Oregon’s late recruiting season surge under new head coach Willie Taggart has definitely been felt in the islands. The Ducks made a late push to sway Saint Louis linebacker Isaac Slade-Matautia to commit to Oregon after he was considered to be leaning to Nebraska. Now Oregon has apparently set its sights on Kapaa offensive lineman Morris Unutoa in the final days leading to National Letter of Intent Signing Day on Wednesday.
