Sounds like he is announcing tonight, anyone know what the chances are he picks the ducks? Would we take him and Kelley?

He never ended up coming here on an official visit, unfortunately. Flowers was considered a Michigan lean, but now it sounds like NC State is the team to beat. I don't even know if he has a committable offer from Michigan anymore. If the coaches had been able to get him out here on a visit, I think he would have ended up at Oregon.
Flowers was one of my favorite recruits in this class. Good size, great hands, solid student. I think he's going to end up being a very good possession receiver.

I think the only way Oregon takes 2 more WR is if Lee and Kelley both come here. With Lee more than likely going to SC, Kelley is the probably the last WR that's going to be in this class.

According to more & more folks out there, Flowers may be a creation of his own marketing. He didn't even get offered by schools in his own backyard such as Clem, USC, UG, GT. Michigan might not be in the picture right now and some are saying his offer from NC St is iffy. Our coaches canceled his original trip scheduled here for Dec. and moved on. Kelley is the way better prospect and is likely bringing to a close our excellent WR class as we speak.

This. I'd love to have Flowers, he has great hands, but no visit means no chance.

Looks like we have Kelley on board so no big deal.

Flowers is a good example of a kid who waited too long to commit. Hoke at Michigan apparently pulled Flowers' offer, deciding that he didn't want to take any WR's in this class. LSU and Georgia Tech were full at WR. Flowers missed the boat at Oregon when he didn't make his originally scheduled visit in December. At that point, I think the coaches decided to go with the "sure thing" commit in B.J. Kelley.
It sounds like Pittsburgh and NC State were his only committable offers and he hadn't visited Pitt. I think that Flowers is going to be a very solid and reliable WR at NC State. Nice pickup for them.

Which is why you see more and more early commits every year. Sucks for everyone else, because like you said I also think Flowers will be a great college WR.
