Oregon football has never produced NFL talent at a higher rate than it does right now. Under Dan Lanning, the program set a record in 2024 with eight players drafted, then broke that mark again in 2025 with ten selections, finishing fourth nationally behind Ohio State, Texas, and Georgia.

Riley will likely be the shooting guard.

2027: Raiola 2028: Thomas, AS or Mencl. AS will be a RS Sophomore then? I guess maybe he stays until this year and leaves if he gets beat by Mencl and Thomas?

Maybe, hard to say, maybe depends on how he has progressed this spring/fall.

Wow, if we get Mencl, I bet Akili Smith Jr will leave... ☹️

Another prediction, Stanford to Oregon. Let’s hope it comes true choosing Oregon over Georgia and Texas this Thursday. Oregon Ducks predicted to land 4-star S Semaj StanfordFour-star safety Semaj Stanford has received multiple predictions from recruiting analysts to land with the Ducks. Stanford is expected to announce his decision on Thursday between Oregon, Georgia and Texas. Rivals' Steve Wiltfong and Sam Spiegelman both placed predictions on Stanford for the Ducks on Wednesday. Stanford is the No. 95 overall recruit and No. 7 safety in the country, per Rivals, out of Broken Arrow, Oklahoma. The 5-foot-11, 180-pounder would be another big win in the secondary for Oregon defensive coordinator Chris Hampton, who has led the recruitment for Stanford. https://duckswire.usatoday.com/story/sports/college/ducks/recruiting/2026/04/22/oregon-football-recruiting-semaj-stanford-prediction/89734844007/

Talent wasn’t the decisive issue in Oregon’s sweep of Washington. What was, was the steadying influence of our six seniors to their one.

The Oregon Athletic Department is among the very few in the black. What is a Power 4's most valuable asset by far? Football game inventory. So, Saint Nick, what's your plan to bring in more money that could save many P4 programs that will not be included in a Super Conference? What's the plan to save non-revenue sports? Your plan to prevent a Group of Eight and instead keep millions of college football fans involved in the game? You have heard that Kirby Smart and Josh Heupel support a 24-team PO, right? Nick, it's really a 16-team playoff with eight play-in games. Your employer, ESPN, doesn't want the CFB playoff to expand? No conflict, right? ESPN is not going to support a playoff model that would end its exclusive broadcast rights and ding the value of its bowl game inventory featuring 6-6 teams going at it. That ESPN is even in the room with conference commissioners is prima facie evidence of Disney's ownership of the postseason and of its undue influence over the selection and seeding of the field. You don't want the PO to begin and end sooner. You don't want 16 postseason games played on campus. Don't you want the product you so artfully coached to bring in hundreds of millions more dollars? There are two ways to increase CFB football revenue: expand the playoff or leverage the value of the football inventory through private equity or private capital deals. Raising the cost of attendance coast-to-coast will be no more than a drop in a huge bucket. Is making the cost of attendance at games prohibitive for many fans good for the growth of the game? Sorry, Nick, and I don't believe you would suggest this, but I doubt that coaches will agree to a 50% pay cut, and players will willingly agree to a cap on NIL income. In my seven decades of watching sports, no sport has gone broke as a result of expanding the playoffs. The CFB PO tripled from 4 teams to 12 teams, and more people attended and watched P4 games last season than ever before. Nick, you are a businessman; how can you not see this? We're all anxiously awaiting your plan. What's that? Yes, relief could come from Congress, but not without you convincing the smarties that run things that the athletes sharing in athletic department revenue are EMPLOYEES. By the way, the United States of America, via the IRS, taxes the income earned by these non-employee student-athletes. Perhaps the NCAA, CFB, CBB, and college poohbahs should try a dose of substance instead of form. 24 should happen as soon as possible, in 2027-28.

I am starting to get a little worried. With Bowen committing, that is essentially 7 forwards on the roster. I know some of them are stretch players, but it might be time to look at a true guard or true center? PF- Stewart, Compton, Bowen, and Harrison. SF - Riley, Meadow, and Ariza

After celebrating the anniversary of Jane Sanders Stadium and the program's 60th season earlier in the weekend, Oregon capped a sweep of Washington on Sunday. By: Rob Moseley EUGENE, Ore. — Oregon softball provided a jubilant birthday party this weekend for Jane Sanders Stadium, which proved to be a house of horrors for the Huskies. The No. 13 Ducks (35-9, 16-2 Big Ten) finished off a sweep of No. 23 Washington on Sunday, 3-1, handing the Huskies their third loss in Big Ten play this season — all at The Jane over the weekend. Oregon bolstered its case for hosting postseason play in a few weeks, and is now a game behind first-place Nebraska as the Ducks chase a second straight conference title. "The sweep is big," said Elon Butler, who hit two solo homers Sunday. "It puts us in a great position to win the Big Ten. I'm so proud of this team, and just the way that we've grown and developed." Butler homered in the third and fifth innings Sunday, and Lyndsey Grein (23-4) pitched five shutout innings in the circle. Amari Harper provided some insurance with a homer in the sixth, and yet another senior, Elise Sokolsky, threw the final two innings for her third save of the season. "I just look at the senior class and what they're doing right now for the rest of our group, just the leadership and the high standard, and just bowing up to every moment and not having any bit of concern, I'm so proud of our seniors and I'm so proud of this group," UO coach Melyssa Lombardi said. "What an unbelievable weekend." Shortly after hitting her home run, Harper received a "Golden Ticket" to the AUSL pro league in a postgame ceremony. Softball legend Natasha Watley was on hand to make the presentation, which included a video announcing Harper's honor that featured UO women's athletics legend Sabrina Ionescu. "It was a shock," Harper said. "There were no words. It was always a possibility; I always knew that. But just knowing that it's a true opportunity now to put into play, it's indescribable." How It Happened: Grein stranded three runners in scoring position over the first three innings to keep the game scoreless. Butler then led off the bottom of the third with her 13th homer of the season, after going 2-for-17 over the previous six games. "I thought I was seeing the ball really well throughout the whole entire weekend," Butler said. "I just think I had to let it loose a little bit, and honestly, just trusting myself and trust in the work I put in." Butler hit her second home run with two out in the fifth. At that point Grein had retired 10 in a row, before leaving the game after the first two runners of the sixth reached base. Grein struck out 10 in Friday's series-opening win over the Huskies, pitched the first inning of Saturday's win and then helped finish off the sweep Sunday — handing the Huskies their first three losses in Big Ten play this season. "For me, (I) approach everybody the same," Grein said. "Have respect for the opponent, but at the same time, everyone's going to get my best that I have for that day. So, respect all but fear none, and then just, foot on the gas. Doesn't matter who's in the box, it just matters what goes on between me and (catcher) Emma (Cox)." Sokolsky came in with two on in the sixth and worked out of the jam. She struck out the final batter of the inning, after the first hitter she faced hit a liner back to Sokolsky, who caught it for the out and then threw to second to pick off the lead baserunner trying to get back to the bag. "We talk a lot about all three cylinders, and when they fire, we're going to be extremely tough to beat," Lombardi said after a weekend of elite defense by the Ducks, along with tough hitting and pitching. "And you got to see that all weekend long with this group. Defense wins championships, and you got to see our defense just hold steady for us." Harper then homered in the bottom of the sixth. That provided welcome cushioning when Washington hit a two-out solo homer in the seventh to break up the shutout. Notable: The Ducks swept Washington for the first time since 2018, and did so in Eugene for the first time since 2014. … Butler now has 51 career home runs, and the multi-homer game was the fifth of her career. … Butler now has 33 extra-base hits, breaking the UO single-season record set last season by Kedre Luschar. In 2024, Ariel Carlson tied the 25-year-old existing school record with 31, and it's been broken each year since. Up Next: The Ducks host Oregon State on Wednesday (6 p.m., B1G+).

The second article above is a great article.... "While supporters of the 24-team field believe that November conference games get a boost in value, detractors argue that September non-conference games aren’t as meaningful. But those in support of a 24-team field believe that administrators will be more willing to schedule high-level, revenue-generating, non-conference matchups as the penalty for a loss isn’t as severe in a format where a third or even fourth loss doesn’t mean elimination. “I think 24 solves an enormous amount of problems,” said Fox Sports CEO Eric Shanks last week from the Sports Business Journal’s World Congress of Sports. “You can create (A) more valuable games that the schools need, but (B) one of the big knocks against college football is the first three weeks. It’s actually hard to find great games.” "While the concept features just one additional round, it adds 12 total games, more than doubling the current 11-game CFP field — perhaps a way to recuperate the financial loss of the power four conference championship games (what many estimate to be a $150-200 million value)."
