    5-star OT Michael Fasusi puts Oregon among top schools

     

    The Oregon Ducks are looking to continue their strong recruiting in the 2025 cycle, and it appears that one of the top available players is taking a hard look at what Dan Lanning has cooking in Eugene.

     

    On Monday, 5-star offensive tackle Michael Fasusi announced his top seven schools, with the Ducks making the cut. Fasusi is also considering Georgia, Oklahoma, Texas A&M, USC, Texas, and Missouri.

     

    Fasusi stands at 6-foot-4, 285 pounds, and is rated by the 247Sports Composite as the No. 11 overall player in the 2025 class, and the No. 2 OT. Fasusi is scheduled to visit Oregon later this month on April 17th.

    Report: No. 2 uncommitted QB set to visit Oregon before announcement

     

    In a report from On3.com, the nation’s No. 2 uncommitted quarterback, Husan Longstreet, will visit Oregon before making his official announcement on April 14.

     

    But Oregon is just one of three schools Longstreet will visit as he will be going to Ole Miss and Auburn as well.

    10 Ducks who have the most to prove during Oregon's spring football season

     

    At the moment, I have the Ducks listed at 90 scholarships at the end of March, meaning that there will be some roster attrition over the coming months before the regular season. Where will that attrition come from? It’s difficult to say right now, but we know that over the coming weeks, some tough decisions will be made about certain players. 

     

    So whether it’s someone fighting for a starting spot, or working to secure a scholarship, these are the players who we feel have the most to prove this spring in Eugene.

    Roster attrition is coming for the Oregon Ducks. Here’s who has the most to prove during the spring season in 2024.

    Dates set for Oregon Ducks spring practice schedule

    Spring football is right around the corner for the Oregon Ducks.

     

    We have known the date of the annual spring game for several weeks now, and based on what Dan Lanning said on national signing day back in February, we knew that the Ducks would hold a couple of practices before spring break started at the end of March.

     

    Now we officially know the days that Oregon will be taking the field in Eugene.

     

    Here is a look at the practice dates for the Ducks this spring:

     

    Practice Number Day of Week Date
    Practice #1 Thursday March 16
    Practice #2 Saturday March 18
    Spring Break    
    Practice #5 Tuesday April 4
    Practice #6 Thursday April 6
    Practice #7 Saturday April 8
    Practice #8 Tuesday April 11
    Practice #9 Thursday April 13
    Practice #10 Saturday April 15
    Practice #11 Tuesday April 18
    Practice #12 Thursday April 20
    Practice #13 Saturday April 22
    Practice #14 Tuesday April 25
    Oregon Spring Game Saturday April 29
    Practice #15 Unknown Unknown

     

    It is not yet clear whether or not the 15th practice of the season for the Ducks will take place on the Thursday before the spring game, or during the week after the game.

    Oregon RB Coach Carlos Locklyn is leaving for Ohio State. Now what?

     

    A rumor began flying around on the internet that Oregon RB coach Carlos Locklyn is planning to leave Dan Lanning's staff for Ohio State. It now appears that Dan Lanning has to hire a new running backs coach.

     

    On today's episode of Locked On Ducks, Spencer McLaughlin discusses the internet rumors about Locklyn leaving. As Spring football gets set to resume, what are some of the thinnest position groups on Oregon's roster?

     

    Oregon Men's Basketball had Vyctorius Miller decommit from their 2024 class, leaving them with just one incoming high school recruit this cycle. The move ensures that Dana Altman and his staff HAVE TO have success in the transfer portal.

     

     

     

  7. This is a blow, especially going into the thick of Spring camp.  Right before Transfer portal coming up.  😢

     

    Trusting Dan Lanning to bring in the next up and coming new coach with recruiting chops.  He's been excellent at this!

     

    Report: Oregon RB coach Carlos Locklyn expected to take position at Ohio State

    Oregon running back coach Carlos Locklyn is expected to take the same position with Ohio State based on a report from 247 Sports' Matt Zenitz.

     

    The college football coaching carousel continues into the spring, as Oregon running back coach Carlos Locklyn is expected to take the same role at Ohio State, according to a report from 247 Sports' Matt Zenitz. 

     

    The news was reported late on Sunday night. 

     

    Ohio State expects to finalize a deal as soon as tomorrow to hire Oregon’s Carlos Locklyn as its new running backs coach, sources tell @247Sports.

    After working at places like Florida State, Memphis and Western Kentucky, Locklyn has now developed players like current early-round… pic.twitter.com/4F5H2gJsBH

    — Matt Zenitz (@mzenitz) April 1, 2024

     

    Locklyn, fresh off inking a two-year extension with the Ducks, had been Oregon's running back coach for the prior two seasons, overseeing one of the Pac-12's best rushing offenses behind future NFL Draft pick Bucky Irving and talented reserve running backs Noah Whittington and Jordan James. Locklyn was also the main recruiter for redshirt freshman Jayden Limar and incoming freshman Da'Juan Riggs.

    The Oregon Ducks continue to fill up their spring and summer recruiting schedule for the next several months, lining up visits with highly-rated players across the country.

     

    One of those highly-rated players is 2026 athlete Madden Williams, from St. John Bosco in California. Williams is rated as a 4-star ATH per On3, ranked as the No. 18 ATH and No. 234 overall player in the class.

    Ranking the most iconic Big Ten football stadiums from worst to first

     

    The Oregon Ducks football team will be playing in a new conference in 2024 and with that, they’ll have to prepare to play in some stadiums they have never set foot in before. Yes, it’s called The Big Ten, but there will be 18 stadiums in the conference when the four former Pac-12 school join.

     

    While the Big Ten will rival the SEC as the most dominant conference in the nation, there should be little argument that they are home to the most iconic and historic college football stadiums in all of the land. 

     

    We decided to rank the 18 facilities based on several factors, not just size. We have factored in history, who played there, traditions and other aspects. Of course Autzen Stadium is No. 1 in our hearts, but we tried to be as objective as possible here and not put the Home of the Ducks at the top of the list and Husky Stadium at the bottom. Washington’s home favors quite well in comparison to other Big Ten stadiums, but there’s no way it’s above where it never rains.

     

    Here’s our list 1-18 of the stadiums of the Big Ten.

    The Big Ten is home to some of the most historic college football stadiums in the nation. Which is the most iconic?

    A federal Title IX lawsuit against the University of Oregon, which implicates the school's relationship with NIL collective Division Street, does not appear to have slowed down the partnership.  At least not in the gym.

     

    While Division Street itself is not subject to the provisions of Title IX, the athlete plaintiffs assert that the university effectively runs the collective and should therefore be responsible for its alleged acts of gender discrimination.

     

    So, does the shoe fit?

    The university and its affiliated NIL collective have partnered on a new UO-branded Nike sneaker. Does the shoe drop complicate their legal defense?

    Oregon Football's roster under Dan Lanning has ONE glaring need for 2025 

     

    Dan Lanning and his staff have pulled in a top 10 recruiting class each of their first full cycles in Eugene. As they've loaded up talent and look ahead to the 2025 class, what positions are going to be the highest priority? On today's episode of Locked On Ducks, Spencer McLaughlin is joined by Max Torres of 'Ducks Digest'.

     

    In the wake of 4-star WR Adrian Wilson decommitting, there's another name(s) to keep an eye on in the 2025 class who has ties to a current Duck. 12:10

     

    Oregon will soon resume Spring football with plenty of answers, but also a few questions. Max and Spencer talk about those questions and how the 2-deep might look for the Ducks by the time Spring ends. 20:55

    During the football season, podcasts were included with the game for that week. Podcasts still are taking place, just not as often. 

     

    I also have noticed that the podcasts now are covering more than just football. For instance, the one following includes some talk about basketball. 

     

    Those podcasts will now be posted under this thread as they occur. Also, check older podcasts Right Here as we will keep the thread to no more than 50 podcasts at a time.

    Oregon's 2024 national championship odds improve as spring football season rolls on

     

    The landscape of college football looks far different in 2024 than it did even a few years ago, and while things like name, image, and likeness, the transfer portal, and conference realignment have altered the foundation of the sport, the goal for each and every team in the nation remains the same - win a national championship.
