2022 5-Star Defensive Line Recruit Lebbeus Overton Announces College Commitment - Sports Illustrated Oregon Ducks News, Analysis and More WWW.SI.COM Overton was one of the top uncommitted prospects in 2022 Well, onto the next priority recruit.

Yeah, I have similar issues with commute up here in the Seattle area. I wasted 1-2 hours every day just in commute until I started working 100% remote.

Glad he's back to add depth. The team never specified the reason why he had to leave for a while, I'm going to guess maybe academics was the issue and that it improved to the point where he could return to the university.

The company I worked for was in the same boat. We had a COO who was staunchly against remote work and it took the pandemic to make it happen. The result was productivity was even higher when the company was 100% remote...so much that for most of the 1st year the company instituted a company-wide mandatory paid day off every other Friday because management was worried about employee burnout.

My personal fear is that getting 5* or high 4* recruits will require dumping a chest full of money to each every year. I don't really have much faith that NIL will be fixed any time soon and we're seeing very quickly that coveted players are becoming surrounded by seedy bidding wars. There are a limited number of high caliber blue chips out there and getting the right ones have likely become exponentially more difficult. I think what's going to happen is that unless Oregon starts shelling out like those other schools it will fall and perpetually stay as a 2nd tier football program...one that is successful but always just slightly out of reach of CFP level.

5-star OT predicted to pick USC Trojans over Oregon Ducks DUCKSWIRE.USATODAY.COM A flurry of new predictions don’t look too good when it comes to the recruitment of 5-star OT Josh Conerly. Looks like USC will be getting him.

The big thing to remember here is that star rankings are a rough evaluation of a football player's talent at the high school level, emphasis on "rough". A lot of what goes on when those ratings are calculated are subjective which is why results will never, ever be perfect. Subsequently you have to look at this from an aggregate level, which is what this on3 article is doing. 63% of 5 star players are drafted, according to them. Given the sheer number of college football players vs NFL roster availability, there's a pretty small percentage of players that make it...so in that context, 63% is a pretty high hit rate. Compare that with 4 star and 3 star rankings they list in the article: Assuming their numbers are accurate, a higher number of stars means you're more likely to get into the NFL but it's not a guarantee which the article does not say it is in any way.

If Nix gets the starting now it's highly likely we lose TT or Butters to the portal. This PWO is a 3* so it's a solid pickup.

I used to be on the fence about NIL with serious misgivings about how it was structured. Now that those concerns are starting to emerge, I have to say I'm now against it. I wish college football would go back to what it was before.

It's a healthy and sensible philosophy, and it makes sense given the youth in the coaching staff. Preaching learning and growth is something that seemed to be sorely lacking during Cristobal's tenure at Oregon.

That's a lot of faith that Sean Dollars stays healthy. Crossing my fingers on that

I think it may be unrealistic to expect regular top 5 ranked recruiting classes but I think it's definitely reasonable to expect classes within the top 12 year after year. Talent-wise that still puts Oregon in the same ballpark as other CFP contenders.

It would be a good fit for the Seahawks and Marcus...the added bonus would be Husky fans would lose their minds 😄

Don't count out Butterfield yet. If Dillingham is going to run a more pro-style offense, why wouldn't the only pro-style QB on Oregon's roster have a decent shot? Just saying he could be a dark horse contender come this Fall.

Maybe! Though when I was 17 I was all about pizza too...probably the reason why I didn't make it to being a pro tennis player 😛 lol

....pizza party?

Oh definitely 😄 I'm just staying a 33% successful sign rate on high 4* and 5* visitors is a number I can live with!

If Lanning signs any 2 from that list it would be a huge win.

I wonder if he's moving onto a bigger paper or maybe run his podcast full time?

Mitchell Agude, UCLA transfer and all-Pac-12 2nd team member is visiting this weekend, it would be a nice pick-up to help shore up the DL.

He has a top four of Miami (Fla.), Oregon...

This is a very interesting situation. For both teams, assuming Ward starts for WSU and Nix for Oregon...offenses will be headed by transfer QBs and new OCs who are already familiar with their respective signal callers.

Oh man I hope he's ok.
