Sucks for Allen.  He already had to come back from one knee injury.

As for choosing Stanford, if you are serious about playing WR the the NFL, it's not a great career move to chose Stanford over Oregon.  Sure, Doug Baldwin and a few others (barely) have made it in the Harbaugh/Shaw years, but it's hard to get good game video on you at Stanford these days.

I'm of the opinion Francis Owusu is quite a talented WR, but even as a 4 star recruit he hardly gets any opportunities to show what he can do. Rector will get most of the passes going his way this year, like Cajuste did last year.  Look at Irwin.  Just 2 catches in two games and he was a borderline 5 star recruit.  But he did down punts really well against KSU and recovered that CMac fumble!

FREE Trent Irwin and Francis Owusu!

Umm, well, maybe it's not a good idea to choose Stanford, but Oregon certainly doesn't produce NFL wide outs. There has been one UO receiver drafted since 2007, Josh Huff (two if you count Thomas, who is kind of an RB/WR/KR). Those are the only UO receivers in the NFL, and I don't know if either will be there much longer. Stanford currently has 3 WRs on NFL rosters (Baldwin, Montgomery, and Whalen). So no, Oregon doesn't seem to give any benefit to being drafted.
