The future QB for OSU?



Spring ball is starting this month, and the big question is whether or not Sean Canfield will be the man. His only threat at this point is a JC transfer and some freshman. It will be worth following.

In case you need a reminder about the energy around OSU football:



A feel good story about Keith Ellison returning to OSU to get his degree. Not sure what he is majoring in, but I hope it is accounting related. Most pro players don't know jack about managing money. They rely on donkey agents for advice.

Sabby is a Freak



I had no idea Sabby Piscatelli was a 4.4 40 guy, but apparently he is. That is pretty impressive for a guy who weighs 225. Unfortunately, there are 3 other safeties in this draft who ran 4.3's and played at small schools like LSU, Florida, and Texas. I wouldn't be surprised if Sabby goes in the first, it really depends on the coach and team.

Oregon State Football Recruiting Review

Oregon State wrapped up it's 2007 recruiting campaign with a strong list of fast athletes. There were a couple strange scholarship offers to players who had injuries during the 2006 season or where shot while on a recruiting visit to New Mexico(our old D-coordinator is now the head coach at NM). On another bizarre note-Mike Riley got a stomach virus on the signing day and was out of commission. Mark Banker had to step in to make calls/visits/news conferences. Amazingly Riley's absence had no impact on their efforts to sign a solid looking class. It's too early to tell, but I am optimistic that this class will have an immediate impact next year. I expect a couple Juco kids and true freshman to make contributions.

The following individuals have signed National Letters of Intent

BTW- Oregon State's baseball team is on track to become a dynasty as long as Pat Casey is the Head Coach. Want proof? Howabout opening the season with a NO-HITTER!
