UO didn't even make his top 10, both his parents are UW alum.

WR's dont want to go to Oregon because their primary role is blocking. Until Oregon can show that they can make more recievers NFL bound we're going to have to keep hoping we can find guys under the radar that develope well.

Having a QB who didn't have the best passing skills really limited what Oregon could do. Oregon depended on the run due to this weakness so I would suspect with a QB like Costa or Thomas back there, the passing will pick up a little.

I bet Chip is saying that exact thing to WR's. Maybe not in those words but I'm sure he is letting them know the ball will be in the air more!

WHat he said

I don't know what he may be telling him but we haven't got a big WR recruit in my recent memory. The ones with all the potential seem to never play. JM has turned out to be golden but he wasn't highly touted out of high school. I'm just hinking until people actually see Oregon put up some good numbers in the passing department top notch WR are going to be looking at other programs as their stepping stones to the NFL.

No top WR will go to a program that hasn't at least put someone in the NFL at that position in several years or has a legitimate passing attack. Georgia Tech, even with their triple option that incorporates the occasional, got a WR to be a 1st round draft pick.

Sammy Parker, Demetrius Williams, Jordan Kent all played/ play in the NFL. Diante Jackson and Tyrece Gaines were very highly sought after WR.. maybe if you keep saying good WR don't want to come here, some will believe you and not come here. I assume some recruits read this board especially, because it is free.......????

Add DJ Davis to recent 4 star recruits and Cantu was an Army All-American.

Davis apparently is now fully recovered from his ACL repair as he had a huge improvement in 40 speed over last year and in fact had the fastest electronic 40 (sans LMJ) in winter conditioning.

The one WR I know that Oregon has a shot with is Devon Blackmon. He is apparently pretty high on Oregon, though some people I know down here think that he's going to end up at USC.

Can anyone tell me anymore about Richard Rodgers, Devin Lucien and Rahsaan Vaughn. All three of these guys intrigue me and seem like a possibility to play receiver for the Ducks.

I know we are supposedly in Rodgers top five, but where does Boston College stand with him?

Devin Lucien has intrigued me since the last recruiting cycle, but as far as I know doesn't have an offer yet. Does anyone know why?

And Vaughn is a name that came up recently, but him being a Juco receiver is enticing if he can step in play right away in 2011.
