  1. I was pretty stoked with what I saw. I think we'll have a legit group of guys at every position group. The D made it pretty hard for the O to move the ball. It seems like defensive technique is usually slower to develop than offense so I'll take that as a good sign the D will be ready by the opener. All four QBs look ready for minutes I could give props to every one of them which hasn't been the case in the past.

     

    I think being in the mix to win the BIG is a legit possibility. The crowd had good energy. It won't be long until Puddles owns the BIG 10 Network!

  2. Great article. I think more needs to be made of this topic. It seems to me that an elite eight level group of players all decided to take their talents elsewhere as the Ducks had one of the worst seasons in program history.

     

    Just as women’s hoops has reached an all time popularity high, the Ducks are at an all time low. This looks very similar to Ernie Kent’s elite eight team becoming a bottom dweller just a year later.

     

    May be time for a coaching change. Seems like Campbell would be the obvious choice.

  3. Something just seems off to me in this story. Coach Lock’s RBs were one of the best groups in the country last year. Even so, he didn’t get the pay increase that the rest of the staff received and was gone just a couple weeks later.

     

    I’m 100% on the Lanning train and back his judgment on these matters but it seems to me that he wasn’t completely sold on Coach Lock for some reason.

     

    I fully expect another home run hire that out performs the last guy. That seems to be how coach Lanning roles.

  4. It seems to me that the SEC would like to be an NFL minor league and the BIG is doing everything they can to keep up with the SEC which sets them in the same direction.The biggest problem with this point of view is that by being a minor league, you're know longer a top banana. Dos anybody know who won the last AAA World Series? How about who one the G League Championship? Canadian Football League champion? No?

     

    This is what happens when you are a minor league. Nobody outside of the immediate fan base will care.

     5 star (9) and 4 star (4) players transferred out the last 3 years.  That was and is the unaddressed problem.

    Not only did they transfer out, but most are excelling on top 20 teams in starting roles. Something is very wrong with this team. The departure of Mark Campbell seams to be a big part of the issue. This feels similar but even worse than Ernie Kent's final year. I loved Coach Kent but when it was time to go, it was time to go.

    Noted that Muhammad mentioned Wadood recruiting him but not Coach Meat. I'll bet that this move was anticipated. Sorry to see him go but hopefully existing DBs and recruits were in the know and we won't see a lot of movement of players. 

    The vibe I’m getting is that promoting Wadood would please the players.


    I think Lanning knows a thing or two about the potential of highly motivated defensive recruiting machines!
