That last thread was getting messed up.

So I’d say that was a successful weekend. Two 3-stars and a hard-hitting, high ceiling 2-star guy.

It will be interesting to see what Andersen does with an entire season. (a) He is probably making enemies (b) he doesn’t seem to care. Does it come back to bite him at some point?

We’re hearing good names for next weekend: Khalid McGee, Thor Katoa, Lopini Katoa, Keivonnis Davis, Noah Togiai, Mufi Hunt, James Empey, and Tuli Wily-Matagi. There seem to be a lot of unknowns in the mix, too. Andersen might pull a better recruiting class than Riley, and in 3 weeks…but remember: you can’t recruit to Corvallis.

Has anyone heard rumors?

We know Jalen Moore committed. I’m okay with him…2-star “low hanging fruit”, but what I noticed about Andersen’s low hanging fruit is they look more polished and with higher upside. Moore is a big hitter, slightly raw. Maybe within a year he can contribute. Riley’s LHF took 3 years to develop, and didn’t have as high a ceiling.

A good example is Jay Irvine. He was originally a 2-star. He’s now been bumped to three stars with interest picking up. He looks like a really aggressive, intense DB who can contribute soon. Andersen is focusing on the players recruiting services miss. Riley focused on neat stories and guys completely off the grid. The philosophies overlap in some ways, but Andersen’s guys seem like better players who will be ready sooner and have more upside. They also look more athletic.

Anyway, share anything you’ve heard. I’m most interested in Thomas. He is a good looking RB.
