Washington fans did NOT like this 247 review that placed the new coaching staff of the Huskies below Washington State and Miami...and WAY below Oregon's ranking. We had this link up before, but I had to share a few Husky reactions to it, and note some of the consistent themes... "Oregon has flashier uniforms, it's a new criteria used by 247 in evaluating the pecking order..." "Referring to Oregon Uni's; you catch fish on brighter lures or more visual bait. A lot of todays players are more impressed with flashy and show me the $, than a program that will develop character. Interesting that more and more NFL teams are looking for character." "I’m not shocked. DeBoer is a brand new name nationally. Don't know about everyone else but I’m perfectly fine with being under the radar." "The reference that "DeBoer doesn't have much experience as a head coach" is misleading. Including his time at Sioux Falls, this will be his 8th year as a HC. No mention that Lanning has never been a HC anywhere." "Probably because too many major college programs do not seem to consider character and integrity relevant. It’s all about the green and gold (or yellow)." "No surprise Oregon was over hyped. We are going to have to get used to Nike influence; exerting influence actively or passively. However, would you prefer being massively over hyped and not even coming close to living up to the expectations, or flying under the radar and surprising people? I choose the later every time."

You gotta turn on the sound at the bottom of the tweet and see at what they are eating up...

Wisconsin is not known as a "passing offense" kind of school, so this does surprise me. Keeps Caleb away from USC in another conference? Sounds good to me!

As you may have noticed...there is not as much news in the off-season, so these kind of off-topic (OT) things are fun. Looks delicious! Former Oregon Ducks Football Star and NFL Player LaMichael James Has Opened a Second Killer Burger by Andi Prewitt of Willamette Week

A nice suggestion about Oregon in the article and it could happen, because as fast as Sewell is, I think Flowe is a touch faster. Both blitzing? Whew! Interesting facts about Utah in this article that will turn heads-wow. There is some outstanding coaching going on there...

I don't think he fits the new offensive lineman profile with the new staff, and was probably told that. (My guess) He was a big recruit for Mario, so no surprise.

Somebody made the observation that he made no mention of the current coaching staff at Oregon in his tweet. Perhaps he is a body-type that does not fit the new defense? Every staff wants players who fit the profile of the positions in their defense and perhaps it was no longer a fit? Just guessing. I do think the profile on the offensive line is changing from guys who are huge, to players who are a bit more mobile and faster, yet still over 300 pounds? Fun to watch for...

Bad defense in the second half of both of the recent games. Gave up 41 points to the Huskies...gotta play defense!

The players have to learn; deviate from what Dana says...and you lose. After winning six...they may have got a bit full of themselves?

Good gosh, get your popcorn! First it appeared a few days ago that Cristobal was pursuing the QB Coach of the NFL Buffalo Bills, but the current OC with the Bills (Brian Daboll) is a major head coach candidate and is doing interviews. Thus the Bills QB coach, Ken Dorsey could be elevated to the Bills OC, and would get offers from other NFL teams. Which team would YOU pick? (Me? Not Miami!)

Cleared up; he is not taking an Oregon scholarship, as he is Preferred Walk-on.

Great information Joshua for us Oregon fans to be aware of. Unfortunately, it really calls attention to the importance of elite defensive linemen, the scarcity of them and how difficult it will be to get them to the PNW. The Washington Transfer was a good start!

That is the origin of 30Duck! Look at that....over Bill Walton!

Scholarships in short supply....and this? More to the story than we know, as it is puzzling.

Whoa! GREAT scoop Duck 1972, as most of us can't check every source. I really appreciate the good people in this community that post links and information tidbits. You gotta admit...with the departure of Verdell and Dye...he could start for a winner right-off-the-bat? Both sides win.

The fellow in the background photo of the forum, (seen only by those on Desktop and Pad) is Seven McGee, and he has announced his intention to grab that number. No complaint, as if anyone should have a number...it is someone who has that in his name! I only wish Sean Dollars could have a Jersey number that was a $$

A big one, and a direct fight with USC...

So cool; the recruiting at both programs is beyond what I ever thought possible at Oregon.

Wow...that is very cool. Lanning is winning the Pac-12 already over USC! And Washington STATE has a new staff rated higher than Miami and Washington? Look, this doesn't get any better...

Gotta love Twitter for the tough questions!

Hey Jon, THANKS for bringing that to us. Now when will the day come when a Consolidated ranking will occur...where both HS recruits AND Portal transfers are taken into account? Wouldn't you have to have a handicapping element for those who transferred out? (We would get quite a hit that would make anyone DYE)

Well I am in agreement with Canzano on this one!

While I recognize he is the first player off the bench and is playing quite well...I am still surprised that Eric Williams is not a starter. I thought he was better than Guerrier early on....but in Dana I trust!

Some good stat lines to be aware of, and it is fun to ponder about "what-if" for the remainder of the season. A shot at the Sweet Sixteen? Oregon Basketball: Three Takeaways from Ducks Dominant Win over Washington by Jake Verboven of Busting Buckets
