Without reservation, I agree that it isn't over until signing day in December. I agree with others that it is senseless to overpay for untested recruits. I do have reservations about the 'once committed, no more visits' philosophy. How much time was wasted pursuing Curtis, who, at the end of the day, stayed with Georgia. Did this prevent OBD from being able to focus on other QBs, and did it turn off other QB recruits? There are only so many hours in the too-long roster management days. And young men's families and agents are pushing for the biggest NIL jackpot they can score. "How much more money can we get for Jimmy or Joe if everyone knows he has 'COMMITTED' to Oregon?" I find it interesting that with the mature players in the portal, you rarely see this parapetetic behavior. Make no mistake, I trust Dan and company when it comes to recruiting and picking the portal. But is a "commitment" just that or not? Perhaps the philosophy of recruiting should change to focus on who is truly committed, so the courting can end before signing day. I don't know my friends, and I cop to being an Old-Timer, but if someone is 'committed' and flakes out, well, how much do I want someone using us coaches like that on our roster? Someone who is attempting to leverage 3rd parties and us? If we're not going to play that game, increase our offer because you played footsie with us, what's the harm in telling a so-called commit," Here's a road map, son, go find yourself.' And today, there's a chance you will get a more mature recruit from the portal.

Thank you, baseball and softball coaches and players, for terrific seasons. Thank you, Charles, for the great baseball coverage, 30 Duck for softball, and all of the Forum folks who contributed. As we said in Boston for decade after decade: Wait Until Next Year! It took 'a while,' but Next Year did happen.

Future is very bright for softball, they can be very proud of their season.

Well there was nothing said in the article that was controversial and fellow coaches obviously respect what CDL has accomplished during his time in Eugene and the B1G I am certainly cautiously optimistic about Dante Moore and the coming season and will probably tell you what I see before the trip to Happy Valley.

Love this team. They never gave up, never quit. A couple of swings of the bat was the difference. The Lombardi era has now been WCWS christened. They’ve had a taste, and you know they’re going to want more. Looking forward to version 8!

I think former assistant Jimbo Fisher was 1-5 vs Saban. Relative to Lombardi, sometimes it is really hard to beat an established program when it plays less than 30 miles from home.

Well, the Lady Ducks finished 42-1 when they hit a home run, they got this one early, but that was it. Oklahoma hit 3.

The "thrill of victory and the agony of defeat". It was a great season for Duck women softball. Oh how it hurts to be oh, so close! I'm very impressed with #33, P, Lindsey Grein. What a competitor. The whole team was fun to watch. OK. Bring on the football team! Go DUCKS!!

Oklahoma Coach Gasso: "If it isn't us, I want it to be them" I'm sure Lombardi feels the same way.

No. Back in the good ol' days, even being No.1 in recruiting on June 1 didn't mean a thing. Now being No.1 on National Signing Day is better than nothing. USC is on top now, check back in December.

Were I sitting to write a post about Kirby Smart's recruiting philosophy, I could do no better than this. Nailed it on every point Smith72!, particularly on the philosophy of not setting the market for unproven talent. Georgia missed on two of the highest rated recruits in the country recently, i.e., OT Cantwell who went to Miami and TE Bowmen aka Baby Brock who went to USC, and I merely shrugged Why? Because I knew the coaching staff had other option recruits who were likely to perform as well at Georgia whom they'd gladly take. Kirby has said he has a hard time giving an untested recruit a salary that far exceeds the average of what his juniors and seniors will make based on their "potential". Start messing with culture and you can get in trouble in a big hurry. Georgia reportedly did not waver even with stud QB recruit Jared Curtis. Curtis has been on the same wavelength as Georgia OC Mike Bobo for several years now and, consistent with Kirby Smart's and apparently Dan Lanning's philosophy, was willing to take less to be developed in a way that made sense to him. In other words, Georgia's 4-year offer to Curtis was in the ballpark with other offers but backloaded heavily in year one and contingent upon satisfactory development and performance. Both Jared and the Curtis family were on-board with this approach.

Thank you, Darren. Roster management in CFB and CBB is a full-time job. Dan and friends, to date, have not needed a GM, unlike $10 million a year men Lincoln Riley and Bill Belichick. In Bill's case, the GM is in addition to his granddaughter, er, GIRL-friend, following him around. A writer on a CFB site noted last week that a new criterion has popped up in recruiting and portal picking: Is having the young man on board worth having to deal with the young man's Old Man? In Wesley's case, at close to the same time his son cannon-balled "committed," his Old Man noted that his son's recruitment was not over. I hate to ask, but in this day and age of NIL, is Lincoln Riley's approach the way to go? An SC "commit" takes further recruiting visits, and SC's offer disappears. In other Forum discussions on this subject, I have noted many comments supporting Dan and Division Street on not spending $4 million on a guy who led the SEC in Ints in 2024, and $2 million for a high school student who hasn't played a down of college football. IMO, the D&D Forum fans support is $pot On! See you in December on recruit and portal signing days. Until then, a CFB 'Commitment' is only a rumor.

Absolutely. Saban knew when to get out.
