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. Mitchell Agude, UCLA transfer and all-Pac-12 edge-rusher, visiting Oregon Ducks this weekend WWW.OREGONLIVE.COM UCLA senior defensive end/linebacker Mitchell Agude is visiting Oregon this weekend. 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.

I'm not married to that number...I care more about the offense being more balanced, creative, and efficient. If it's moving the chains with cold, calculated precision that demoralizes the other team over 3 quarters then I'm good with that.

I'm genuinely excited about this visit. DL is one place where Oregon has not traditionally and consistently recruited well (KT not withstanding). I'd be through the moon if the Ducks could pull in a high 4-star or 5-star DT though...

When I got accepted to attend the UO 😄

I don't think Lanning really had a choice in the matter. Pre-Nix there was virtually no in-game experience in the QB room after Brown graduated...add to that the now obvious revelation that QB development wasn't much of a focus during Cristobal's time and you have a precarious situation for the offense.

Could be another Gardner Minshew scenario.

35+ ppg on offense with balance in the running and passing games. 18-20 ppg on defense with lots of pressure on the QB. Most important above all is consistency. If the games are close with legit opponents, that's fine but curb stomp lesser competition like they should. I think given all the moving parts in a transition season the ceiling is a PAC12 championship. CFP is a possibility the season after.
