Is he an Oregon-boy all the way through or what? Nice to see his other comments as well... Justin Herbert reveals where things stand on Nike deal by 247Sports

There are some good candidates to choose from among them here, and there are only five out of 23 that are 3-Star players and one of them is my pick, Brandon Buckner. He is not the "right" sized, but he is a ferocious pass-rusher. DT Roundtable: Oregon's biggest sleeper in the 2021 class by 247Sports

Great to see Tony Washington back, and I have a special picture of him running back Winston's touchdown given to me by a photographer at the game. Tony Washington hired as Oregon Football Director of Player Development by NBC Sports Northwest

I still rate our chances as "not-great," because once he visits Ohio State and Alabama...he will be blown away as all are after their visits. He has been to Oregon...old stuff. However, Justin Hopkins of ScoopDuck stated a few days ago that he is still predicting Oregon as the choice for JTT for two reasons that most would not think or or know. (ScoopDuck is certainly worth the subscription, IMHO, and anything I write is days-old, long after all of his readers have read and discussed it.) First...the longer this goes, the more often players do not want to travel far away for college, thus Oregon is the closest and easy for his family to come to games. The second component is who the lead recruiter is....the guy who makes most of the contacts is Mario Cristobal himself, and he does not miss very often! This guy can run like a receiver and plays Defensive Line? Whew!

Two games tomorrow! C'mon to them both!

Not to worry, because the best distance runners are being held out to help the Ducks pursue a National Championship in Indoor Track, (Currently ranked No. 1) since the two seasons are taking place at the same time!

Appointing this firm takes the pressure off the Pac-12 Executive Committee, as they cannot be blamed later!

Fantastic post and information--thanks!

Most think it will occur at the end of March when his quarter with Tennessee ends and he can begin elsewhere.

Utah....your posts are smokin'....great stuff. Thanks.

Notalot....whew! What a fun list you created to ponder...love it. Yeah Baby!

Agreed. He works so hard to assemble a team that could be special and then all this stuff happens...

I think that Willie Taggart said it best when he considered the compensation and the facilities as he looked out over the HD Complex, "There are no excuses."

No! Very cool, thanks.

BDF....this is one of the few times we will disagree because in reference to your statement above....I will not. It is a means of measuring, not to other teams, but what the potential is at Oregon. Cristobal changed expectations of recruiting at Oregon, while Chip/Helfrich changed expectations about scoring, and it is a shame that both cannot happen at the same time with the level of talent being brought in.

Good one! Thanks for bringing it to us!

Probably a lot of Bean Dip being sold this weekend.... Dairy Farmers are predicting that 20 million pounds of cheese will be consumed on Super-Sunday...and the cheeseheads are not even in the game! Sniff a Reser Cheese?

MaiTaiDuck is BACK! It is so fun to see the "regulars" that were in the comments at FishDuck now present and commenting in the Our Beloved Ducks Forum! Jump in, as the Duck water is just fine in this pond!

Don't try to confuse me with facts, doggone it!

Some of this article we have read, but there was a tasty quote or two that makes you ponder. Cristobal believes DeRuyter will make Oregon 'a whole lot better' by 247Sports

Again...a subjective analysis, but gives Oregon some love and they make some good points. 2021 Best Classes: The Receivers by CFB Saturdays

So well deserved and thanks for posting it olcodger!

Yep, we are going to disagree with this list, no doubt. Clemson? Once Dabo leaves--it goes back into the Dumpster. That is the coach, not the program or school, IMHO. USC is already known as a coach's graveyard because of all the factors and the Ducks are not making it easier. TAMU? Big fan base, yes...but Penn State's is bigger. It is subjective--sure.

Made smile wistfully...we gotta look for this and remember.... Fun post-thanks.

Perhaps recruits and their parents are on to the, "Mistake by the Lake" in Seattle? (Gotta give credit to Annie for that one!) Huskies....you can't beat this!
