Jon Joseph Moderator No. 3 Share Posted May 20, 2023 (edited) DL and staff are simply killing it. I think on 247 composite rankings these 2 commitments will move Oregon up to 5 in the nation. DL most certainly has not taken a recruiting back seat to Mario. Top247 DL Xadavien Sims announces commitment to Oregon 247SPORTS.COM The Ducks continue to add top targets to one of the nation's top recruiting classes.

NJDuck Moderator No. 4 Share Posted May 20, 2023 The No. 1 player in Oklahoma has made his decision, and he's set to leave the Mid-South region in favor of the Pacific Northwest. Four-star Durant (Okla.) defensive end Xadavien Sims announced his commitment to Oregon on Saturday. Sims opted for the Ducks over a top-five that also included Michigan State, Oklahoma, TCU, and Vanderbilt, with the Sooners especially making a strong push throughout the process. In the end, Dan Lanning and the Pac-12 program won out for the top player in the Sooner State, winning a head-to-head battle over Brent Venables. Lanning and the Ducks have had some success in the region, particularly in Texas, and Sims is the latest in that development. ***** 6'4" | 280 LBS | SDE | 2024 DURANT DURANT, OK RIVALS REACTS RIVALS REACTS Xadavien Sims moved into Oklahoma for his junior season after beginning his prep career in the Lone Star State. The four-star is a well-built prospect with a good-looking frame at 6-foot-4 and 280 pounds. He has shown the ability to play all over the defensive line, from the edge to sliding inside. Sims plays with a lot of strength in the trenches, where's he able to win consistently at the point of attack. His track and field background, where he throws the shot put and discus, shows up on tape as he battles offensive linemen. Furthermore, Sims features some athletic upside that can be tapped into even further on the next level. He has played tight end and linebacker, showcasing ability to play in space. The best is likely still ahead for the Rivals100 recruit. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Joseph Moderator No. 5 Share Posted May 21, 2023 The USA Today (via Ducks Wire) has the 2024 Oregon recruiting class ranked at 20! Something is simply wrong with USA Today's ranking algorithm. On3 recruiting has the Ducks ranked 8 before adding the two 4* additions. 247 composite has the Ducks ranked at 6. Rivals also have Oregon ranked at 6. USA Today and Ducks Wire, Go To Your Room!

Jon Joseph Moderator No. 9 Share Posted May 21, 2023 More kudos to Oregon and Dan Lanning and I love the author pointing out that Mario's recruiting is not missed in Eugene. Oregon football lands elite 4-star DL Xadavien Sims over Oklahoma, MSU SATURDAYBLITZ.COM The rich just keep getting richer. Oregon football had a top-10 recruiting class for 2024 heading into decision day for four-star defensive lineman Xadavie... The rich get richer is something we have heard forever about SEC teams. This is great for our beloved Ducks! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
