Cryptic Will Stein Tweet: Recruiting Related?
Is Oregon OC Will Stein telling us we will get verbals from four of the visitors this last weekend? Guesses are Frazier, Tauma, Mothudi, and McRoy? Can you break the code?

Texas Tech - Don't Nap on this B-12 Sleeper
Thank you for posting that David, as I was going to. In my article, is a screenshot of the worried expression on Chip Kelly’s face, as he knew he was screwed. There was not enough time for him to score enough to win…

Texas Tech - Don't Nap on this B-12 Sleeper
With Burch on one side, Matayo on the other and Dorlus rushing from the middle…we have weapons on defense unavailable last year! Throw in tighter coverage from the secondary, and the result will be a pass defense that is much, much better than 2022.

B1G Expansion Candidates?
Unfortunately it is the brains behind the SEC that have the most wisdom on this. The reasoning in the article above illustrates the value of the Oregon Brand beyond the location.

No sweat. We can say anything about any writer, unless it is a FishDuck writer, of course. Thanks for the concern for our conference and this site.

Kirk Herbstreit Says Pac-12 Coaches are 'Anxious' to Face Colorado in 2023
I think Kirk was trying to stir-the-pot by referring to opposing coaches as being "anxious," to play Colorado in 2023, when a better description would be curious or interesting. Everybody will keep their eye on the 'Buffs until they get their butt-kicked the first time, and I'm hoping it will come from Our Beloved Ducks.

Right. You're a little late to the party, Vern, as we have been discussing this for a long time. Funny how we've been attracting some trolls lately...

Key Visit Cancelled: Seattle Times Worried About Husky Recruiting
I love you Jon, but this is one time I disagree. I want Oregon to be the top PAC-12 team by a MILE. I want our passion, our focus on the top teams in the US, and how we are going to recruit and strategize to beat THEM. I want to leave the Huskies in our dust, whimpering about “Evil Oregon” (their oft-used reference to us) and how they cannot catch us. That is my fantasy, and I’m sticking to it!

Key Visit Cancelled: Seattle Times Worried About Husky Recruiting
Wait a minute…the Huskies could not recruit well due to their higher academic “standards,” their “prowess,” yet Stanford’s new coach is killing it in recruiting? Running out of excuses!

Key Visit Cancelled: Seattle Times Worried About Husky Recruiting
Now this is a subscriber site, but let's say they are worried and puzzled--as most Washington fans are. https://www.seattletimes.com/sports/uw-husky-football/uw-huskies-host-critical-official-visit-week-after-slow-recruiting-start/#comments I love some of the comments below it... "Oregon loads up on talent every year but underperforms and a ton of kids transfer out yearly. Texas and Texas A & M have top 5 talent and have not scared anyone yet." "Seems to me UW has to have a very high "close rate" given what appears to be an unfavorable ratio of limited decent prospects vs positional need." "TCU, Utah, UW, Oregon State - lots of teams crushing it with "average" talent now. Tons of teams loaded with 4 and 5 star talent doing faceplants now too. Maybe it's all about the portal now?" "95th in the country...for a top10 team?" Go ahead Washington...try to do what Oregon does!

Fox Crader: Big News From a Big Recruit
As I posted before...Fox Crader was a Rivals 3-Star when he verbaled to Oregon while Adrian Klemm was here. Then with the coaching change--Crader's status with Oregon was in doubt the same time his stature exploded with interest from major teams across the US. He was elevated to 4-Star recently, and had a visit to Oregon this last weekend, and here are some tidbits from 247 Sports... "What stood out the most for me was the family atmosphere that was constantly shown through everything we did," said Crader. "The staff really loves the players and wants them to be the best version of themselves, on and off the field." "The coaches are outstanding. They are full of energy and knowledge and I am really impressed with the staff as a whole. I talked a lot to coaches about what the future holds for Oregon football. I think that’s been a hot topic lately and I got a good picture of what that will look like. I also got to talk ball, and learn ways that coach (A'Lique) Terry works with the line." Duck players from the state of Washington were hosting him..."Josh Conerly Jr. and Dave Iuli were my hosts," said Crader. Crader visited Oklahoma and USC officially this month in addition to Oregon but said..."as far as official visits, I am done taking them," said Crader.

Paul Finebaum Predicts Pac-12 Will Collapse by 2026
I agree with that as Wilner/Canzano have reported that Utah already brings that area media market, thus BYU is redundant.
