College Football Recruiting: Miami, Oregon Receive Crystal Ball Predictions after Nike's 'The Next Ones' Event
OREGON DUCKS LB Nasir Wyatt — “I was close to [entering a Crystal Ball pick] before the trip even started, but I really like Nasir Wyatt to Oregon. I think they’re doing a great job, so I’m going to join Greg Biggins, Steve Wiltfong and Brandon Huffman with that one. I like the Ducks to get it done. He even said that they’re doing the best job with him. He wants to take visits. Ohio State, Tennessee, Michigan, a couple others are also in play, but I really like Oregon to get that one done.” S Jadyn Hudson — “I think the Ducks are going to get that one done and get that commitment. Ohio State, Tennessee are the other top contenders. But again, for him especially, the stability of the coaching staff, then also distance and just his overall connection with that coaching staff, I really think that’s why Oregon is the team to beat. I’m also not ruling out USC. If they really start to push and do a better job with him, there is a possibility the Trojans could get back in play.” WR Derek Meadows — “He mentioned Oregon, Notre Dame, Bama, Florida. I like Notre Dame right now, but Oregon is absolutely a team to watch. They just offered.” WR Cooper Perry — “I like Oregon. That’s where my Crystal Ball is at. Watch out for Oklahoma. He just visited there.” S Faheem Delane — “Oregon, once again, first team he mentioned. But I do think Ohio State is the team to watch right now, but the Ducks are definitely in play.” WR Isaiah Mozee — “Also mentioned Oregon. You can see a theme here. Nebraska, Tennessee and Missouri also in play, but Oregon, in my opinion, is the team to beat. Very tempted to put a Crystal Ball pick on the Ducks.” IOL Seuseu Alofaituli — “Oregon, Miami, a couple others in play.” CB DJ Pickett — “Oregon’s a real, real threat that isn’t getting talked about enough. I’m watching them and Miami closely.” S Trey McNutt — “I think Ohio State’s probably the team to watch, but don’t be surprised if the Ducks land him.” College football recruiting: Miami, Oregon receive Crystal Ball predictions after Nike's 'The Next Ones' event 247SPORTS.COM The Hurricanes and Ducks are not the only teams making progress.

An Oregon Ducks Fan Guide to the Big Ten Conference
All about the Ohio State Buckeyes: Few schools in the country boast a richer football tradition than Ohio State, a powerhouse by every metric in the sport and a constant national contender.

Especially now that former Oregon coach Chip Kelly will be Ohio State’s offensive coordinator.

College Football Coach Rankings: Kirby Smart, Ryan Day Highlight Top Coaches Five Years from Now
Quite frankly if I was Ohio St. I would keep Day. His win/loss record is very good, especially what he's accomplished through recruiting/transfer and obtaining Chip Kelly as the OC. Seems to me he's correcting issues going into the 2024 season. I am not convinced Chip is washed up (I guess will find out this coming season). He has a perfect ideal situation at Ohio St. Day lost to an experience Michigan team who went undefeated, won the national championship with 18 players invited to the combine.

Is College Football's Great Coaching Exodus Finally Here?
When an industry evolves, it typically does so slowly. Along the way, there are signs that something is on the horizon—morsels of moments that ultimately add up over time. These moments can be small when individualized. But in totality, they can change everything. In business, these moments start small and grow big. Eventually they become a trend, and eventually that trend becomes the norm. Suddenly, the business that is college football finds itself in a series of trends, although no trend is more curious than the sudden abundance of coaches leaving for other opportunities. Given the impact of the transfer portal and the way NIL has brought free agency to the sport in a matter of years, that statement might sound strange. But it's the coaches operating in this universe that know it best, and many of these coaches are choosing to leave when given an opportunity to do so. Currently, the sport is operating without guidance. Rules are iffy (at best). Rosters are being built with checkbooks and booster backing, first and foremost. The landscape is unknown, and the work required to build winners is greater than it has ever been. The new requirements demanded of coaches at the college level are both extreme and still relatively unknown. Those who have found work at other levels are telling us, without actually saying it out loud, that the current climate is reaching an unsustainable place.

An Oregon Ducks Fan Guide to the Big Ten Conference
All about the Northwestern Wildcats Comedians, actors and journalists of renown have all made their way through the Northwestern University campus, located just north of the bustling metropolis of Chicago. The only private university in the Big Ten before USC joins up later this year, NU is one of the conference’s founding members. While the Wildcats are still picking up the pieces in a football program plagued by scandal, and outside of lacrosse don’t boast many team national titles, the school’s investment in sports is arriving at a new peak. And you’re bound to hear about many of the developments, given the number of sports writers and broadcasters who hail from the school. 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.

Ducks Land Two Projections to Secure Commitments from Blue-Chip Players in 2025 Class
The Oregon Ducks have been off to a hot start on the 2025 recruiting trail, sitting with one of the top classes in the nation and coming off of a couple-weekend stretch where they hosted some of the most coveted players in the nation. One of the players that visited — 4-star EDGE Nasir Wyatt — is really starting to trend Oregon’s way. The blue-chip defender from Mater Dei down in California has been projected to land with the Ducks, with a few 247Sports Crystal Ball predictions coming in earlier this month from Steve Wiltfong, Brandon Huffman, and Greg Biggins. On Wednesday, 247Sports analyst Tom Loy also put in a prediction for Wyatt, the No. 2 EDGE and No. 27 player in the 2025 class, to choose Oregon. Loy also placed another Crystal Ball prediction on Wednesday, saying that 4-star safety Jadyn Hudson is likely to commit to the Oregon Ducks as well. Hudson is rated as the No. 8 safety and No. 96 overall player in the class. At the moment, Oregon has the No. 11 class in the 2025 cycle, but if they could add both of these players, Dan Lanning would be well on his way to securing another top-5 ranked class this year. Oregon Recruiting: Ducks pick up pair of big-time predictions DUCKSWIRE.USATODAY.COM The Oregon Ducks picked up a pair of blue-chip crystal ball predictions from Nasir Wyatt and Jadyn Hudson this week.
