5-star RB Richard Young locks in his final official visit and its with Oregon 247SPORTS.COM Big news for Oregon football and its recruiting efforts of five-star running back Richard Young out of Lehigh Senior High School in the state of Florida. Young announced He ditched tOSU for Oregon with his last official visit. Coach Dillingham and Locklyn are mentioned as the reasons why he's seriously considering our Ducks, it would be huge to reel in this recruit!

Kid would have to add about 30 lbs to survive in the college ranks....not impossible but a tall ask for someone who's listed at only 6'2" (and is likely an inch shorter than that)

True, though my gut tells me that if he hadn't gotten injured and led Oregon to at minimum a Rose Bowl win then at least 1 or 2 NFL teams would have taken a flier at him in the later rounds of the draft. If Russell Wilson hadn't transferred to Wisconsin and had all that success there, he wouldn't have been drafted in the 3rd round (or maybe not at all).

Oregon has five transfers named inside the Top 247 Transfer Rankings 247SPORTS.COM 247Sports has released its first-ever Top 247 Rankings for the NCAA Transfer Portal class of 2022. New Oregon head football coach Dan Lanning and the Ducks are well RB Mar'Keise Iriving at #48 CB Christian Gonzalez at #64 QB Bo Nix at #182 DT Sam Taimani at #190 DL Casey Rogers at #242 What do you think?

My thoughts on the floor and ceiling for Oregon if VA hadn't gotten injured pretty much line up with David's article. The worst result would have been a Pac12 championship and a possible Rose Bowl win. Best result a CFP appearance but a loss given how atrocious the defense was.

Unfortunately for them, unless a miracle happens they will field a terrible defense as well.

Oregon picks up receiver Caleb Chapman out of the transfer portal DUCKSWIRE.USATODAY.COM Dan Lanning picks up another transfer in Caleb Chapman, a former Texas A&M receiver and four-star recruit.

I thought I read somewhere that his personal worth is somewhere north of $100 million...

Whoops, autocorrect strikes again! Haha

They were nice wins for Utah, taking advantage of a distracted Oregon team with Cristobal leaving. Won't be the case for the next season!

You'll notice that Fischer doesn't explicitly deny knowing exactly how much A&M's NIL collective has and whether he uses that in his recruiting.

I'd love to see follow interviews with all those guys 😛

I don't know the fine details of the proposal but on the surface it sounds like a terrible idea.

TBH I couldn't care less about what the uniforms are worn on the field as long as the other team poops their pants every time Oregon walks onto it.

If Justin Flowe is back to full strength and stays healthy all season, the two of them will be a nightmare for opposing offenses. The only con? Noah is not likely to stay another year after this one, he'll be a top 10 or 20 pick, so the dynamic duo would be a one season wonder...

I wouldn't say this car is the "most beautiful" but my old 2008 Mazda RX-8 was certainly pretty good looking and so much fun to drive. I have a special affinity for it because it was the first car I bought on my own (brand new as well) after I graduated and got my first job. This car is why I'm fascinated by rotary engines.

USC's going to have problems mostly with their lines (especially on defense). While they might have good quality starters on the OL, depth right behind them is not very good. As soon as those starters wear out in the 2nd half or any of them get injured then USC gets into trouble.

Ideally you win both. That being said, I'd rather take a loss early in the season rather than late as you get time to make up for it with subsequent wins (Oregon plays Utah in the 2nd to last week of the regular season, right before the Beavos). While beating Georgia would come with all sorts of media coverage and glamour/prestige, the road still goes through Utah right now for a Pac-12 championship. If you don't win the conference, you don't have any shot at the CFP. Timing is also a huge factor when it comes to impressing recruits...imo a Pac-12 championship and an appearance in a CFP or NY6 game during the recruiting signing windows would have more impact than a win over Georgia way back in week 1.

Maybe. But if we take Dillingham's words literally and the offense he runs is indeed fast paced then I'd put more weight on a QB's ability to quickly read the defense and go through progressions. I'd say Butterfield is better than Thompson in that aspect right now, scrambling is certainly important but I think the QB just needs to be capable of scampering 10 yards to be enough of a threat...something both Thompson and Butterfield are able to do.

28 yards per catch? This kid lives on long bombs all day!

Oh man, I live in a 7 person household...2.5 bathrooms would be the absolute bare minimum to survive for us (and we do) lol

Harrison Taggart is impressive in this context given that he plays linebacker...

I'm not invested in the number of plays per game so much as the scoring average and consistency. If Dillingham's offense averages 38+ ppg and doesn't vary too much from game to game in this first season, that's a big step in the right direction.
