Cole Martin contested
Already wise beyond his years, got to love a coaches kid. He looked very capable of having a big impact soon, with great instincts and the athleticism to keep with speedy WR.

The SEC transfers looked good, a little rusty but an upgrade across the board.
Happy with the secondary for the most part. Looked like the guys competing for starting positions where not giving up a lot of easy passes.
TTs looking better but not great, first pass of the game was 6 for the defense.
Funa looks like he's picking up where he left off and could be a big factor on the edge this year.
Surprised the D line didn't get more pressure on the QB which might be due to not being able to touch him.
Was hoping to see more out of the LBs.

This team is really starting to run on all cylinders, both on offence and defend. Really fun to watch a team that disciplined and make very few mistakes.
Go Ducks.

Having the twin towers next year will be amazing.

With Bo Nix at QB, Oregon is in win now mode. Bring in whomever can help us win a conference championship and make the playoffs. Obviously Oregon’s coaches have observed Bryant and believe that he can help the team.I know what they are trying to do I just don't like it nor do I think it's a great approach. The win now approach rarely works in college football, teams that have been together and work together come out on top most the time.
Bryant quit the team after three games last season because he didn't get enough playing time. Those guys work out as long as you give them the ball a lot but if not they're nothing but a big distraction in the locker room. Looks like a very capable return man which we need but with the limited scholarships we have I think there's much thinner positions that need them more than the deepest WR room we've ever had.

Bring in another WR that going to take time away from the development of an extremely talented group of underclassmen doesn't seem to me to be a good move.
We've heard good things about these guys are they going to stick around and wait for their junior or senior year for playing time? Personally I think there's so much talent on the team at WR that backups would start on most teams. Develop them for the future and leave the scholarship for a TE.
-
Great game, the pitching this year is really looking up and the batting is something to behold. When this team comes out swing watch out!
The fielding has also been on point with very few errors and smart decision. How about that diving catch by Shade!

The only drawback for Bronny, is he likely is a one and done regardless of if he truly is ready for the NBA. Lebron says he wants to play basketball with his son. Just about any team would be willing to draft Bronny to have Lebron for a couple of years.
That would be a shame for Bronny, from what I've seen he's going to need to make a big jump to be NBA ready. Even if he did get on the NBA team would they play him? The team dynamic would be very interesting and talk about a distraction.
He's going to need two to three years minimum of college to get ready for the big league otherwise he's just jeopardizing his career. Then again I guess he doesn't need the money so if your ultimate goal is to practice and maybe play at the professional level with your old man then all the power to them.
I haven't gotten the I'm NBA ready vibe from him unlike many of the five-star recruits.

Shelstads looks to be the real deal and an early contributor to the Ducks. James and him seem to have a good chemistry together and could make up a core (think Pritchard and Duarte) duo for the next 2-4 seasons. Both of them are high energy hustle players that are quick on defense and deadly from outside.
Dana is going to have to learn how to deal with media and for some reason I feel James is less of a primadonna than many of the five stars we had. From what I've seen of James he looks to be a team player and not afraid to play hard defense.
Shelstad is going to need players around him, especially ones he can click with.

Surprisingly I actually like the move, I think this kid will have work ethic, profession, overall great sense of the game. He's a dangerous three-point shooter which has been lacking the last 2 years. ( By the way Peyton put up a triple double today!)
Like it or not it's all about the Brand now. This would raise the profile of the University of Oregon and add to their media rights perceived value. Ultimately raising the profile of the University of Oregon athletic programs.
I don't know why but I get the feeling that this will not end up like the Balls in UCLA, unlike some five-star players he has more to prove and could be a solid three to four year contributor.
We lacked depth in multi-year players that have always driven the program in the past. That combined with the media exposure good or bad drives the desirability of the organ media market higher.
I don't like it but it seems to be the way it is now, just look at the University of Colorado.

The come back from 10 down was a great game. Don't even know why I kept watching when I tunedin in the 3rd and saw the score, sure glad I did.
The pitching, especially the bullpen looks better this year. To many times last year we just didn't finish the game strong from the mound.

Miami
I second that, preferably next year (I know it's impossible but it would be allot of fun)
-
I think next year will be better as we will have a core group back that buys into his game plan. Love Richardson but he just didn't have "it" and couldn't be the on floor leader that the team desperately needed.
Hope one of the seniors steps up and leads the team with those crucial crunch time shots and energy this team lacked. Also having a guy that shoots closer to 40% from three would help tremendously.

Going to be tough. UConn is now ranked #1 by KenPom.
UConn looks like the real deal, I don't think SDSU's bigs can hold up to UConn's. The Aztec's have surprise me every game and are great at D so you never know, I give them 30% chance.

Really hope they pull it off and win the big one!

When the team you're playing is hot and scoring it's best to keep scoring. It is not the time to slow down, go conservative, and try to hold on to your slim lead.
I don't thing Mario would agree, my heart thanks the new coaching staff for giving me less computations.

Great game, way to keep your heads in the game down 10.

I really like that he's focusing on route running and not tipping your hand to the DB.

Jestin Jacobs is coming off surgery so it's a tough ask for him to step into the Money LB role... He's a bit big for the role anyway so I think he and Keith Brown will be Mac with Bassa playing at Money.
Your probably right but I hope Jacobs can takeover for Bassa at money. From what I've seen of Jacobs he is great in coverage sticking with smaller fast guys just fine while also being able to stand up to bigger TEs.
He also looks to be a better tackler than Bassa. Bassa was in the right place often but he missed a lot of open field tackles and got pushed around by big TEs. If Bassa can step up and make tackles Jacobs and him could do great things in pass coverage. Otherwise I rather see what Brown and Jacobs can do.
Jacobs is much better athlete. Only a one game sample but this guy is the real deal.

If Jermaine Couisnard stays healthy and develops more consistency he could be a good leader next year. I like his game and when he's on he's hard to stop.
Bittle had improved on offence and really need to learn how to defend without fouling which put him on the bench a lot. Great energy just needs to focus it.
Soares is all over the place and is a really good defender. He's very athletic and has some great moves on offence but just never seams to finish. If he could figure out the offensive side and really practice is shots he could be a great player.
Ware probably leaves for the NBA but he truly needs more time in college ball to mature into a better defender and team player. Hope he get some good advice or he's probably follow the likes of Wooten into obscurity.
Dante has achieved what he's needed to to become a legitimate NBA player and will move on. Would be great to see him back but chances are slim.
Barthelemey had some great game but tended to force up shots when he should of been dishing the ball to the to the bigs on his somewhat out of control drives. Hope you learns how to distribute the ball a little better and they could really help meld the team together.
The Ducks basketball team has lacked returning players in the last few years which has really hurt the team cohesiveness. The more players that come back the better. With the talented incoming freshman class, having a veteran presence gives them time to find their roles and transition into the college game. It would be nice to have a year with less portal action.

Both streamers need the PAC Network for quality broadcasts. They need camera operators, equipment and command centers. They need on field and on air talent. The streamers are probably needing the PAC to help them lay out the road map.
Makes me think that the PAC 12 Networks are signing up with a steamer for distribution. The major hangup might be dealing with the Dish Network and local cable company broadcasting rights. Amazon or Apple probably want exclusive rights worldwide.

Really looking forward to those 3 point shots, very fluid with range. Just the thing the Ducks have been missing.

This is quite intriguing, I have seen the channel I think I even get it on my TV antenna! This deal might make a lot of sense for a channel wanting to get into sports and obviously bringing a hold different demographic of viewership. Show me the money!

Let him bomb it, worst case scenario 45 yd interception best case scenario touchdown. The deep throws look to be one his strength anyways.
This year's WR core looks to be one of the most lethal ever. Tez looks like a legit threat to take it to the house every time. Holden is a solid possession guy, Hudson has become more consistent and smarter, Franklin is the man and almost always seams to have a step on the defense.
With these guys he'd have a hard time not doing something great down field. All of these guys go and get the ball and don't wait for it to come to them, which I love to see.
Please don't ask him to lightly throw a ball to someone behind him when there's better options.
