Umm, they had a top 10 class last year. Currently they have a mid-teens class, though several blue chippers are still likely to commit. Those likely to commit this week include the #2 center prospect ( Link) , the #3 RB prospect ( Link) ), and the #8 DE prospect ( Link ) Already on board this year are two other 4-star runningbacks, a 4-star OL that's the best OL prospect in the NW, a 4-star TE, and a 5-star JC DT. I won't go into last year, but on paper it was Oregon's best class ever.

Also, Oregon is in Terrelle Pryor's final 3 (he's the #1 QB and overall prospect in the country), though he did cancel his scheduled visit so the prospects there aren't good. Luckily two 4-star spread option QBs have already committed this year, as has another who is ESPN's number 12 QB prospect in the country ( Link ).

I follow this stuff closely, and I can tell you with a lot of confidence that recruiting has been rolling at Oregon lately.

PS - Yes, our locker rooms rock. Thank you Uncle Phil, and thanks in advance for the new baseball stadium and basketball stadium that are about to break ground. PLEASE VISIT TERRELLE - YOU'LL BE IMPRESSED!!!

PPS - Oregon also has a top 10 basketball recruting class coming in this fall... [Smoking] [/b]
Rolling lately? yes i agree, in the past? not too much.

AND yes i heard about the #1 QB making a visit to campus sometime last week. Lets cross our fingers and hope he joins.

Also heard about the dual QBs, it will make an interesting year.[/b]
The past has been better than you should expect - Oregon isn't a premier type of program that turns out top 10 classes every year. Still, there's been some big gets - snoop certainly comes to mind, among others.

Terrelle Pryor has not visited Eugene. Chip Kelly met with him today in Penn, but there's no trip officially planned as of now (there were reports that he'd be there on Monday, but no dice.) Hopefully Chip can convince him to make the trip, because if he does I think we stand a great chance of landing him. If not he won't commit to Oregon.

Regarding the incoming QB's already committed, I personally don't think they'll impact next year. I still think Costa will be Oregon's QB next year, though certainly Thomas, Harper and Roper will state a claim.
