Oregon Football Signee Spotlight: Defensive Lineman Xadavien Sims Xadavien Sims heads to Eugene as the No. 1 recruit out of the state of Oklahoma in the 2024 recruiting class. They were a lot of gifted players in San Antonio last week for the Adidas All-American Bowl, but one I was most looking forward to seeing was 2024 Durant (Okla.) defensive lineman and Oregon signee Xadavien Sims. The 6-foot-4, 290-pound defensive lineman was ranked the top player in his state and spoke with Ducks Digest about his recruitment and what's next when he enrolls at Oregon. Sims was born in Alabama and spent his first two high school seasons at Denison High School in Texas before transferring to Durant, where he became a national recruit. One of the many talented defensive linemen set to play for Tony Tuioti, he reflected on what it was like getting recruited by the Ducks. "As soon as you get on campus you just feel the vibe of the place," he said. "I don't see how somebody could get on campus and not wanna go there. It's like everything you need plus more, plus you have great coaches to coach you and develop you that have been in the NFL and all over the country developing great players and getting all these defensive linemen and defensive players to the League."

As Alabama circles, we'll wait for what Dan Lanning says and does Oregon, yet again, has another SEC program being linked to wanting to hire Dan Lanning, and this time, it's Alabama. I was at the school parking lot to pick up my oldest son from the school when he hopped in the car and asked me if I knew Nick Saban had retired. Funny how sometimes things work like that. My first thought was that today and the rest of this week will be wild and stressful for Duck fans to play out as they wait for the fate of their head coach, Dan Lanning. Alabama will most certainly come calling for Dan Lanning. They'll probably try and get him to interview. Lanning should interview for that job if I was his agent telling him what to do. Will he take it if offered? Who knows. That's where the mystery lies right now. My gut says Lanning will remain at Oregon, but I'd be lying if I felt 100 percent confident in that feeling.

Lanning loves Eugene and he loves the school at Oregon. He's said that time and time again, and he said he's committed to Oregon for the long haul even just two weeks ago.

Alabama’s Nick Saban just announced that after 17 years and seven national titles in Tuscaloosa, he would be retiring and the Crimson Tide are now in the market for a new coach. Everyone is saying Lanning’s name will be on the top of the list of replacements. But what is the tie between Oregon’s head coach and the historic program that makes it such an obvious fit?

Column: Oregon's Dan Lanning may end up at Alabama, but not in 2024 Here we go again. Oregon Duck fans over the years have gotten used to the rumors circulating about their head coach potentially having eyes for other schools, and ultimately leaving the program to “go back home.” It happened with Willie Taggart, who left for Florida State, and it happened with Mario Cristobal, who left for Miami. Minor rumors have swirled over the past two years concerning Dan Lanning, with both Auburn and Texas A&M jobs opening, but neither gained much traction in the end. The main reasoning was that the two jobs didn’t offer a step up for Lanning, who has it pretty good at Oregon, and neither offered a “return home” for the Ducks’ coach who went to William Jewell College. In reality, there were thought to only be one or two jobs that could ultimately lure Lanning away from Eugene if they opened up: Alabama and Georgia, two previous stops in the coaches’ career.

Alabama football: Dan Lanning would be ideal Nick Saban replacement Wednesday was the day that no Alabama football fan would ever be ready for. Legendary head coach Nick Saban announced his retirement after being with the program since 2007. During that time, Saban won six national titles and went an astonishing 201-29.

Interview With 2024 Adidas All-American Wide Receiver Gatlin Bair

Is Jackson Shelstad A Generational Point Guard For Oregon Men’s Basketball? I was watching Oregon MBB at MKA a week and a half ago, against the LA schools. What struck me in particular was the play of Jackson Shelstad, Oregon’s freshman PG. He was the fastest player on the Ducks, and maybe on the court; made some excellent assists, and can be an assassin when knocking down a bucket. I thought to myself while watching those games that he looks like the best freshman PG we’ve had since Luke Ridnour. At least that’s what my eyes were telling me - but is there any substantiation to the eye test? Is Jackson Shelstad A Generational Point Guard For Oregon Men’s Basketball? WWW.ADDICTEDTOQUACK.COM How does Shelstad compare to another great Oregon freshman, Luke Ridnour?
