From what I have read on recruiting sites is that this Oregon class isn't going to be about getting a lot of recruits as the roster is quite full and will continue to be full. So the focus is going to be more on big time players that fit Oregon's needs. Lanning will use the portal to fill some holes and he has done a fantastic job in doing so so if we miss out of any players we want on the prep recruiting side of things there is a chance we get someone from the portal. This is a super exciting time to be a Duck.

I think Deion is a bit of a helicopter parent.

Kids need support, but t h ey also need to learn self control, self discipline, and how to fight through adversity on their own, among other things.

The Helicopter parents aren't as bad as the Lawnmower parents. Hanging around questioning everything is bad, making sure junior never trips up, fails is criminal to a young persons development. Let them fail, figure out how to struggle on their own, within their peer group!

Oregon Ducks Football Battling Ohio State On The Recruiting Trail The heat of competition isn't just on the gridiron for the University of Oregon's football program.

Oregon Ducks Football Battling Ohio State On The Recruiting Trail WWW.SI.COM The University of Oregon's football program is making impressive strides in the offseason, competing with its cross-country rivals, the Ohio State Buckeyes.

I’ll miss Utah. If the conference genie granted me a “one team to go with wish” sorry bevis it's all Utes,

I will always remember Smith for one other reason... My son was part of what was then known as, TEAMWORK", a work/study group of Oregon students who assisted the football coaches and team with various jobs around the AD (my boy was under the supervision of coach Zoumboukos). He was allowed to bring me to Oregon home games as a guest. We usually entered through the tunnel after the team on game day. The first time I became aware of the strength of Akili sr's arm was one such occasion. As we reached the mouth of the tunnel, qbs were warming up, from about the 20 yard line. AS threw a pass that the intended receiver failed to catch. It went through the end zone and nailed me about 2" above my sternum. Despite the fact I was wearing multiple layers, I found out after the game I now had about a 3" diameter bruise on my chest. Never forgot that experience.

Who knew? Baltimore vs KC in the playoffs. Both starting RBs played their college ball at Rutgers. If you're good the NFL will find you. With NIL and tampering in today's CFB world a breakout RB from any program has to be on the radar of teams with bigger pocketbooks. NJ, thanks for all of the terrific posts.

Pac-12. RIP the Rodney Dangerfield of the college sports world.

I brought it up, because I have heard of quite a few problem parents for coaches in the past. Something plausible to ponder in the long off-season…

I try not to look for stuff to worry about. I doubt that Sr. will be a problem, and I trust Dan Lanning to handle the problem in an appropriate manor if it should arise in the future.

But I will always remember Akili for this...(the winning points) And this!

I have thought about this before...how a notable alum and player could be a problem for our coaches. Akili was a QB coach for hire, and I believe counseled prior players at Oregon. He is a great fan, and has a very talented son who will sign as a QB this December for Oregon. In fact "Jr." was up here this weekend to help recruit the big group of recruits to OBD, so I love how he is helping the staff. But could a consultant who-has-a-Duck-in-the-fight be an issue later? Playing time? NIL? The complexities of being a college coach these days---whew!

Oregon ended up third in the conference, by only a game. The Ducks were picked to be fourth in the pre-season, and I cannot complain as we had our chances a ton of times where a game would slip through our fingers. We lost three one-run games where we left multiple runners on bases to end innings in those losses, where one hit wins the game and our conference. (We had the tiebreaker on Arizona, as Oregon won that series) We play in the conference tournament on Wednesday against Utah at 2:30, and USC on Thursday at 2:30 in our three-team pod. Oregon needs to do well, to assure our spot in the NCAA tournament, as last year our conference had two very good teams that should have been in the tournament, but were left out. Even though the Pac-12 has won more Baseball 'Nattys than all the other conferences combined....we don't get enough respect. Imagine that!
