I'm very happy how the Ducks signing day turned out, with RB's Lache Seastrunk, Dontae Williams, and Josh Huff joining LaMichael, Barner, and Alston, that Ducks stable is stocked. Pulling DT Ricky Heimuli out of thin air was HUGE. Loving that. Overall the Ducks did a great job.
I'm pretty happy with Nebraska's class. We have some real gamers in Corey Cooper, Brion Carnes, LaVonte David and a great sleeper WR in Quincy Enunwa.
One regret is that Owamegbe Odighizuwa went to UCLA in what was, apparently, a pretty close decision. The tipping of the scales had to be academics, because there's no way UCLA's defensive coaches are going to turn Owa into a better player than the Pelini Bros. could. He's a really good kid and I'm sad he's not coming here. But without him, we have a great class. So it's not all bad.
I like Michigan's class. It's the lowest ranked we've had since Rodriguez has come in, but this was a year to fill spots of need and I think we did that. Stealing Dorsey from FSU/UF was huge, and all the reports that Florida dropped him and not the other way around are inaccurate at best. Should be an interesting season.

Very happy about stealing him from ya. Finally RN does something with the recruits. I like what he did alot this year. We still won't be a contender but better than last year at least. This could also set the stage for something nice down the line.

I'm sure you are since we stole Ricky Heimuli from you guys.

You have to have more than one move to get onto a UCLA squad that shut out the team that took 2nd in the rose bowl for a half. Jab...jab...uh oh here comes the Met barrage

Question is, will Neuheisel be there to see Odighizuwa graduate? He's never been at an institution longer than four years, and he's on year two at UCLA.
I'm not going to lie to you - OO's a beast, but losing him doesn't diminish our class. It'll be interesting to see him in person when we play you guys in 2012 and 2013.
