  1. Then you'll want to avoid Texas lol
  2. At the very least it will help teams make high school recruiting a bit more predictible...
  3. KT is simply pointing out the obvious out loud. I mean you could tell Mario lost the team in the last 3 weeks of the season based on how they were performing.
  4. I don't think Dillon intentionally tried to make a dirty play but he went at Payton in an extremely aggressive and sloppy way, an ejection was warranted. Hopefully he learns something from this.
  5. One has to wonder how Husky fans are trying to spin their sour grapes regarding Adams right now.
  6. I also liked how he celebrated with the make-a-wish kid on stage, that was fun to watch!
  7. I saw this article earlier this morning and agree with just about all of it save one small point where the author thinks Ty has the slight lead for QB2. Based on what I saw in the Spring game I think Butters has the lead for primary backup at the moment.
  8. I like Rashada but 6'4" and 175 lbs?? Someone get that kid a sandwich!
  9. Bladder control issue?? Or perhaps an unhealthy addiction to overly spicy food?
  10. He was busy fighting off pancreatic cancer 😓 Thankfully it seems that he has a very optimistic prognosis and recovery going on, sending good thoughts to an excellent Oregon duck! Jaylon Redd had pancreatic cancer, but now he’s ready to chase his NFL dreams: ‘I’m ready to go’ WWW.OREGONLIVE.COM After successful surgery in January, Redd has been working his way back into physical condition in hopes of catching on with an NFL team.
  11. I echo others here that it's likely DL is rotating the QBs for a couple reasons: continued and fair evaluation for each with comparable personnel to work with and to keep each engaged to minimize transfer risk. That being said, I think it can't be discounted that maybe Butters is starting to flourish in the kind of offense Dillingham is putting together. He's the only pro-style QB (top 5 in his recruiting class) in what's claiming to be a fast-tempo pro-style system, plus he has an extra year in the college ranks over TT.
  12. This kid's build reminds me of Juwan Johnson, big receiver that will cause all sorts of matchup problems for DBs, great pickup. Reclassifying as 2022 is great for the WR depth but I was under the impression that Oregon's at their scholarship limit. Does that mean we'll see a transfer soon?
  13. I do agree that kids and many adults can make questionable decisions. But I'd like to think that blue chips that were/are ranked as high as Justin typically have a reasonable support system around them to help make the best practical choices, otherwise he probably wouldn't have gotten to 5* status or survived this long into his collegiate career. Leaving a perennial Pac12 championship (and fringe CFP) contender with prime choice defensive coaches for a Miami program in a complete rebuild phase would seem to be an easily identified bad choice for him.
  14. Having to play the defending national champions the 1st game of the season should at least warrant a top 25 rank on SoS...I don't know what these writers are smoking 😛
  15. I think that despite the local cultural anti-Ducks spirit here in the state, the overall lack of success by the UW football program during the last 20 years is now breaking the mentality of "Oregon is bad no matter what" for local recruits. There are very few blue chips that would want to play for a local program that's been at best mediocre during their formative years and that vaunted "(shared) national championship history" is so far in the rear-view mirror that it really doesn't factor much at all in the consciousness of today's high schoolers. Sam Huard is there primarily because his dad was a Fusky. Five years is already a long time for a high school recruit in terms of history; 20+ is multiple generations ago and just isn't relevant to them anymore.
  16. I doubt he would leave. He'd be jumping ship from a head coach who just won a national championship as a DC along with the current DC who's also won a national championship as a DC. As a defensive player it just doesn't get much better than that.
  17. He may break into the two-deep but not starter. He needs to add at least 20lbs first and dragging out his recruitment to April prevented him from important experience with Spring workouts.
  18. Wooooah, color me genuinely shocked and pleasantly surprised. Coached Klemm earned his paycheck this month!
  19. Bingo. Insofar as 2022, 2023 success I would surmise a 10 win 2022 season and a Pac-12 championship in 2023 would be fertile enough grounds to attract some of those blue chippers. That being said, NIL money may be the key to getting those top tier recruits. I don't like saying it or thinking about it but looking at it from a pragmatic standpoint.
  20. Probably a good example of this is his tolerance of Grayson Allen. That kid would have been kicked off most other teams for his horrendous behavior.
  21. I saw that and was amazed. I don't know what his 40 times were when he was actively playing for Oregon but it feels like he's even faster than before despite the injuries he's had. Extremely impressive, I hope he at least signs as a free agent somewhere...I'd love to see him get onto special teams as a punt returner and take one to the house!
  22. That's unfortunate to see but understandable. OL is one of the places where there's solid depth and experience so playing time might be hard to come by for him, I wish him well and hope he lands at a good place.
