Scscsc89 Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 USC offers preferred walk-on status to kicker Alex Stradhaus, which sounds like something you get from an airlines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Former top 10 recruit, from what I'm told his Sr year wasn't as great, because his home life was really crappy. He ended up moving out to get away from that situatio and transferring schools. Due to that move though, money has been tight for him, and his nutrition dropped as did his production. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrBug708 Posted January 27, 2018 Author Share Posted January 27, 2018 I think his biggest knock is that he isn't a grinder, not a guy that really pushes himself. He transferred from Hawkins high because they got hit with scandal at the high school level, they had the best city team in years and everyone basically transferred because of what happened. In multiple years, they've had to forfeit games. This Oregon WR class kind of reminds me of their 2011 WR class that was also highly regarded of BJ Kelly, Blackmon, Sumler and Vaughn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RogueDuck Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 Kelly was a 3*, Sumler was a 5'8 wr will superb speed but not great hands who people hoped would learn to catch. Blackmon was a QB who again people hoped could become a WR, and did at BYU, but at UO he wouldnt block. Kelly doesnt play WR who cant block. And Vaughn was just a mess off the field. But your way of saying you think UO WR will all be bust is noted, but I'd bet any of them would have had more than 700yds vs Oregon HS talent which is what Cota had.

That might be, I guess we'll find out in the fall. But right now Mario has seemed to make all the right moves hiring wise. For the first time in a long time I love the direction of the weight program, which had been lacking since Bellotti left, and honestly I thought they should have added more real strength training years before he left. Plyo is cool, but you need both, and that' why Auburn and LSU made up look weak when we met on the field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrBug708 Posted January 27, 2018 Author Share Posted January 27, 2018 I think every program that makes a change always loves the new S&C program. We had a terrible one under Rick and then with mora we hired a disgraced NFL guy and we were killing it and near the end, it looked sad and people hated the program Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrBug708 Posted January 27, 2018 Author Share Posted January 27, 2018 And since we are talking about it, I'll rank my opinion of the Ducks guys that they are recruiting 1. Devon Williams - Great Athlete, should be the best player for you guys for the next 4-5 years. 2. Isaiah Crocker - i think he's the whole package as a WR 3. Micahel Ezeike - Hes' going to be a TE no matter where he goes, but he's the only guy who doesn't know it yet. 4. Miles Battle - He's going to learn to play better with his height, but he's probably underrated 5. Jalen Hall - See previous thoughts. You just can't coach up desire the same way you can other traits. It's possible he will get it together, just not a fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrBug708 Posted January 28, 2018 Author Share Posted January 28, 2018 1s1waEh, the reason for the move wasn't crappy home life like Rogue said, you are just piggy backing onto his comments. My comments about him not being a grinder come from the people who do that for a living, not my own analysis, hate to disappoint you. Glad you at least read the rest of the thread and didn't freak out any further about my comments, which talked about WR's that I liked for Oregon...haha Someone tell Greg Biggins to stop shitting on Oregon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrBug708 Posted January 28, 2018 Author Share Posted January 28, 2018 3* DB, Elisha Guidry commits to UCLA. He's the younger brother of Javelin Gudiry, a Utah freshman and a guy UCLA couldn't be bothered to recruit. Elisha isn't as good as Javelin unfortunately, but has some pretty good speed. Elisha is the son of Javelin Guidry, a UCLA football player in the early 90s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrBug708 Posted January 28, 2018 Author Share Posted January 28, 2018 All of the 247 and Scout sites have merged. You can still find the boards separate, but I have a feeling they will blend into one message board systems soon enough. From the little I read of AA, it's been an awful merger with fans ripping on each other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
