Interesting stuff. Football definitely runs in the family. Wonder if Oregon will try to recruit him.

He's got some very impressive accolades:

He looks great I wonder when we will offer this guy? Or are we after only bigger targets?

Would love to add Harper Jr!

I find it hard to believe the Ducks wouldn't take a long hard look at making more music with Harp 2.0.

[Phenom]

Why doesn't he have any offers? He looks like a big-time recruit...even winning MVP at one camp before his junior year. Is he slow?

Sorry, I copied it from a Scout site without proper diligence.

Solid highlights, reminds me a bit of the WR Johnson who we were recruited for this class (committed to Washington).

Any chance you guys could get an interview with him? I would be interested in knowing how much he is hearing from the Ducks, how much interest he has in the Ducks, etc.

If the rumor of Matthew joining the Ducks staff as a GA is true, he's got to have some interest.

Yeah we are trying.

There is a story today on scout about Harper.

Could be a Mother's Dream
"He also is the brother of a former Duck, Matt, who may be on the sidelines again for Oregon as a graduate assistant."

Anyone want to summarize the article?

Yeah, it sounds like there may be some truth to those Matthew Harper as GA rumors, although perhaps not yet a done deal. I would love to see Josh impress the Oregon coaches enough to garner an offer. I kinda get the feeling he could become a Brian Paysinger type player for the Ducks.
