    I continue to have some concern about development of what appears to be high level talent coming out of high school.

    Some coaches do have the ability to lift players ability's and some don't. Utah does have that ability however USC, right now does not. I would like to see more of that ability here at Oregon and am hoping Joe Moorhead and our new defensive coach can bring that about. MC by himself does not seem to be really great at it.

    Huge baseball fan here. In fact it's my favorite sport. I played a couple years at Lane Community College before being cut by the Beavers after transferring up to Corvallis.

    Ducks baseball has been really inconsistent over the past several years. They were looking good early on in their first few years but they have never been able to put together a solid offensive effort for a sustained period of time.

    Their pitching has often been pretty decent though. Yovan offers a good dose of both. He is one of the best players the Ducks have put forward since their return to the diamond. 

    Question is whether there are other pitchers who can lock down opposing teams. I was high on Peyton Fuller coming out of high school, maybe that is because he was my neighbor in Ashland, but he is a big kid with a pretty strong arm. I am hoping he steps up big time this coming season. 

    I am always up for talking baseball. I look forward to more articles in the future.

    C.J. feel free to start a baseball topic or two in the forum. We'd love to here more baseball from you.

  3. Coach Graves:

    "I think it did her some good to take the weekend off and she probably shouldn't have played her on Friday, but we did, because she hadn't practiced all week. We just made that decision today going because it wasn't worth it and we need to get her healthy."

    Coach Graves should know better then to play an injured player. Bad decision. He doesn't make many but he did on this. 

  4. The Oregonian just stated that Byron Cardwell committed to Oregon, and likely clinches Pac-12 Conference recruiting title. 

    Per The Oregonian:
    For more than a year it has been clear the Oregon Ducks football program was poised to sign a historic 2021 recruiting class. The interest from high-level prospects was apparent early, and the West Coast featured enough talent to ensure a top-10 finish if Mario Cristobal and his coaching staff could capitalize.

    In December that mission was largely realized, as Oregon signed 21-of-21 verbal commitments to secure the top recruiting class in program history, a collection of talent rated No. 6 nationally.

    And people wonder why there is so much cynicism towards the NCAA and their insistence this is all amateur athletics. 🙄

    With the money the NCAA makes off of college sports, I think they know it's not "amateur athletics" as you and I would understand it. However it's amateur athletics as they would like to understand it.
