The KING of the one-liners strikes again!

People are allowed to write whatever they want on this forum....even if they keep saying the same thing over-and-over in different ways. There are some relevant facts: --The B1G has big problems to solve, thus they are DONE inviting teams for now. --Oregon has no invitation, and thus will not for five years. --The Ducks have a real opportunity to increase their value to any conference, by growing the audience size via streaming, and through winning with Dan Lanning over the next five years. --Oregon will make their selection in five years independent of what we, on this forum, think. --This whole discussion is MOOT for five years. Stating the same stuff about the B1G versus the Pac-12 does not convince anyone further, since most of us will follow whatever Oregon decides later. But you can....

No need to join Twitter; between us all--we bring the relevant ones of Oregon football to you....and there are a TON over time. Those are not affected by the changes at Twitter unless a tweet takes you to Twitter to read it, which does happen on occasion. You will be able to see most right here in the forum--thanks to Pennsylvania Duck and NJDuck and a few others.

Da’Jaun Riggs, a Rivals 3-Star is up for his verbal today at about 11:30 AM PST, and this is a classic example of our coaches getting excited about a player when the rating services are meh about him. Coach Locklyn wants this guy, and considering the talent he has recruited to the running back room? I think we should pay heed to him. Remember that Noah Whittington was a 2-Star receiver originally at Western Kentucky when Locklyn brought him in there. He can evaluate talent...

My Duck-Buddies...I cannot restrain myself when it comes to the discussion of what Lanning and staff did in Portal recruiting. They did not just plug the holes on defense, but brought in players who could fill the freak roles needed so badly? Whew! Take the JACK linebacker example alone; that guy is the biggest freak out there, and super-hard to acquire, yet Lanning got two of them in Burch and Matayo Ug. Last year we saw that Mase Funa could set the edge, but he could not cover RBs out of the backfield, and his pass rush was...inadequate. Bradyn Swinson was decent at the pass-rush, but not great...could not set the edge, but he could cover the RBs. DJ Johnson was OK at the pass rush, (not great) could cover the RBs, but could not set the edge. We had no player who could do all three, let alone do them well. Hence the massive recruiting for this player where we had the 12 players for this spot going into Spring Football, (to find out who can do it!) and Lanning got two for sure at this point. And his commitment is to have many of them, hence the opposing offense cannot load-up and triple team the one great edge rusher, as teams did with Thibs. It is one thing to create a defense that requires freaks; it is another thing to go out and get the freaks needed to run the defense, and Lanning did.

I have a Twitter that I NEVER go on, but am signed in. No big deal signing up for one...so this way I can see all tweets on the official Oregon Twitter accounts. Even then--the article above makes reference to actually going to Twitter to simply read tweets. Even then, the limit is after reading a couple of hundred, so it really does not apply here. We are not doing that; we bring the tweets and load them into a thread for you. But--I just checked the top post in an Incognito Window, (which means the web does not know who/where I am or coming from) and I can still see the top post in this thread. Usually if there is a video and you click on it--it will operate without going to Twitter, although sometimes--it does want that.)

And, and, and....to think he had a TON to prove when he showed up and had to play an incredible amount of "catch-up" with recruits, to establish himself and get them to forget Klemm? Hard to do... But now he is bringing in tons of 2025 and 2026 potential recruits and establishing a rapport, a relationship that will yield even more in future years?

Look...I had no idea. No team has two, let alone three safeties among the leaders in the conference? My Duck-Buddies, this fits right in with a monster article I've written on FishDuck that will publish Monday morning. Remember those three below...unbelievable portal recruiting!

If he gets 5-Star Brandon Baker and 4-Star Preston Taumua as some think might happen--he solidifies his position as a young-stud recruiter at Oregon. We took a breath when he was hired, but he is showing again to trust Lanning in his hiring!

JacQawn McRoy is ranked No. 50 and a 3-Star at Rivals, but it is quite possible that by the end of his senior season--he could be upgraded to 4-Star, as we have seen that occur already on Rivals with the Lanning class. Bottom line is that the coaches love his ability to move, and with that size--he could be quite potent. He was offered by Clemson, Miami, and 10 SEC teams including Florida, LSU and Georgia! If I am one of the two QB verbals for Oregon....I am pretty happy to have this behemoth protecting me!

Luke Moga could end up being the ultimate sleeper recruit, like that 3-Star guy from Hawaii, or the 3-Star guy from Eugene who only had offers from Montana State, Portland State and Oregon!

So, Jac’Qawn McRoy is ranked as the No. 3 Offensive Tackle in the nation by 247 Sports? 2024 Top Offensive Tackle Recruits 247SPORTS.COM The 247Sports rankings are determined by our recruiting analysts after countless hours of personal observations, film evaluation and input from our network of scouts. And yet No. 50 at Rivals? Whew! I'm going with the coaches on this one... Rivals.com 2024 Offensive tackle N.RIVALS.COM The definitive source for all Rivals news.

Trust me: we know precisely what we are doing...

Isn't it wonderful that the Huskies have moved up to No. 43 in the recruiting rankings? 2024 Washington Huskies football commitment list WASHINGTON.RIVALS.COM The definitive source for all Washington news. Not a single player from the state of Washington yet because....the best ones are coming to Oregon!

A Husky fan is feeling his oats...and an Oregon fan responds....

We are hoping that Edge-Rusher, Elijah Rushing commits to the Ducks on Thursday, as he is one of nation’s best--and would be an huge victory for this recruiting class if he announces his verbal to Oregon. Remember, Oregon has a massive stretch of recruiting announcements in the first two weeks of July that is a game-changer! Saturday, July 1 at 2:30 PST: Offensive Tackle, Jac’Qawn McRoy 6'8" 365 Rivals 3-Star (Verballed!) Monday, July 3 at 11:30 PST: Running Back, Da’Jaun Riggs Rivals 3-Star Thursday, July 6 at 2:00 PST: Edge Rusher, Elijah Rushing, Rivals 4-Star Friday, July 7 at TBD, Linebacker, Dylan Williams, Rivals 4-Star Monday, July 10 at TBD time: Linebacker Kamar Mothudi, Rivals 4-Star Sunday, July 16 at 10:30 AM PST: Offensive Lineman, Preston Taumua, Rivals 4-Star (The No. 1 player of all positions for the State of Hawaii)

You settled before all the components of streaming were brought into play. You will regret your contract before it is over... All that matters is that we have a contract before expiration date that is the best we can achieve. And we will, and it will be superior to the Big-12 media contract. See? The Pac-12 can talk trash too... The Big-12 and all their hacks...

Wait for judgement until it happens, please. 1. The B1G contract was signed a year before it took effect, which is about where we are with ours in the Pac-12. But wait! The B1G have new complications that have to be solved in two months? 2. You are a Big-12 fan, thus your trolling means nothing to us. We will have a superior contract to yours when it is done, and all of you will fade away....

The end analysis for me? I look at the incredible job Will Stein did this last year with an injured, incompetent offensive line setting records, AND my faith in Dan Lanning. He knows how to hire, and I believe we will score points this year just like last year.

He is now a school principal and football coach, so former FishDuck analyst Jeremy Mosier does not have the time to do analysis articles any longer. But before his football fall camp began--he made the video below that is just so fun and awesome. Play highlights of recent years, last year and of the Mariota years. It tugs at your hearts my Duck-Buddies!

John Canzano suggested a couple of items to ponder with the announcement.... 1. No surprise, as this is what has been expected. 2. Perhaps the Pac-12 wants receive the 2024 windfall to pay off the 50 million debt due a split of 10 ways versus 12? Bring in SDST and SMU for 2025 instead of right now? 3. "It could be that the Pac-12 presidents and chancellors simply don’t think like you and I do. It could also be that they’re simply sticking to a strict order of operations — TV deal first, expansion second — and they’re not done with the media part. Or it could be that they’ve discovered a financial advantage to waiting another year to invite two new members." My fellow Duck-Buddies....No. 3 suggested by Canzano might actually make the most sense. Those damn egghead University Presidents, "simply don't think like you and I do." Yep, they know what they're doing...

Trust me, the Pac-12 knows what they're doing...

This is going to be so interesting to watch, and adds to the drama of the future. If this young man has the mental intangibles discussed above along with the incredible physical attributes? He could be the best QB ever at Oregon. Calm down Charles!

AMEN Duck Brother. When Clemson won 'Nattys in a weak ACC...nobody cared about their conference because the Tigers had great teams who beat the best in the Playoffs. In the end, the prestige of the conference does not matter; all the matters is Our Beloved Ducks!
