Well its that day of the week for you recruiting junkies! Update Friday!
The Ducks have a four new offers dished out as reported on Scout.com and Rivals.com since the last update last Friday.
The new guys are:
1. Adam Hall
4* WR from Tucson, AZ( Palo Verde Magnet High School).
Hall is 6′4 195 pounds and runs a 4.56 forty-yard dash. Hall has offers from Arizona, Arizona State, Colorado, Colorado State, Oregon, Oregon State, Utah, and Washington State.
2. Boseko Lokombo
1* LB/RB/WR from Eugene, Oregon (South Eugene High School)
Lokombo is 6′3 220 pounds and is being recruited as an athlete you could say. He plays all over the place at South Eugene high school. Originally from Congo before moving to Canada and then to Eugene.
3. Jeremiah Masoli
1* QB from San Francisco, CA ( CC of San Francisco)
Masoli( 6′ 205 pounds) is the top QB in the Junior College ranks for the class of 2009. Masoli is in such a big hurry to get to Oregon that he decided to forgo his Sophomore season and transfer to Oregon now. He has signed a Financial Aid Agreement with the UO and will report to camp in June and count as a 2008 recruit. Masoli threw for 3600 yards and over 30 touchdowns as a freshman while also adding 400 yards and 11 more touchdowns via the running game while playing in a spread offense in JC football.
Masoli committed to Oregon Thursday(5/1) morning.
4. Kerry Lewis
1* DB from Lancaster, TX (Lancaster High School)
Lewis, a 5′9 176 pound hard hitting defensive back got his second offer of the year this week from Oregon and now holds two offers with the other being Iowa.

When I was doing this I was really interested in how many offers the coaching staff has extended out to kids who are playing their prep football within the state of Oregon.
I can’t recall a time when Oregon has offered four recruits this early in the recruiting process and yet there’s still a few more players in the state that could land an offer if Oregon miss on a top target.
In the past 15 years or so the Oregon football team has always had a player here or a few there that starred for the Ducks and were from Oregon as well. It brought a sense of connection to many fans as they saw or knew these kids grow up.
Now, I as a fan I want the best players Oregon can nab as possible and I don’t care where they came from. However, when Oregon does offer someone from the state I am really excited about him maybe staying in Oregon and play his college football.
Also, check out how many kids Oregon is recruiting from the state of Texas. We hit Texas pretty hard last season considering we had no real history in that area before than. Now we are building on that momentum from last season. Four offers this early in the game already, and if I had to use my terrible recruiting skills, I would bet we will end up with a number not even close to four by the time recruiting is all said and done.
We are still hitting Southern Cal as usual but like I mentioned in last week’s update, Oregon is moving east at a steady pace and becoming that National program everyone wants Oregon to morph into.
