According to Rivals, Our Beloved Ducks have 14 verbals...and it is not even July 1st yet! Of them, we have 12 that are 4/5-Stars with only two that are 3-Stars. That is an incredible ratio, and frankly I would not want to quit recruiting "projects" because of how well it has worked out for Oregon in the past. The Two 3-Star Players: Matthew Johnson, DE, 6'5" 250 Offers from Miami, Michigan, Ole Miss, Notre Dame, USC and Washington. (Ha!) Demetri Manning, 6'7" 330 and from Bellevue, Washington Offers from Arkansas, Miami, Florida St, Florida, USC, and Washington! Our coaches saw upside, and so did some other good coaches! Oregon's recruiting class is currently ranked 7th in the nation, but it is very fluid. What is impressive is the average ranked recruit at 3.93!

Brew was predicted pretty strongly to go to the Buckeyes!

Oregon lands commitment from five-star CB Dorian Brew 247SPORTS.COM Oregon continues its rampage in recruiting by landing five-star CB Dorian Brew.

He lives only 2.75 hours from Texas A&M and while Oregon had the advantage, the word is that he might be leaning now toward the Aggies. For some--this is another important recruit for the class as we need linebackers for depth. He is a Rivals 4-Star, and one that Lanning covets.

This new Duck is from Conroe, Texas and everyone thought he was going to the Longhorns! He is a Rivals 4-Star and had other offers from Ohio State, Michigan, LSU, Georgia, Notre Dame, and USC! Dorian Brew | DuckSportsAuthority N.RIVALS.COM Dorian Brew - 2025 4 Star Cornerback for Conroe (Conroe, TX) on Rivals.com I think Sark is throwing darts at a picture of Dan Lanning right now! (Two taken from Texas within 24 hours? Whew!)

If you want to see some highlights, I have the video qued up to where they begin. No doubt a great pass-catching tight end...

Oregon Football Recruiting: 4-Star DL Josiah Sharma Commits to Ducks WWW.SI.COM A big day on the recruiting front for Dan Lanning and company as Oregon Football grabs a pair of commitments, including 4-star defensive lineman Josiah Sharma.

This was a very important recruit, as we missed on another high-end TE in this cycle. Word is...he was "All-Oregon" and then Tennessee made a big pitch and turned him to Knoxville. Oregon found out at the last minute yesterday that they had lost him, and apparently went back to the bargaining table. (NIL) It is unfortunate there are no rules at the moment, yet it is nice to be the one out-bidding a major SEC program for once. (Well, maybe twice in the last 24 hours, as Sharma was set to Texas until just hours before his announcement) Brame is a Rivals 4-Star, and as many analysts have stated...."can do it all." He is precisely what we needed to replace Terrance Ferguson, although we do need another TE in this class to replace Patrick Herbert as well. His major offers, summarizing, besides Oregon and Tennessee were...Alabama, Michigan, LSU, Oklahoma, Penn State, and Ole Miss.

I'm sure he'll figure it out...

This is a big benchmark win for Oregon, as we have not recruited the best running backs out of high school in a very long time. Davison is the No. 2 RB in the nation, so this is a win that cannot be overstated.

As stated in another post--he is rare, in that he is a Rivals 5-Star, yet 4-Star with the rating services who do not rate as tough as Rivals, IMHO. Oregon beat out another offer list that is elite of Alabama, Georgia, Florida State, Michigan, Notre Dame, Ohio State, Penn State and Texas. Head-spinning recruiting!

Whew!

When another D-Tackle we were pursuing, (Trajen Odom) verballed to Ohio State, then Oregon put the finishing blast on for Sharma. Yet this guy is a Rivals 4-Star, and he was offered by Michigan, Alabama, Georgia, USC, Washington and in particular--everyone thought he was a lock to Texas. Big recruiting win!

Another one?

OK my FishDuck Friends, the video below is short, incredibly funny, and might be a little raunchy in one spot. But we're adults here and can handle it. Besides the rest is too much fun...

The Ducks may get a QUAAACK from one of the best running backs in the nation today, and something surrounds him that I have not seen before. Rivals is known to have tougher grading for awarding the stars and ranking, thus it is common that when the media reports a player as a 5-Star, that means it is true on 247 Sports, but not Rivals. Usually he is a 4-Star on Rivals, but on occasion will match the 247 ranking. But this RB Jordon Davison, is a 4-Star on ESPN, On3, and 247, yet is a 5-Star on Rivals? I cannot ever recall seeing a player given a 5-Star rating at Rivals that was not true with the other rating services. You can check the star comparison right here, and be amazed as I have been. This is very rare, and whoever he announces to--is getting a superb talent.

Not! It has been a long road of learning, but this community has successfully trained themselves to stay away from politics, and I wish to say THANK YOU to the community. Now, once in a while we get a bonehead who cannot restrain himself, but our wonderful moderators hide his comment immediately and hardly anyone sees it. The point is--it used to be a problem, and now, between enforcing our rules, and the internal discipline applied by our superb OBD members--this forum is truly a safe zone for reading and writing. I was holding my breath during election week in 2022, but nothing was written--fantastic! And with the debate last night--nobody went near that topic here, and I am grateful, as I do not have to come down hard on anyone. So NICE to have this GREEN REFUGE to turn to from nastiness of real-life! The upcoming time in politics is going to test the resolve of everyone here on the Our Beloved Ducks Forum, so please continue to be disciplined. Whatever political stuff that is written offends half the people here, good people who I love and care about, and with the hundreds of political sites--there is no need to do that here. Stay strong, and let's continue to discuss, debate and love what really matters in this community... (And trust me--if anyone violates the 'No Politics' rule--the post is removed immediately, and I will drop-kick their butt over the goal posts.)

Wowsa. Oregon Baseball, in the final polls, finished No. 12 in the nation on both Baseball America, and one I follow the most, D1 Baseball. Our of 300 Division-One Baseball teams, Our Beloved Ducks finished in the Top-4%, that is pretty darn good. Once we get great pitching that is deep....look out! The Bastard Beavers, (who we tied with in games 2-2) finished No. 10 and Arizona was No. 25. Waz has built a GOOD program!

Good gosh, that is a cool AI photo! Will the Ducks be the Death-Star to the B1G?

My friends, while the article above has a gambling link in it--it is a legit article I wrote that I've been pondering. Both Jon Joseph and NJDuck know I've been thinking about this topic for a while... Would love your thoughts! I had to publish now instead of the morning, and if that was not wild enough--I received orders from the West African nations of Benin and Nigeria! (And yes...I got paid upfront!)

They are so WACKO, and I hope we pummel them in September, and they never want to play us again. Although, it is always fun to give Beavis a kick...

Helmet is cool, and the diamond plating is not much of the uniform. But it is a good tribute, as that era placed us in the national eye.

This video tells more of the story behind the new uniforms in less than two minutes...
