Oregon in the mix for 5 star QB, #1 Recruit of 2020 class

oregonblitzkrieg

The Oregon Ducks football program has a long history of success at the quarterback position, producing Norm Van Brocklin, Dan Fouts, Akili Smith, Joey Harrington, Dennis Dixon, Marcus Mariota, Justin Herbert and many more.

But throughout their storied quarterback history, the Ducks have never signed a five-star prospect at the position.
In the class of 2020, Oregon will hope to change that, as it is heavily in the mix for consensus five-star quarterback D.J. Uiagalelei, who is rated the nation's No. 1 overall prospect by Rivals.

The 6-foot-4, 235-pound passer, out of St. John Bosco High School (Bellflower, California), has made a handful of trips to Eugene in the past few years, but is set for a return this weekend for Oregon's big showdown against Stanford.

As long as Arroyo is still there the Ducks will land this kid. He is already down to two schools and his parents strongly favor Oregon.

But in all seriousness, USC might not have a head coach at the time he decides.

How much are we paying Big Pimpin' Dave? Exactly the kind of dad I want around the program. Hands on, shady, riding his sons to financial gain, got super butthurt when USC gave their money to Bryce Young's family.

Big Pimpin' Dave will probably take our money for the LOI and then want his kid closer to home in Tuscaloosa, Clemson, or Auburn. Or he'll sell him to MLB.

SC threw in the towel in 2009.

Damn. Fingers on the pulse.

I get the impression that he is intrigued by the Mariota history but at the end of the day he will go baseball and try football like Kyler Murray of Oklahoma.

Oregon or usc who knows. With usc in disarray and daniels there plus the other qb commit, Oregon appears to be a possible choice.

Meek

is he attending the Stanford game so he gets a first hand observation of a QB reacting to plunger insertion?

A hat on the table would be special!

It worked for Auburn. Axe them if they would return Cam Newton for a refund.

I wonder how much it would take to arrange for a recruit to be #1, really?
