Ducks going hard after those "hidden gems" lol. They lose six lineman after this season and have to try to load up on "hidden gem" recruits to replace them. Must suck knowing UW can get this kid anytime they want. Not a lot of O-line talent in the state of Oregon this cycle. They have to come up here and try to take whatever scraps UW leaves behind.

Sure Ducks just can’t recruit and are in trouble. It will hurt losing 4 OL starters, there is no denying. Our best offensive lineman, one of the best in the nation, will still be there. Next year we will have three 4star offensive linemen. They got playing time last year when Sewell and one of our other starters were hurt. Actually a three star is as good or better than they are.

How could Oregon hope to evaluate OL with a head coach that won 2 National Championship playing OL for Miami and coached OL for Alabama is your head coach. What would he know about OL talent.😂

I’m sure the parents of this kid will be glad to know that a Husky fan referred to their son as a “scrap”.

Oh Dude you mean like All American Heisman Trophy winner 3 star Marcus Mariota who only had offers from Memphis and Oregon.

Yours is not a very bright statement College football is replete with stories of kids that were not wanted by anyone that became stars. You must be pretty young and inexperienced.

You can make a pretty great NFL team of players who were two-star recruits

Offensive tackle
“For offensive linemen in particular, recruiting is a tricky game. It's a difficult position to project, and tons of kids don't fully grow into their frames until they get into college strength programs. For that reason, the number of top offensive linemen who were modestly rated recruits is fairly high.”

Closer to home, do any of you remember Neil Lomax? He was an Oregon kid with virtually no offers. As a Freshman at Portland State he was the 5th String QB on Partial scholarship with virtually no offers........

F YI Lomax is head coach at Ft. Vancouver High School.

The Day Mouse’s Team Scored 105

http://archives.midweek.com/content/columns/keepingscore_article/the_day_mouses_team_scored_105/

“Well, in this game, the Run ‘n’Shoot was blazing and firing. In the first four or five minutes, Portland State scored four touchdowns - the fourth touchdown pass from Lomax to All-American Kenny Johnson helped Lomax break Doug Williams’ NCAA career record for TD passes (since broken by Hawaii’s Colt Brennan and then Graham Harrell of Texas Tech). By the end of the quarter, Lomax had seven touch-down passes and in a span of less than four minutes of actual time spent on the field, Portland State led 49-0.”

I was at this game. It was played at Multnomah Stadium where I use to watch Duck/Husky games as a kid.
