I don't worry about overall ratings, I only worry about the ratings for the position they are playing.
The only position I worry about awareness is QB and I'm not usually moving other positions to QB.
I have 2 incoming freshman QBs....so I know awareness will definitely affect them....especially if my junior QB leaves early for whatever reason
Oregon continues to add some really nice recruits at LB'r with two more commits.
Andre is a really neat prospect, a Junior College kid who the staff really want a couple of years ago but Andre's grades just weren't in order. The staff however kept in touch and followed Andre as he really matured over the last 2 years and decided to give him a chance. Andre is very strong minded kid and could compete for some good playing time this upcoming year. He is a JUCO SO so a redshirt isn't out of the question either for Andre who remains open to the idea but also wants to play.
Justin is just another best that the staff kept low on the radar and tried to keep the recruiting battle between Oregon, Kentucky, and Louisville. The staff after signing Mike Jones were a little uneasy in taking another OLB but after numerous discussions they just couldn't pass on the depth that all 5 of these Linebackers will add to Oregon. It is a position that really will be fully loaded for years. Justin as well may or may not redshirt. The staff feels he could get some really good progression from a redshirt but also know that he can contribute on special teams immediately. If Justin doesn't redshirt, he will most likely get some snaps since Oregon runs a multiple of defensive fronts. He could as well as others be looked at for some DE snaps too.
Andrew is a solid G who will redshirt to figure out where he best fits whether that be Gaurd or Center. The staff is happy with his decision to come to Oregon over Hawaii.
Derek is a real long shot to make the team, but Derek didn't mind the uphill battle it will take to crack the 70 man roster. The staff wishes they would have had him on a preferred walk on status but since there was a little mix up and he was given a scholarship the staff will honor that. Derek most certainly will redshirt. They told him he has to work on his acceleration if he is going to fit into this offensive style.
Brandon is another ATH from close to home who is certainly going to Redshirt as well. The staff would like to see how well he progresses after that. He seems destined for a DT role, and the staff was upfront with their thoughts for Brandon. He choose Oregon over Oregon State.
USC adds to solid Offensive Lineman from the East Coast. Both recruits should be able to take advantage of a redshirt year and should see significant action as Juniors.
I can't wait to take over Cali after this season. USC has stumbled and Oregon is primed to explode on the scene next year. Look out recruits, there may be a new boss in the area!!
It's not my winning games as much as your losing games that are going to sweep these boys mammas off their feet. Hi, I hear you like USC did I mention they were 6-6 last season and played in the Porta Potty bowl last season? Come to Oregon where we contend for Championships!

SS Long comes in a bit on the short side of coverage abilities but his other attributes will take him far as a defender. With nice speed and acceleration along with good agility and tackling abilities, he'll make an excellent addition coming off of the edge in a safety blitz. Considering all of that is gift-wrapped into a 6'5 frame, Long will be an stud in years to come. Look for him to redshirt his first year on campus but then be prepared to see him unleashed on the Big 12.
adds one despite losing to the 2nd place finisher on his official visit and sending his twin to Tallahassee for the Seminoles battle with the Gators during the same week....
