[Report: 4-star Oregon RB Dante Dowdell to Take Unofficial Visit to Ole Miss]

Heard he signed his letter of intent today.     Go Ducks!     By the way, Kiffin was here at Dante's house and Mike Leach was here ... about a week before he died!

Also, he is a Mississippi kid. Maybe he grew up a fan of Ole Miss. Why would he want to miss out on a front row seat and a look behind the scenes???

 

This trip doesn't bother me at all. If somewhere else happens to be a better fit for him, better that he discover that now than during the second week of classes.

 

The room might look full now, but if the coaches think they need a 4 star commit, I think they can convince the commit of that too.

Not necessarily.    I believe he actually grew up in Louisiana as well so just as likely an LSU fan maybe?

 

By way of introduction, Dante is my next door neighbor but just for like the last couple of years.   Not his whole life.     I certainly don't know him well but we've made it a point to go to a couple of his games.    My husband says he runs like Eric Dickerson used to run.    You know, more up and down.     I told him we wanted to be sure we'd seen him play before he heads off to Oregon because I hope to watch him play a lot in college.    He said he chose Oregon over Ole Miss because it's a better school and that everyone around here wants him to go to Ole Miss.    My .02 cents?    If he was going to sign with Ole Miss, he already would have.

 

And, by the way, standing next to this kid, he sure doesn't look like a high schooler!
