    Where Oregon Ducks stand in first expanded Big Ten 2024 recruiting rankings

     

    One of the most important ways to build a roster and set yourself up for success is via recruiting, where Lanning has established himself as one of the best in the nation during his coaching career. But with the move to the new conference, will Oregon be able to recruit among the best?

     

    The results are in after the first official 2024 recruiting cycle class rankings.

    Lanning: 'This is the most talented roster I've had since we've been here'

     

    Oregon has had one of the top recruiting classes in the country as well as tearing it up in the transfer portal.  The Big Ten wanted the Ducks, but after next season, they might come to regret that invitation.

     

    My feelings, they got us on the cheap.  Big Ten will be reaper big rewards in television views per game and future playoff money.

    Dan Lanning breaks down 2024 signing class, previews upcoming spring season

     

    Wednesday is a notable event in the world of college football, with the 2024 recruiting cycle officially coming to a close.

     

    While the Oregon Ducks signed the bulk of their players during the early signing period back in December, they were able to add a massive piece Wednesday, signing 5-star wide receiver Gatlin Bair to the class.

     

    On Wednesday morning, head coach Dan Lanning (see post No. 1) went on with the Oregon Sports Network radio show, talking to hosts Joey McMurry and Jerry Allen about the latest recruiting class while also looking ahead to the upcoming spring season and giving a bit of a preview for the upcoming 2024 season.

     

    Here are some of the most notable quotes from that interview:

    All about the Iowa Hawkeyes: 

     

    Cornfields and pig farms cover much of the landscape of perhaps the most quintessentially “Midwest” midwestern state: Iowa. Across more than a century of sports history, football players and wrestlers have emerged from those fields with regularity.

     

    Basketball players, too. Ask reigning national player of the year and soon-to-be leading scorer in NCAA history Caitlin Clark. But what is there to know about Iowa beyond Clark’s unstoppable jumper, the sweetest corn you’ve ever tasted, and their first-in-the-nation caucuses come presidential election season?

     

    As the Oregon Ducks prepare for a move to the Big Ten in 2024, The Oregonian/OregonLive is taking a look at all of their newest conference rivals. While Ducks fans might be deeply familiar with fellow Pac-12 departees Washington, USC and UCLA, they have 14 new teams to get to know this year.

     

    Next up is the Iowa Hawkeyes.

    Oregon Continues to Solidify Top Standing With ELITE Running Back Jordon Davison

     

    Max Torres gives his latest recruiting update on 2025 Santa Ana (Calif.) Mater Dei RB Jordon Davison, who was one of many big-time visitors this past weekend.

     

     

    Jordon Davison Raves About Return Visit to Oregon

    The Ducks' top running back target in the 2025 class was back in Eugene and gives the latest.

     

    2025 Santa Ana (Calif.) Mater Dei running back Jordon Davison has long been a priority for Oregon and coach Carlos Locklyn.  He's got just about every offer in the country and has been to Oregon numerous times.

     

    So why did he want to get back this weekend?

     

    "It's a special place  They're going in the right direction," he told Ducks Digest following his most recent trip to Eugene.  "The development that Coach Lock has had with the players in his room and the ones that's leaving is unbelievable.  Coach Lannng, he's very consistent, down to earth.  He always spends time around me and my family.  I feel like it's truly genuine."

     

    The 5-foot-11, 205-pound ballcarrier gave some highlights from the trip.

     

    "Just being around it in general.  Being around some of the players.  Interacting with Coach Lock and sitting down talking with Coach (Dan) Lanning."

     

     

    Oregon Fans NEED TO KNOW About This 2025 Defensive Lineman

     

    Max Torres offers his latest Oregon Football recruiting update on 2025 Matthews (NC) Weddington High School defensive lineman Trajen Odom. Odom was offered by the Ducks last month and the Ducks have made a HUGE impression in his recruitment. He took his first trip to Eugene over the weekend and West Coast ties could be what Oregon needs to pull an emerging D-lineman out of SEC country.
