Should the Ducks Fly With the Freakish 5-Star Athlete, Nyckoles Harbor?
Star ratings help and are a good general indicator of potential success at the college level. But that success is also dependent on development by coaching. Cristobal was not a good developmental coach.

Penalties in Holiday Bowl?
OBD had more than one penalty for too many men on the field. Players are not hustling off the field enough.

I really didn't need a shot to the ticker after all that Christmas ham but I'll take the win...

GameDay Thread for Holiday Bowl versus North Carolina: Join Us!
I can't faut the defense much so far. They're actually getting some pressure on the QB. The offense keeps putting them in bad situations.

Bo still doesn't look right when he runs. I think he still has an issue with that ankle

Absolute worst sequence of events I've ever seen to finish a half.

Do Any of These Potential Pac-12 Expansion Targets Interest You?
I'd take 4 teams: SDSU - Need the South Cali media market Fresno St - Competitive 10 win team plus a Cali media market UNLV - LV media market plus we have the Pac12 championship there every year SMU - Texas recruiting exposure

5-Star Safety Peyton Bowen Committed to Oregon on Wednesday, but Snags Develop...
Friday is the last day for early signing period.

Interesting: Presley and Hicks Have NOT Signed Yet....
Would LOVE to see a defensive line with Hicks and Matayo, what a nightmare for opposing teams.

5-Star Safety Peyton Bowen Committed to Oregon on Wednesday, but Snags Develop...
Wow, this one was unexpected as I thought he was flipping to Oklahoma. Defense is getting better in a hurry!

Breaking: 5-Star Edge Matayo Uiagalelei has Committed to be a DUCK!!

Who Fills Out Oregon's QB Room Behind Bo Nix in 2023?
I'd like to see Hudson Card come in. He's got at least some good on field experience and has a couple eligible years for some continuity. Flipping Austin Novosad would be a great additional bonus on top of that. I just don't have confidence in TT to develop at this point, he's had multiple years to show some slight modicum of improvement and it just hasn't happened.

Today's Pac-12 Bowl Updates
Beavos are extremely motived and taking the Gators out behind the woodshed, very nice effort by Smith's team! Cougs are couging it...I hope they shake off those cobwebs during halftime.

Looking Like Dante Moore Is Going to UCLA
It sounds like the Kent State kid may be heading to UCLA. Assuming Bo comes back next season as well, Moore will need to think about who he'd rather tutor under for 1 season. I'd much rather learn from Nix IMO.
-
The Plot Thickens: UCLA QB Update
That instantly makes him the front runner for QB1. Moore needs to think real hard about this.

Transfer Portal: QUAAACK! Committed to Ducks
That makes getting Matayo Uiagalelei a crucial get for 2023.
-
LB Jestin Jacobs Game Changer for Ducks D?
Not necessarily a game changer but a step in the right direction assuming he is healthy. If he's really that good in both rush defense AND pass coverage then DL needs 3 of him...in that scenario that's a game changer.
-
Transfer Portal: A Listing of Ducks Who Have Entered
This one is painful. He was really good this past season and getting regular playing time.
-
Will the Transfer Portal Save Oregon Ducks Football?
The silver lining of DL using primarily the same guys as last season is that he's now able to see where the deficiencies are, particularly on defense. Then he can address them for the most part through the portal.
-
An Honest Transfer Posting...What Do You Think?
Mike Leach has a well known habit of publicly throwing his players under the bus. In his case, I don't mind players publicly calling him out. In fact I would encourage it.
-
Wouldn’t Count on Jurrion Dickey’s Commitment
As I've mentioned in the past, my feelings about NIL were on the fence at the beginning. As time goes on, I'm liking it less and less and now of the mind that it's ruining college football.

Prime Time's Salary Ranks 3rd in the Pac-12 at $5.9M, Just Ahead of DL at $4.85M
Kinda makes sense...lower tier schools like Colorado need to pay up more to attract talent. That being said, DL will probably get an extension and a raise by the end of year 2, particularly if the team shows improvement (especially on defense).

Are You Kidding Me? Slick Willie and Prime?
I think I just threw up a little in my mouth.

Justin Flowe to the Transfer Portal
Feels like a short-sighted decision on his part but good luck to him where ever he lands.
