And yet his interest in Oregon is listed as "cool". I don't understand certain things on these sites.

It takes forever for those sites to get updated. I trust very little of what I see on them in all honesty.Weston wrote:And yet his interest in Oregon is listed as "cool". I don't understand certain things on these sites.
Is there any reason the Ducks couldn’t take both?StevensTechU wrote:It's wild that after watching this weekend's visitor Solomon Williams on tape, I'm not even sure I want the Ducks to take Rushing.
By far the best DL recruiting the Ducks have had in my lifetime.
Only that there is a scholarship limit to a football team. They're already looking at being ~15 over the scholarship limit before transfers, retirements, etc. The fat has been cut in the past few years, so now you're talking meat and bone.OregonFan4Life wrote:Is there any reason the Ducks couldn’t take both?StevensTechU wrote:It's wild that after watching this weekend's visitor Solomon Williams on tape, I'm not even sure I want the Ducks to take Rushing.

Watching his HUDL film which was updated yesterday by chance, his floor is Jalen Jelks his ceiling is Arik Armstead. He's not quick off the line like KT was, so his outside speed rush isn't as effective and he's also taller and once he adds 25# he's likely to find himself taking on more Guards, but I also think he's much more effective on film when he is attacking inside where his long arms give him better leverage to get to the QB. That's my 3 minute observation.duckfan96 wrote:For those more into recruiting etc than I am, is he good? Like Kayvon good?
How would you compare to Rushing? Of the two, who would you prefer?Duck07 wrote:Watching his HUDL film which was updated yesterday by chance, his floor is Jalen Jelks his ceiling is Arik Armstead.

Do you mean a straight KT to Rushing comp? KT in Dan's defense would likely have played more standing up so I think KT is a DE/OLB whereas Rushing is probably just a straight DE regardless of system.jimmy12 wrote:How would you compare to Rushing?

Think more Dion Jordan. I don't know that he has Dion's level of athleticism, but could be close to it and that's what's enticing. Kayvon came in skilled[/], much like Matayo and Teitum have this year. Those are all guys that clearly started treating this like a job early and have a whole repertoire before even setting foot on campus. Rushing would take more development.duckfan96 wrote:For those more into recruiting etc than I am, is he good? Like Kayvon good?

Solomon Williams is a different guy, different build. More closer to what you're thinking of when you think of Kayvon. More of a sturdy build who can go through and not just around you. He looks further along developmentally right now, but anyone's guess who will be better in 2-3 years.
Sorry-- should have been more clear with my question. Who would you rather have Solomon or Rushing?Duck07 wrote:Do you mean a straight KT to Rushing comp?

KT was great when he was on the field for us but was also a bit of a one-trick pony as a pass rush guy. Rushing can be someone who can really set the Edge and dump Tackles into the QB.
