In 2025, Michigan signed a half-decent player out of G6 UAB. Dana had success at a mid-major program. Perhaps he wants guys who appreciate a shot to play in the Power 4 and will play well together? What did Kentucky get for $22M? Every concern outlined is certainly justified and may come to fruition, but IMO, a guy with one losing season deserves the chance to do it his way. As Dana noted, based on their failure to perform up to expectations in 2025, many of the players who portaled out were going to be offered less money in 2026. Dusty May brought in team-oriented guys and coached them up. I'm hoping Dana can do the same. Although I don't think we'll see what Michigan accomplished in 2025.

Looks like Meadow wasn't thrilled with the New World field. 😁

A little more info on Meadow. He's a really nice pick up. Can score inside and out, solid size and versatile, plus plenty of starting experience. https://www.oregonlive.com/ducks/2026/04/oregon-mens-basketball-adds-experienced-forward-in-transfer-portal.html

I thought the same thing. Hope we can get some power four studs to fill out the roster.

The G5 kids are rolling in. I guess that is the only play if you have very limited NiL money.

A couple of G5 guys right now that can score the ball. Good to see someone come in with a decent shooting percentage in college. It has been a while (other than Simpkins). Hopefully, these guys can make the jump like Simpkins did last season.

Nice. Another guy that can shoot. 50%+ from the floor and 38%+ from three

OREGON ATHLETIC COMMUNICATIONS FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE | SUNDAY, APRIL 12, 2026 BASEBALL | @OregonBaseball Laya Sets Record As Ducks Win Rubber Match Angel Laya's two homers Sunday broke the UO record for a freshman and helped the Ducks win a top-25 series over Nebraska. EUGENE, Ore. — A record-breaking day from a freshman kept Oregon in the game early, and a shutdown bullpen sealed it for the Ducks late. Angel Laya homered twice to break the UO single-season record by a freshman, and the Oregon bullpen threw 5 1/3 scoreless innings as the No. 21 Ducks won the rubber match of a series with No. 19 Nebraska on Sunday at PK Park, 5-4. Laya hit a two-run shot that gave the Ducks (26-10, 10-5 Big Ten) an early lead in the second, tying teammate Maddox Molony’s two-year-old record for homers by a UO freshman with 10. Laya broke the record with a solo shot that sparked a three-run rally in the sixth, bringing Oregon back from a 4-2 deficit. “It feels good,” Laya said. “(But) it wasn't a goal of mine at all; I came into the season just trying to help the team win and make it to Omaha.” Wins like Sunday’s can help fuel those aspirations. The Ducks won the rubber match against a conference rival and fellow top-25 team, bouncing back from defeat to build some momentum before a match-up with rival Oregon State on Tuesday and then a weekend road trip to Illinois. “It definitely feels good — pops us up going into this midweek and for the next weekend,” said Tanner Bradley (3-0), who got seven outs in middle relief to start the shutout effort by the UO bullpen. “But we also like to keep it flat-line, not get too high, not get too low.” Miles Gosztola took the ball from Bradley and pitched a scoreless seventh inning, keeping his cool despite tempers flaring after a hard slide at second by the Huskers on one of Oregon’s season-high three double plays. Devin Bell then earned his ninth save of the season by getting the last six outs. “Just amazing — awesome,” Bell said of the overall relief effort. “I mean, I want to say I think we do have the best bullpen in the country when we free ourselves up. … We just keep going forward, I think we'll keep getting better.” How It Happened: After Nebraska took a 1-0 lead on a solo homer in the first, Laya gave Oregon a 2-1 lead in the second by following Drew Smith’s leadoff double with the homer to tie Molony’s UO freshman record. The first four Huskers in the third all reached, a three-run inning that put them back in front 4-2. Bradley came on in relief of Cal Scolari to get the last out of the fourth, and he threw two more scoreless innings to keep it 4-2 until Oregon’s bats got going again. That happened in the sixth, sparked by Laya’s record-setting solo shot with one out. Molony followed with a single and Burke-Lee Mabeus doubled him in to tie the score, 4-4. Two batters later, Jack Brooks singled and Oregon had the lead. Gosztola walked the leadoff batter in the seventh but then coaxed a double-play ball. A hard slide into second caused a brief confrontation between UO second baseman Ryan Cooney and the baserunner, but cooler heads prevailed and Gosztola finished off a scoreless inning after allowing a two-out single. Laya was hit by a pitch in the bottom of the seventh, after launching a deep drive to left that curled outside the foul pole. Bell then came in and pitched around a two-out single in the eighth and a one-out double in the ninth, slamming the door on the Huskers to end a game in which tensions were high due to the pregame implications and the seventh-inning confrontation. “I think as a team, when we free ourselves up, we play our best,” Bell said. “Just putting those extra stressors on us just doesn't really help you. So when we free ourselves up, we play our best.” Up Next: The Ducks face Oregon State at Hops Stadium in Hillsboro on Tuesday (6 p.m., KOIN.com).

B1G Talk from the man who amped up recruiting in the Big Ten, Urban Meyer - https://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/other/urban-meyer-identifies-two-reasons-for-big-ten-s-dramatic-identity-change/ar-AA20FB3g?ocid=msedgdhphdr&cvid=69dc42d40e8f49b2b3d1a9672270ef7b&cvpid=69dc430e03be4d84bf375a

"There are a few guys I am tracking for commitments to Oregon over the next few days to maybe a week or two. We'll see what happens. I will admit, I'm pretty impressed at the level of player the Ducks are involved with right now. Things seem to be moving quickly." - Matt Prehm Sounds like Oregon is doing very well in the portal right now and we could see some big commitments soon

Hats off to Rory McIlroy, back-to-back Masters champion. Rory -12, Scotty Scheffler comes in 2nd at -11. This was another tournament this season where Scottie started slow and finished strong, going 11 under par on the weekend. Wyndham Clark finishes -3, tied for 21st place.

I agree; they are not an overrated Big-10 team...they deserve their ranking and more. They will be tough to overcome the rest of the season!

Josiah Molden is a Rivals 4-Star, and besides Oregon was offered by Ohio State, Washington, (Ha!) USC, Notre Dame, Miami and Texas. He is 6'0" and 175 pounds, and could play the "Star" position at Oregon, of which is our fifth defensive back--the Nickel position.

We overcame a pretty good team!!! Gives us a bit of confidence.

Ducks win 5-4! Whoa...Devin Bell surprised the batters with an inside curve/drop-ball, and although he gave up a bloop-double...got it done for his ninth save. Win goes to Tanner Bradley!

5-4 Ducks after eight innings. Devin Bell came in and retired the side with a 94 mph fastball, and nasty slider. Oregon strands two on base!

Oregon shifts recruiting focus to 5-star Will Mencl as QB dominos fall https://duckswire.usatoday.com/story/sports/college/ducks/recruiting/2026/04/12/oregon-football-will-mencl-qb-dominos/89581873007/

Where Oregon Ducks stand in 2027 rankings after Molden commitmentWith the addition of Molden, the Ducks jumped into the top 10 of the national recruiting rankings, leaping over teams like the Georgia Bulldogs, Texas Longhorns, and Louisville Cardinals. Oregon now sits at No. 8 in the national recruiting rankings for the 2027 cycle. https://duckswire.usatoday.com/story/sports/college/ducks/recruiting/2026/04/12/oregon-football-recruit-rankings-josiah-molden/89580962007/

Former five-star WR Gatlin Bair adjusting into football and still impressing teammates after two-year breakThe Oregon Ducks are seeing former five-star wide receiver Gatlin Bair turn heads as he makes his return to football this offseason after a two-year break. https://247sports.com/college/oregon/article/former-five-star-wr-gatlin-bair-adjusting-into-football-and-still-impressing-teammates-after-two-year-break-281509749/

5-4 Ducks after seven innings. Miles Gosztola came in for relief, and retired the side--but not without some drama. In a sweet double-play...the Nebraska second baseman slid hard into second base, and Oregon second baseman Ryan Cooney got the throw off, but did not like the hit on his legs and said so. Both guys got chest-to-chest blustering banal utterings to each other, and the umpires broke it up and gave both teams warnings.

5-4 Ducks after six innings, as Tanner Bradley was awesome again in this inning. Angel Laya gave us another solo home-run that hits on top of the roof of the practice facility! Maddox Molony gets a solid base-knock to shallow CF, and then Burke-Lee Mabeus hits opposite field to zing one down the 3rd baseline and into the corner against the shift, and scores Molony from first base. RS Freshman Naulivou Lauaki Jr. hits to the shortstop, who throws home to stop Mabeus...and meanwhile Lauaki has moved to second base...and later to third on a wild pitch. Jack Brooks gets his first hit of the series--again opposite the shift to LF, and scores Lauaki.

4-2 Nebraska after five innings. Tanner Bradley took out three of four batters... On offense?

4-2 Nebraska after four innings. Scolari was replaced by Tanner Bradley, as the pitch count was climbing... Gotta hand it to our foe, as they hit and pitch well, and thus why they are ranked.
