Oregon Lands Commitment From 4-Star WR Messiah Hampton Oregon’s recruiting dry spell ended in a big way on Friday, as the Ducks picked up a commitment from 2026 4-Star Rochester (NY) James Monroe wide receiver Messiah Hampton. Hampton chose the Ducks from a top group that also included Miami, Syracuse, Penn State, Georgia, Ohio State and Michigan. Hampton is the No. 48 player in the On300 rankings, the No. 7 wide receiver and the No. 1 prospect in New York. New wide receivers coach Ross Douglas leaned on his prior relationship with Hampton to land his first commitment since joining Lanning’s staff and the first wide receiver in Oregon’s 2026 recruiting class. With Hampton now in the fold, Oregon’s 2026 recruiting class has climbed back into the top-10 classes nationally, coming in at No. 8 according to On3. The Ducks have eight verbal commitments, headlined by 5-star Reidsville (NC) tight end Kendre Harrison, who has shut down his recruitment and is all-in on the Ducks. On the latest episode of the Ducks Dish Podcast, ScoopDuckOn3’s Max Torres and Justin Hopkins break down Hampton’s commitment and what it means for Oregon Football. They also take a look at what’s next for Douglas at wide receiver in the 2026 class, with more of Oregon’s top targets scheduled to take their official visit with the Ducks before making a summer commitment. 2026 4-star Opa Loka (Fla.) wide receiver Calvin Russell has Oregon in his top group heading into his college commitment date of July 5. 2026 4-Star Lucas (Tex.) Panther Creek Athlete Jalen Lott also has high interest in Oregon ahead of his official visit in Eugene next weekend.

Oregon football extends new offer to 2026 Boise State QB commit The Oregon Ducks extended an intriguing scholarship offer on Wednesday, reaching out to 3-star quarterback Bryson Beaver, from Murrieta, California. He stands at 6-foot-3, 200 pounds. This offer is worth noting because of where the Ducks currently stand in the quarterback recruiting landscape. Earlier this spring, they lost the Jared Curtis sweepstakes, with the 5-star passer committing to the Georgia Bulldogs. They are currently projected to land 5-star QB Ryder Lyons, but there has been some buzz recently that the BYU Cougars are willing to pay him inordinate sums of money to get him to commit. If that is the case, then the Ducks' offering another QB in the class makes a bit of sense. Regardless, they still could feel good about where they stand with Lyons but are just covering their bases with another talented and rising QB prospect.

NCAA Hints at ‘Positive Momentum' Towards Men's Basketball Moving to Quarters from Halves?
Buried deep inside a Tuesday press release announcing major changes to “help enhance the flow of the game” in men’s college basketball was a hint at an even more significant change to the game. Last month, the NCAA Men’s Basketball Rules Committee proposed the creation of a joint working group to gather feedback for potentially moving from halves to quarters. Since then, the NCAA revealed there’s been “positive momentum” toward the move to quarters, and the NCAA Playing Rules Oversight Panel further recommended Division I conferences actually develop a working group to provide further feedback on the option. Men’s college basketball is the only division of the sport that utilizes halves as opposed to quarters. Women’s college basketball has utilized quarters since the 2015-16 season.

Oregon's Quarterback Recruiting: Panic or Patience?
It seems that Lyons has cancelled his trip to USC. Oregon and BYU is in the mix. Hopefully will go Oregon’s way. You are right, he will be more for the 2027 cycle once he returns from his LDS mission trip. From what all is reporting USC seems to be out of the picture. Lyons cancelled his trip to USC. My concern is BYU. "While USC had the inside track to Lyons signature early in his recruitment, the Trojans have since fizzled out. Lyons canceled his official visit to USC that was set to take place last weekend. Four-star quarterback Jonas Williams committed to USC back in February, it’s possible Williams’ commitment played a role in Lyons's cancellation."

Joel Klatt names surprise team as Penn State's most important game this season “If Penn State loses that game [at home versus Oregon], all anyone is going to be talking about is that James Franklin can’t win these games, because that’s the slow-boiling narrative going into the season,” Klatt said. “… He’s got to win that game. “If you don’t beat Oregon, at home, in the White Out, you’re like ‘Oh no, is this going to work?’ Again, it’s time. You don’t want to put that on your shoulders in November in the ‘Shoe at Ohio State.” Klatt also talked about how the talent disparity is razor thin between these teams, and highlighted the strong, veteran group of Nittany Lions returners that should give Franklin a good chance of earning a marquee victory over the Ducks.

College football's top RB rooms: Penn State, Notre Dame battle for top spot behind loaded backfields Several national title contenders boast impressive stables of running backs heading into 2025 3. Oregon A couple of weeks ago, on the Cover 3 Podcast, we were trying to figure out who the Group of Five Star would be now that Ashton Jeanty was gone. The first name that came to my mind was Tulane running back Makhi Hughes, only to remember Hughes had transferred to Oregon. Such is life as a G5 program these days, but their loss is Oregon's gain! Hughes rushed for 1,401 yards and 15 touchdowns last year and looked impossible to tackle at times. He'll now be the head Duck at the RB spot, but he'll be spelled by Noah Whittington (540 and 6) and Da'Jaun Riggs.
