Ducks Attack Message Board Forum

We've already offered 4 Arizona O-lineman, and there are even a couple other solid OL from Arizona that could get an offer down the road. I hope getting Rowland and Fox can

Westerman (Texas commit)

Yruretagoyena

Rowland last year was a great pick up, and I'd love to land Yruretagoyena and Johnstone.

Is Johnstone one of those under-the-radar type players who'll blossom once they hit a good system? Oregon seems to get a lot of OL like those and they seem to turn out fairly well.

I have yet to read any reports on him or watch any videso, but just looking at his specs he seems like a project with some potential. A 6'6" frame with only 260 pounds, he can fill up quickly and have the body to be a force at the Pac-10 level. He already has 3 Pac-10 offers, so that's good enough for me!

A 6'6" frame could easily support another 20-30 pounds without making him lose any quickness or speed. Oregon can afford to take a couple projects on the OL since the depth there is good enough to wait on a guy like Johnstone.

Or we can just get Yrury and Hobbi

I don't care who we get, but they more than likely won't be playing as true freshman due to the depth that has been built up through the last several years.

Yrury is one of the best OL west of the Mississippi. That would be a massive landing for this class. He will take visits first, so we just got to hope Kiffin or someone else doesn't brainwash him, because we are sitting on top right now according to scout.

If we could snag two studs in this class or a stud, a JC stud (w/a redshirt year) and a sleep like Asper that would be all we need at this point.

Nice to have a solid O-line pipeline going. In Rob's position review after spring ball i did a little projection of the 2-deep in 2011:

Weems, Burrell
York, Clanton
Armstrong, Grasu
Asper, Carmichael
Cody, Benyard

That doesn't even include Rowland who'll presumably be coming out of his redshirt year.

Little worried about center, but hopefully Grasu will already be a stud. Also, from what i remember from last year Kelly had all the freshman snapping all fall camp maybe that added some depth that we don't know about.

Also have to take into account that Hamani Stevens is coming back, at least he says he is.

Arizona is loaded for 2012 as well with Andrus Peat possibly being the #1 OT next year.

Here is a prediction; York will be moved to Center, Clanton and Asper will start at Guard, being from Arizona I am biased, Rowland for the 2011 season will be the first OG off the bench.

Welcome to c4q!

I'm assuming Andrus is related to Todd Peat:

Both Peat's are beasts, but I'm not sure if Todd has interest in the ducks.

The Peats will be visiting Eugene in late May or early June, they have family in Oregon and are visiting the state for a family function and will visit the Ducks while in the state.

Thanks for the info and welcome to the board!
