We're not recruiting him any longer. I believe because of grades.

Ok, so after a little research it looks like he's down to UO, ASU, and Utah. Yahoo is reporting that someone has emerged as a leader but won't the info away for free. It looks like he has a visit scheduled for the 28th with Utah so I'm thinking they may be the leader Yahoo mentioned. But over on a Utah board they seemed to be under the impression he was a long shot, so who knows.

Personally, I'd like to get him over Byers or McReynolds because of his strength, size, and general athleticism. Plus he's a pretty versatile prospect who could help out on either line.

I think he is a really big back-up plan for Oregon since getting him would mean Oregon struck out on a lot of the remaining names out there. He looks like a nice prospect that Oregon would take most years, but just misses out due to the depth of talent interested in Oregon this year.

Regardless of that Yahoo article, the Ducks have stopped recruiting him. The main issue is his grades and not qualifying.

^^^ A DT with qualifying issues? Sounds like our type of guy!

More like a Coach Gray guy than an Azz guy.

Good player, but I'd be shocked if he qualified. From everything I've heard, he has prop 48 written all over him. There's a good chance that he'll end up at Hawaii, New Mexico, or some other MWC school.
