Is this something the Ducks have done before....at this level of frequency? It seems Lanning is turning recruiting "up to eleven."

This^ I also wanna see him lead in the locker room. Dana said last year was the first that he didn't have to kick someone out of the gym after practice. If Richardson wants to play in the league, that's what it's going to take.

Thanks for posting this!

2022 recruit.....does this have anything to do with Manning's injury progress, I wonder?

Hey, Stalin made the trains run on time, right?

It is amazing how injuries seem to hit certain players more than others. It's like some boxers who have "glass chin" syndrome that they just can't get over. Canton Kaumatule was another one

Lots of great points in this thread. I am a skeptical optimist....in other words, I wan't to see some improvements before I can confidently predict a conference championship. One unit not mentioned may seem to be a strength, but I wonder: offensive line. Hear me out.... MC and mini-me were supposed to be amongst the nation's best OL coaches. We had highly rated recruits throughout the 2 deep. I was expecting dominance. Instead I saw 2.5 yards and a cloud of dust. I saw QB's scrambling to make plays as protection broke down. Overall, an anemic offense. I suppose scheme could explain all of that. Or, as with most complex systems, the problems were multi-causal. If it is the latter, then OL execution was likely a significant factor. Now....we have a different offense that seems to require much different execution....from the same group. If system changes aren't enough to improve results, then we had better hope that Klemm is a far better coach than the last duo.

Their negative opinion of Junior Adams stems the from fact that he recruited better players than were on the roster at the time. Or, I should say maybe that he recruited guys that fit his style of play better. A couple of the highly rated WR's who subsequently dropped down the depth chart had parents who started griping to one of Dawgman.com site owners who then made it public on the board, IIRC. When the offense stalled out, some fans started casting aspersions toward Junior and the WR depth chart shuffle as a part of their criticism. That's why you get a comment like the one listed in this thread today that his omission is an improvement.

A pool or a pond? Seriously, I would ask him how in the world a head football coach can also manage family life. There is no way in heck that mine would happily not see me 80% of the time. And I am a miserable curmudgeon misanthrope. Dan seems like a great husband and father....amazes me.

Shaking Proctor from Iowa will be tough....if Klemm pulls that off it will be astounding.

Could we get the Kraken in a trade? Watching Stanley Cup playoffs is always illustrious of how much better of a product the NHL is compared to the NBA where only Game 7's merit my attention.

UO Athletics Building "The Jake" To Benefit Golf Programs - University of Oregon Athletics GODUCKS.COM The latest state-of-the-art UO athletics facility will be built on the grounds of Emerald Valley Golf Club, and is named for Peter and Jan Jacobsen. Hadn't seen this before.....very cool building dedicated to one of the best Ducks ever. I was ambling through Atlanta airport sporting colors one day and I hear a booming "Go Ducks" across the terminal...sure enough, Peter Jacobsen. Chatted me up for few minutes then we fist-bumped and went our separate ways. Very chill dude.

I wonder if NIL is available to walk-ons? Now that we have 4 specialists on the roster, presumably 5 with the long snapper, it would make sense to use NIL funds to pay them enough to remain walk-ons, freeing up those 5 schollies for other players. If allowed....presuming someone is actually enforcing any kind of rules at all.

In every era there are teams that are disciplined, and teams that are less so. I don't deny that today's world is self-obsessed (excuse me, brand-focused) and that makes the challenge harder, but some teams and coaches manage this aspect of culture better than others over the course of a season. Mario's teams weren't the most undisciplined I have seen at Oregon, but they were far from the least. As Bellotti often said, better errors of commission than errors of omission

Funny.....Cristobal's reaction to Hutson is identical to my man cave armchair rant to CRISTOBAL about not coaching THE TEAM to avoid those types of infractions.

Grace under pressure is universally awe-inspiring

At least the Timbers have a live one and actually slice a slab when they score....faux chainsaw is weak sauce.

Is it better than a recorded chainsaw?

Chapman has two seasons, I believe.

Wow....what a gesture from the head man! Thanks for posting Annie!

I wish he would go full Old School and adopt John Stockton's short shorts.

Politicians of every stripe are watching these two guys for rhetorical tips.

Me, too.....I'm a lurker on these threads since I struggle to comment knowledgeably. Unlike my football comments which routinely display maximum allowable academic prowess

A Ducks Wire story on one of the new punters indicated that Snee announced he is entering the portal. Apparently ST Coach Joe Lorig didn't see what he needed to see outta Snee?
