    4-star WR Cooper Perry to announce commitment this week; Ducks heavy favorite

     

    There seems to be a really good chance that the Oregon Ducks pick up a notable commitment this week in the class of 2025.

     

    On Monday, 4-star wide receiver Cooper Perry announced on social media that he will officially make his commitment later this week on Wednesday afternoon. The announcement will take place at 2 p.m. PT on Wednesday afternoon.

     

    Perry is rated by 247Sports as the No. 1 player from the state of Arizona, and the No. 27 WR in the 2025 class.  The 247Sports Composite has him ranked as the No. 251 overall player in the nation as well.

     

    Currently, there are four predictions in the 247Sports Crystal Ball for Perry to choose the Ducks, and Oregon is the heavy favorite in the On3 Recruiting Prediction Machine, as well, with a 95.1% chance to land him.

     

    The Ducks currently have a commitment from 5-star WR Dallas Wilson in the class of 2025 as well.

    The Ducks are ranked No. 18 in the D1Baseball.com Top 25 and No. 17 in Baseball America's rankings with a 22-8 record and a series victory over every Pac-12 team they've faced so far with an 8-4 conference record.

    Oregon's receiver room has established some excellent depth and talent over the past few years.

     
    The receiving room is impressive, to put it simply. It has accumulated some game-changing talent while covering its bases across the board. 
     
    So when it comes to how a player looking up on the depth chart can separate themselves, Adams makes it clear that the process starts now.

    "His stated goal is to become a Head Coach within the next 5ish years. Does an Oregon RB coach title get him closer to that? I’d understand if he left for an OC role but this move doesn’t appear to align with the career trajectory of a head coach."

     

    I believe he's being hired at Oregon as a RB/Assist. Head Coach.  It seems a step up for him.

    Duck fans react to Oregon hiring ASU's Ra'Shaad Samples as new RB coach

     

    While there were rumors starting over the weekend, the official news broke on Sunday afternoon that Dan Lanning and the Oregon Ducks had made their deal to fill the RB coaching vacancy. 

     

    According to 247Sports’ Matt Zenitz, the Ducks are hiring former Arizona State WR coach Ra’Shaad Samples as their new RB coach. Samples was previously the youngest RB coach in NFL history, spending a year with the Los Angeles Rams before joining Kenny Dillingham’s staff with the Sun Devils. 

     

    Samples is a former player who is regarded as one of the best recruiters in the nation at the young age of 29. 

     

    As you would expect, Oregon fans were excited with the move when it was reported on Sunday afternoon. Here are some of the top reactions on social media.

    It feels safe to say that Oregon fans approve of the Ra’Shaad Samples hire.

    It didn’t take long for Dan Lanning and the Oregon Ducks to find a new running backs coach after Carlos Locklyn left to join the Ohio State Buckeyes at the start of April.

     

    Sources tell me that the Ducks will officially be hiring Ra’Shaad Samples, the former running backs coach for the Arizona State Sun Devils. The first report came from 247Sports’ Matt Zenitz.
