Oregon was one of the first teams to really embrace the new GM model for sure and that's been a huge benefit to recruiting. But a normal article is typically a max of 1000 words this one is closer to 1.6k and Charles is good enough to let me write longer stuff from tike to time but I ran out of room. But you are absolutely correct the addition of Malchow has been huge for the program. We don't see his work but is work is on display every single day. I probably should have added a section about players reaching the NFL as well. Right now Oregon has three starting QBs in the NFL in Herbert, Nix and Mariota. Gabriel har some starts this season and I know he was injured but I have honestly lost track of his status at the moment but I know he didn't start last last weekend. And that's just the quarterbacks there are loads of other Ruck ambassadors in the league as models for the aspirations of future Ducks.

I disagree as Johnson has been an awesome weapon when the linebackers are more focused on Sadiq. Also getting this depth back means we can spread the ball around more and run it more effectively as Uw stacked the box and negated our run game. TTU could do the same thing if we dont have reliable downfield passing. All love to Sadiq but he's not getting more than 15 yards before the ball comes his way, kind of the same with JMac. His best routes are 15-20 yards from LoS and usually to the outside, GBJ is phenomenal in the seam/slot area. Maybe I'm overthinking it but TTU scares me as much as Indiana defensively at least.

Agreed, it feels like we only have 2 wide receivers on the field since Wisconsin.

George Wrighster indicated that he has heard that Sam Leavitt’s teammates do not like him. Luckily Coach Lanning has a pretty good relationship with ASU’s HC so I’m sure he’ll get honest feedback on whether he would be a good locker room fit…

Someone mentioned that Raiola transferred to 4 high schools (played at 3) and committed to 3 college teams before enrolling at Nebraska and playing for 2 years. This indicates that he is restless and is always looking for something else. No, thank you.

Is it just me or does it seem like interest in Oregon from top blue chip recruits, from coast to coast, reached a new level once Coach Lanning turned down the Alabama job? Perhaps it piqued their interest and made them want to check out Oregon for themselves, a little bit more …

I would also add the hiring of Chief of Staff/GM Marshall Malchow, who served in a similar capacity at Texas A+M, Georgia and Alabama. Lanning understands that building a championship-caliber team today goes far beyond the football field. “This isn’t the same college football it was ten years ago,” Lanning recently told reporters. “You’ve got to build an organization, not just a team. And that means having the right people in the building.” https://www.lexsportnews.com/2025/07/14/dan-lanning-talks-gm-model-nil-and-building-a-powerhouse-at-oregon/

It sure looks like DL is going to have THE top class this year. One needs to include the Transfer Portal as well, right? Oregon just might have the top class going forward, with this recipe, for a long time.

I just hope that this isn’t a distraction in the playoffs. Same with both Oregon’s coordinators working 2 jobs.

FWIW, Mel Kiper has Dante Moore as the #1 QB on his draft board. George Wrightster claims that Oregon has made a significant NIL offer for Dante Moore to come back next season.

Oregon has just finished signing the third-ranked recruiting class in the 2026 cycle, according to Rivals. However, based on player average score, Oregon has the best average. The Ducks broke a record number of five-star recruits with five, and have just as many five-star recruits as they do three-stars.

Raiola isn't a good fit all around for Oregon. If Dante has privately told DL that he's leaving after the season I'd advocate for Sam Leavitt instead.

Apparently all the talk about Raiola to Oregon right now is fro Raiola and his agent. For him Oregon could be a great landing spot because of the magic Lanning has done with quarterbacks to rehab their careers. But if we are going for a transfer it will either be someone plug and play, closer to a Dillon Gabriel and Bo Nix or a Dante Moore type which is a sit a year and develop. I kinda doubt Raiola wants to sit a year and he is too raw of a talent to be a plug and play. Gabriel was proven and Nix needed a system, athletes, and coaches around him to elevate his potential.

I bet they imported the lot of them blokes!

Ford Field is there, and not because Ford sold one Fairlane. Grosse Point isn't gross, and Oakland Hills is not a Mats Only Muni. 😁 Like many of the once Rust Belt cities, Detroit isn't petrified; it's gentrified. But the winters still ☹️.

Getting ONE back of the three would make all the difference in the Playoffs.

That is the first men’s championship in any sport Washington has won in over 130 years of competing. And it takes away my favorite declaration of, “they don’t make championship caliber men in Seattle!”

Thank you. If they are taking punt return reps that's a good sign. Should be really ready to go by TTU. Stewart is probably not going to be available this year even if we make the Natty, given that he's been rehabing for so long and is still not doing drills, let alone contact activities. That's a little disappointing, but getting Moore back on the field will be a significant improvement.

Washington defeats NC State 3-2, in OT, to win the 2025-26 Men's NCAA championship. UW played and won four PO games on the road against higher seeded opponents and defeated NC State in Cary, NC to win the the title.

Hmmmm, My wife is from Detroit, does that apply to everybody?

Oregon linked to multiple transfer portal quarterbacks amid Dante Moore uncertainty Oregon is already being linked to multiple transfer portal quarterbacks, including Dylan Riola and Sam Leavitt, as Dante Moore weighs his NFL future.

Will Stein on decision to coach Oregon's CFP run: 'I'd feel like a complete fraud if I left these guys' Oregon coach Will Stein didn't hesitate when deciding on if he'd be coaching the Duck offense in the postseason. It was the right thing to do, he says.

Did you notice how good the EXPERTS picked the top 10 teams this year?

No thanks.
