Ducks Attack Message Board Forum

Thought I'd start a post for ppl to mention kids that we might want to keep an eye on.

Obviously Kenbrell Thompkins is on the list.

Also worth keeping an eye on are Rykeem Yates and Julius Moore, DE and DT respectively, both verballed to UCLA but having academic qualifying issues. I mention these 2 because UCLA is in need of DL as badly as we are, really want these kids, and if they're even close to qualifying at UCLA they should have no problems getting in here.

Anyone else out there we should be keeping an eye on that you guys know of?

EDIT: Marquis Jackson is in the same situation as the two above...

''Chip Kelly said today the Ducks still have room on the 85-player roster of scholarship athletes despite adding 20 prep recruits and three JC transfers.''

I wouldn't be suprised if we added more after National Signing day.

What's the deal with Risean Broussard? I haven't seen him sign with any team yet. Does he have grade issues? He is a DT I would go after.

Julious Moore goes to my high school and I've heard from a lot of people that he is really overrated. I saw him play in the state semi-final game and he definitely didn't jump out to me as a great DT. Although, I think if I was so good at evaluating talent that scout, rivals, espn, and coaching staffs would be trying to hire me, so maybe I'm wrong.

Just going by what my brother at UCLA has told me. He's undersized but is fiesty and has a nonstop motor and is really explosive. I don't think we're in a great position to be too picky right now...

Actually, now that I double checked, he did get dropped down quite a bit from where he was earlier this year. His rankings now seem pretty accurate. I hope he's as good as some people say considering he's from my school.

Really interesting what Moseley says about the Ducks' scholarship players.

He says they have never been at the 85 scholarship limit during Kelly's time at the program.

Not sure what that means, exactly. But it looks like they want to load up on a couple late comers. I would assume that they would be JCs, someone like Thompkins, and for sure an unsigned JC DL player.

Speaking of unsigned players, I've been scanning the scout website and noticed an LOI hasn't been received for DE Happy Iona. What's the news with him, I see we didn't even offer according to scout. Is it grade issues for him also? I'd love to steal one from the Beavs.

The word is he won't qualify. Ditto for Broussard.

Interesting "news" on Thompkins: http://blog.oregonlive.com/ducks/2010/0 ... pkins.html

Could be a real possibility with the mutual interest and the Ducks seemingly not having taken an outside wr yet.

It would be sweet to pick up Thompkins talent, I'm not gonna lie...

I also just saw that Shane Pennix didn't sign with anyone, I wonder if this is because of grades.

I don't think Eric Dungey needs a scholarship. I mean his dad is pretty loaded.

Two years in a row picking up the top JC WR wouldn't be bad.

Yeah, as long as we don't have to go through that crap again like we did with Gaines.
