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!

Thank you!

I like the look and might ROCK it for the first game in Georgia.

Don't think most of the pressure is on the Ducks and that is proven. Lanning really has nothing to prove except beating Georgia on about an un neutral site you could be at. This is a home game for them no doubt. LOL as this is crazy yet never say never and I new Oregon would beat OSU. The odd's were just to good for Oregon to finally win that game. Oregon has a huge amount of talent so don't say never. This was a game I figured Ducks would lose and I expect Oregon to go W/O a loss in the PAC 12. Final 11-1

Like the sound of that! I really do believe Lanning is the real deal and his super staff will bring in Oregon's best class ever so each coach has actually made it better. Taggart, Mario, and now Lanning a guy who from what we hear out of his mouth and see by his actions, this dude gets it. He's in tune with how Football works in this crazy time. Thank you.

That would be huge if Lanning and staff could land this guy.

Thank you for that article Fish and all's I got to say is it's about time. Terrible team same and even worse is the organization. Goodbye makes a whole lot of sense. Funny Allen put down sell immediately yet she's hung on to the team 4 years. I always wished Knight would buy them.

Sorry but it doesn't say respect is something that you shouldn't give to people and that's what's wrong with society today as most of them don't respect anything. As far as Hutson goes he did everything right and he didn't Disrespect Mario back. If everybody respected everybody's space just their space we'd all be better off. Don't get me wrong Mario just rubbed me the wrong way and especially this last year when you could say he TANKED the season because he wanted back to that sweat shop of a State. Willie did it and look where he's at. Mario disrespected Oregon from last years ending and thought he was better than Oregon. Thing is he's not Saban or even close and he's not gonna get it done at Miami because the guy's clearly not Humble or close to it.

Oh yeah Cristabol is showing his true colors and they definitely aren't Green @ Yellow thank GOD! I mean I don't have trouble with a HC or any coach telling the player off if they made a stupid penalty because it can mean your game win or lose sometimes. Mario went overboard though. Nobody likes being screamed at. Hutson is a good young Man from what I've seen and yes it was overboard. Also fans remember what if it was a loss and if you won your in the playoff, so I could imagine everybody would have been pissed at the player.

Well Dave cheating should always be frowned on. I'm happy this happened to SC as they were way to arrogant and especially as they cheated. Old Oregon staff lets be honest weren't ready for this wave of recruiting coming their way. I mean talk about coddled. payed a ridiculous price and this is before they've ever stepped onto an NFL field or let alone played a down at the next level. Its crazy and now I believe we will top every other class Mario brought in.

His recruiting is getting better with time. Proven HC while he's been here. I should add great recruiting.
