Wow. This will be fascinating to watch, as his offer group is entirely from Group-of-Five schools, with Oregon being the only Power-Five conference school to offer this unranked (Rivals) prospect. Will he have a great senior season and be offered by other P5 schools and be upgraded? Is this a super-interesting diamond-in-the-rough player to watch?

Precisely.

So much for us to learn about it yet, as we don't officially have anything...just hearsay of those in the room.

All the wins over the years over the Trojans between on the field and recruiting has really got into the heads of USC fans. Their forums are full of Oregon threads, and they do NOT like how well the Ducks are recruiting. Even with the set-backs lately, Oregon leads USC in recruiting, and to them? It is just not right! (No. 6 vs. No. 18) At the bottom are posts about Oregon, and before that are quotes from our departing friends in the south... --------------------------------------------------- "Their recruiting is weak now, even with NIL, they can’t secure the 5 stars that visit them, then they cry and call themselves bridesmaid U, they have 4 more commits than usc but still have a lower average per player rating." "Respectfully, too many posts about a program that has no national championships! This is ridiculous. Oregon this, Oregon that, who gives a chit. Lol!" "They’ll still land solid players. They’ll be the team that punches above their weight class given NIL & a strong recruiting staff. (regardless of HC) Nevertheless, they won’t bring in top 5-7OVERALL recruiting classes on a consistent basis when they're not in one of the two dominant conferences." "I would say for every one USC thread on the Oregon board, there are 3 or 4 Oregon threads on the USC board. It’s a little embarrassing." "As much as we don’t want to admit it, Oregon has come a long way. There are about 10 threads on the 1st 2 pages related to them….you guys wouldn’t do this if they weren’t a threat to us. If I’m a Duck fan, I’m using our obsession of them as fapping material." "Division street is arguably the best collective out there since it’s inception. Oregon will be fine with player retention. Although I don’t think they’ll recruit well enough to be a perennial power given that they’ll be in the non power 2 conference." "Oregon recruiting will never be a problem .Meanwhile, we keep making them our bar and rage when they get one of our targets. Looking forward to the new receipts of unbearable excuses when the flip happens. It's time to pivot from comparing ourselves to a team that will not matter to us in '24 and finally install the '24 B1G bar to see where we stack up." "The best payback will be beating them at their Duck pond. All this other stuff is just smoke and mirrors."

Welcome to the forum, and do share your thoughts often!

My Duck-Buddy....I will bet you two drinks at the Pre-USC Game OBD Party that it will NOT be streaming only. The Pac-12 is trying to be innovative, but they're... We will have games on TV, and we'll have a year to figure out how to make it all work easily switching. I have a set-up in the FishDuck ManCave, where I press two buttons and switch from TV to computer. Easy.

One pundit was stating that this is in the formula, that winning is rewarded a higher payout.

IMHO, that is a "blah-blah" article that reviews the points we already know. Taking shots at streaming? We don't even know what the Tier Two rights are, and we WILL have games on linear TV as the streamer sells Tier Two rights for TV. Please everyone...before you make a judgment, get upset, panicked... And we don't have them yet.

Ten bucks a month? The cheapest entertainment, and the BEST in my life. It is what I LOVE...Our Beloved Ducks!

Yep. I wish everyone would wait for the FACTS, and then judge it. We have no idea what the linear or Tier 2 will pay yet, and this can certainly add to our revenue as can additional subscribers as Happy mentioned.

Whoever created it is very knowledgeable of the situation and how it all works. And they hit me with some off-the-wall stuff that I thought was pretty funny.

Not yet anyway...

Before people ask...."the offensive line is different," I was respond with how four of the starters I see on the O-Line are quite experienced in the Dilly/Stein offense, and I categorize it that way because Stein and Lanning have said that there is a ton of cross-over in both offenses. QB recruits recently have said the same thing about the similarities, so I expect we will see the same plays as last and some new wrinkles thrown in that are Stein's twist to it.

Oregon was the 10th highest scoring in the nation last year at nearly 39 points a game. (38.8) My goal for Stein is 40 points per game, of which would be a modest improvement--of which I would be over-the-moon-over and more than happy with that. Can that happen? Yes, because I actually think Stein has more weapons this year than Dilly had. (Hear me out!) For Stein...he loves many of the same pulling-power plays as Dilly. He likes the same strategy of "fooling-them" once in a while, but the difference is that Stein likes to throw long more often. I believe he has more deep threats than Dilly had, as Franklin was just learning he could catch a bomb and now knows he can. I believe Gary Bryant Jr. and Traeshon Holden are also deep threats. This is really going to open up the running game, and the mid-level drag routes across the middle more. Our tight ends could clean-up, and thus this could be a more balanced offense since Helfrich and highly prolific. If you have doubts about Stein....read my article below. Will Stein: Oregon's New OC and Miracle-Maker? FISHDUCK.COM The title looks like classic hype to promote a blah-blah article, or serves as typical web click-bait. Yet those of you who have watched my videos and read my…

A group shot of the B1G mascots, and look who is snuck into the top row?

If Stein can coach like he can recruit....it's another great hire by Dan Lanning. (And based upon what he did last year at UTSA with a terrible offensive line--I know he can coach.)

Eugene Safety Bryce Boettcher (below) has been moved to Inside Linebacker, and I am guessing to the MONEY position, since it requires more speed. I think he is perfect there, as he has the bulk and the interest in hitting needed at that position. JJ Greenfield is not on the roster, and Coach Lanning confirmed he is no longer with the team. Below is the roster supplied yesterday at the Media events.

The questions are...what is it, and WHEN?

Look, you know me. I am always looking to find some humor through the darkest, and this is pretty good.

Wait a minute...another video of Ohio State's Brutus with The Duck? I recognize that waterfall at Autzen... Is this a gradual buildup of joining the B1G? Could that be what Dan is smiling and so confident about? Perhaps the "big vision" statement issued by Rob Mullens was in reference to that? Are we fans being played...in a positive way? Or...
