Agreed....this is an example of how for one game, "the enemy of my enemy is my friend." Well that and you nailed how it is fun to see the Huskies buried...

Gosh I love it when someone brings up a comparison to the past that I had not thought of. That is quite right, and nice catch Haywarduck.

An article about him is below and he will be announcing just before 5:00 PM today. He is also a 4-Star on Rivals and Oregon is considered one of the front-runners for his commitment. Oregon DL target Gracen Halton sets finalists ahead of Wednesday decision by Duck Territory 247 Among the many teams that have offered him are Michigan, Penn State, Texas, USC and Washington (eight Pac-12 teams) and you can see the full list here.

Brown could begin the season as starter and give way to a talented newcomer, as what happened in 2016...

Below is an article about his showing; he could have helped us this year....darn. Oregon CB Thomas Graham impressing on Day 1 of Senior Bowl by Duck Territory, 247 Below is nice!

Those stats did not include 2020, where he started all seven games and was instrumental in many key drives and plays this year. He played at least half the offensive snaps with their rotations, and that experience is welcomed next year.

Coach Nordy, you read my mind about concerns for the team and wrote an ideal article that calms me now and gives me a lot to look for as the team progresses. Great analysis in that piece and items I have not seen written anywhere else, so high kudos to you. For many of us...we do not pay much attention to the freshmen and perhaps do not give a thought to their role; now I will be watching them after this article. THANKS. Perhaps with this new "break," it will give Richardson time to finish healing and start practicing...

Now keep in mind....I love this as much as anyone else, but look at how close No. 3 through No. 7 is. This is very fluid over the next month....

When you recruit well...there will always be transfers. I wish him well.

PhotoDuck! Great to see you as a new member and I know you can add a bunch to our discussions here. Welcome!

Yes, I asked those questions in an earlier thread right here. So many more questions...

OREGON ATHLETIC COMMUNICATIONS FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE |TUESDAY, JANUARY 26, 2021 EUGENE, Ore. – The University of Oregon men’s basketball program has paused all team-related activities because of COVID-19 protocols. As a result, the three scheduled games on the Ducks’ upcoming trip to Los Angeles, including two games at UCLA (Thursday, Jan. 28 and Monday, Feb. 1) and one at USC on Saturday, Jan. 30, have been postponed. Rescheduled dates for those games will be announced when finalized. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Well, on the bright side this will help the injured get healed?

Crossing my fingers for Justin....

Aix11...you are new and we welcome your opinions often! Great to see you here.

Got a new press release that I just added to the post!

Pretty amazing, and his disdain for the media goes a long ways back!

OREGON ATHLETIC COMMUNICATIONS FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE | JANUARY 26, 2021 Oregon will begin the 2021 season ranked in the top 11 of two major national polls, checking in at No. 10 in the NFCA Coaches’ Poll and No. 11 in the USA Softball Poll Tuesday. The Ducks are coming off of a 22-2 season in head coach Melyssa Lombardi’s second season at the helm – a year that was halted after 24 games due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Oregon began last season on a 16-game winning streak and the season ranked No. 8 in the USA Softball Poll and No. 9 in the NFCA Coaches’ Poll. Oregon will welcome back nearly everyone from last season’s team with nine position players returning who started at least 10 games last year in addition to the top seven leading hitters from the 2020 team. In the circle, all four pitchers who were on last year’s roster will be back a year after each finished the season with an ERA under 2.40. Adding to the already experienced roster will be a group of five talented freshmen who will give the Ducks even more depth. The Ducks improved drastically in every facet in year two under Lombardi, finishing as the only team nationally to rank in the top 15 in the country in batting average (8th), ERA (11th) and fielding percentage (2nd). Additionally, Oregon ranked in the top 15 in the nation in six other major stat categories, including strikeout-to-walk ratio (4th), runs allowed per game (4th), runs scored per game (9th), fewest total runs allowed (10th), strikeouts (11th) and on-base percentage (12th). Another key part of Oregon’s success was getting off to fast starts, outscoring opponents, 73-3, over the first two innings of games (29-1 in 1st, 44-2 in 2nd). Oregon pitching did not allow a single run in the first or second inning over the first 21 games of the season, while the Ducks led through two frames in 19 of the 24 games.

Two teams getting 31 of the best recruits with ten teams getting 19? Wowsa. And we are not done!

Gosh it is fun to see a video like this below. Freshmen Prince and Parrish have smooth shooting skills and both can pass the ball... I loved seeing this below, as she can beat anyone guarding her down the floor for a fast-break!

Boy that makes Spring Football interesting...the entertainment of that is going to be fun to watch!

I could see that in the nickel or dime defense....and special teams--he could help us.

This is an interesting article about the freshmen most likely to make an impact on their team--and Ty Thompson is one of them! 2021 Recruits Most Likely to Light Up College Football as True Freshmen by Bleacher Report Frankly--I thought a few others had a chance with higher probabilities, (such as Cardwell or Franklin) but the national guys at Bleacher Report feel differently.

Jordan Happle is returning, and while that gives us experience in the secondary--did we want room for the newbies to develop? Thoughts?

My recollection is that Schuler had been at four Pac-12 schools and had served as both an offensive and defensive coordinators! I know Ken Woody served at three Pac-12 schools, and I believe that Peter Sirmon is on his third Pac-12 school along with Justin Wilcox himself. I love Nick, but I think this is his issue....
