    6 things to know about Oregon’s new transfer Jabbar Muhammad

     

    In the wake of Kalen DeBoer’s departure to Alabama, Washington Huskies players have begun entering the transfer portal en masse. Star Huskies CB Jabbar Muhammad was one of those players, and he’s now committed to the Oregon Ducks.

    A new era is coming for the Oregon Ducks — and the whole world of college football, really — in 2024, thanks to conference realignment and the expanded 12-team College Football Playoff.

     

    With the death of the Pac-12 and the move to the Big Ten, Dan Lanning is now shepherding the Ducks into the new dawn, and based on the roster construction we’ve seen so far this offseason, he’s got the team well prepared.

     

    “I think the challenge in front of us is a lot of fun,” Lanning said. “I don’t think anyone gets into this profession and says ‘Give me the easy road.’ So being in a conference that has that competitive nature; that has really good football; that plays a physical brand of football, that’s something that I’m excited about.”

    Two of the best shooters in basketball are set to face each other in a unique competition at NBA All-Star weekend in Indianapolis.

     
    Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry and WNBA star Sabrina Ionescu — a legend at the University of Oregon who now plays for the New York Liberty — will compete in a three-point shootout as part of the weekend of All-Star festivities Feb. 16-18. The rules of the competition aren’t set yet, but both players bring major pedigree from behind their respective arcs.

    Recruiting Party: Ducks' visitor list highlighted by 5-star safety, 2025 QB commit

     

    The Oregon Ducks have been getting after it on the recruiting trail this past week, with their coaches flying all across the country and getting some face time with highly-rated prospects that they are after in the class of 2025.

     

    That will change this weekend, though, as some of those prospects take a trip to Eugene to check out the Oregon campus and visit the Ducks for their Junior Day this weekend.

     

    The list of visitors expected in Eugene is headlined by 5-star safety Faheem Delane, the No. 1 safety in the 2025 class. Here are the other players who Ducks Wire has confirmed will be in Eugene for the weekend:

    Ducks pick up prediction to land No. 4 TE in 2025 class

     

    The Oregon Ducks coaching staff has been out on the recruiting trail over the past couple of weeks making stops to see highly-rated prospects across the country. While that was happening, though, they got a prediction to land one of the top players at his position in the 2025 class.

     

    On Wednesday, On3’s Chad Simmons logged a projection for 4-star tight end DaSaahn Brame to end up with the Ducks. Brame is rated by 247Sports as the No. 95 player in the 2025 class, and the No. 4 tight end available.

     

    Standing at 6-foot-6, 235 pounds, Brame is a massive body at the TE position, and he would offer elite upside as a pass-catcher.

    Way-too-early record predictions for every Big Ten team in 2024

     

    Based on the continued fluidity of rosters in the world of college football thanks to the churn of the transfer portal and the coaching carousel, it is still far too early to get a perfect read on who will be contending for a national championship at the end of the first inaugural 12-team College Football Playoff in 2024. It’s not too early to speculate, though.

     

    Over the past couple of weeks, we’ve offered our top-25 rankings predictions for 2024, as well as forecasting which 12 teams will make it into the CFP, and what the first expanded rankings of the Big Ten will look like for the Oregon Ducks.

     

    We wanted to take a second to expand a little bit on that last one.

    In 2024, the Big Ten is expected to be a premier conference, with several national title contenders at the top like Ohio State, Oregon, Michigan, and Penn State. While we’ve predicted what the power rankings should look like in the conference going into the season, we wanted to now take it a step further and flesh out the final records for each and every team.

     

    What are the toughest games, and which ones should be the easiest wins? Who will ultimately be bowl-eligible when all is said and done?

     

    Those are questions that we want to answer. Here is our record prediction for every team in the conference for the 2024 season, ordered by our preseason power rankings:
