed to Oregon....

Arden's bio multiple times says hes very big, very long, and very fast. His coach says he should bulk up to 240-250 which is almost perfect weight for a DE

Interesting.

They also mention Piedmont defensive end Keaton Arden. :)

I know Mops can't comment...but what do people think about Diante being labelled "undecided" instead of Colorado?

Impressive, I'm hoping you guys don't think I missed it, I'm just glad to see everyone noticed that. Remember Arden was ranked over USC committ Kevin Greene on this list.

It sounds like the reporter talked with him directly so that may be what DJ is saying. Also him being cousins with Patterson makes it that much more likely he isn't going to be all that hurt going to UO rather than CU, since they sound pretty tight talking every day. It makes even more sense why mom wants him at UO.
