My FishDuck Friends, this quarterback was a Baylor verbal, who had wrestled him from Texas A&M and Notre Dame last summer. Ohio State also offered, so there is some serious upside here!

Get a portal tackle and the offensive line is good for 2023!

"He throws a really accurate deep ball." Oh geez....that is quite the matchup with Coach Will Stein, and more on that in the next two weeks with articles by DazeNconfused and Coach Boles. Who said to watch out for Tuesday Night?

At least that is what the mods at the Baylor 247 site is thinking...we won't know until the LOI comes in Wednesday, but this is crucial for a Bo-Backup and future QB development. Good-gosh, what a recovery by the coaches!

My FishDuck Friends, Oh my goodness, there is positive drama going into NLI Signing day tomorrow. In fact, I am thinking that Coach Lanning will replace the loss of the two who flipped away, and bring in another one or two besides. Won't know for sure until tomorrow, but this coaching staff is in on more big-names, more flip-candidates for signing day than any other year of memory. Usually, we have one or two to keep an eye on for flipping to Oregon on signing day, but this year it seems that we are in on seven or so. The Danimal is going to get his share... Today we see that Rivals 4-Star corner Daylen Austin is on major flip alert from LSU to the Ducks... From Chad Simmons of On3, "Daylen Austin is likely to push his signing back to February, but if he does sign this week, there is some buzz around Oregon for the LSU commit." UPDATE Tues. 2:43pm: "Hearing more buzz around Oregon for the Long Beach Poly cornerback. One to watch closely over the next 24 hours." Once again...one of so many the Ducks are in on, thus tomorrow could be an early Christmas for Oregon fans. Daylen Austin The flips to Oregon will go better than this...

(From Oregon Athletics to Credentialed Media) EUGENE, Ore. – Collegiate Baseball released its preseason poll for the 2023 season with Oregon ranked 19th heading into the season. Oregon is coming off a 2022 campaign that saw the Ducks qualify for the postseason for the second consecutive season, where they played in the Louisville Regional. Oregon finished the 2022 season 36-25 and fourth in the Pac-12 Conference with an 18-12 league record. Oregon returns 19 letter winners from last year’s squad, including six starters among position players and eight members of the pitching staff. The Ducks also feature Baseball America’s No. 5 recruiting class in the nation. Oregon Team Information The Ducks return 19 letter winners (10 position players/9 pitchers). Two former All-Americans (Tanner Smith – Collegiate Baseball - 2021; Jacob Walsh – Collegiate Baseball Freshman All-America - 2022) return to lead the team. The Ducks return starters at catcher (Josiah Cromwick/Bennett Thompson), first base (Jacob Walsh) second base (Gavin Grant), third base (Drew Cowley), left field (Smith) and center field (Colby Shade). The Ducks return three hitters from last season who batted better than .300 in Cowley (.424/.506/.616), Smith (.317/.370/.489) and Shade (.305/.400/.438). The Ducks’ pitching staff returns six pitchers that made double-digit appearances and one other that made eight starts. Oregon’s recruiting class is the No. 5 ranked class in the country by Baseball America. The Ducks added three transfers from four-year colleges, five junior college transfers and 16 high school players. Oregon opens its season Feb. 17-19 with a four-game series at PK Park vs. Xavier. The Ducks will play 23 of their games against teams ranked in Collegiate Baseball’s top 50, including 14 against teams in the top 30.

I agree Joshua, because if I had to pick--I would take Bo in a heartbeat, and figure out the rest later. (And the coaches are right now) Oregon needs a back-up who can also be the future at Oregon--and I do not believe that TT is the guy, and I don't think the coaches do either.

Like below, I'm sure it will go just fine for those who flip from Oregon...

Like below, I'm sure Dante's flip will work out just fine....

Oregon will end up just fine for 2023...

Yep, I saw that when he signed up, but many times I have thought the worst of a new member--and it turns out I misread it. Some of you may have received an inquiry email from me in the beginning, and thus I was wrong in my suspicions. I catch most right away, but some do fool me for a bit. (So much work behind the scenes) So I let them prove me that he/she is a Troll...

My FishDuck Friends, This is how we protect you from reading more of this nonsense, as I noticed this new member had written more than one of these. He just signed up last night... I just sent an inquiry email and received confirmation that no...he is not an Oregon fan. He was here to troll, and is now banned. You gotta take the trash out once in a while! Charles

Oh my....I headed to where Oregon recruiting is....the crapper!

OK...maybe this has been around awhile, but I was not aware of it. It ranks teams in terms of recruiting portal transfers. Interesting to add to the HS rankings... Oregon is No. 6 this year thus far, but last year was No. 24? I thought we did really well, and would have thought we would have had a higher ranking?

No, actually Wednesday will not, IMHO. That day is for the signing of high schoolers, and only Proctor or the JC fellow below might be able to help right away. The major help for the offensive line will hopefully come from a portal transfer between the players from Utep, Rhode Island, Texas and Stanford. They are experienced and can step right in. With the players we have--I am confident about the interior O-Line, and I assuming Josh Connerly playing at left tackle. Between the JC guy below playing some, and just one portal offensive tackle--the OLine should be in good shape. But we will not know about the portal prospects for a while.

(Fullerton, CA) on Rivals.com Late note to add: The Rhode Island O-Tackle is announcing on Wednesday, so you could be right about Wednesday if he goes our way!

So...it isn't about the money? Quote from the article below..."I’ve been told he’d follow Dillingham to Arizona State since he’s going to flip to a PAC 12 team in that part of the country, but the NIL there isn’t close to what UCLA or Oregon can offer."

Whoa! I LOVE that scenario! Card for two years? Cool!

Perhaps you do not know how it works; free sites like mine that have ads get paid very little. The pay sites thus do NOT get paid by clicks, because while they also have ads--I know what the ad rates are, and they suck. Thus the ads there help to pay a touch of the expenses, but the vast majority of their revenue (95%) comes from paid subscriptions. I give On3 credit for having inside contacts who supply amazing information--and that is what people there pay for. Keep in mind that I am not promoting them, since most over there hate me for first declaring Mario's offense would not take us to the promised land in September of 2018, (the beginning) and now they hate me because I was right. They have 20 times the number of members we do, and yet we have more posts every day....why? Because people feel safer to post here (because of my rules and immediate enforcement) than they do over there. Just reading over there in the last couple of days made me shudder at the terrible things people write to each other. So I've been maligned over there beyond what anyone can imagine, and thus most of my rules were designed to avoid that here. But I digress--I give them credit where due, and grief where it is deserved. They are not throwing stuff out to create clicks; at Ducks Wire, yes, but not the subscription sites.

You are right, as there has been no official announcement, but for those of us who have been watching this for 25 years--we don't need breadcrumbs to assume the higher probability ending. It looks most likely like Dante wants Moore opportunity immediately at UCLA.

It has become evident on other sites that Oregon was upfront and honest with Dante Moore in telling him that Bo Nix was returning. Thus, Moore thinks he has a better chance beating out a Kent State transfer QB, while with Bo...no way. Moore's choice does make sense to me. 1) I am glad Lanning was honest with Moore up-front. Are you? 2) Lanning lost a 5-Star QB, but got a Heisman candidate QB instead. I certainly believe he made the right choice--do you? Yes we missed out on "having it all," but who knows if we don't get a 5-Star transfer next year? On Wednesday we sign a GREAT Recruiting Class like Jurrion Dickey

Now that Bo is coming back?

By the time we are done with portal recruiting--I believe we will be fine on the offensive line. 2023 suddenly looks to be very exciting!
