McDuck    No. 3 Share Posted November 9, 2022 Second or third visit for Mr. Hicks, he officially visited last June. Reportedly earned high marks from from both the recruit and his father at the time. Encouraging he is willing to pay his own way for another look. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, the article above said it will be his third visit. So this will be his second unofficial visit on his own dime. The Ducks obviously made quite an impression on him.  I would have thought that his next choice to aTm would have been the Sooners. Who cares! Go Ducks! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neither of those teams are good this year. Now, record alone doesn't really play a role in recruiting but it is telling. Maybe he isn't feeling confident that either of those teams will get him to the playoff and if that is a goal of his then Oregon may become a bigger destination. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
