WSU VISITOR NOTES
While this is not going to be the showing that is expected for the USC game, there are some notable visitors this weekend.
This one is massive. I still think Oregon is a longshot here, but I like their chances better here than with Eddy Pierre-Louis.
This one is also important. He is a different player than Elijah Rushing so this is another player that Oregon would really like to add. I think the odds are higher here than with Seaton, but still would not call Oregon a leader with Williams. Oregon is in his final five along with Texas, Texas A&M, Clemson, and Alabama and will be his third official visit.
The Oregon commit will be in town for the game and this is one of those players that has been fantastic as a peer recruiter (though quietly so). He will help with some of those other visitors this weekend. It is always good to have a commit among other elite prospects so this is a nice addition to the weekend.
This is a massive visit from a top ten player in the class of 2025. Pickett, a five-star safety from Florida will get a chance to see a defense that looks a lot like SEC defenses and one of the best environments on the west coast.
It is a long way out with Pickett, but the stellar start to the 2025 class is not going to hurt. Will be tough, but great to get him out on an unofficial this early.
Another teammate of current Oregon commits Michael Van Buren and Ify Obidegwa, Humes is a class of 2025 prospect who is starting to get a little attention. He is going to need some solid days at the circuit next summer, but the staff like him a lot more than people might think.
OTHER RECRUITING NOTES
I know Jeremiah McLellan is still a major target for Junior Adams and Antonio Parks – but the Ohio State commit is still going to be a difficult pull Brian Hartline is an elite recruiter and the Ohio State staff have made him a priority from very early.
But I do know that the staff are still in communication and there is reason that they believe that they can still find a way to land the coveted wideout.
As I mentioned the other day, at this point I don’t see Oregon offering PJ Woodland. The Ducks have a solid defensive back class and I think right now they are looking at only elite, first day contributors. Woodland is one of those players that is going to be very solid somewhere; I just don’t think it will be in Eugene.
Jason Mitchell is a great prospect, the transfer which has caused him to miss the first part of his season this year means he has to get transcripts straightened out prior to any official visits. Once that happens, I expect a lot of schools to get into the mix. I would not be surprised if this does not go to the second signing period.
Eddy Pierre-Louis is almost surely going somewhere other than Oregon for his commitment. Just not going to get this one.
Finally, the thing about Jericho Johnson is that the Ducks are going to have a lot of players in this class and I am not sure whether there will be room. Imagine the Ducks landing one more OL, Elijah Rushing, Solomon Williams, Jason Brown, and maybe a flip at wide receiver. That would give Oregon 29 or 30 commits in this class.
Though there are no longer signing limits, the 85 man limit still applies and the Oregon staff will have ton find spots for a lot of players still.
