"People-Mover" Jordon Scott: I DON'T AGREE, do You?
The guy's got a motor. He over-ran several plays throughout the season. Coaching is going to make him a total beast. He's got half a year playing D-1 football and he is a "true freshman" entering this year. Look out world! I can't wait to see what two Flowe brothers are going to bring to the table this year... oh yeah, we have someone coming in from Lebanon. 🙂

I would be surprised if he is drafted. I would not be surprised if he is signed as a free agent.

At Each Position: Recruiting Success at a Glance
Kind of scary seeing Alabama taking down so many top spots. SC is up there in quite a few. Where´s the rest of the PAC 12?

New Safeties Coach Marcel Yates Hiring is "Semi-Official"
2020 is a horrible year to have your only year anywhere.

Men Improve THEIR NCAA Seeding, Need MORE
Seems like 8 or 9 is the worst spot to "move up to". Better to be at 11.

It's Time For The Ducks To Stuff The Buffs
I really enjoyed watching Franck Kepnang. I was very happy that Coach trusted him with the last few minutes of EO´s playing time. FK stepped up well. He is going to be a force -- already is.

Basketball Bliss? Five Fantastic Duck Days of Hoops!
Thanks Charles. Unfortunately, I can only watch 2 of the 4. Hoping for the 5 game sweep.

NEXT Football Season? "Oregon Well-Positioned for a MONSTER 2021"
All three points are true. A run is possible. We can go 12-1 and end up in the playoffs. We can also go 9-3 and not get to the championship game. A lot of things have to come together. The funny ball has to bounce the right way.

Marcel Yates
As does everyone else. Certainly, MC is not only modeling it, but also teaching it to all his coaches. All of the recruits talk about their relationship with MC.

Marcel Yates
This looks like a great hire. I especially like the fact that DeRuyter and Yates were together last year... and they BOTH wanted to be together this year. I'm thinking DeRuyter had a lot to say about this hire. This hire makes Cristobal look like gold.

Done. What a good game by both teams.

Ashford's Plan for Football and Baseball: "He's Been Impressive so Far"
Good to see BA giving both sports his best shot. Self discipline is key.

It's Not Going Well At WSU
DUDES! You are too good of players to waste it! People are forgiving but there is a limit. Often the limit is once, which you have already reached. Keep your heads down, study hard, and give the rest of the PAC 12 your best game every week. Most importantly, WIN ALL YOUR OOC GAMES!!!!

ESPN's Most Intriguing Rookie at Oregon
YUP! I hope he stays the whole 4 years without declaring for the NFL early.

Athlon: Ranking the Pac-12 Rosters
...and doing very well in it. I am surprised at how many former 4* they are getting the last couple of years.

Tyler Shough in the Transfer Portal
Arroyo would love to have him. Lots of teams would.

Tyler Shough in the Transfer Portal
I doubt it. Last year TS was one of the top fifty QBs in the whole country. He could probably start at almost any mid-level power 5 school in the country.

Tyler Shough in the Transfer Portal
This is the reason that this is not good news. AB has experience but he wasn't all that impressive in his limited number of snaps. Now, Butterfield, Ashford, and Ty Thompson HAVE to step up and be good. AB is gone in one year, and that should encourage everyone else to stay in the room. Ashford has a good reason to stay because of baseball. His talents will be highlighted well with the Ducks. How well he does on the football field depends on how much time he wants to put into football as opposed to baseball.

Detailed Historical Breakdown of the DeRuyter Defense
Thanks Charles, for this link. It was interesting to see his defense going up against Mighty Mariota, Barner, and DAT. It made me want to take a look at our games against CAL the last couple of years, just to watch CAL´s defense.

Womens Game vs. Cal on Friday Postponed
This is EXACTLY what I was talking about on the Women's BB thread. It is hard to find a rhythm when it is being broken up so much. They miss a competitive game against Cal that should be a tune up for the big game on Monday against #5 Stanford. But NO! we have to go straight to the Stanford game. Instead of 2 games to get better in, they only have 1. Charles, I am totally with your GIF.

No. 5 in ESPN's 2021 Pre-Season Poll? Whew!
Iowa State at 7 is pretty good. They can justify two spots to the Ducks because of the last couple recruiting cycles... I'm sure that's how ESPN was thinking. "Look Oregon fans....we cannot claim lack of respect or being passed over by national media." This is what I have been thinking for a while. We may not DESERVE all the respect at times, but the PAC 12 is still POWER 5. There were a total of 5 that's FIVE PAC 12 teams in the top 25.

Oregon Women’s Basketball Searching for Identity
One problem the ladies have had is simply the interruptions that COVID has made throughout the season. Normally, teams have regularly scheduled practices and games. There is a rhythm That flows throughout the week. When we see that one person can't play due to "protocols", that person might have practiced all week with the team but a positive test pulls them out of the game. All that practice with her on the floor is lost for that game. She may be out of practice for the whole next week, but then be eligible to play the following weekend - but without the benefit of practice! I think it has been twice this season that the entire team was sidelined with all team activities "suspended". How does that help the team rhythm??? They finally get back to practice and the first game they play in a week and a half or two weeks is against a top ten team. You get my point. We have no clue who can or cannot practice any given day, and that affects how well the whole team plays together when the game is on the line. I trust Coach Graves, his staff, and his team are giving it their very best every day.
