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. NCAA hints at 'positive momentum' towards men's basketball moving to quarters from halves - On3 WWW.ON3.COM The NCAA revealed there's been "positive momentum" toward moving men's college basketball from halves to quarters like the women's game.

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."

Where the Oregon Ducks rank in ESPN’s Future Power Rankings for college football In the college football world, being set up for the future is almost as important to fans as being ready to win right now. With a large emphasis on recruiting and the classes that are set up to come down the pipeline, fans who may not root for a team that is projected to be in the championship mix in a given year often opine about "down the road." For the Oregon Ducks, you can have both things.

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. Joel Klatt names surprise team as Penn State's most important game this season WWW.SPORTINGNEWS.COM Why Fox Sports' Joel Klatt believes Oregon, not Ohio State, is the most crucial must-win game of the season for James Franklin and Penn State.

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.

Oregon's Quarterback Recruiting: Panic or Patience?
So this cycle has not really worked out as Oregon had hoped in quarterback recruiting. I mean it really started with the very late decision by 5-Star Jaron Keawe-Sagapolutele to sign and later end up at Cal. Can’t blame him for walking into the quarterback room at Oregon and feeling like it was a much easier path to start at Cal. Oregon moved on and made a massive push for 5-Star QB Jared Curtis who ultimately ended up at Georgia. In my mind with the way Oregon’s current quarterback room sets up, Curtis would have been an ideal and seamless transition for Dan Lanning Now that comes with variables as does the rest of this article. And keep in mind, Oregon is one of the best at giving themselves options and rolling with the punches. Because of the transfer portal you have to operate this way. And because of the transfer portal I’m also nearly zero concerned with Oregon signing a prep quarterback in this cycle. While it might be preferred, it wouldn’t be an issue if the Ducks miss on every option and hit the portal. The success rate in the portal has been really good at the position. But they continue on expanding options with a lot of uncertainty about how it could play out. Oregon's Quarterback Recruiting: Panic or Patience? - On3 WWW.ON3.COM Oregon is in on several top quarterbacks in this recruiting cycle but even if they miss out on all of them it could still work out.
