This means that JT Tuimoloau cannot visit Ohio State, Alabama or the Ducks until at least May 31st, and the recruiting Dead Period could go longer. How do you think he handles his recruiting now?

Last night's Men Basketball victory over Colorado was especially sweet with the circumstances surrounding it. The Ducks lost again in Bolder earlier this year, had Eric Williams out with injury again, and the Ducks lost Eugene Omoruyi to fouls late in this game--yet still found a way to win. Will Richardson is so much better at driving and creating than the others and he makes such a difference for Our Beloved Ducks! And the defense holding the 'Buffs to under 60 points? Whew!

Yeah....I got a thing for alliteration, but we are in a very special stretch of basketball viewing. Last night the Men won a tough 60-56 victory over Colorado to start this five game feast of Oregon Basketball, and the following four days are as follows: Friday, (Tonight!) February 19th, Women play at No. 8 UCLA at 5:00 PM on the Pac-12 Network Saturday, February 20th, the Men play Utah at home at 6:00 PM on the Pac-12 Network Sunday, February 21st, the Women play at USC at Noon on the Pac-12 Network Monday, February 22nd, the Men play at No. 17 USC at 6:00 PM on Fox Sports 1 Both Oregon teams are in a position of improving and can move their NCAA seed up dramatically over the next couple of weeks. Let's see a lot of winning!

What a cool win! No Eugene Omoruyi at the end of the game, a big block by Chris Duarte, and clutch free throws and a spin drive scoring in the paint by Will Richardson. Whew! Way to gut it out DUCKS!

And Tim DeRuyter, who has been a head coach.... Coordinators (DeRuyter and Moorhead) who have been head coaches, and position coaches in Yates and McClendon who have been Coordinators. Whew!

Stick to what we are about.... Gosh I love that rich color of green....and I'll be darned if I can find it on the HTML charts.

Not yet for me, as I want to see all the information gathered from a variety of sources. But he has quite a background, and is seemingly over-qualified to be a safeties coach, IMHO. Please see this thread, and in particular, the post by RatherBe. Nice interception by Verone McKinley!

Southern Duck....I see how they are giving you some grief on another site, and it is great to see you here.

Reading that made me wince, but both those guys have been around a ton of successful QBs, (Moorhead was a QB himself) and in the end....it is the kindest thing to do so Tyler can get a fresh start elsewhere. A high percentage of my photos from this short season have No. 12 in them....and people will not want to see them in future articles or posts. So I have to get some mileage out them while I can!

I really think he ought to go to a smaller school and get his confidence back--being put into another QB room with five others is not a healing scenario for him, IMHO.

We certainly are part of a brand!

OREGON ATHLETIC COMMUNICATIONS FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE |THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 18, 2020 EUGENE, Ore. – Oregon will play at No. 17 USC Monday at 6 p.m. to make up a game that was originally scheduled for Jan. 30, the Pac-12 announced Thursday. The game will be broadcast by FS1. Oregon hosts Colorado Thursday at 8 p.m. (ESPN2).

I think Cristobal pulled a rabbit out of the hat with this hire, because things were not looking good for him to get a Heyward-type replacement for some time. Most decided to remain in the NFL or passed on it; this is quite a resume' for a secondary coach. MC upgraded again!

The most interesting newbie to join Oregon is not who you would think from ESPN. I do like the comparisons they were making... ESPN gives Oregon's Most Intriguing Newcomer for 2021 Season by 247Sports Who do YOU think it is?

Love your talent analysis ChicoDuck....always. Good stuff to watch for! Set his base....

Now this is speculation, but this is not the first time it has happened at Oregon, and they covered it in the article. If it is true, it might be another indication of Tyler's diminishing confidence? Oregon freshman QB Ty Thompson may Have 'Turned Tyler Shough's Head' by 247Sports

This is quite interesting in the coordination taking place between the football and baseball programs with Robby Ashford. He is at a position in baseball that might allow for cross-over a bit easier? It depends on his hitting; can he hit a curve ball?

What a shame. Yet I could live with him being a starter at Las Vegas....trade Carr!

Yep....but please keep informing us of your observations. And Crank-the-Franck!

Van....love it. The heck of it is--we cannot condone it, but how many of us....

Noting player and coaching performance is just fine, so long as we don't get personal (Rule No. 26 here) and you were not at all. In fact discussing the performance....both good and bad, is what a forum is for! An ancillary benefit is how people like you point out items that I did not notice or do not have the knowledge to be aware of. These are great observations, and now when these players do them correctly in the future--we have a greater appreciation of their skills, their work at improving and the coaching that enabled them to progress. So...please Mallard and all--keep informing us! My thanks.

Coach Nordy--I again learn what to watch for from you and so appreciate the extra analysis you add to your weekly basketball articles. Thanks!

As an old offensive lineman...it brings me misty-eyed...."it's beautiful man!" Thanks so much Coach!

True, and Ashford could be that long-term project I spoke of....kind of how Dennis Dixon was as a Grey-Shirt for Oregon. Dixon leaving Huskies on the ground in the epic game in Seattle in Storm-Trooper uniforms!

We are so far behind where we should be due to injury and COVID delays, but we can still do it!
