I couldn't find any good highlight videos of Jericho Johnson but love his size (6’4” 300 lbs.). Ayden Breland is ~290 lbs and very athletic for his size. Our coaches are absolutely killing it on the defensive line. It’s going to be fun to watch Oregon’s defense wreck havoc for years to come! Go Ducks!

For anyone who knows, what is the difference between DE and EDGE?

Because Florida State has won 2 National Championships in the past 10 years (beating top SEC teams), brings lots of eyeballs for TV advisers while expanding the media market footprint and further opens up the talent rich Florida recruiting market?

“Florida State calls emergency board meeting, could take first step toward leaving ACC, per reports” There are also rumblings that Clemson might have found a way out of the ACC grant of right. Florida State calls emergency board meeting, could take first step toward leaving ACC, per reports - CBSSports.com WWW.CBSSPORTS.COM Momentum has only increased for an ACC departure after FSU was left out of the College Football... What's next for Florida State and the ACC? - ESPN WWW.ESPN.COM Being left out of the College Football Playoff has the Seminoles again thinking...

Recruiting is the lifeblood of a college football program. Dan Lanning believes that both high school and transfer portal recruiting is important. We hope that the high school recruits, with the help of our coaches, will become impact players for the Ducks. However, if they don’t develop as expected, are injured or transfer out, then the transfer portal is a viable option to plug holes in the roster or upgrade talent at critical positions. Oregon’s goal should always be to compete for a conference championship and make the expanded college football playoff. Our coaching staff needs to determine what is needed to achieve that goal.

I’m sorry but I don’t understand the logic in the article. How does joining the B1G prevent Dan Lanning from becoming the head coach at Georgia (or Alabama)? These teams are built to win championships now, are playing in the top college football conference, are surrounded by elite high school football talent and are known to pay more for their head coaches than Oregon ever has. If the author mentioned a non-power 2 conference team or a middle to bottom tier team from one of the power 2 conferences, I would agree, but Georgia?

BTW, congrats Bulldog fans on signing the #1 recruiting class. Oregon under Dan Lanning is closing the gap but still has some work to do.

Can an SEC like built team compete in the B1G? We are about to find out. Oregon = Georgia West Based on how Dan Lanning is building the team (quantity of dudes, cleaning up on defense, adding talented skill players). He’s learned from Kirby Smart and Nick Saban. Getting most of the top players in California and West of the Mississippi. Is there a better coach at flipping commits with signing day coming up? Good stuff. Worth the listen.

Mario also chased star rankings. I have a lot more faith in our current staff’s ability to evaluate talent and not just rely on the recruiting rankings.

You could make the case that Helfrich was the best evaluator of QB talent but he wasn’t an elite recruiter. IIRC, Tua Tagovailoa grew up a Marcus Mariota and Oregon Ducks fan. There is no way that Lanning and Stein would have let Tua get away (see Dillon Gabriel).

Ohio State has had some really good WRs over the past few years. Hopefully, Jeremiah McClellan fits the mold.

BREAKING: Kansas State S Kobe Savage to transfer to Oregon Ducks SPORTS.YAHOO.COM The Ducks just landed a big-time player at a major position of need. Kansas State safety Kobe...

If he does, he does. Gabriel -> Moore -> Smith, Jr.

Dante Moore commits to Oregon: Ex-UCLA QB, one-time Ducks commit, joins Dillon Gabriel through transfer portal - CBSSports.com WWW.CBSSPORTS.COM Moore was committed to Oregon before flipping to UCLA late in the recruiting cycle

Charles called it a couple of weeks ago!!! Gabriel and Moore to Oregon… “Though the Ducks were able to land Oklahoma transfer Dillon Gabriel earlier in the month, they still managed to convince Moore to come to Eugene and develop under one of the best young offensive coordinators in the nation, waiting in the wing for a year with the promise of taking over one of the most explosive offenses in all of college football in 2025. In terms of wins in the transfer portal, it’s hard to image a bigger victory for the Oregon Ducks at this point. With Heisman finalist Bo Nix heading off to the NFL, Lanning and the Ducks now landed two of the best passers on the open market this offseason, setting up his team for as bright of a future as you could imagine.” BREAKING: UCLA QB Dante Moore to transfer to Oregon Ducks SPORTS.YAHOO.COM History repeats itself. Dante Moore is going to be a Duck.

Kobe Savage has the potential to be the best safety Oregon has had in years. He is a hard hitting safety, who makes plays in open space, and has good ball skills. Oregon’s safeties have been mediocre in pass coverage the past few years. I didn’t get a good sense for Kobe’s coverage abilities in the below highlight video but he looks plenty fast and athletic to be a good coverage safety.

Thank you for the update.

Jay Harris runs a lot like Bucky Irving, IMHO. Great balance and runs tough. Not sure he has Bucky’s top-end speed (we’ll see). Very good pickup. This is one of the things that I like about the transfer portal - the opportunity for a talented player to show what he can do at the highest levels of college football.

Herbert should have signed with another franchise, who knows how to build a championship team around him. The Chargers have no fans (Cacker Guy might be the only one left!) and are a joke of an organization.

The difference is that Moore played early and came to the personal realization that if he wants to become the QB he is capable of becoming then he might be better served sitting behind a veteran QB and learning (a very mature, thoughtful approach). Malachi had that opportunity last year and now wants to see what he can do on the field. I definitely don’t blame him for wanting to play and I do not blame Riley for pursuing a transfer QB, if he believes that Malachi is not ready and someone gives him a better chance to win in 2024. It’s a lot like Oregon’s situation with TT.

“Terms of the amended game contract were not immediately disclosed, but a source with knowledge of the matter told The Oregonian/OregonLive the total payouts from UO to BSU for the two games will be $2.6 million. The existing contract called for the home team to pay the visitor $300,000 in 2024 and 2025 and UO to pay BSU $800,000 in 2026, with $1 million for breach of contract.” Oregon is reportedly paying $2.6M to Boise State to shift around the schedule to play the Civil War the next 2 years. That’s a lot of money to pay especially given the team you are trying to help is trying to stick it to you financially.

Want to see their heads explode? Go on that thread and tell them that Oregon recovered the onside kick. LOL.

I have PTSD watching NAi’s defenses. His defenses were very good when he had experienced, lock down corners but it was painful to watch when he didn’t. I still remember two young but very talented CBs getting absolutely torched and NA not making any adjustments. He refused to play zone or have safeties over the top, and insisted on leaving his corners on islands. In other words, he didn’t adjust for the talent he had. I always knew the opposing offense would pick up a 3rd and long (and consequently hoped for a 3rd and short instead). I love Nick but Dan Lanning is 1,000x better as a defensive coach.
