Ducks Attack Message Board Forum

I still think we take one more wide receiver in this class. As much as I like as I like BJ Kelley, I'm really hoping for Hakeem Flowers. I assumed that Flowers was pretty much a Michigan lock, but with Rich Rod gone, Oregon may have a decent shot. Flowers would be a great fit for this team because he's a possession receiver with great hands. Both Flowers and Kelley are set to visit sometime this month.

For sure we take one more WR. Blackmon has evidently been an Oregon verbal for some time. And we are still recruiting Kelley, Lee Story and others.

We have like 18 or 19 verbals already. I think we prolly take five more guys, but what do i know?


Two more DTs from Latu, McReynolds, Simmons and Heyward.

One more WR from Kelley Lee Story Flowers

Lyerla

One more OLB from Dawson and B. Jackson

anyone think different?

I think we have a great shot at Simmons. McReynolds really likes UCLA - hopefully he has a good OV at Oregon. Oregon has a good shot at Heyward, though USC may be leading.

Don't think Story is still in play.

Colt is a tossup. If he's set on playing defense, then he's USC bound.

Dawson is likely going to Kentucky. Jackson will probably follow Simmons (unless Simmons goes to Florida).

Koa Ka'ai is still in play for Oregon. He'd be a huge addition.

I think we might be done at receiver. Story was never extended an offer.... and I think BJ Kelly's spot might be dependent on how we finish out this class. There's still several recruits on the board for only a handful of spots.

WRs:

BJ Kelley is set to visit on the 14th. Unless Blackmon's commitment changes things for Kelley then he should be here on the 14th and likely will commit. I for one do NOT think DB's verbal changes things (re our staff's plans) w/Kelley as many feel the former has been a silent to us for a while.

Story: it's been confirmed that he does NOT have an offer from us, but that doesn't mean a lot. He could still end up a Duck, but odds are better for him to stay in the south or opt for Ohio St as he's tripping there in the next few wks.

Flowers: he is NOT set to visit us this month as the OP stated. A lot would have to occur for Hakeem to end up a Duck. The most we'll take is 4 + an ATH type like Lee who could end up at WR. The fact that Kelley has a confirmed trip lined up (and likely offer) and Flowers doesn't tells a lot.

Lee: appears to be coming down to us vs USC. He's supposed to be tripping there on the 14th and we know a ton of pressure will be applied to get him in. Not counting on Lee being a Duck, but it's still considered 50-50. He would be icing on the cake IMO

Is USC recruiting Lee strictly as a DB? or are they offering him as a WR as well?

Let me clarify that - Flowers is trying to set up a visit this month. He wants to visit UCLA and Oregon. Unless the coaches turn him away, he'll probably visit.

Flowers does not make Oregon trip

WR Hakeem Flowers (6-3 189) of Wade Hampton was scheduled to visit Oregon this past weekend but did not make the trip. "I had to go to the Carolina Panthers game this Sunday to be recognized for the 'USA versus The World' game," said Flowers. "I'm going to go in January, I think." Flowers says his only other visit will be to UCLA. He received visits from Michigan, Michigan State, and NC State last week but says he will not visit those schools. "I have already visited Michigan," he said, "but I don't think I'll go to Michigan State of NC State for visits." Flowers said he does not have a favorite.

Flowers apparently does not have a committable offer from LSU and GT fans think that they are done at WR. That would leave Michigan (fired their coach), UCLA (fired their WR coach, Chow is on thin ice) and Oregon. The coaches have been out to South Carolina twice (Chip once) to visit with Flowers. I'd be surprised if Oregon just drops him at this point. The guy is going to be a great possession receiver.

They are offering him as a safety. Cal is recruiting him as an athlete.

For sure Blackmon was considered a verbal by the coaches for some time. probably ever since his visit or soon after.

And we have been recruiting WRs still, so that means we are prolly taking one more, as i stated before.

I'm betting it comes down to Kelley or Lee.

One issue with this is that Lee won't be deciding until the end of the month, while Kelley will be tripping mid month. Do the coaches extend an unconditional offer to Kelley on his visit? Or do they wait on Lee?

With three receivers already in the fold, I think you gamble on getting the better player.

Yeah I think you're probably correct.

Besides, we really need help on the Dline, and it's important to make sure we come away with 2 DTs, a DE and one hybrid DE in this class.

I think they already got one hybrid DE in French since I don't see him ending up on offense and he has the the speed to play DE/LB.

You may be right but we're still recruiting Lamar Dawson hard and he's a Kenny Rowe type i think

Justin Hopkins on 247 told me we are done with Flowers. Scout had a recent article on Kelley, and he's unsure if he'll even visit Oregon. IMO he's ASU or Utah bound. Lee is still in play, it's either USC or Oregon. Lee is being recruited as an athlete (WR or Safety).

Thanks for the info. Disappointing that we're not after Flowers anymore.

I've heard that the coaching staff hasn't kept in contact with Anthony Denham either. It sounds like it's Lee or bust at WR.

They must be preserving the remaining spots for d-linemen and Lyerla.
Recruits that Oregon is still after:
-Delvon Simmons- down to Oregon, Florida, and Texas Tech. Isn't committing on Saturday anymore.
-Branden Jackson- down to Michigan St., Iowa, Oregon, and Texas Tech. Wants to visit Michigan St. before committing. Could end up at MSU, if Simmons goes to Florida.
-Kevin McReynolds- down to Arkansas, UCLA, and Oregon imo.
-Koa Ka'ai- Oregon and Nebraska appear to be his favorites
-Marqise Lee- still think he ends up at USC, since Farmer is his best friend.
-Lamar Dawson- likely going to Kentucky

I wonder if guys like Isiah Norton and Mo Latu come back into play if Oregon strikes out on Simmons.

And it sounded like coach Neal really wanted him as a DB......

I think we're set at WR
