This is the weekend of his official visit, and Scout has a headline saying, "Hardrick Going Green"... Dated 1/14/11'

Hardrick is a 3*/6'3"/205 prospect, ranked as the #36 MLB prospect in the country. Rivals reports a 4.5/40.

ESPN is now reporting the commit, as well.

"Hardrick is a very athletic linebacker capable of getting around the football which results in steady production. Has the size and athleticism for the outside linebacker position at the major level of competition. Displays tough knock'em back tackling ability which should serve him well as a special team's player."

I would be shocked if he didn't affirm his commitment. He looks to be a steal of a LB since he wasn't rated very due to him missing most of his JR year with a knee injury. Sounds like SC was going to go after him, but after committing to Oregon, they stopped going after him hard.

Confirm

The visit is a formality. He's been a Duck for months.

Cool he looks great...I love that he gets around the ball and hits hard!

Welcome aboard Rodney!

Yeah, USC slow-played him for a long time, and when they were finally coming around to offer him UO had him (un-officially) locked-up. USC slow-played Heyward and Hobbi, and they would've came to USC if they weren't (same with Gibson). UO picked up a steal with Hadrick. He could be really good in a couple years.

Why is everyone so confident that this guy is a steal? You guys must be seeing something that most other coaches weren't seeing based off of his offer list.

His tape, stats, plus what other people who have seen him play AKA USC fans have said.

All that ^^ plus measurables. Missing his Junior year due to injury put him off the radar for most programs. In a year where recruiting Wide Receivers was a point of emphasis it is kind of remarkable that this linebacker prospect had some of the best receiving stats including 20 yards per catch, of the whole group.

This is a recruit with a higher ceiling than his star rating.

His major offers came from the two programs who have combined to win the last 11 strait conference titles and that's not good enough? Personally I don't care who else offered, that's good enough for me.
