Ducks Attack Message Board Forum

Excerpt from 7/13 Story & Interview

"Speed kills, and I have it," says South Florida prep wide receiver Tacoi Sumler. As a result, Sumler (WR/2011) has watched his offer list grow significantly this summer. Sumler currently holds offers from 26 schools, including, Oregon, Clemson, Stanford, South Carolina, Florida State, Tennessee, West Virginia and several other universities. After running a 4.33 forty at the National Underclass Combine last year, Sumler shattered that time when he ran a 4.24 earlier this summer.

Opponents are already intimidated by the overall team speed of Oregon. We need Tacoi for his speed and because he plays WR.

Imagine being a safety against our offense if we can get Tacoi and get him onto the field early...

Speed to burn down the sideline @ wr w/ Lowe, Sumler, and hopefully others that you'll often need to account for to give help over the top. A dominant and confusing running attack that you have to pay attention to in the backfield, and big, fast, strong, and athletic TEs stretching the seam.

If you can somehow handle all of that, Chip's got a bazillion different options, bubble/wr screens, fly sweeps and trick plays to throw at you.

After that, you have to account for the fact that our offense is fast paced and, when rolling, sometimes completely no-huddle. Good luck handling all of those assignments while panting for air!

We could be SCARY SCARY good if things fall into place. It's a fun thought to think that we're dominating good teams and not even scratching the surface of the potential of this offense.

Sumler would be an outstanding pickup.

I love this part of the article:
Oregon also has positioned themselves well for 2011, and 3 out of their 7 commits are four-star prospects. That list includes 2010 Clarkson Super 7 quarterback Jerrard Randall (Chaminade-Madonna HS, FL), who hails from the same neck of the woods as the Florida speedster Sumler. "He (Randall) told me it's the place to be (Oregon)… He's one of the best QBs down South in my opinion," Sumler said in regards to Randall. The commitment of Randall may prove advantageous for the Ducks in their recruitment of Sumler.

Nice to see that Randall is recruiting other prospects in the Miami.

I am always worried about Stanford when it comes to excellent students like Sumler.

Oregon's motto is speed kills, I have a feeling Sumler is gonna end up in green and yellow.

I like our chance too with this kid...he's made for our offense!

CK will take full advantage of his skills and he knows it!

GO DUCKS!!

If we could land Sumler and George Atkinson (and at the moment those look like our last two realistic shots at landing a big time receiver) then add another solid guy like a Lucien, I would be more than happy about our WR recruiting.

Those 3 guys would really help shore up the WR depth chart for the future. It's odd that we haven't heard a lot about Lucien. He has the measurables for a D1 player and has a previous relationship with Bennett and Grasu. Maybe he's a little further down the recruiting list for the coaches at WR and will only get an offer once other players decide.
