Not YET...Coach Stein will have him rocking the B1G!

Most accurate historically. They are consistently tough in grading for 25 years, while 247 data is corrupted by a former Husky who owned the firm before selling it to 247 Sports. It was routine in those days for Oregon verbals to lose a star, and a Husky verbal to gain a star after announcing. Thus when comparing this class to the past--Rivals allows the best comparisons. But our 2024 class is awesome, and I am not sweating the lack of 5-Stars, since what they do on Rich Brooks field is all that matters. I would be willing to bet that a couple of 4-Star LBs from our latest class will pan out better than this former 5-Star on Rivals. (It is a hit-and-miss business!)

I completely agree with you David; recruiting requires a flair for it, a talent that some coaches have more than others. But it also requires a strong NIL program, academic support and as you noted....a ton of hard work. When players who are being recruited make reference to all the conversations they have had with all the staff and Dan Lanning...I wonder if the poor coaches ever get off the phone! What Lanning and his staff, (because hiring coaches who can recruit is also crucial) is so exceptional, and we just gotta soak it up while we can. Lanning's recruiting is going to create this...

True, but for a long time and for the majority of recruits in Washington....Oregon had a hard time attracting them, as the link in David's article to a prior article proves.

Sorry, I do not have the time to link and quote everything he has said. You can search and read it all, or not. Just my opinion...

Whoa!

Spin from Alabama.... (This could be applied to Eugene as well)

I don't want UCLA to get a great coach, so I wish he'd stay. (Never thought I'd write that!)

I'd like a 16 team playoff, thus anyone who has a chance to win the 'Natty--will be in it, and there would be room for perhaps two G-5 teams?

My friends, I don't have as much time for this fun these days, but I try to fit it in where I can... (Quotes below from a Washington board) "I'm at six wins, and that Coug game at Lumen link looks very very iffy" "My over/under is currently set at 6.5. trending up. we have 5 very winnable games to start the season." "At least 7. I may still be in denial but I’m not ready to admit that." "We won 14 games last year, and we have about 50% of our team left, so I’ll go with seven wins right now." "I’ll say 7-5." "I'm more concerned about line play. Not too many of those guys in the portal. If we can solidify both lines, then 7 or more. In not, 7 or less." "The team currently: not bowl eligible, with a floor of two wins, and a ceiling of eight wins." "Looking at our schedule, we will more than likely start off 5-0 no matter who our QB is. We are going to end up being in the top half of the league, talentwise, by the start of the season. 9 wins I think is our ceiling." "Right now, 6-6 maybe. But we could get some pretty talented guys from Arizona and then shore the O line up and win 8 or 9 games." "One Win is UW beats Oregon by three points!" Huskies will have the Mother-of-all-Seasons!

Fisch is going to make hating the Huskies even easier, as he is clearly much more "ethically-impaired" than prior Washington coaches. This will stain the Husky recruiting, no doubt, as Jedd tries to carry out the...

I did not realize until now that we are on ESPN for the noon game, thus great exposure. If anyone wants to chat about the game as it happens or afterward--this is a good thread for it! Jadrian Tracey has really come in and given the Ducks scoring punch and energy the last two games...

...and then we have Oregon Baseball, Baby! There are a couple of us who follow the Diamond-Ducks, as the team will have a pack of pitchers who are experienced, and some good hitters to challenge a really good Pac-12 conference in Baseball this year.

Oh, this is a rich topic! Call it mean, but anyone who steals 35 million from Oregon moves up on my "hate" list to where I'd love to see Oregon State lose a bunch of games to Mountain West teams. I agree with you...I really only want to see Utah do well, not just because of the great Ute fans on this forum, but because of the integrity of their program. Of course I would love to see USC and Washington move to the B1G like...

The Curse at Colorado has been present for Oregon in even the best years. Yet we have won at Salt Lake City in the past, and have a real shot at doing so again...

Sunday noon on ESPN! Great exposure for OBD! If we beat Utah on Sunday, then we still have a game lead going into playing the Arizona teams next week. Go Ducks!

Ouch!

...this is funny!

Well...a couple were less memorable recently, and I'll leave it at that. (Current culture)

This is an incredible video. The quotes from it...just blow me away. Every Oregon fan should hear this video! So grateful to NJDuck for finding it and posting it. Where would we be without these selfless volunteers putting in huge hours for all of US?
