Ducks Attack Message Board Forum

Anyone have the scoop?? Much appreciated!

In his update on Scout, Tacoi basically had glowing things to say about all of the West Coast schools he visited (USC, UCLA, Stanford, California, Oregon). He did say that Oregon's facilities impressed him the most though. Stanford and Oregon are the only schools of that group that have offered him thus far. Oregon and Cincinnati are the two schools recruiting him that hardest right now, according to him.

Undersized kid, but what a frig'n burner!!! Question is, does he have hands...?

I think he does, but if not, I think his speed could more than make up for that if he is used like Barner on sweeps.

Tacoi Sumler (Miami/Columbus) headed out West and checked out five Pac-10 schools, but one school stood out among the rest.

Sumler is one of the most explosive receivers in the South and a legitimate threat to score from anywhere on the field. With offers from schools all over the country, Sumler made the trek to the West Coast with rave reviews.

"I had a good time at all the schools I visited," Sumler said. "I checked out USC, UCLA, Stanford, Cal and Oregon. They were all nice but I really loved it at Oregon. That's the school that made the biggest impression on me and I really have a lot of interest in them.

"The facilities are incredible, I love the offense and the big-play potential I could be a part of there. I know I would fit in very well there on and off the field and they're definitely very high on my list."

Could Sumler make an early commitment?

"I don't know, I need more time to think about that," he said. "I have thought about that but even if I did, I would still want to do my visits. I might narrow my choices down, take my visits in the fall and then commit but like I said, I have to evaluate everything when I get back home."

Great quote...

"Sumler is one of the most explosive receivers in the South and a legitimate threat to score from anywhere on the field"

Thanks Boom...Sumler's big play potential sounds deadly in our offense and special teams!

GO DUCKS!!

That's crazyness. I don't think there's much doubt that he's one of the fastest football recruits in this class, if not the fastest.

Having that kind of speed on the outside and on sweeps would just be killer. Imagine having him on the outside with Lowe and Huff and James, Barner, or Seastrunk in the backfield.

Sounds good, but you better have an o-line that can block. NO way all those guys are on the field at once. Too small

Tim Tebow tries his hand at reporting

During the introductions of the 24 athletes who were going to test, Denver Broncos’ rookie Tim Tebow noticed that wide receiver Tacoi Sumler flashed a University of Oregon symbol while on stage.

“Hey, that where you are going to go?” Tebow asked. “You can commit right now if you want.”

“Nah, I think I’ll wait,” Sumler said. “But I do like the Oregon Ducks. They are my No. 1 choice right now.”

Sweet, Sumler and Randall ftw.

I just love that everyone, including Tebow, knows what the O handle symbol means.... That tells me that the Ducks and the UofO has arrived on the national scene. He didn't even have to mutter a word.

Speaking of the "O" sign, I've been thinking about something -- Completely off topic, BUT...

The two-handed "O" is LITERALLY how players are taught to catch a football, so it's actually a PART of the game.

With the new "you can have a TD taken away if you taunt or celebrate before or while you score a TD" rule, I'm wondering if we could get away with our sign, due to the fact that it's part of the game...

How sweet would it be to have, say, DJ Davis break free down the seam, catch a ball above his head and carry it that way into the endzone. Then, simply dropping the ball (after scoring of course) and already having the "O" showing!!! Makes me excited to think about! Totally random, I know, it'd be awesome to see!

They would probably still get him for it since they are going to be looking real hard for any type of celebration penalty.
