5* LB Wallace enjoyed his visit to USC

Anyone want to summarize the article? Is it just the usual "I had a good time" trip report or did the Trojans really leave a good impression on him?

Per Chris Courtney of Scout, Wallace will take his remaining officials to Arkansas, Ohio State and Oklahoma. That's a pretty tough list of competition for his services.

Another tidbit from Twitter...

"Scout.com's Mark Marion says Dallas (TX) Skyline 5* LB Anthony Wallace had a "great" visit to USC, but Oregon remains his #1 school."

If we're still his #1 team then I'm not too worried. As long as we keep doing what we're doing we'll stay his top team & eventually get his signature on a LOI.

A few years ago, Oregon would have had no chance with someone like Wallace. Now, I expect the ducks to get him.

Only trip that could worry me is his possible Ohio St. visit, but everything still looks like he'll be a Duck even after all his visits are done.

With Bryson Littlejohn and Casey both being seniors, Wallace could start as a true freshman, if not redshirt and start as a redshirt freshman. Would be a huge get. Oregon hasn't had a dominating middle linebacker since the days of Peter Sirmon and Matt Smith. Wallace looks like he could be better than those two, if he has the smarts to learn how to read defenses, as he is just as big, and faster.

I doubt that Wallace would start since we have BoLo, Clay, and Kaddu as our most likely starters. Wallace would probably provide some depth there and see some time like Clay did last year in spelling certain LBs.

Regardless of talent.... I would think it would be pretty tough being a first year starter in our defense. He would probably have to get here in the spring to have a shot at it.

What makes you say that? We've gotten a few 5-stars before

I'm just showing how far the program has come. It's now expected that Oregon land players like this. It wasn't expected a few years ago.

Outside of Haloti Ngatta....... Cliff Harris is the highest rated defensive player that I can think of.
