Fellow tailback Craig Lee(4-Star/Redlands, CA) is another potential Oregon backfield addition heading into the fall of 2013. With a commitment date set in August, Lee is optimistic about “trying to get to Oregon” for a visit. “I know (the Ducks) are interested,” said the 6’0, 190 lb. Lee.
Even with the commitments of top West Coast runner Thomas Tyner(5-Star/Beaverton, OR/Rivals#2-RatedRB) and slashing speedster Dontre Wilson(4-Star/DeSoto,TX), Oregon’s pursuit of Green and Lee is indicative of the furious pursuit to keep the status of “Tailback-U” for years to come.
Speaking of Wilson, the recent Duck commit called his “The Opening” experience “really cool…overall.” Blowing through the 40-yard dash and agility drills, Wilson found his niche towards the end of the camp with several long touchdown runs, leading many observers to profess that he’s the real deal. Get excited for this future Duck, Oregon Faithful; we got a potential game-changer on our hands!
Rivals #1-Rated wide receiver Ricky Seals-Jones(4-Star/Sealy, TX/Rivals100) made waves last month after de-commiting from his home-state “orange people.” Seals-Jones, a 6’5, 220 lb. dual sport athlete (basketball), has Oregon in his top five program choices and may wind up in Eugene in the near future for a visit. In regards to the time-frame of a decision, Seals-Jones indicated that he simply “(has) to be patient.”

During the off-season the FishDuck.com publishing schedule will consist of articles on Mondays and Tuesdays. Do keep checking as new articles could be published during the week when a writer has something to say.

Our 33 rules at the free OBD Forum can be summarized to this: 1) be polite and respectful, 2) do not tell anyone what to think, feel or write, and 3) no reference of any kind to politics.Easy-peasy!
