Ducks Attack Message Board Forum

With so many guys at 3 star and above, it is difficult to call any of them real sleepers. But who are you most excited about that did not get the constant discussion and speculation on this board?

Mine is Derrick Malone. Big kid, I know the program he comes from and they play some good football.

Disclaimer- I only know what I read on this board, which really is not enough to make a judgment, but so what. Also, pretty much every time I pick a kid on a hunch like this I am wrong. So sorry if I jinxed you Derrick.

Dungy

He reminds me of Boyett from watching his film. Has a nose for the ball. Seems to always be in position to make a play. Good fundamentals. Reads offenses well.

2 many DB's in this class to call one of them.

My "hope" is Remington! I sure do hope that he can step in and provide a spark on the D-Line!!!

I think you made a good pick with Malone because he is versatile. He looks like he has the frame to fill out and be an inside LB ala Paysinger. As a Safety now he could play the SAM (hybrid Safety/Linebacker), He could play a Taylor Mays style free Safety (I hope not though, I thought Mays was a crappy coverage guy, I like a free Safety with CB coverage skills). Or now that Chip has seen his running back skills on film he might poach him as a Thunder back.

Washington, Malone

Derrick Malone was my pick as well, i think he will end up playing LB after he puts on some weight.

I know Dontae Williams isn't really a sleeper. But I think he has the potential to be the best pro out of all our running backs. As for under the radar, I have to say Malone as well. I just think a kid with that type of body and speed will be hard to keep off the field.

Again, not a sleeper, but I think Nick Rowland is going to make a big impact.

Dixon. Big, fast kid who can fly around and wreak havoc. I've got a good feeling about him.

I know he's a 4 star guy but I think Erick Dargan. He seems quick big and aggressive and good in coverage. He just went very under the radar in the whole recruiting cycle IMO. I also think Washington has a lot of potential

I'm going with Dungy as long as we play him at safety...You can see him knowing whats going on before it happens...That's what great safety's do...They have an inherent sense to recognize things

Dungy as well. Oregon always has a way underrated defensive back that turns into a complete stud.

However, I want Scales to succeed the most just to show the rest of the NC guys what could have been.

Tony Dungy...... he is going to be a great DC!!!!!

I can dream can't I?

I'm going with Scales for no other reason than karma. His friends seemed to like to play games and he held true to his word. Welcome aboard! You'll love being a Duck.

I wonder what any of those other schools that were in it for the package deal would have done if they ended up not getting the higher rated players? Would they have pulled the offer for Scales or would they have done what the Ducks did and honor their commitment to him. And was Scales offer originally put in place for the purpose of acquiring the other players or did Kelly see something in him? I think it may have been a combination of both to begin with but I am happy they didn't pull his offer after the whole mess with King and McCain.
