Bandon.

From the looks and sounds of this young man he will no doubt get a 5th star associated to his name. He is a hard worker from what I've seen and could invision Dante Moore throwing bombs to him in the near future. By the looks of his game if he keeps playing like he is and working just as hard he'll more than likely be a future first rounder.

Just a heads up people Wilfong is saying Oregon could have two quacks real soon. He was talking about the 5 star QB from Detroit, 5 star Young and the OT back east. Apparently Wilfong says Oregon has a leg up on these 3 and if even two were to commit and especially the QB Moore then Oregon's class would then start to go into the stratosphere. Read in on Duck Wire. I'm stoked for this weekend to get over with. Maybe going to the beach with the Mrs not that we can afford it but gonna try and go anyways. Just wait till we get back and find out the news.

Agreed!

Great stuff Josh. I do find myself not fully agreeing with you on most everything you usually put out there. Lets start with Oregon will never flounder at the bottom end of the PAC 12 ever again or shouldn't ever. Phil Knight has made Oregon to me just in everything he's had built here Top 10 school W/O a doubt. Nike will more than likely be the top shoe sports apparel for the forseable future. Yes it's not gonna happen this year but not so fast. Oregon has 7 Five star players coming to Oregon for officials in the next two weeks. 12 Four star players and 1 three star. That's massive recruiting being done right there. I remember looking at Georgia's classes the last 3 years and they were always 5 and 4 star classes pretty much full. If Oregon gets just half of these players to say sign in December that would be Oregon's best class to date trumping Mario by leaps and bounds. Do I think Oregon wins it all this year? No but is there enough talent to get Oregon to the promised land? Yes I believe that. Its really up to Bo to show out this year and bring that 5 star ranking to the forefront. Oregon is finally getting close and I do except that fans should expect Oregon to take that next step and good for them to want this. I'm an old fan and I'm not certainly saying ancient either just old enough to know where it started with me and where we are right now. I expect Oregon to be putting themselves to the top and I mean the top of the PAC 12 not SC.

You could look at that way. There are 7 five star talented players coming to Oregon in the next 2 weeks. Twelve 4 star and one 3 star recruit. That's exactly how Lanning and the staff did it at Georgia and all their classes were this talented who actually signed on every year and it finally payed off with their championship year. Lanning is very bright young football mind and I feel a whole lot better with him at the helm and he hasn't coached 1 game yet that means anything than Mario ever. Oregon will figure this out and look how Georgia beat BAMA last year, they did it with basically sub par QB play. I wouldn't say their QB was the top of the A list. They did it with great defensive game plan which was Lanning and great defenders. If Oregon say lands 4 of these 5 stars and most of the 4 stars this will indeed trump anything Mario has done.

Sorry I cannot take any stock in what that guy ever says. There is no way Utah beats Oregon in Eugene as it's not going to happen. Oregon should end their 12 game season with 1 loss and that will be to Georgia. Oregon with their AD went out and got the best that money could buy to coach these players. Now with success Oregon will need to pay their coaches better money to keep these coaches here for hopefully three seasons. When and if they do decide to leave the coaches that replace them keeps the machine running smooth.

You know we should all acknowledge right now we are impressed with Dan and his way of looking ahead and what it will take to make the goals they indeed want. We know Mario was the HC who allegedly new about O Lineman. Lanning went out and got a real Big O Lineman who actually played the position in all phases of Football and then when done coached at the top of the league himself. Now I've made references in the past about Mario and Minnie me. Myself if I were 6,5 and 320 lbs and had upside who would I be more apt to believe in their abilities to get me to the next league a guy who stands at 5,2 and maybe 160lbs or a guy who fits the bill as my line coach? I'm laughing at this scenario going ahead. Look at where Conerly was gonna go to and that was SC. Klemm worked that Lineman talk and brought him to a better place. I have a whole lot of faith Klemm secures both the bookend Tackles who are both 5 stars. Oregon's trajectory is the sky right now and I'm wondering who will this staff go after for their signal caller? My opinion is there is talent out there and believe Oregon doesn't have to pay for him either as far as 7 million they wont.

It all ends up at the same door! MONEY. That's what society is and that's obvious in every aspect about life. As far as this staying back in school for advantage this should have rules like everything else does and this should be no different. Its not fair to a kid that doesn't quite have any idea about sports yet. Competition is great and if these kids are that good then they should move ahead not stay behind. Just like now a QB from HS got 7 Million from Tennessee to play. The guy allegedly was interested in Oregon just like this other star whom allegedly we wont pay for him and at one time was Oregon's until pay for play came to the four front. At one time I remember hearing Knight wasn't ever interested in the Blazers now apparently is. So will this work for Oregon as in not going out and paying for the best QB? To me is it what it is now and that's pay for play so all's I know is I want a Championship and frankly don't care how they do it " Just do it. "

Like the comment on how this team should perform. Also this roster is loaded with talent so hopefully Dan and his staff get the best out of the talent. Here's hoping this team catches fire and keeps kicking tail all year. Would be nice to see Flowe playing injury free all seasons and seeing him kick arsss when he's hitting people. That duo of Flowe and Sewell is gonna be one heck of a Football machine.

Yeah I agree totally with you. Why on earth would you pay this kid 7 million like the last kid we were alleged to get. I mean I'm sure we could do it but when would it stop. Believe me this new recipe will not last. So we can only hope which ever way Oregon goes hopefully it results in the playoff's and our first championship.

It is a business though so I believe if Oregon wants to compete with the SEC and just win a championship they will need to do whatever that takes. Money talks and you know what walks!

I just read this on another site and WOW I couldn't be more stoked!

All great points. These coaches are running with this and look at June and recruiting? The best talent ever is going to come here and hang out and whatever going on here were going to enjoy it all. Only thing I can think of why we'd fail in any way and that would be injury's. I think we've had our share and can we please have no injuries this season please. Also believe this is what comes from the transfer portal and recruiting as in players who can play in space. Go Ducks as I can't wait till September.

Who are we kidding it's all about the money!
