Washington fans pay homage to Axel and Oregon.... \ Darn right!

I admit that after dealing with hundreds of people who have violated the rules over the years.... I don't have the patience anymore. People tell me, "Charles....you gotta chill out." I tell them, "I did...for the first HUNDRED violations!"

Weekend weather: Friday, 82 degrees, Saturday, 92 and Sunday 94....not typical for Eugene at this time!

The gap of the number of 4 & 5-Star players between Oregon/USC and the rest of the conference is going to grow, IMHO. This could create the "Top-Heavy" conference I wrote of earlier. The exception is Utah of course; it does not matter what their star numbers are--Coach Whittington coaches them up.

Is "Crow" Dog-Food? Because the Huskies are going to be eating a ton of it over the next couple of years! Huskies....

Thanks for the article LaMarr, as I think Butterfield can run our offense, and he might just be the survivor a year from now of recruitments, portal moves, etc. Thanks for the article!

Every year the vast majority of verbals do end up signing with the Ducks. Usually one or two flip another direction, and our coaches flip one or two our direction at the last moment, but 90%+ of our verbals stick. So to me--it is great to see that young men have decided to come to Oregon!

JunkyardDawg....that was superb, and I wish to encourage you to post often. Welcome!

Micah Banuelos, an offensive lineman out of Kennedy High has removed the Huskies from his top three.... For those who enjoy Wailing at Washington from a Husky forum as I do... UW out of the picture. Final 3 of Oregon, USC, A&M. Have to say this one hurts. Not even getting an official from him and losing out on a very talented local kid who had strong ties to the program is a bit of a gut punch. This is tough one to take as a Dawg fan. Local Kennedy kid and not even an official visit. Local kids are not high on UW right now. Many of them actually look down on UW. Lake destroyed our reputation among local kids. I have already stated that we are behind on 2025 recruits and people laughed. It is true and if we don't win on the field the next 2 years and have an exciting team we are likely going to struggle with local talent until 2026. If we struggle on the field then it could take longer. Holy crap. I thought this guy was in the bag, wasn't he crystal balled to UW since the jump? But another highly regarded local kid not going to UW.... Concerning. It makes you want to cry... This is very concerning. Even our top DL transfers to UO. To me there is no spin you can put on this. I really don’t see how 1 bad season under Jimmy Lake can cause so many issues. There is wayyy more to the story then that and if you don’t believe me you are not thinking as deeply as you should. Brutal. Just brutal. I get losing 5 stars to the payola game, but this one just hurts. In state recruiting is a dumpster fire. No way to sugar coat it. We all know the long list of reasons/excuses why we can’t get kids but it is still painful, especially losing them to our bitter rivals who also have new staffs. Tired of waiting for next year… Our recruiting for a variety of reasons just sucks. UW is and will continue to lose virtually every recruit, whether local or not, to schools that pay. It's not complicated. It's why Connerly is at Oregon. And why Pressley probably ends up there too. Good luck unless you wear green and yellow with a swoosh, in that case hope you get a free degree. It's all about Oregon. It hurts me to see the Huskies suffer... ANY top program can come in right now and poach from UW when the program has fallen off a cliff the last few seasons. There is likely money under the table but that is pure speculation. Oregon sells itself pretty easily anyway. Get NIL money and have beat UW 16 of the past 18 years. Played in several huge games recently and has a talented roster. They are close to home so family can still drive down and watch them. The bigger question is why would you go to UW when Oregon is so close? UW fans need to be honest. Oregon has been a better program for these kids entire lives. They have better fans who filled Autzen Stadium for spring ball while we had maybe 1000 people in a 72,000 seat Husky Stadium. Unfortunately right now we are behind Oregon in every category. Oregon tried to hire Wilcox (a guy well down the list for most UW fans), and he turned them down. Lanning was a fall back plan when they were unable to hire a coach with head coaching experience and a connection to the program. Hiring a young coordinator from Georgia where he works for a big time head coach and has all the talent and money to win is a big risk that I am glad UW did not take. Surrounding him with recruiters not known for being quality coaches is another big risk Oregon took. Phil and his $ are the recruiter at Oregon no matter who they have as coach. Let’s wait and see this Oregon staff prove themselves on game days. Even Oregon didn’t want to go this direction with their coaching hire until Wilcox turned them down. It makes me SO SAD for the Huskies!

Sabrina! Sabrina!

There is a bit of fun and confidence in him that I cannot help but enjoy. He will have a blast doing SHOUT. (I bet he likes Cat-GIFs too)

The vibe around the program right now is really heating up, and I really believe in this staff. Is it just me feeling it?

Coming to recruit Richard Young alone is a wise move. Get that running back on-board and your passing game just got easier!

I need a reaction emoji that is a fist slamming on the table...even better than a mic-drop. Now I wish we had the full collection of Axel's third-degree burns on the Huskies...so many epic ones already!

This guy is a legit 5-Star on Rivals as well, and perhaps he is coming to visit (on his dime) again to bond with future players...and help recruit them? Film a commit video? At least that is my fantasy, and I'm sticking to it! (If he commits...it could open the floodgates of other 2023 verbals!)

Hey! He is a 4-Star on Rivals as well and a good one! Offered by Arkansas, Baylor, Michigan State, USC, Texas and Oklahoma! Fierce tackler...whew! Oregon Football: 4-star S Tyler Turner commits to Oregon Ducks DUCKSWIRE.USATODAY.COM Big-time get for the Ducks, who add 4-star S Tyler Turner to an impressive 2023 recruiting class.

I would take advice from this man....

I would delete your current membership, and you sign up again. No big deal. PM me or email charles@fishduck.com if you decide to.

Charles, you referred to this 'loaded option' back in November 25, 2014. Time for a revisit! Oregon's New "Loaded Option" is Surprising Opponents FISHDUCK.COM Oregon has unveiled a play that has it's roots in the Wishbone Offense of the 1970s and 80s and allows for more flexibility in their Spread Offense attack.

Presley is a 4-Star on Rivals as well. If we got both Washington players--it would be beyond just sweet from so many angles. We really need lock-down corners, and elite pass-rushers; come to Oregon!

At the risk of sounding arrogant to fellow conference members....we need a top-heavy conference for a while. We need at the minimum....Oregon and USC to be great, and have epic must-see-TV games, and a third team such as Utah would make it that much more interesting. But we need all the 4 and 5-Star players to flow to those three schools--to make us ready to win in the Playoffs, but that would require us being top-heavy as a conference. Not that we have any control over that...
