What are your thoughts on the recruits? and have any more exceptional looking talent on the horizon for the Ducks?

They have him listed as line backer, but if you watch his tape he actually reminds me of Patrik Chung, hes got great closing speed, he hits like a truck, but hes also got great coverage skills. I think he might play safety for us.

Dontae Williams or Marcus Lattimore. Both It's hard to say which will be better on Saturdays in a Ducks uniform. From what I see Dontae will be a Duck and Marcus won't (cancelling a visit is never a good sign). One advantage with DW is that he's friends with Darron Thomas, so homesickness may be less of an issue and he may have a better idea of what life at Oregon is really like. From what I understand CK's policy is not to allow commits until the recruit has visited, in order to minimize the new trend of committing/uncomitting. Williams is supposed to visit for the USC game, so I imagine that we'll get his commit shortly after that. If Oregon keeps winning, and Lattimore decides to visit in the end, in theory we could still get him too. I think that Lattimore would be better as a true freshman, replacing Blount in the Thunder role. This might be attractive enough to bring him in. In the long run, who knows how these guys will really pan out, it really depends on their work ethic and attitude. I'm excited though, Ethan Grant has said he's still solid and adding Williams will make this quite the RB recruiting class!

Administrator Posts: 52 Group: Administrator Member #1 Joined: Oct 15, 2009	Although we are getting solid verbal commits, I still don't want to get my hopes up until the signing day is over. Im not saying these guys won't be Ducks, its just kind of earlier for final decisions. But I do wish we could get some bigger backs for the Ducks.

I believe Grasu, Grant and Bennett all commited prior to their visits, and i am not sure if Grant has taken his visit at all. I am sure if Uko or Lattimore commited, Kelly wouldn't turn them down. Nice pick-up of Coleman for 2011. He sounds kind of raw as a Safety as he is just learning the position at Lake Oswego, but obviously has huge upside and great size.
