    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.
    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

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

    Also puts Oregon at 5 receivers, 6 with Nacua.

    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
