Linebacker Rahim Cassell (Lakewood, Calif./Lakewood) took his first official visit of the year to Oregon this past weekend and the Ducks are at the top of his board.
"Oregon is legit, it's a great place," Cassell said. "I had a great time and I was definitely tempted to commit, while I was there. I didn't want to make an emotional decision though so I told myself no matter what, I didn't want to commit on the visit.
"The trip stood out for a lot of reasons but the people I met really made the difference. The level of hospitality I was shown was incredible. That's what everyone said about Oregon before I got there, what a family atmosphere it is there and I definitely felt that. I love how the team plays, the game atmosphere, the coaching staff, basically everything about the place was perfect, I had no complaints at all."
Cassell has a visit this coming weekend to see Arizona State, as well as dates set with Boise State and Cal later in the year.
"At this point, I'm still planning to take the visits," Cassell said. "I still want to evaluate all my options to make sure I'm making the right decision. I committed to Florida too early before I checked out other schools so I don't want to make that mistake again. Oregon was great though and if I feel ready, I could commit without taking the rest of my trips."
