I am not sure if this article was mentioned, but what is worth noting in this article is a paragraph talking about Cedric Baxter Jr. emerging as a top target for Alabama at running back. Maybe we have a great shot at landing Young to Oregon. Love the picture of Moore handing the ball off to Young. Moore/Young combo at Oregon?

The first part of Canzano's article is on Pat Casey. Skip farther down to the section talking about the Big 12 taking a page out of the PAC12's playbook by hiring an outsider to the world of college athletics.
According to Canzano, it appears college athletics, at least a couple of cases, is turning towards executives with experience in sponsorship, licensing, entertainment and brand strategy.

This is promising news! That Dante Moore is in Eugene. Imagine if Moore, Young and Uiagelelei commits to Oregon along with others? What a tremendous class 2023 will be!
Thanks Log Haulin.

At this time, as DUCati855 mentioned, the city of San Diego does have a pro football team.
My mistake on last sentence from my last message. San Diego does not have a pro football team.

As David Marsh mentioned about these schools:
San Diego is the No. 27 media market in the country and would be No. 6 in the conference behind Los Angeles, San Francisco, Seattle, Denver, and Portland.
National University Ranking : 148
Enrollment: 31,491
Athlon Sports stated about San Diego State:
"Whether they would be competitive in the league right away would be a question. In men’s basketball, yes. They would need to play catch-up in the other sports, however.
Also, a new stadium and more recruiting territory in California are always positives to sell. However, adding another team in the Golden State probably wouldn’t move the needle in terms of value to television partners."
But, if PAC12 expands and only staying within close proximity, can't help thinking San Diego State might not be a bad move to bring in along with the Nevada schools and one other (not sure which other). At this time, as DUCati855 mentioned, the city of San Diego does have a pro football team.

Then Nevada University also isn't really a great option for expansion due to the same media market issues as other mentioned schools but they are probably the most natural extension as the pac-12 is hosting more and more conference championships in Las Vegas.
Just some thoughts to ponder. What about UNLV instead of Nevada or possibly both? if PAC12 decides to take up interest again to expand as possible candidates. Interesting information below:
Nevada:
US News & World Report University Ranking: 227
Enrollment: 21,000
Media Market: 104Pac-12 Expansion Fit: This is a tough one.
So this can be seen in two ways. Either the Pac-12 would take UNLV and assume it has the state of Nevada – even if Reno is a whole separate area and base – or it jumps on the Rebel-Wolf Pack, Fremont Cannon rivalry and makes it more of a thing.
The big issue would be that Nevada just isn’t quite big enough. The media market is okay-not-great, and there’s no national fan base to up the overall profile.
UNLV:
US News & World Report University Ranking: 258
Enrollment: 31,175
Media Market: 40Pac-12 Expansion Fit: This would be strictly a home base play.
It’s almost a lock that the Pac-12 will someday be mostly operating out of Las Vegas – especially if the big sport conference championships will be there.
UNLV doesn’t quite fit when it comes to the school or the national academic profile, but the TV market is great and the fan bases of the other Pac-12 institutions would make the road game a huge event. Call this a trophy get as the league expands a bit geographically.
What is interesting, according to the report below UNLV has reached tier 1 research status.

I think we have guys that will give most PAC 12 teams problems. It will be interesting to see who we land on as our feature back this year.
The nice thing is that we have good depth and looks like we can easily have three backs rotating into a game if necessary.
I agree. I am happy how our running back room is looking and possibly what the future will continue to be! Fresh legs with a constant rotation through out a game would be a game changer.
Fresh legs also means possibly less chances of injuries. So many different ways using more than one running back on the field at the same time.
Go Ducks, Fly High!

I am not sure how much of the alliance with the Big Ten and ACC did for us. I feel like it hurt us more than helped. For instance, I think it kind of kept him from really pushing the school presidents and CEOs to bring the remaining Big 12 schools to join the PAC12. A great missed opportunity on that one. It would have given us clout for inking out a great media rights deal.
Other than that I think he is really trying to find ways to get this conference back on track. I especially like the idea of him being on board to dump the NCAA. Amazing how much money they've raked in from the colleges.

This kid must really have something for them to pursue him this young.

Oregon fifth? He can't be serious? With the talent Oregon has in the TE/WR groups. This will be proven wrong this year.

Welcome SoGaDawg! We welcome your insight on Georgia's perspective about the game and team. I must say I always have green color glasses on, but am high on our new coaching staff and firmly believe Oregon will be become a much better team because of it.

Hmm, let me put on my green color glasses to make this prediction. As I predicted last year against OSU, Oregon will beat Georgia. The fans from Georgia will be screaming in fear

From the article: "I remember seeing him in person at the Texas 7-on-7 state championships in the summer before his senior year and in that setting he was unstoppable. There's not really much you can do in shirts and t-shirts against a 6-foot-5 guy who is a good athlete. He was winning balls over smaller guys. He was running by some of them."
Brooks also noted Chapman's dual-sport athleticism. He was also a track athlete at Clear Brook high school."
You've got to love his size as a WR. He stays healthy, could be quite a potential threat against opposing defenses.

You stated you are grateful, and I agree. Seems like there are stages we all go through in recovery from what we went through with the No O coach we had.
Anytime you go through such an emotional experience there are a set of emotional markers you encounter as you accept the future. The first one was confusion, then we had anger, followed by trying to make sense of it all. The last stages we are just beginning to feel.
The healthy sense of gratefulness is definitely one most if not all of us are experiencing. The final stage is the one I am anticipating with great impatience. The excitement of seeing our vision, and really our programs defining element come back.
An exciting, dynamic offense will be one of the greatest moments of this fall. We are all grateful, we are all now looking forward to the thrill, once again, of the O in Oregon coming back! That is emotional state I look forward to again being in Saturday after Saturday for the foreseeable future!
I agree! With Lanning's defensive genius, both sides of the ball will be exciting to watch.

Plus I think Washington is in somewhat of a panic, they are losing out on their brightest stars in their own home state as well as the transfer portal. They have been able to attract only one 4* athlete. That is the state they are in right now. I could be wrong on this assumption, but it seems it is what it is for them and they are accepting what they can accomplish.
