Who Could Be The Next To Commit?
RECRUITING FOOTBALL
5/11/20242 min read
It's no secret that Oregon leads here. Predictions have been flying in in favor of Oregon. Despite that, his recruitment is not over just yet. He's got Official Visits scheduled to Oklahoma and Tennessee before he makes his decision on June 29th. I am not worried about one of those schools changing his mind. He has been a heavy Oregon lean for quite some time now. On top of that Oregon does get the last visit before he officially announces. I would be shocked if he wasn't a duck.
This one isn't as much of a lock as Brame but you still have to feel really good about this one if you're Oregon. On3's Justin Hopkins already stated that he likes Oregon's position with Mikhail. He has set his commitment date for June 30th and has a trio of Official Visits to take before making his decision: USC June 7th, Oregon June 14th, and Texas A&M June 21st. USC has rumored to be fading in this one so the Aggies seem to be Oregon's biggest threat.
First off, let me just say that his kid is MASSIVE. He is listed at 6'7 340. Manning is coming off a recent visit to Oregon and you have to like Oregon's chances. I think this is a case of if Oregon wants him, they'll get him. Although this recruitment isn't over, Oregon seems to be in a good spot. Manning has official visits scheduled to UCLA May 17th, Washington May 31st, Oregon June 7th, Miami June 14th, and Arkansas June 21st.
Kainoa Winston, 4-Star Safety:
Winston is a prospect that I think Oregon is secretly in good position for. He visited back in March and reportedly loved it. Oregon's biggest competition right now is Penn State with North Carolina lurking. Penn State was the early favorite but his most recent visit to Oregon has made things a lot more interesting. Winston has Official Visits lined up to Penn State June 7th, Oregon June 14th, and North Carolina June 21st.
Waverly has visited Oregon numerous times and again I think if Oregon wants his commitment they'll get it. Oregon seems to be the clear favorite but it just depends on where he lands on their board. DaSaahn Brame is set to commit next month and Oregon is the clear favorite there. I expect Oregon to sign two tight ends in this class but who that second name is will be interesting. Oregon is firmly in the mix for multiple other tight ends including Linkon Cure, Kaleb Edwards, and Vander Ploog.
