So you want to know all about the Oregon recruits who signed letters of intent today to play ball with the Mighty Ducks next season? You really do, right?
Okay, here's the lineup with a neato package of highlights and bios, and an interactive map that tells you where the players are from. It's interesting (not really) that not one of this year's signees is from the state of Oregon.
Oregon has a scarcity of top talent because it has a scarcity of human beings, go figure.
Oregon's class is rated number 16 in the country and third in the PAC behind USC 1-1 and UCLA 7-2.
CD, a UCLA honk, is likely happy, but USC signed most of the big stars out of the LA region, just as it does every year.
In reality the whole class-rating and star system in recruiting circles is pretty much overrated. Oregon has never had a top-ten class but does fine year in and year out because the coaches there are first-rate.
You wouldn't know that listening to many spoiled Duck fans who complain otherwise, but it's true.
