His top 5 haven't changed, he's just ruled out all other schools.

He will be taking an official to Michigan this week to see them against Iowa.

He will also take officials to LSU, Georgia Tech, UCLA, and Oregon.

Info is from Justin at 247sports.

------------------
Flowers is one of my favorite Oregon targets out there. He's "only" a 3 star recruit, but I think his offers speak for themselves (Miami, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Notre Dame, etc.) Flowers has tremendous hands and could play immediately at Oregon. He would be an excellent replacement for Jeff Maehl (a steady possession who will catch almost anything thrown his way).

I'm pretty nervous about his visit to Michigan. Apparently, Avery Walls and Flowers are very close and Walls told Flowers that he had a great time in Ann Arbor.

Other WR's that Oregon is recruiting:
Devin Lucien- I mentioned him a while ago. About a month ago, he was pretty high on Oregon and was waiting for an offer. Last week, he received an offer from Arizona State. He's high on ASU. He also holds offers from Air Force, Colorado, Illinois, and Oregon State.

B.J. Kelley- previously had Oregon, Northwestern, and Cal (no offer) as his top three. Recently, he visited Arizona and now has Arizona and Oregon in his top two. I really thought that Kelley was an Oregon lock, but apparently he had a great visit in Tucson.

I really don't understand the obsession with Arizona. It's not like they have had a great program over the last decade. I also think Oregon's campus and facilities blow away Arizona. Kelley must have seen some women enjoying the sun there or something.

It's truly amazing how Oregon is unable to pull in top 10 WRs, but is able to pull in top 10 players at basically any other position. Personally, I consider Hakeem as a top 10 WR. That list of offers is just nasty.

But really we haven't had a big WR commit since Cameron Colvin.

Tacoi Sumler?

D.J. Davis was also fairly highly recruited.

MY head automatically defaults to scout rankings just because their database is the easiest to work through. And pretty sure both DJ and Tacoi were four star recruits but like in the 30s or 40s in terms of their WR ranking. Which is funny because I'd label scout's database as the least accurate.

Even by Rivals though, Sumler is only the #21 recruit because he's undersized.

For Flowers, there's little to see wrong.

He has good size, he has a ridiculous offer list, he has a good GPA, he has amazing hands from what I've been told, and he has great game speed.

We have the least desirable offense for a wide receiver who has NFL aspirations.

With DT at the helm, our offense looks more appealing to WRs and TEs since it's more diversified than with Masoli. We may not see it in this year's recruiting class, but we will more than likely in the next couple (2012 and 2013).

no not really

They're the same basic passing plays that we've had since Chip took over. He just completes more of them.

If anything, it could be that DT just looks more comfortable waiting for options to open up instead of just taking off as soon as the first option isn't open.

Right, which is why Oregon would become more desirable. The more looks the receivers get, the more desirable the program becomes.

maybe for some....... but our passing game is very vanilla and doesn't translate to the pros very well.

Ummm Diante Jackson was a top 10 wr wasnt he? If he wasnt he was highly sought after.

His highest position ranking was 37 from scout.

And if Rivals is correct he didn't have any Californian school offers..... so I wouldn't say he was "highly" sought after.

Flowers on the other hand...... is very highly sought after.
