    Potentially good news for fans of Washington/Utah/UCLA/Dumpster watching Puka: Oregon signed another WR.

    Three star out of Miami. One of the world's top youth sprinters. Had PRs that would make him one of the top guys in the Pac-12 from 100-400: https://www.miamiherald.com/sports/high-school/prep-recruiting/article225561920.html

    As a delicious bonus: has previously been arrested for being part of car theft ring, and for shoplifting. With Jalen Hall's unfortunate departure and incarceration we really needed someone to spice it up.

    You mean Oregon signed a track guy. Odds are he will never play a snap of football.

    So that puts you at 27 commits, 26 if the center takes his mission as expected. How many can Oregon take?

    Also puts Oregon at 5 receivers, 6 with Nacua.

    Grasping. He's a T&F guy, and based on the fact that Oregon T&F is tweeting about it and nothing from the football account (which tweets all of the football LOIs as they come in), he'll be a track guy on a track scholarship.

    He also signed back in December, so it's not like this is a new development...

    Okay that makes more sense if I'm Oregon. But it sounds like the kid's expecting to play football, and if he does he'll have to be on FB scholarship. Unless he's going to wait until his junior year to try out or something.

    And he also liked the fact that Oregon and former FIU head football coach Mario Cristobal green lighted him as far as allowing him to run track in addition to playing football for the Ducks.

    Well damn I'm not the one who posted about it. Good to know.

    USC taking 5 WR's didn't bother him, he's going to Oregon

    I still think there's a good chance once the dust settles he's a dawg

    I think it's primarily a track guy, but the article says Cristobal was his recruiter. He might show up and if he's good they'll change him to a football schollie. There are also odds that he gets arrested before he can get to Eugene.

    Pretty funny we cut a kid for trying to take a boot off his car, but we'll gladly take the one who used to go to the airport to steal rental cars.

    Disagree. I stayed positive for a long damn through the Turner flip. But Nacua only looked like ours for like 48 hours, shifting away from that so quickly doesn't suggest somebody who really wants to come here IMO. The fact Pete never got an in home with him (or did?) doesn't bode well either.

    He gone.

    It’s Florida, that’s just a slap on the wrist

    Are you sure it didnt bother him? Because he didn't sign with them.

    Oregon track standards < Oregon football. We know the sports we actually have a shot to win titles in (Track). I'm sure UW's crew team is filled with rapists.

    Not a good sign if they're trying to break Neu's record of 7 WR in a single class

    In defense of Neu, that class gave us @SonnyShackelford! You can't put a price tag on the value of 500 posts in 5 years!

    he's not signing with USC so we're competing against 2 teams that just started recruiting him and he literally visited 3 days ago. Pressure is on him and he may just be waiting for it out a bit. it's possible the situation took a complete 180 yes and he signs with oregon, but I doubt it
