Most Hyped up recruit?
Chris:A local Oregon Recruit, Colt Lyerla was one of the best athletes in the 2011 class and a five-star recruit according to some scouting services. Lyerla is equipped to play multiple positions but will likely end up at TE. At 6'5 230 Lyerla already has a pro body and will mature even more in Eugene.
Alex: This is by far the most obvious answer out of all the questions. De’Anthony Thomas, CB/RB out of Crenshaw, is one the most highly touted players ever to sign with the Ducks. Whichever side of the field he ends up playing, his presence will be felt very soon. Watch out for the “Black Mamba” Ducks fans.
Recruit with biggest impact in 2011?
Chris: I'm going to go with a surprise pick here and go with Juco WR Rahsann Vaughn. According to some scouting services Vaughn is a four-star recruit and is regarded as the top Juco wideout in the nation. With Vaughn being a sophomore I think he'll pick up the dense Oregon playbook faster than his more highly regarded WR recruits. While Vaughn is under the radar right now, he will make his name known to many come football season.
Alex: Before yesterday, I would have said one of Oregon’s stable of receivers. But with the announcement of Brandon Williams retirement from football, I have to go with TE Colt Lyerla.
Lyerla is a freak of an athlete, and he’s been impressing coaches and fans all off-season. He was arguably the most impressive player in the spring game, and he will now likely get extended playing time in 2011.
Freshman who Ducks fans should know about?
Chris:If you asked me which Lake I thought would get more playing time this upcoming season I would bypass five-star running back Lache Seastrunk and pick Hawai'i product Lake Koa-Ka'ai. The Ducks are reloading their defensive line and Lake has the skills to step in right away and contribute.
Alex:Anthony (Big Time Player) Wallace
One of Oregon’s weaker positions this off-season is linebacker. Wallace, a 4-star linebacker according to most recruiting sites, is an enforcer. He may not get a starting spot this season, but he will be a force in his career with the Ducks.
How many recruits will earn starting spots sometime during the 2011 season?
Chris: WR- Rashaan Vaughn, Tacoi Sumler
TE- Colt Lyerla
Alex:Assuming no injuries occur, I see 3 freshman stepping into a starting role this year.
1. Colt Lyerla
2. Devon Blackmon/Tacoi Sumler
Oregon’s first position of need is TE, where two highly touted freshman will battle for a spot opposite David Paulson. And lastly one of Oregon’s incoming wide receiver is likely to get a starting spot.
Recruit that will surprise the most people?
Chris: Ifo Ekpre-Olomu
Say that name ten times fast. This southern California four-star recruit is drawing comparisons to Nnamdi Asomugha due to his great skills in man coverage. In a few years Olomu will be the Ducks top corner.
Alex: Lake Koa-Ka'ai:
This guy isn't a household name yet, but he will be by season's end. Oregon's weakest position is defensive line, and Lake has the abilities to step in right away help out the front seven.
