Ducks Attack Message Board Forum

We have 17-18 commits right now. So we have about 7-8 spots left.

A few notes:
-We only have 2 D-linemen commits right now. Expect us to take a few more in this class.
-Sounds like we are full at DB & LB (assuming Hardrick commits).
-We'll add one more O-lineman
-QB/RB are done
-WR, probably will add two more players. Blackmon + ?
-ATH There's still guys like Lee, Lyerla, etc., who don't really have a position now, but could play multiple positions. I expect us to add an athlete as well.

3-4 DL + 1 OL + 2 WR + 1-2 ATH = 7-9 commits

Players left on board:
DT Viliami Moala (From educk.com article, “I’m going to Oregon State next month and then my last trip, I think I’m going to go to Oregon,” said Moala.)
DT Christian Heyward (Oregon in his final 4, they will get his final official visit)
DT Delvon Simmons (Teammates with DE Branden Jackson. They have officially visited all of the same 4 colleges. I expect them to go to the same school.)
DT Kevin McReynolds (UO in his top 5, UO gets his final visit. UCLA and Arkansas are big threats.)
DT Danny Shelton (UO on top, Washington a close second. Will pick one of these schools.)
DE/ATH Colt Lyerla (Sounds like a UO vs USC battle)
DE/ATH Brandon Fulse (UO in his final 7 teams, sounds like a big long shot though)
DE Jeoffrey Pagan (Don't really know where Oregon stands with him, but we are 6 teams he's interested in)
DE Branden Jackson (Officially visited UO in November. Oregon looks good here.)

LB Leilon Willingham (Don't know anything on this guy, but apparently we've offered?)

OL Paulay Asiata (Plans to start lining up visits soon. Only one to UW so far)
OL Christian Westerman? (Visiting Auburn. Oregon could be a player)

WR Hakeem Flowers (Down to 5, UO will get an official visit most likely)
WR B.J. Kelley (Sounds like coaches may have passed on Kelley. I forgot what was going on here)
WR Devon Blackmon (UO leading, looks good for the Ducks)
WR Ja'Juan Story (Currently wrapping up a visit to UO, still could take more visits)
ATH/WR Marqise Lee (USC, UO, or Cal. One teammate went to USC, one went to Cal.)

I wouldn't be surprised to see someone not on that list be a commit since Oregon always seems to get a late commit from some out-of-leftfield recruit.

Definitely possible. Especially since a lot of recruits will decide during the all american games. If we miss out on a couple guys, then I'd expect us to get some plan B recruits that aren't on the list posted.

It would be really awesome though to land 2-3 of those defensive linemen on that list. All those guys are 4 stars or better.

I'm going with:

ATH Lyerla
ATH Lee
WR Blackmon
WR Story? Kelley? Flowers?
DT Shelton
DT McReynolds? Heyward?
+ 1 Surprise out of nowhere

vagus,
i might cry if we land all the players you're going with...although if we win the natty it's possible!

It sounds like there's still some question(s) about the Hardrick commitment, as well as Kyrie Wilson's academics. With that in mind, I would say we're definitely willing to take Lamar Dawson if he decides he wants to be a Duck.

Also, I don't think adding two more O linemen is entirely out of the question. They will not turn Westerman down if he wants to commit - and I think we have an excellent shot with him. That said I think it's unclear how much they are even after Asiata at this point.

QB and RB you're probably right about, but given the questions about Randall we could see a surprise between now and signing day.

At WR there's probably only one spot for either Story, Flowers, or Kelley, assuming Blackmon is on board. And if Lee were to commit, that probably wouldn't change.

It's difficult to speculate on the math... we have to figure that there's going to be some attrition we don't account for, and I think Colt and Tyson could very well end up as EEs.

Koa Koa'i?

If CK can pick up and close out the 2011 class with ANY of these 3 DT's: Moala, McReynolds or Shelton...I'd think that this 2011 Duck class would be the BEST recruiting class ever! I'm just all 's knowing that Moala is at least gonna possibly visit DUCK U after OSU. All we need from Moala is a visit....once he's on campus....it's over! Coach Azz will be on cloud 9 1/2 ! Can you imagine a DT rotation of: Keli'ikipi/Heimuli/Ebert/Stevens/Moala over the next few seasons ?......disgusting!!!!! WTD!!!!!

Hakeem Flowers was supposed to visit this weekend, but I haven't heard anything on that front.

Getting Westerman would huge. Asiata would also be a big pickup and I don't wanna see him go to UW.

At best, Branden Jackson looks like a partial qualifier and Pac 10 schools don't take PQ's. I see him going to Louisville if his grades/test scores haven't improved.

I would really like to see us pull a shocker and get Westerman. No way this offense gets stopped with a bunch of top level OL.

Moala sounds like a HUGE longshot, but if we get a visit then there's a chance I suppose.

Other than him, I think we have a terrific shot at McReynolds (UCLA and Maryland coaching changes HAVE to affect his decision - should come down to us and Arkansas), Heyward (UCLA coaching decisions again, I think he could be more interested than has been reported, like Ricky last year), and obviously we've got a great shot at Shelton as well. With Heyward's explosiveness, I could see the coaches bringing in all 3 (if it worked out that way) and using Heyward as a SDE some as well...

Also worth putting on the list is Tayo Fabuluje, seems like a really solid safety net if we do strike out on the above...

As far as the 'math' is concerned...

We've got several kids coming off major knee injuries and several others with suspect grades...

If we have the opportunity, I think we'll overbook this class by 4 or 5 guys.

You are correct about that and I agree we may overbook the class. But not too much, because next year we will have fewer scholarships to give, and I'd imagine that Kelly will build off this year's success for an even stronger class next year.


Does anyone have the inside info on the status of Hardrick, Garrick and Wilson????

There have been questions regarding these guys' verbals since day one and the information must be on one of the subscriber boards because everyone is talking about it but I haven't seen it elaborated here. Care to help me out?

From what's been said about those 3 so far, Hardrick is only a soft verbal until he visits in January and Garrick is a likely grayshirt due to a knee injury. I don't know anything about Wilson since nothing has been written or talked about him since his commitment.

What recruits have suspect grades? I've heard that Randall might, but I haven't heard anything about any of the others. In fact we have quit a few with offers from schools like Stanford, N'western ect so grades shouldn't be an issue for them.
