Oregon Lands Commitment From Punter Ross James
Jon Sousa replied to NJDuck's topic in Our Beloved Ducks
This is good news! -
Another Pac-12 Monday Here in Left Coast Land
Jon Sousa replied to Jon Joseph's topic in Our Beloved Ducks
Isn't there a limit (of one) to how many times you can transfer through the portal without losing a year of eligibility or having to sit a year? I see a maximum of two transfers... once through the portal at any time, and a second only if you are a graduate transfer. The guys who have "portalled out" early and are unhappy with where they moved to are stuck. This might make others think twice about using the portal as an easy out. I think people will be more careful in the future. Another factor is if scholarship athletes lose their scholarships because no one picks them up will give athletes pause when they hear how common this is???? -
BYU and Oregon Fan Here--I Come in Peace!
Jon Sousa replied to BYUTexan's topic in Our Beloved Ducks
I would suggest for a very Oregon Coast fishing experience that you find a charter in Pacific City on a dory. They launch off the beach on the leeward side of Cape Kiwanda. The very nice ling cod in my picture was caught off a dory very close to Cape Kiwanda. The picture was taken less than a minute after I pulled it in. The reason I'm dressed so warm is that it was caught in January. Click on my picture and you can see a bigger version of it. Welcome to Oregon! -
Another Lost to the Transfer Portal--DL Jonah Miller
Jon Sousa replied to Kurt Rambis's topic in Our Beloved Ducks
I think I read that with this transfer Oregon stands at 86 scholorship athletes, which is one over the limit. They need to lose another one before September. If they land another commit or transfer, then hey have to lose 2. -
Pac-12 Opponents: Another Reason to Hate Oregon
Jon Sousa replied to Charles Fischer's topic in Our Beloved Ducks
I realize that the point of the post is showing how much better Oregon has done over the last 21 games, but I am seeing something else just as good, that almost no one ever recognizes... In the last 21 years EVERY SINGLE TEAM in the "weak" PAC 12 has been considered a top 10 team in the nation! (A minimum of 3 times each.) Can the SEC say that? Can the B1G say that? The ACC? The BIG 12? There is a reason it is hard to sweep through the PAC in conference games. -
Each Oregon Football Player Earned at Least 15K Last Year
Jon Sousa replied to Steven A's topic in Our Beloved Ducks
If this is true, she may be making more that if she was in the WNBA. There´s a good reason to stay another year. -
Phil Steele's 2022 Projected AP Preseason Top 10
Jon Sousa replied to Annie's topic in Our Beloved Ducks
...and I think that Steele was surprised. -
BREAKING: UCLA WR - Chase Cota - Coming Home to Oregon
Jon Sousa replied to a topic in Our Beloved Ducks
I was real disappointed when he didn't commit to Oregon out of HS. So... Welcome home! -
WBB: Rodgers Leads the Ducks over the Bruins 67-53
Jon Sousa replied to 30Duck's topic in Our Beloved Ducks
Thanks for the reminder. -
The article is very short on substance (and everything else), but the one point the article makes is a valid one. How many teams are going to stop the USC offense? Most people are predicting 8-10 wins for USC... WITH their "weak" O-line.

Keeping Up With Mario. His New OC Hire at Miami--And an Intern's Take
Jon Sousa replied to a topic in Our Beloved Ducks
So.... did MC finally learn his lesson? Will he finally allow the OC to have control??? I know what we are all thinking: I believe it when I see it! or, as Mahomes would say, "I'll see it when I believe it." -
...and yet, you will be at it again tomorrow. There´s no game like golf.

Dana Altman is Working Another Miracle
Jon Sousa replied to FishDuck Article's topic in Our Beloved Ducks
...and Franck reclassified. He would be a freshman right now if he hadn't. We have two more freshmen bigs now, getting some real experience. I trust they are hitting the weight room to beef up a bit like the other guys. Having true bigs is a new thing for Altman's Oregon teams. They will make a real difference. -
A Calming of the Storm between Arizona and Oregon

How does this mesh with the after game handshake?? -
Mario Cristobal REJECTED by Another OC Candidate at Miami

Congressman Looking at Mario's Miami Contract
Jon Sousa replied to 30Duck's topic in Our Beloved Ducks
...for which they receive a tax-deductible receipt... I think that might be the point. -
That!! I think that, in all probability, MC invited Pittman to leave for this very reason.

This Sucks: Logan Sagapolu Enters the Portal
Jon Sousa replied to Charles Fischer's topic in Our Beloved Ducks
Hmmmmmmmm..... -
A couple questions/observations: The question has to do with how many recruits and transfers can be legally taken by a school. Every time someone leaves via portal or for the NFL or due to injury or anything else, my original thought is that it opens up a spot for a portal transfer coming in. But I think last year I read (here?) that a school can only take a limit of 25 new players between HS recruits and Portal transfers COMBINED??? All this can be very bad for a school. What if, through the various exit doors a school loses 40 players in a year... can they only receive 25 scholarship players to replace them? My observation is that there is a limit of the use of the portal to ONE transfer per career. If a athlete transfers again (without being a graduate transfer) he/she would have to sit out a year or lose a year of eligibility. This rule will lead to a little bit of stability down the line. If you are going to transfer through the portal... choose wisely...

New Oregon Assistant a HC Candidate for Hawaii?
Jon Sousa replied to Charles Fischer's topic in Our Beloved Ducks
Hopefully not. -
I was worried at 10-0. Paopao was awesome. Prince was a scoring machine... get the pass, turn around, and shoot! Sabally hopefully is OK. It did not look good. She was still struggling after the game.
-
I very much missed getting Cota out of high school. I would be nice.

Credentials Like This for "Quality Control" at Oregon?
Jon Sousa replied to Charles Fischer's topic in Our Beloved Ducks
Looks like DL has learned from the big boys in the SEC that you can improve your staff and your team by having a bunch of "off the field" assistants/consultants/football brainiacs. -
Is Washington the Worst Team in the Pac-12?
Jon Sousa replied to 30Duck's topic in Our Beloved Ducks
What interested me in his power rankings is that the top team in the north is Oregon and second place belongs to the Beavers. I wouldn't be surprised. -
There is a new HC, a new OC, and a new RB coach. Verdell coming back is no guarantee that he will start over Dye or have more reps than Dye. Verdell will have to prove that he is better than Dye in several areas to win back the starting job. That may not be easy. One of Verdell´s biggest knocks is his obvious problem with injury. It is what will hold him way back in the NFL draft. How many times has CJV lost snaps because of injury? How many snaps has Dye lost to injury?
