I went and read it and it's amazing. He played QB too. That will give him an edge in understanding while playing DB, and maybe we'll even get some trick plays using him in special teams or throw him in for a fake field goal or punt or something.

Couldn't agree more. Stein & Lupoi have had the opportunity to witness the benefits of having coached a team to a national championship, and the impact that has on your future success. I believe Lanning & Company will be laser focused on the opportunity at hand. This isn't something that DL will have to conjure up; it's in the DNA of who Lanning is and the culture he has established. Oregon is not a place (post Willie & Mario) where you burn btridges to get somewhere else. Oregon is a place where you embrace the culture, win the day, and launch into better tomorrows together. As always, Go Ducks!

Worry? Nah

All things considered, strong start

In Lanning, I Trust. That is all.

While we have the other thread, the other sites are effectively taking the information from this site on GoDucks.com and the players will be listed as they sign through the day. Football - Wednesday, December 3 - Signing DayWednesday, December 3: Signing Day for University of Oregon Ducks Football As of 8:30 AM, eleven of the nineteen expected to sign are done already. For those who are new at this....every year we have players sign later in the day at their high school signing ceremony, so no need to panic. And...we typically flip a player or two, and have one or two flipped from us. As usual, the majority stick to their verbal commitment...

Well another target just got taken off the map. Brian Hartline is the new head coach at USF. The whole DeBoer thing just doesn't make sense to me. I know Alabama fans are absolutely insane, but DeBoer is doing about as well as anyone can , especially when following a legend. They've been spoiled, but I can tell you that no program is immune to having bad stretches. Texas, Michigan, Notre Dame, USC, LSU, Miami, Tennessee, and even Georgia have gone through decade plus long stretches of not being title contenders. Florida is in the midst of fifteen years. DeBoer is a great coach. If Alabama doesn't lock him down, or the spoiled fans drive him out. I'll laugh so loud, I might get a noise complaint. FSU has already given me an early Christmas gift, by keeping Norvell. What other big play can they get? Take Dabo from Clemson. I think Clemson might welcome that. They aren't getting Ryan Day or Kirby Smart. Both Texas programs just signed their coaches to long term contracts. Cignetti just got a huge extension. Both the Tulane, and North Texas coaches are already hired at new places, same for James Madison. That leaves Virginia, and five loss Duke. There isn't much left.

They are definitely protecting the SEC and Alabama here by moving them up one place. Notre Dame will get cut if it comes down to it and Bama probably protected. But Miami is probably out no matter what at this point... so that is kinda delightful in itself.

He is supposed to sign at 12:00 ET per X.

Never mind. Just saw he signed with OSU.

A few things have me feeling pretty good. In the post I saw about Stein taking the Kentucky job it also said he would continue his duties with the team until the season ends. He probably has an arrangement similar to what Lanning had with Smart at Georgia, where he wasn't allowed to recruit for the team anymore but could begin to recruit for his new team. What makes things more difficult for Stein is that I don't think he is officially hired at Kentucky yet and TODAY is National Signing Day so who knows the recruiting class he even has to work with at the moment... well I guess I can look it up.... ranked 58th with 15 recruits basically all three stars on Rivals and I can't tell who has actually signed at this point anyways. The reality is that Stein is going to have to recruit who he can before the second signing period and dive into the transfer portal. The portal doesn't open until January and I wouldn't be surprised if he takes the lion's share of Ducks who transfer. His first season is going to be a bit rough but the reality is that with the NSD being so early now that new coaches are barely hired before they have to sign a recruiting class so they'll be portal heavy. The same goes for Lupoi and Cal. Though in the case of Lupoi I haven't seen anything saying that he intends on finishing the year at Oregon or not. However, Hampton has called plays on defense before and Lanning is the HC so I am a little less concerned on that front.

So far, so good. Love OBD's per recruit ranking. https://247sports.com/season/2026-football/compositeteamrankings/?utm_source=247Sports&utm_medium=ExternalEmbed&utm_campaign=TeamRankings

I wonder if this means Chris Henry Jr is up for grabs.

CBS reports that Hartline will stay for the champ game and through the POs. https://www.cbssports.com/college-football/news/usf-hires-brian-hartline-head-coach-ohio-state/

Thanks, Doctor. USF when he was rumored to be in the running for the Penn State job? Looks like Brian wants out of midwest winters. Is he staying with the team through the playoffs?

Getting these vibes from the coaching staff side. Time to give it one last go for glory and leave it all on the field with the boys!

More Ducks Signed: Four-star DL Prince Tavizon signs with Oregon football Three-star CB Trevon Watson signs with the Oregon Ducks

A new development that is taking place is Brian Hartline is going to become USF's new head coach. Ohio State already had one WR flipped by USC because of this.

The 3 star WR from Idaho appears to be in. What is going on with the east coast guys? They have no excuse, unless of course there is some ceremony at their high schools. The TE from NC not being in is concerning. Yes, I know......the sky is falling.

Let's hold our breath for that edge from Alabama. Tosh was his recruiter. Seems at this point that other programs may be using the coaching changes to get these commits to at least wait for the later signing day?

I could see this more from "Stein" recruits than Tosh's. Hopefully Dan and the remaining staff, culture, fit, facilities and the defending the Natty will sway them to stay committed.

Could be a West Coast thing. It’s only 7:00 AM.
