Ducks Attack Message Board Forum

Just cruising around the different sites and they were saying on rivals "looks like Christmas came early" talking about Farmer. DAM!! Thought we might have had a good shot.

If true, at least it's to USC and not to Cal. Oh well..

no surprise

Huge pickup for USC, but this was expected. Now hopefully the coaches will finally return B.J. Kelley's calls.

Lol. Those Farmer to Cal rumors were completely bogus. Farmer had a terrible trip to Cal. I think most people are assuming that Lee will also follow Farmer to USC.

I don't think Farmer was the reason we are putting a hold on Kelley. I think it has more to do this Story and maybe some other WRs.

I think it may have more to do with Hakeem Flowers, but Flowers is by no means a lock. Flowers is one of my favorite recruits, so I'd be thrilled if he came to Oregon. I don't know if I really want a guy with Story's checkered past on this team. He seems like a better fit with Florida.

Yeah actually, Flowers may very well be blocking Kelley right now. And like you said, Flowers is one of my favorites recruits as well. He still has four of his 5 visits to take though, so we are going to have to wait for signing day IMO for Flowers. Not a great position for Kelley to be in. Tough luck.

pure speculation on my part, but I think with Bigelow going to Cal, Kelley will go there as well.

I'm really hoping we can get Blackmon and Flowers to go along with Sumler. That would be a full class for Receivers to be sure.

Utah has made push at Kelley, he's visiting there this weekend.

I don't think Kelley is going to be a duck.

Seem we are not getting Serra trios and Kelley? well, we need good WR to replace Mahel and Davis.

1. Sumler- hopefully he stays committed
2. Blackmon- you never know with Cal. One of our most important recruits.
3. Vaughn- seems like he's Oregon bound. Will contribute immediately.

Then it gets a little dicey
1. Anthony Denham- another JC receiver - 6'6, good speed, from Los Angeles. Just visited Ole Miss and had a great trip. Said he wants to visit Oregon and Arizona before he commits.
2. Hakeem Flowers- one of my favorite prospects. Had an excellent visit at Michigan (which is where I think he'll end up) and has been to Georgia Tech on an unofficial. He's visiting Oregon next weekend. Let's hope that he has a great visit and commits on the spot (probably not very likely).
3. Devin Lucien- A DJ Davis type - great hands, good speed, excellent blocker. Really missed the boat here. He would committed had Oregon offered. Will likely end up at Michigan or UCLA.
4. Ja'Juan Story- big time WR from Florida (current Florida commit). Questionable character, mediocre grades and test scores (2.6/17). I'd pass. He's a better fit with an SEC program.
5. BJ Kelley- sounds like he's out of the picture. I'm sure he'd love to play at Cal with his buddy, but I don't think they're gonna offer him. Probably ends up at ASU.

I personally think we should take 5 receivers.

What a shocker.

It really sucks that Oregon has struck out on so many WRs in past years that it makes them even more important for this class. Usually you have players already in the program who can replace SRs, but this team doesn't have any really. They are going to have to hope that those they get can all contribute soon as first year players.

Dont sweat it Duck fans..Signing day is a long way off..And there is yet another game to play...Yeah, I mean on the Big Stage..Bring home a NC and one might be surprised who might be headed to Eugene...This year AND next year...
