Since USC pundits doesn’t have anything positive to say about their program they have to commiserate over Oregon’s success lol Recruiting losses to Oregon are getting very old for USC TROJANSWIRE.USATODAY.COM It’s a broken record, and it’s not going to stop this summer.

I wonder what caused Akili to drop so much in the rankings?

Both brutal and hilarious lol https://athlonsports.com/college-football/lincoln-riley-selected-most-overrated-college-football-head-coach "74-18 is an impressive record, but a case can be made that his teams regress each season," Farrell said. "He inherited a loaded OU program from Bob Stoops, made some playoff appearances but fell off in 2020 and 2021. And with a Heisman quarterback, he’s only 19-8 through two seasons at USC, and his team took a big step backward last year."

+1 on this. In one of those Texas football podcasts on YouTube, one of the commentators mentioned that he had actually spoken to Dakorien Moore's mother and she said that Oregon's NIL offer was *not* the highest bid. That's direct evidence to back up that Oregon tends to provide the most *complete* package, not the necessarily the highest cash amount. It also shows that Moore and his family are smart and recognize that.

He hasn't had much of a chance to show what he can do so far, so concluding his career after a couple of small spots of playing time would seem to be jumping the gun to me.

I think we can afford to wait and see with Dante, he started too early and in an offense that just wasn't designed for his skillset (not to mention a bad offensive line). I think he's got the skills and maturity to become something really good, Austin Novasad as well. It's going to be fun watching them compete for the starting job in 2025 (I wouldn't sleep on Luke Moga either, that kid is just uber talented physically speaking).

The thought occurred to me that we could possibly have at least three five star receivers on the field for 2025/2026...likely some combination of Dickey, Dallas Wilson, Gaitlin Bair, and Dakorian Moore. That just blows my mind.

This is so terribly tragic. Thinking good thoughts to Khyree's family in this difficult time...

If any of those SUC fans really think Oregon's going to stop pillaging their backyard they're in for a seriously rude awakening.

I had a gut feeling he was going to pick OBD despite what the prognosticators were saying about Texas. He expressed in an interview a desire to strike out a path of his own. Combine that with the fact that he visited Eugene several times already and it led to Sark being toast. 😃

That's also not surprising since he's the new guy and probably learning a whole new playbook from scratch. We'll know more once they make it through Fall training camp.

You know your program has reached a really sad level when Oregon not getting a recruit is considered some kind of moral victory. Oregon fails to add new linebacker, a relief for USC TROJANSWIRE.USATODAY.COM USC did not add a player, but neither did Oregon.

Another thing that I've pointed out to Fuskies that they can't stand is that DeBoer has been coaching for eons and could only muster 3 point wins over DL who was only in his 1st and 2nd years as an HC. They point out that DeBoer won so it doesn't matter. I point out (correctly) that the trend for the next 5 years favors DL.

Meanwhile in Trojan land...

This USC call in show is so thick with entitlement and hubris I had to turn it off after just 15 minutes. They're completely clueless and OBD lives rent free in their heads.

A Taiwanese news service picked up on the article and put their digital animators to work on it. The result is by far my most favorite retelling of Kaelin Clay's snafu lol

Mario did him dirty with terrible QB development. It felt like he was finally making progress under Dillingham and a bit under Stein. I wouldn’t be surprised if he has a solid season at Tulane.

In other words, a faster version of Royce Freeman? YES PLEASE!

I might check out a couple USC forums to see how much vitriol he's getting for an absolute disaster of a week for recruiting.

Not the first time Oregon swiped the No.1 recruit in Cali! Lincoln Riley must be pooping his pampers right now.

Watching it again there's a hidden little gem at the 0:33 mark. If you look out the office window a tiny UW logo is stuck looking through the window of the building in the distance 🤣

Ok I actually laughed out loud at that one, nice!

When Harbaugh left I originally thought they'd take a big hit on defense but since then I've had to re-evaluate that position since they made a very good hire at DC. The offense however will take a step back, primarily because they're having to replace both QB and the OL....that's a lot to adjust to at once. OBD will have to deal with that in 2025.

Trey McNutt would be a big boost to the defensive backfield. I'll take 5* safties any day of the week!

If OBD make the CFP and have a good showing (i.e. win 2-3 games) then I don't doubt recruiting 5* guys will become visibly easier.
