    State's Top Prospect Riley Williams Drops Ducks

    in Our Beloved Ducks

    Posted

    All of his schools of interest appear to have been east of the Rockies, except Oregon.  Sounds like being out-of-state was important to him.

     

    This may highlight another aspect of NIL......the prioritization of those dollars in the roster management process.   We have about 7 TE's on roster, how much of the budget are they willing to spend to get another one?

    #2 from that writer's perspective!

     

    "MariØ CristØbal’s slow-churn offense handcuffed the wideouts."

     

    "This is, however, an awfully high ranking for a group that has proven next to nothing. Hopefully a better plan of attack from the new staff can justify it."

     

    Unless we get fooled again, I don't think "hopefully" will apply.

     

     

    Imagine the Keith Moon offensive gameplan?  

     

    OK, I'm back.   As I posted in the similar thread, all I needed to see was the second half of the bowl game and the Spring Game to know that the scheme was issue, not the roster.  

    Kadyn Proctor Suddenly Drops Out

    I don't have subscriptions to the recruiting sites but I wonder what happened here.  One of the sites suggested that the Ducks had an outside chance of getting commitments this weekend from a trio of 5 stars, one of which was an OL, I believe?

     

    I wonder if that predicted OL was Proctor or a different recruit?

    Where Oregon is With Jaden Rashada

    He dropped his "final" 5 and Oregon wasn't in it.

     

    He did put the U but we are stacked at QB, not just our starter but our backups too.

     

    If he ultimately signs with us I think he could be a transfer candidate in the future.

     

    If he signs with us he in not playing right away, I would guess he would have to wait at least 1 year and maybe more and as high as he is ranked he probably won't want to wait.

    Oregon prefers Dante Moore over Rashada.  There's another 4 star kid they like better as well.

    Not sure how the scholarships work but does he still have one? Asking for a friend 🤣

    The article implies he does.  Mentions his addition brings the team up to 87 schollies.  Lanning probably figures there will be attrition between now and Gameday.

    MariØ   Hey...it works!  Thanks, ICamel.

     

    I appreciate stormrider's post for causing us to examine our priors once again.  I have nothing more to add that hasn't already been said.  I have been convinced by the collective wisdom of the Forum with Decorum's that we are in a better place with him in Miami.

     

    One piece of evidence for his elite level douchbaggery was the HATRED the rest of the Pac-12 coaches had for him.  I mean to deny college athletes spots on all-conference teams because their Coach is an A-hole is an amazing testament to his ability to be a sheep's bollocks.

    WHERE is the Most Inexpensive Place to Retire?

    in Our Beloved Ducks

    Quito Ecuador is beautiful, lots of English spoken, money goes a long way and may have the most desirable climate of anyplace I have ever been.  It is 75-80 degrees ever day of the year (10,000 feet above sea level).  You won't spend a lot on heating/cooling!  However, medical is sketchy.

     

    Panama, due to canal history and lots of US expats, has reasonably good health care, is US dollar-based and is seamless with SS & Medicare.  The coastal area are Florida-esque in terms of climate and critters.  In the hills, the climate is much milder.  Boquete is at nearly 4,000 feet.

    WHERE is the Most Inexpensive Place to Retire?

    Most countries in Europe have affordable rural towns and health care is affordable until Medicare kicks in....most EU countries have agreements with US Medicare to facilitate this.  If you are looking to buy property for retirement the EU makes sense since it is much cheaper.

     

    We are debating rural Austria vs. Oregon Coast for retirement HQ. Housing is about half price in Austria.  Of course, other things are higher like groceries, gas (fuhgeddaboutit), energy.  But Austria Switzerland and Germany are spendy compared to Italy, France, Spain and Portugal.  French-speaking Belgium is another affordable region where you get a lot of house for the buck.

     

    Dollar is about at its peak exchange now too.
