Pennsylvania Duck Moderator No. 6 Share Posted June 18, 2023 Ducks land commitment from three-star S Kingston Lopa after visit Oregon didn't relent in its recruitment of versatile three-star defensive standout Kingston Lopa when he was committed to Arizona for a few months earlier this year, and those efforts paid off Sunday as Lopa announced his commitment to the Ducks coming off his official visit in Eugene. The 6-foot-4, 195-pound prospect from Sacramento could be a safety or ultimately develop into a linebacker in the mold of current Duck Jeffrey Bassa. Defensive coordinator Tosh Lupoi led the way in recruiting Lopa, who previously talked about the connection they've built through this process.

What do you have to do to get the 4th star? Be offered by the Chiefs? In the end, Rivals and 247 Sports both had Oregon in the top 10 of recruiting rankings last year. Again...Rivals has legacy data that is not corrupted like 247 Sports, thus when I make reference to the number of 4/5-Star players that Bellotti or Kelly had in the past, and we are comparing to Cristobal and now Lanning in the present--Rivals data is consistent and reliable. It becomes that much a bigger deal when Rivals elevates 3-Star players like Luke Moga and Fox Crader to 4-Star, and again--we like having 3-Star guys with a chip on their shoulder who will push or out-work the higher ranked recruits.
