Tuinei may be the best WR for us next year IMO. I like his build and abilities.

Wouldn't it be sweet if he could pull down those end zone lobs like Larry Fitzgerald? I'm not comparing nor have I taken the time to look at video. I'm just saying how awesome it would be.

Only Tuinei video I can find is this one. One TD catch.

Masoli to Tuinei has a nice ring to it.
It will be interesting to see if Tuinei and Jordan see the field at the same time.

Tuinei and Jordan on the field with Ed Dickson should be an awe inspiring threat to pass defenders everywhere... Send it high, and let the best reach win!

Considering this guy was a full qualifier with 4 years to play 3, I wouldn't mind seeing him redshirt. He would seem to have a ton of potential but the fact that he didn't have any offers after high school makes me think he could be a little raw. I don't want this guy to turn out to be another Marcus Maxwell.

But I wouldn't mind him turning out to be another Jeremiah Masoli.........

I'd rather have him grow into a JWill with hands like Samie Parker or Keenan Howry!

This kid and Keaton Arden are my two sleeper picks of this class. I like what both of them have to offer physically.
LT will be a legit threat for us.

I remember a few years ago when teams like as Wazzu started converting PFs to play WR... if the ball was high enough, nobody could covr these guys.
Hope this is the start of something 'big' for Oregon Football!
3 to play 4?
RS the kid so Coach Rad can beef him up!

It wasn't WSU, it was our worst nightmare Teo Johnson from Stanford. Hopefully LT will be a huge red zone threat.
