No doubt. It's just incredible what we have returning next year, especially on offense. We lose Dickson, Crenshaw & Cavallie & return EVERYONE else. Pretty much a once in a lifetime as far as returning starters & backups. Not just because of the amount of players we return either. The fact that they return from a really good team (this year's) is incredible. When you return that many starters its always from a terrible team, never from a team that may be pac10 champs.

And then throw in Gaines and DJackson..and Cantu....Oregon may have some weapons next year

Does this mean we could put Barner back on Defense once Ethan Grant arrive on campus? Or r we planning to redshirt Grant?

I can't believe Davis/Rowe/Thran are seniors next year. Seems like they just got here

Not positive, but I remember reading we will use Grant for certain situations (Special teams, 2 Backs, etc..). So I think he has a shot at playing as a frosh, but we'll see...
