This receiver/tight end analysis is going to Be WRONG, WRONG, WRONG......right?

Remember the player will be a junior in high school when he signs in February of 2026, or December of 2025. So doesn't that make him a seventh grader now? I've heard of building relationships for years, but...

Proctor has always been a long-shot, as it would be very hard to overcome the home-town Hawkeyes in Iowa. Reading the prior reports about him--I was surprised we were still in the running up to this date. I am not worried because with this staff.... We'll figure it out and get ours.

Some good father stories from many coaches including Dan Lanning and Kelly Graves... Canzano: Fatherhood of the Pac-12 Conference WWW.JOHNCANZANO.COM What did your dad do for you? I asked.

About Marshall Malchow.... "Oregon AD Rob Mullens went out and hired a head coach who is one of the best recruiters in the nation, and now he went for the kill shot. Marshall Malchow is now a Duck, and he very easily could be the man to deliver the level of talent to Oregon that will ultimately bring a championship trophy back to Eugene at long last." Never had this before...

Kind of like when Washington wanted to promote the "Northwest Cup?" How desperate can you get?

Memory lane can be fun, even if the final result did not go our way...

Wowsa. As if their talent needed to take another hit...whew! Do check the photo near the bottom of the article, as two of the four Huskies in it celebrating--are now Ducks! Highly Regarded Megwa Among 3 Husky Roster Defections Over the Weekend WWW.SI.COM The injured Texas running back didn't take part in Kalen DeBoer's spring practice. I feel SO BAD for the Huskies!

What part of Axel's post do I like the best? Hard to decide because there are so many killer lines within it, but I have to admit that "How nice. Cristobal must be Scandinavian" just about sent coffee through my nose this morning. THAT was funny... I am saving the link to this thread for future posting when 'Cane fans come along...

Wowsa. Over 330 scholarship offers extended over the 2023 and future classes, and I'm pleased to see the top three states of California (77), but in particular Texas (53) and Florida (44) as Lanning is serious about going where the talent is. How many offers over the next four years are out to Oregon High School players? Three. (Yikes!) A rundown of which states Dan Lanning has prioritized with scholarship offers 247SPORTS.COM A rundown of which states Dan Lanning has prioritized with scholarship offers

This has to be the most insane assist, and this is the professional level!

Yep, sometimes it may appear that we are hiding/deleting posts for something that is innocuous, and not going anywhere bad. But I’ve learned the hard way to pull posts that could go political, or initiate something in that direction. An ounce of prevention…

Duckman...that was a superb summary of "Mari," and for Miami fans who do not know why we call him that? "We leave it out because he doesn't know what to do with the "O." I will make two predictions about Miami: 1) By the end of 2022...'Cane fans will be worried about their star QB transferring, or leaving to the NFL before his stock goes lower. 2) 'Cane fans will be ready to move on to a new coach after four years of Cristobal. Mari is great as a leader, PR rep for the school and for recruiting. He will raise your national profile, create a buzz and fill your talent cupboard. But like Oregon...you will need a different coach to take you to the next level. Mari will win a 'Natty at Miami!

As soon as I see it is "Axel" and the places to not retire at....I am already laughing and I haven't read it yet! Talk about training me to involuntary reactions from just reading! How about Lubbock, Texas or as one FishDuck writer described Starkville, Mississippi as "the backwater of the SEC."

Well....you would be surprised at the number of Duck fans who do not share your values on this. Our moderators hide violation posts immediately, thus you rarely see the nonsense that some people feel is their right to say in this free forum. People in this community are great, but it took all of us a while to adapt, to pull the fangs in. Some newbies never get the hang of it, and take a lot of my time. So I am grateful that the wonderful people here operate as you wrote.

And...I'm glad to hear that Coach Lanning is taking some family time...

I am not a big fan of replaying the tapes of all we have been through as Oregon fans for fans of other schools, but if stormrider or any others truly want more information...the crux of it all is below. Saban says, OFFENSE WINS; is Mario Cristobal Listening? FISHDUCK.COM We all grew up hearing "Defense wins Championships," and the early Nick Saban National Championship teams at Alabama epitomized this mantra. Does Rob Mullens feel he got SNOOKERED by Mario Cristobal? FISHDUCK.COM ve often wondered what Athletic Director Rob Mullens was expecting of Oregon's offense when he announced Mario Cristobal as head football coach in his news... Cristobal's Problem? It's the Oregon Fans! FISHDUCK.COM Yes, you read that right; the problem for Mario Cristobal are the fans at Oregon. He runs a team under an old philosophy, an old way of winning. Were they Watershed Losses for the Team, the Fans or CRISTOBAL? FISHDUCK.COM Everyone is still reeling from unexpected losses to opponents that most would place in the bottom half of the conference. I actually wonder if the team truly...

Some good stuff about a former Duck... Canzano: Getting to the NFL is one thing... staying is another WWW.JOHNCANZANO.COM A conversation with former first-round draft pick Alex Molden.

You and me both when it comes to Our Beloved Ducks!

I am copying the above, as it perfectly states my feelings as well. And it makes me relieved that so many people yearn for the same thing I do... Thank you Log Haulin!

Up in the dashboard of the Posting Box is a symbol that looks like S and it is called "Strikethrough" and can be easily applied to any letter or word on a desktop or pad. Just highlight the letter or word then click on the S and you can create words like... Mario Cristobal I could not achieve what ICamel referred to above, but the strikethrough does make a point too. Fun stuff.

And good on the coaches for seeing the upside and making him such a priority. He could be a key player in a future explosive offense!

I like all the recruiting articles on 24/7, and am glad you, I and others post them. When it comes to ratings--I use Rivals for comparison in my FishDuck articles to overcome the built-in historical bias. You can learn more right here, and I welcome all articles being posted. To ALL: if you see something that hasn't been posted--do your part for this free forum and share it with us!

So very true, and which forum set that trend years ago? The article below is well worth the read for discussion. Canzano: Sports world needs to remain an escape WWW.JOHNCANZANO.COM No politics policy? But he still doesn't get it! He admits that sports is an escape, yet he still injects his views into this and other articles. What part of NO POLITICS do other media not get? "I’ve had a shift of mindset in the last decade. I used to bristle when people told me, “Stick to sports.” Now, I understand that what they’re really saying is, “Man, what happened to my escape?” Right, John....RIGHT!

And....by the end of the year--the Miami fans will be worried about him transferring out. I might know a team with an explosive offense and fast receivers that might fit him for transfer to? Wouldn't THAT set the world on fire!
