Ducks Attack Message Board Forum

Sounds like he had a great day, and for those who questioned his 4.52 last year, he topped it running at 4.44 or faster on 3 different watches including a 4.32 hand timed. He's probably a 4.5 40 laser time, but that's more than fast enough for a QB. Kid sounds a lot like this years Bennett, and don't be surprised if he ends up a 4* by signing day. Also he weighed in a 190, and threw the ball 70 yards, all in all he has great numbers.

That team seems to have some decent speed, and a SPARQ coach to help develop it.

Just let Radcliffe get a hold of him and watch him improve his speed, strength, and weight. Mariota could turn out to be a decent pickup if he keeps up his impressive summer workouts and sparkles his SR year.

Just another example of Chip's ability to find great players. Kid sounds like a player, and a much better one than any of us thought.

I saw enough on his video that I knew this kid could be another great QB at Oregon. My biggest concern is he's probably going to blow up this season and I hope teams like Florida, Notre Dame, etc. get their QB's wrapped up early. If they offer, it could get dicey.

Starting to make sense why we recruiting this kid. He has Dixon type speed.

Your telling me that a collegiate coach can evaluate a players talent better than us fine folks here on this forum? That is a novel concept. You might be on to something. Haha

Who knew that coaches can actually do their jobs?

I think I will have to wait and see if this nonsense bears out....

BTW..just saw my new title Thanks TK!

Obviously this is just a fluke. Chip can keep his great ability to evaluate talent, I'm sticking to scout's star ratings.

Fetters, who was on hand at the combine, has indicated that Mariota will be ranked the #2 prospect out of Hawaii, and will be moving up in rankings after the combine.

I had to give you some sort of award! I suppose that'll suffice for now haha, no problem.
