    Oregon extends offer to former Colorado Buffaloes tight end

     

    It may have seemed like the Oregon Ducks might be out of the tight-end transfer portal market after picking up former Ole Miss TE Casey Kelly a week or so ago, but that’s apparently not the case.

     

    On Friday night, former Colorado Buffaloes tight end Seydou Traore announced on Twitter that he received an offer from the Ducks, one of the many that he’s gotten since entering the transfer portal.

    TE Seydou Traore transferred to Colorado last December. He’s now leaving Deion Sanders’ program, and the Ducks are interested.

    Softball -

    Softball’s win streak ended at 13 with the loss of the series opener to the Utah Utes by the score of 1-3. Morgan Scott pitched another complete game and the Ducks held Utah scoreless through the first four innings. Ariel Carlson scored Oregon’s only run in the second inning with this solo home run:

    The No. 13 Ducks made several incredible plays defensively, including from shortstop Paige Sinicki and outfielders Kai Luschar and Hanna Delgado, but managed just four hits in a 3-1 loss to No. 20 Utah Friday night at Jane Sanders Stadium.

    Report: Ducks show interest in Ole Miss DL transfer Tywone Malone

     

    We’ve said it once, we’ve said it a million times: Even if the Oregon Ducks don’t have a major need at a certain position, that won’t always stop Dan Lanning and the coaching staff from pursuing an available player in the transfer portal if it can make them better.

     

    Lanning has said as much several times since coming to Eugene, and we’ve seen it play out that way via multiple offers made to transfer portal players over the past couple of months.

    Best in Class: A look at college basketball's 25 best incoming recruiting hauls

    The final top 150 player rankings for the class of 2023 was released on Thursday with Duncanville (Texas) High forward Ron Holland taking over the top spot. While there was change in the individual rankings, John Calipari and Kentucky continue to hang on to the top spot in the industry-generated 247Sports Composite Team Rankings.

     

    Who else has the top classes in the land? Today we take a look at the top 25 recruiting classes for 2023.

     

    9. Oregon

    11591387.jpg?fit=bounds&crop=620:320,off

     

     

    The class: PF Kwame Evans Jr., PG Jackson Shelstad and SF Mookie Cook.

     

    What to expect: At Oregon, Dana Altman and the Ducks are welcoming a recruiting class that includes a pair of McDonald’s All-Americans in Evans and Cook and point guard coming off of a great senior year in Shelstad. Evans has all kinds of length, size and fluidity for a four man, unlocking his inner beast could turn him into a massive steal. Shelstad moved himself into the national top 25 by bulking up, turning into a mid-range assassin and becoming a real Alpha leader. A native of the Portland area like Shelstad, Cook is a versatile wing who could be a big time defender and open floor playmaker if he will get to campus and lock in.

     

    In Georgia transfer Kario Oquendo the Ducks are getting an athletic driver and they are adding even more wing athleticism with the addition of Arizona State transfer Devan Cambridge.

    5-Star LB Justin Williams Focused on Three Schools

     

    Oregon's top linebacker target gives the latest in his recruitment.

     

    Dan Lanning and Tosh Lupoi are focused on building an SEC caliber defense in Eugene.

     

    One player that is a major piece of the puzzle is 2024 Conroe (Tex.) Oak Ridge linebacker Justin Williams. The spring game saw him take his fifth visit with the Ducks and once again he came away impressed

    Now that it’s May, the stakes are about to get greater and each game more meaningful for the Ducks.

     

    No. 13 Oregon was victorious in 15 of its 16 contests last month and will take a 13-game winning streak into its final series of the regular season when it hosts No. 24 Utah for three games Friday-Sunday at Jane Sanders Stadium.

     

    Friday’s game is at 6 p.m., Saturday is scheduled to start at 4 p.m. and the finale will be Sunday at 2 p.m.

    How the potential addition of Gary Bryant Jr. could impact the Ducks; offense

     

    Since the transfer portal opened a few weeks ago, many college football players around the country have packed their bags and begun setting up shop with their new teams. The Oregon Ducks have had some notable signings in the portal this offseason, such as Jordan Burch and Ajani Cornelius, and they added TE Casey Kelly from this most recent portal window as well.

     

    Even though most of the high-quality transfer targets have already signed with new schools, there are still a few gems that have yet to be picked up.

     

    One of those is Gary Bryant Jr, a former 4-star WR that was at USC for three seasons before deciding to it was time to move on. Although he hasn’t announced where he’ll play his 2023 football, 247Sports’ “crystal ball” predicts Bryant to sign with the Ducks later this May.
