On one of the pay sites...their inside source reported that Dante Moore was the No. 2 QB in the nation to Dillingham, behind only Arch Manning. But we pursued as many as possible to get ours, and it turned into a dream scenario for the Ducks. GREAT article BTW...

Amen Duck-Brother, and I'll bet a ton of Big-12 fans would agree with this two. The "Big-Pac!"

Wowsa.

Look at the bright side…while you were worried, yet we are now ahead of Washington in the recruiting class rankings. And it did not take long….

While it is despicable how they portray Phil Knight, if he is working the phones, that is what we need from the most influential source in the world for the University of Oregon. Calling him a Cold- Caller is pretty egregious, as everybody knows the contacts he must have in the sports world. The only thing in that article that made me gulp, were the ads at the bottom for the G-String panty sets.

Amen Duck-Brother. The lives being disrupted, the opportunities lost from the inevitable cuts in sports--it is disgusting.

You and I both. If I had my way...

OK...I am not wild about the eggshell uniform, but the players like it. Then I noticed this Instagram of Richard Young....and I have to admit that the Gold in the shoulders and numbers is kinda cool.

Looking better...

He's a 3-Star on Rivals, but a good one with upside...

I believe the noise level is lower due to when Field Turf was installed. The turf has millions to tiny rubber pellets inside it, and that rubber absorbs the sound coming at it. Before field turf, we had AstroTurf over cement, and the sound of the crowd would bounce off this cement, and echo back inside the stadium. I'll bet it has cut the noise level by 25-30%?

Please note that the number on the player in the first post is No. 5, Dante Moore's number....and Young was indicating that Moore was committed. The number that Young wears is No. 9...and I'm sure he took it all down to prevent further confusion.

You were taking the facts as a personal upfront. Nobody was putting down private equity, but the fact is $1 billion for 15% ownership into the Pac 12 media rights, would have been a boon to the Pac 12, and a boondoggle to those who invested. Do you disagree with that?

We cannot see it--please summarize for us?

He made so many millions off the Pac12 for so little, and I’m sure he is realizing he should shut the “blank” up now. Everyone, see how we can avoid that word if we want to?

It is true that they could have wanted more money, but a BILLION for only 15% stake is pretty darn good. I cannot believe that Larry made this happen...or that our presidents declined it!

No. 21 on Rivals, while looking prettay, prettay good with only 11 verbals thus far. 2023 Team Rankings N.RIVALS.COM The definitive source for all Rivals news. And we moved ahead of Washington! How did that happen?

Look...I dislike Larry Scott as much as anyone else...but he pulled this together and the idiot school presidents turned down a BILLION? For only 15% equity? Good grief, Larry pulled off the "Con-of-the-Century" if the presidents had agreed to it. He really fooled the private equity people, but.... Canzano: Pac-12 turned down $1B offer to sell equity stake in conference WWW.JOHNCANZANO.COM Conference ADs say they're galvanized. How much do they get paid? And they're smarter than us?

I would agree that it looks great, but I've been surprised before!

The article hints that the loss of the Cowboys could be a fatal blow to the Big-12, and perhaps the Pac-12 could attract a few Big-12 members to join us?

Add this breadcrumb from Coach Locklyn....(provided by David Marsh in another thread) I like the TV shows our coaches watch!

My friends....I was just sent this by OBD member mrspenny--how Richard Young has changed his Instagram to where he is wearing an Oregon uniform? (Green arrow is my addition)

Big-12 is Europe in the Risk Game....hard to hold and attacked from all directions. The Pac-12 is like North America...you get a decent number of armies for holding, but rarely do you win starting from that position?

I do not think we are paying top-NIL-dollar... Oregon Will Not Pay Top-NIL for QBs: Should They? FISHDUCK.COM I was reading on another Oregon site and received some disconcerting news: Oregon is not in the top NIL bidding for the best of the 2023 quarterback recruits.

Whew! "Getting out there and seeing the facilities, the best facilities in the country, I believe," Moore said. "Everything is updated and [Nike founder] Phil Knight has put so much money into the university. Everything that's at the university is going to help. People that go to Oregon get the best throughout their whole process of being there because they have every tool you need to better yourself."
