Jon...your research and conclusions are amazing...thanks so much!

I hereby disavow my headline! Not that it isn’t the truth, it is. However, does going LARGE with out-of-conference (OOC) scheduling make sense when we have a Playoff format that’s senseless, coupled with a Playoff Committee that, unlike its college basketball counterpart when ranking teams, prefers whimsey over viable, disclosed to the public, metrics.

Yes, it's been very brutal. I wonder if we are trying to play the nice guy a bit too much and are allowing players to make decisions for the love of the game and our program. It's not enough- we need to pay a lot more if we keep losing out like this. Plus the defections? Just pay more. It's not my or your money.

Yea, let's ryde with lyons.

I think if OBD can get him, Ryder Lyons is a better fit in WS’s offense since he’s much more of a dual threat type of QB. His size and talent remind me of Bo Nix, plus the 1 year mission he’s taking leaves some extra time for the already talented QB room to spread out a bit.

In the end I think his parents influenced his decision due to the distance.

You could come to Oregon and be the first to win a natty be loved for the rest of your life or go to the dawgs be just another dude.

I'm slightly disappointed to not get him, but man, it's such a crapshoot. Like 1 out of all the playoff teams had a QB they signed from HS. It's more disconcerting to be struggling with recruiting this year with USC stepping so much, you do wonder how much USC is really affecting talent available to us. Like the players we used to steal from USC aren't available to take anymore so we are more reliant on stealing from non-west coast locations where we have a lower hit rate. How big of an impact is that? It's non-zero, but we won't really know until signing day.

An average of No. 7...the best ever? (Super-Regionals are the top-eight!)

You know...the ad that elevated from the bottom of the page to where it became hard to publish a post? (Green arrow below) You had to click the little arrow each time to get it to lower...(Red arrow below) It was a pain on desktop, pad AND mobile...and I finally got the advertising platform to remove it. They told me how, "it makes much more money, and it is easy for the readers to move it downward." Yes, and it inconvenienced every reader on every page, and they finally deleted it when I bugged them. The heck of it is...we had it before and I had it removed, but they brought it back without asking me. They get a cut of revenue, hence why they give me grief. We make less, yes. But if it drives people off--what good is it? Besides, it annoyed me to no end, which means that it had to be doing so to others. And if anyone is so inclined...we do have a "Donate" button at the top of the page! Do consider it, to help me make up the loss. Just an update, and THANKS to all! Charles

This was a "good-or-good" scenario to me, in that I think that when it comes to the QB position--an experienced one through the portal might be the best way for Oregon...

OBD at #4 on his list feels high given the amount of turnover at starting positions. Right now my gut says they're top 10 rather than top 5 (though I'd love to be proven wrong).

As soon as Curtis verbaled for GA Oregon got a prediction to pick up Ryder Lyons. Oregon Ducks Expected to Land 5-Star QB After Losing Jared Curtis to Georgia - Athlon Sports

My favorite "One Hit Wonder!"

Lurch is a Duck

Not that any "fan" would notice.

Oregon recruiting, in both football and men's basketball, is in a serious downward spiral over the past few months. Hopefully, they can reverse course here very soon.

A good sign I think. I read a blurb the other day that a player had committed to 3 different schools before landing finally, perhaps at Ole Miss. Commits are always good, but in the environment now, mean far less than they ever did.

The Ducks have the B1G scared senseless over going to Penn State and scheduling it at that ridiculous time.

Did I miss something or did usuc drop football.

Jared Curtis goes to GA, OBD pivots to Ryder Lyons. https://athlonsports.com/college/oregon-ducks/oregon-ducks-ryder-lyons-jared-curtis-5-star-qb-prediction

This is what the NCAA does now? After Michigan self imposes "penalties" on Moore, after Harbaugh is gone, and Stalion is gone? They could impose additional penalties. Should teams watch out if any of their players have tattoo's?

Michigan has suspended Moore from coaching in Game 3 vs Central Michigan and Game 4 at Nebraska. The NCAA Infractions Committee meets on June 6th to review the Michigan cases, scouting and Jim Harbaugh's issues, and could impose additional penalties against Moore and the program.
