I agree that MC had very good recruiting classes, but with transfers out, erosion of the 2022 class, and graduations/NFL draft players, it is going to be very interesting to see what the two and three deep looks like, on both sides of the ball, in the spring and the start of fall practice. Don't want to discount CK teams, I might consider the Natty team vs. Auburn, the best Oregon team ever.

Good thoughts provide here. I agree that it is easier to get offensive talent to Eugene, than defense. Bigger, fast, strong, works on both sides to the ball. The perennial top 5 teams recruit better and thus have better players than their opponents, and as they execute well, points naturally follow. Oregon will probably recruit at slightly under that level, so offensive creativity will, and should be a part of the offensive game plan. Top interior D lineman will usually be at a premium at Oregon, but top linebackers and DB's should be able to be recruited here. Again a little creativity will be necessary to reach the elite team level.

Just have to say, it is nice to see a long time Duck fan and supporter, have such spot on insight into the what has been occurring, the last few years with Cristobal as head coach. The way the current transition is occurring, I think the team and staff might struggle, in 2022, but I am excited for the team, moving forward.

Don't think Justin Herbert would have a public problem with Bo using 10, but Bo might chose to tread lightly as he tries to mesh with this team and fan base.
