Texas Tech WR transfer visiting Oregon
Oregon will be hosting Texas Tech WR transfer Jonathan Giles in June. He was their leading receiver last year as a sophomore so would potentially be a big addition after he sits out for a year. Only issues are that he's got a lot of other suitors and is only 5'11", which would seemingly put him into contention with Oregon's potential glut of slot receivers.

Darn, too bad he couldn't be a potential addition for this year, because we could use it. I feel like with how many younger slot receivers we have right now, next season will be overflowing at the position. Talent is talent though, sign him up!

Re: Texas Tech WR transfer visiting Oregon
Pretty good highlights:
He could theoretically play outside (Josh Huff did at the same height), but he does seem to do most of his damage from the slot. I trust our coaches, though.

Oregon has made his final 3 and will be the last school he visits.

I hope he will choose Oregon, He will be a big addition to young WR groups and Herbert will have more weapons to choose to make a big plays.

Wasn't a position of need (we have a TON of slot guys) but it would have been nice.cordy02c wrote:he committed to Lsu today

Re: Texas Tech WR transfer visiting Oregon
they always have lots of talent at WR and NOBODY to get them the ball. I've always wondered why top WR's go there....I mean I understand why they get the OL and RB's they get but dang.cordy02c wrote:he committed to Lsu today

Re: Texas Tech WR transfer visiting Oregon
I think it has a lot to do with the success of former WRs in the NFL and that we run a pro style offence and not a spread. The fact that the don't get too worn down while playing here plays a facte too I think ,ArkansasDuck wrote:they always have lots of talent at WR and NOBODY to get them the ball.

That is an excellent way to frame that. Pick an LSU receiver - barely used. Only taken out by grandmas on Sundays to church and back.

Re: Texas Tech WR transfer visiting Oregon
There's that as well as I'm not so sure he was that fantastic. He lost his starting job mid-season. In the Ping-Pong offense slot is a focal point and supposed to get alot of touches. He'll have to be a much more disciplined route runner.Phenom wrote:Wasn't a position of need (we have a TON of slot guys) but it would have been nice.cordy02c wrote:he committed to Lsu today
