Pittsburg (Calif.) quarterback Jaden Rashada has been everywhere in the nation taking visits this spring, and he additionally punched his ticket to the Elite 11 finals after a powerful exhibiting towards the most effective passers in Las Vegas. Over the weekend Rashada made his manner out to Eugene for an unofficial go to to Oregon, an vital journey after the Geese could not get him on campus for the spring sport.

Here is what I have been instructed concerning the go to from a supply near Rashada’s recruitment. It is not a ton, however I am making an attempt to present you all essentially the most that I can collect.

The go to went effectively in Rashada’s eyes and throughout the journey he obtained to spend time with Dan Lanning, a optimistic growth as Kenny Dillingham has been the lead recruiter in Oregon’s pursuit after getting employed. 

I have been instructed that Florida will get an official go to from Rashada after the Gators provided in early April. Florida has come on VERY robust on this recruitment and is a critical contender to control.

Torres’ Take

It was good for Oregon to get Rashada again on campus, particularly in an unofficial capability as they push for an official go to over the following month. Optically, it is one other good signal that he reduce his checklist of colleges right down to seven proper after the journey, implying that he is seen what he is wanted to to be able to know what faculties are legit contenders.

Spending time with Lanning was essential, as numerous high recruits need that robust relationship with their future head coach.

Nevertheless, the extra I dig into this recruitment it feels to me like Ole Miss might be within the driver’s seat after receiving his first official go to again in late April. The Texas A&M supply actually makes this one attention-grabbing and I’ve heard repeatedly that he is very intrigued by the big-time soccer that comes with taking part in within the SEC, additional evidenced by his current string of visits to LSU, Ole Miss and Arkansas, which has since landed a quarterback and been eradicated. 

It seems to be probably that Texas A&M will get one in all his 4 remaining official visits. That leaves Florida because the third, and two extra up for grabs, with Oregon, LSU and Miami battling to get him again on campus earlier than his dedication, which is about for June 18.

The timing of the officers shall be one other issue to watch, as everyone knows how vital the ultimate go to may be main as much as a dedication. Rashada is among the most vital recruits for the Geese in 2023 not simply because he is a quarterback, but additionally as a result of he is a high West Coast prospect in California, a state that ought to be Oregon’s candy spot regardless of current invasion by different high packages nationally. 

The Geese are additionally closely recruiting Detroit quarterback Dante Moore, who’s taken current journeys to Oregon, LSU, Notre Dame and Florida this spring. Notre Dame has been seen as the favourite for some time in that recruitment, and Moore has but to set a dedication date.

Oregon has additionally began to supply different quarterbacks within the 2023 class akin to Avery Johnson from Wichita, Kansas and Aidan Chiles from Downey in Southern California. 

Chiles earned quarterback MVP honors on the current ESPN Elite Underclassmen camp in Oakland over the weekend, and Johnson mentioned the Geese will get an official go to following the Elite 11 camp in Nashville. We’ll have extra on him later in the present day.
