FINALIZED? Oregon Ducks’ Transfer Portal Strategy

The school's new state-of-the-art indoor practice facility remains under construction. The school's plans include a new state-of-the-art 170,000 square foot indoor facility located west of Autzen and the relocation of both outdoor fields. The school has targeted 2029 for the completion of the entire project, but the outdoor fields will be completed before then. Here's a Look From Above of the Progress of Oregon's Practice Facility Upgrades

We're just over a week from the 2025 season wrapping up. But in this day and age, there really isn't an off-season. The ACC released it's schedule yesterday. Today the B1G is set to do the same. What games are you looking forward to most? What's your expectation for this upcoming season? Last year, most thought the Oregon vs Penn State game was going to be one of the greatest, and it was. But it was a couple weeks later, that we got the real playoff primer. With the 2025 National champion Indiana Hoosiers handing Oregon their first , and up to this date only B1G conference game loss. (Ohio State was a playoff game, as was the Indiana rematch) https://goducks.com/news/2026/1/24/football-schedule-to-be-announced-tuesday-as-season-ticket-deadlines-for-2026-approach

The first Much Too Early College Football Top 25 preseason poll was released approximately 30 seconds after Curt Cignetti was handed the Championship Trophy, and then finished his acceptance speech, noting that the Big Ten, except for Purdue, of course, doesn’t suck. Patience is a virtue, but is rarely observed in today’s wired, peripatetic world. And the folks casting for ... Is the Big-10 Hosed, (Hoosiered) or Not?

Friend in Virginia has 4-6", but it briefly rained, forming a slick crust of ice... his front door is on a slight incline from where his car is parked. He videoed walking to his car for work. He claims that he has flying down, but his landings are a little rough.

I define success to be what the team does in the December early signing period and then what happens with the portal. The games just follow recruiting. The expanded playoffs were needed. When it was just the AP determining champions, every game was a playoff game - all charging ahead to get that number one spot and not lose it. Two years in and the teams with byes lost 7 out of 8. Time to go to 16. The top 4 or 5 will get warm up games. It is also time to dump the group of whatever. If they are good, they can get ranked high enough to get in. Or... let their top teams play top 5 teams in the first three weeks, get a win, and then build a case for playoffs.

Doesn't all this remind you of 'Prime Time' at Colorado? It does a little to me. If it follows the same script, Kiffen will win a few games, get all the attention, and then get beat down by a 'real team'.

Jigs first Indiana portal group were experienced former players of his JMU team, were they not... There is a huge gulf between familiarity and massive talent, in a completely un familiar system, with no cohesion. Better get "the team" together for some massive KUMBAYA gatherings.

I think Cignetti answered that --Time and experience are better. Kiffin will take at least 3 years at LSU.

With that many new players all at once, I wonder how well they will play together in a system that is new to them.

I would guess LSU goes 9-3, I think that first game could turn into a nightmare where Clemson comes away with an upset, so many players to integrate in There is going to a ton of pressure on Kiffin to win right away Tennesssee, USC, Ole Miss none of these places was expecting 10, 11, or 12 wins right out of the chute

My thinking is that Kiffin has accumulated a gosh-awful amount of bad karma on his whirlwind tour of NCAA CFB. Being an old Viking, I'm counting on Loki to have something to do with depositing all that unfavorable karma on Kiffin and causing all his misdeeds to this point to come into play in a disastrous sort of way 😁 Sending un-happy thoughts Kiffin's way!! 😁😂🤣 Go Ducks!! 🦆🦆🦆🦆 OlCodgerDuck

I predict another Jimbo Fisher/ TAM fiasco.

Par for the Lame Kitten course. Kiffin has never been a great recruiter. He buys players from the portal. Trinidad Chambliss was discovered and brought to Ole Miss by Charlie Weiss, Jr. LSU also went large in the portal in 2025 and fired Brian Kelly before the end of the season. This Pink Slip only cost LSU $54 million. In 2026, LSU is on the road for five SEC games: Ole Miss 😁, Kentucky, Auburn, Tennessee, and Arkansas. In 2026's 13-week season, LSU finishes with back-to-back road games. Week 12 at Tennessee and Week 13 at Arkansas. Not the best way to finish a season. The five SEC road games will be a new experience for LSU and the other seven SEC teams doing the same in 2026. Home opener against Clemson. Then, LSU welcomes Texas A&M, Mississippi State, Alabama, and Texas to Baton Rouge. This is a far more difficult SEC schedule than Old Miss played in 2025. Good luck (yuck, yuck.) LSU is paying QB Sam Leavitt a lot of money to transfer in from ASU. Leavitt has a history of being injured. He's a good dual-threat QB, but he has nowhere near the ability and athleticism of Trinidad Chambliss. O-line was LSU's weakest link last season. Seaton's coming in, but will he be a fit and play well with his new teammates? Seaton played well at CU, but the overall line play was Buffalo chips. I look at the schedule, and I can see three or more losses and no invitation to the playoffs. If so, entering year two Kiffin's seat will be scalding hot. The man won a conference championship in the G6 with FAU; that is all he's accomplished.

Either ends up on top, or epic mis-fire. Most expensive class to date?

SEC Program Has Landed 9 of College Football’s Top 100 Tr...After a disappointing 2025 and a change in leadership, a SEC powerhouse might be back in full force next season.

I like that they are trending more athletic at linebacker. I think Sonny Styles from Ohio St is the prototype. Mario was bringing in bigger, bulkier guys. Modern defenses are like: 2 beasts at DT, 2 strong and fast guys at edge who can beat the OTs, and the rest who can run, cover and tackle.

Check out the portal activity: https://247sports.com/college/oregon/season/2026-football/transferportal/?institutionkey=24102 Seems like they broke the piggy bank on the 2026 season. Maybe that is the 'new formula'? Put all your eggs in one basket and shoot for the top. How far do you think that is going to take them? I hate to say it, but with that kind of talent, they could go all the way.

Back in the 90s my best friend and I were on the football team and my friend hurt his ankle. Coaches didn't care back then, he still had to run the conditioning drill where you jog around the field with each person laying down at the next 5 yard line while everyone hops over them. I think we did 2 or 3 laps. He came to school the next day in crutches having actually done that drill on a broken ankle. I also once played half a football game with my thumb broken all the way through at the base next to my wrist, from tackling the biggest guy in our league on a kickoff return. Those were the days of being young with a high pain threshold.

The formula to stop the Ducks offense: Big aggressive, strong, fast front 7. Pressure on Dante. All receivers covered. Shut down run game. Load the box. Don't give Dante time. Athletic linebackers give the Ducks trouble. This past season, the O line was getting burned on pass rush. So they could get away with crowding the line of scrimmage. In this case, screens don't work. RPO won't work either unless there is a deep threat. And Dante was a non runner for the most part. Even when he did run, he was not very effective. I suspect that teams caught up to Stein's bag of tricks. I think Lanning hired from within so he could put in his changes. Dante has the best pure arm Oregon ever had. At least recently. And they have speed at receivers. Time to open it up. If all you do is run (or screen) on 1st and 2nd down, and then throw just to the sticks on 3rd, that is very predictable. Even more so when they watch film and know all your plays.

Ducks remain one of top contenders for 2027 4-star CB Josiah MoldenAfter a visit last weekend, the Oregon Ducks are reportedly among the top contenders to land 2027 4-star cornerback Josiah Molden. The West Linn, Ore., native has strong family ties to the Oregon program. His father, Alex Molden was a star in the Oregon Ducks secondary during his time as a Duck. A four-year starter, Molden helped lead Oregon to Rose and Cotton Bowl appearances in 1994 and 1995. He left Oregon as the program leader with 60 passes broken up and eighth in interceptions (11) while being named a first-team All-American in 1995. Molden went on to be selected 11th overall in the 1996 NFL draft, spending eight season in the NFL and intercepting 12 passes and tallying 252 tackles. He was inducted into the Oregon Hall of Fame in 2008. Now, head coach Dan Lanning and Oregon are surging in his sons recruitment, per Rivals' Adam Gorney.
