No kidding. Think I don't know any of that? But let's take a moment to enjoy all the little victories...like beating Cal...

On their criteria...sure. But that changes year-to-year. My criteria has been consistent for 20 years, and it is the number of 4/5-Star players on Rivals. Right now we are tied at 19, and tomorrow we could break it... Unless he goes to Washington!

If you want the definition of "Butt-Hurt," just look further at actual comments on a USC board... "Two out of the Top 20 CA players are signing with SC. No matter how you try to spin this isn’t going to help you win a conference championship let alone a natty. Saw two threads today saying LR has to recruit outside of CA because some of the players are too soft, and there aren’t enough highly ranked players in next years class or players are too small all while we’re losing recruits to the likes of Oregon." "Oregon has more players from California should be concerning… however no one from Oregon is good enough to be rated." "Oregon has nine players from California to our six? That six has to an all time historic low number of kids from California in a Trojan Class." "Oregon has a number of players from more states than we do." "Oregon is a much better Football program at this point, better recent history, consistent showing dedication to having a facility's on par with top schools, USC has a decade of apathy, and failure to compete, USC is going to be the "Chargers" with the coliseum looking like home games for traveling big 10 schools. IF you think differently please let me know why." "Same old Oregon, money at the 11th hour wins every time." I Never Said I Was Noble....

I already counted him, and he signed as expected. BIG linebacker recruit!

Boy, we all knew nothing about Stein or A'lique Terry for OL coach, yet Lanning did as these guys are killing it. We all had doubts, but by now I should trust Lanning more!

As a new member of this forum--you are off to a GREAT start! Thanks for your humor, and WELCOME!

Yes, they could do well in the portal, and they better because they suck at high school recruiting. Washington is No. 45, with only six of the 4/5-Star players, while Oregon is No. 7 with 19 of the coveted 4/5-Star players on Rivals.com. So who is out-recruiting them? Vanderbilt, Pittsburg, Maryland, Illinois, Rutgers, Minnesota....gadfry! A recruiting wall-of-shame.... 2024 Washington Huskies football commitment list WASHINGTON.RIVALS.COM The definitive source for all Washington news.

We're talking HS recruiting, and not counting the portal. The all-time record is 19 of the coveted 4/5-Star players on Rivals in 2021, and as of right now, (assuming the final few sign at their press conferences coming up and we believe they will...) Oregon sits at.... 19! That means with a NT Jericho Johnson commitment tomorrow--Lanning would break the all-time high school recruiting record. Better than Cristobal....with coaching! Now we wait to see if it all happens over the next 24 hours, and we still have portal transfers to follow. Come to OREGON!

Coach Will Stein barely gets here, and gets Rivals 4-Star QB Michael Van Buren to commit, (has since been released from verbal) then adds Luke Moga, who was a Rivals 3-Star,and since been elevated to 4-Star, and then secures the verbal of one of the best QBs in the nation in Rivals 2025 4-Star Akili Smith Jr! But wait! He then recruits the best portal QB in the nation in Dillon Gabriel, and now adds former 5-Star Dante Moore? (Five QBs? Are you kidding me?) This has never happened at Oregon, and I cannot imagine how Stein would NOT be the best QB recruiter in the nation.

You and me both Duck-Buddy!

While Oregon was battling Ohio State and USC for receivers....Oregon State was battling Colorado State and Portland State for this WR from Prineville.... Eddie Freauff | BeaversEdge N.RIVALS.COM Eddie Freauff - 2024 3 Star Wide receiver for Crook County (Prineville, OR) on Rivals.com

With the NFL flirting with Harbaugh....a victory with Bair could happen, but we won't know for 3-4 weeks.

Don Pellum as a player at Oregon...

Bully!

Didn't Dr Hilarius write that every time a USC verbal flips to Oregon...."an angel gets wings." ??

More coming, but Ryan Pellum, changed his mind from USC to Oregon just now. A Rivals 4-Star, and offered by Alabama, Georgia, LSU, Arizona, Miami, Florida State, Notre Dame, Ohio State, Texas and Washington!

In the new Pac-2, that is. Even Washington State has recruited better at No. 61, than Oregon State at No. 97! Makes me so SAD!

Jeremiah McClellan, 4-star receiver, flips commitment from Ohio State to Oregon football WWW.OREGONLIVE.COM Oregon’s class moved up from No. 8 to No. 6 in the 247Sports Composite.

As of a few minutes ago--all the class had their LOIs in except for three, and I'm sure they are coming soon. To flip this receiver from Ohio State to Oregon is just HUGE, and would account for why another less-heralded receiver de-committed from Oregon a few weeks ago. THAT is why we don't panic when players change their mind, as the Ducks allowed the young man to save-face and to appear publicly to spurn us. Jeremiah McClellan is a Rivals 4-Star, and has offers (other than tOSU and Oregon) as...Missouri, Iowa, Notre Dame, and Texas. Big recruit!

I think he might be trolling everyone...to get this kind of attention drawn to him. Make the Buff fans sweat and appreciate him better later...

Good. We question the coaches on their decisions, and with player performance. As long as we don't get personal with the current players and coaches--the topics are pretty open for us to kick-around. That is what we do here, and many of us have been proven correct over the years, but the coaches generally come out way ahead. Besides. the benefit of pondering what others like you have to say--makes us all better fans.

The coaching staffs after Helfrich--that is true, but the jury is still out on this coaching staff. But they are off to a pretty good start, as one could make a big case that Dillingham and Stein propelled the career enormously of Bo Nix, hence proving the skills of developing a QB further.
