Spring Practice 2022 - who of the high school recruits from the 2022 class will be there?

(NOT including collegiate transfers....)

According to the schedule, the first Spring practice is scheduled for March 10, 2022

According to 24/7, the only high school member of Oregon's 2022 signing class currently enrolled at the University of Oregon is Anthony Jones.

Does it stand to reason that Anthony Jones is therefore the only member of the 2022 signing class that can participate in Spring drills and the Spring game coming up?

I believe Jahlil Florence said in an interview that he will be on campus to Spring practice, but as far as I can confirm Anthony Jones is the only 2022 signee on campus. They'll definitely need him on campus as they look for a replacement for KT or some kind of rotation on the edge.

Jones will be exciting to watch. I also want to see Devon Jackson. Even though Jackson needs to put on size, his 10.5 100m time for the size he already is - is simply amazing (incoming LB Taggart is also almost as fast)

If these guys can be at the right weight and retain close to their open 100 times when in pads - just wow!

Those guys are definitely some of the most intriguing prospects in this class. Speed at the linebacker position is becoming more of a premium in today's game and you never have too much of it. You think Bassa might move back to safety with the departure of Verone McKinley?

I loved how Bassa played as a linebacker, but understand his natural position is safety. In theory he may be even better on the back line. Who knows until next season?

My concern about moving Bassa back to safety is I see him more of the traditional strong safety type. If so, would that force a decision of Bassa or Bennet Williams (shout out to the Bay Area!) starting at safety? Because Williams played great at safety before his injury.

Overall, having both Bassa and Williams on the field at the same time would be my preference. (not sold on Stephens at safety yet despite his hate rating coming out of high school)
