Duckhart

He and his fam will probably settle down in Oahu soon. He could get into coaching on the Island helping out young people.

This is what I see down the road as it makes a lot of since in mind. https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=&ved=2ahUKEwjes4bqwrH9AhXsMjQIHQsGA6UQFnoECEIQAQ&url=https%3A%2F%2Fspinnablesports.com%2F2023%2F01%2F23%2Fcollege-football-expansion-what-if-there-were-super-conferences%2F&usg=AOvVaw28i5EMZSoqQH7-vqDDiaUG

Pac 10 schools should just join the b12 now as its going to eventually happen anyway with there super conferences. If something was more viable for the short and long term it would have happened by now, imo.

You could lose Colorado, AZ, ASU to B12. May lose them anyway.

Its to bad that the B12 and Pac couldn't merge into a super conference as that's the way it will probably end up in 5 years or so anyway.

Tall order win or make championship game. Going to be tough to even make the playoffs, imo. Id settle for a Rose Bowl bid....

Why co-defensive coordinators? salaries?

Agree it will take a few years and as you say and year four should be evident. Like with any improvement plan there needs to be annual objective performance ratings as well so I do hope to see incremental improvement starting next year and the years after.

Trying to be hopeful and optimistic about how our D must improve considerably next year. Its was a total embarrassment this year but I guess it has nothing to do with DC but the players he had to work with?

I thought the first order of business in the off season would be to hire another DC. If Lanning doesn't and they are bad again next year that reflects on his ability to improve the D, the prominent reason reason he was hired here.

Ducks win 47-38 2 take aways 2 sacks 298 passing yards

I think that's what they are wearing for Holiday Bowl.

One of them could jump I the transfer Portal after next year and brother up?

Got to admit Mario is one hell of a recruiter. #5 for 2023

Did he sign a LOI? or is it still verbal.

Limar!

I think the NIL & Portal for players is great! They now have some freedom that the NCAA prevented them to have for all too long. Capitalism strong!

It's not just money, Mario in front of Mom & Dad is very compelling. He has been known as a top notch recruiter for years now.

When that visit pic with him came out and he had shades on, I viewed that as a bad sign. Also, his announcement pic has Hollywood and dry rolling hills in the back ground. When a kid from the mid west goes to Cali in the winter it's easy to get energized by the sunny surroundings. You really can't Blame him for wanting to go to an exciting big market. We will be fine, there are so many excellent players available every year through the portal.

If Phil wants this kid, don't you think he stands a good chance in getting bringing him here?

Sure, the trust is there as he and staff put together a really nice season. It will be this year however that we should se some improvement in the defense, after all it is his wheel house. Yep, it'll take a few years to see Lanning's defense evolve if it's going too. I worry about just how good. the DC is when recruiting parents in the home, seems a bit rough around the edges. If we are able to get high level recruits here for opportunities to sell Oregon's program and don't seem to be doing so after this year and such, then we have to figure out why we aren't closing on players.

Now we know how UW feels.
