Jon Joseph Moderator No. 1 Share Posted June 6, 2023 It's nice to see CBS Sports reporting something positive in regard to the Pac-12. Pac-12 football transfers: Colorado's dynamic duo, DJ Uiagalelei among newcomers set to make instant impact - CBSSports.com WWW.CBSSPORTS.COM Colorado loaded up in the transfer portal, as did Arizona State, but other Pac-12 teams made targeted moves Like the love for DE Burch. ESPN has also weighed in with impact transfers and recruits ranked by team. 6. Oregon - Ranked overall 8 by ESPN in 2023 recruiting (includes transfers.) Expected to contribute immediately - DE Jordan Burch (USCe)/ OL -Junior Angilau (Texas) Will he be healthy enough to make an impact?/ LB - Jestin Jacobs (Iowa)/ DE - M. Uiagalelei. Also mentioned - WR - Trashon Holden (Alabama)/ OL - Ajani Cornelius (Rhode Island)/ DBs - Cole Martin and Roderick Pleasant/ WR - Ashton Cozart Tez Johnson is among other new Oregon players, a glaring miss. Other ranked Pac-12 teams - 5. Colorado/ 9. UCLA/ 20. ASU/ 24. Washington 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Augduck No. 2 Share Posted June 6, 2023 This certainly is interesting. Have heard from a good source that there are some whispers in Corvallis that DJU MAY NOT get the starting job. There seems to be some vibes that Chiles who is a dual threat guy COULD beat him out for the #1 spot. Again some conjecture here but might be something to keep an eye on. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tandaian No. 3 Share Posted June 6, 2023 I'm hearing the Chiles hype train as well. I'm also hearing that it really is a 3 way battle. Gulbranson did go 7-1 as a starter last season. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charles Fischer Administrator No. 4 Share Posted June 6, 2023 My question has been...."DJ can't make it with Clemson talent, but he's going to do it at Oregon State?" Mr. FishDuck Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Augduck No. 5 Share Posted June 6, 2023 (edited) My thoughts as well Mr. Fischer but I did not want to come off as a negative Nancy so I tempered the discussion a bit. And yes, Gulbranson may well be in the mix too. He is not the most fleet of foot but they have a decent running back in Martinez so don't need him to be. I am not sure about the receiving corp, seems they might have lost a few to graduation and of course Musgrave went to the NFL but as much as it pains me to say it, Smith gets the most out of his guys. The question will be their D. Omar Speights who was all P12 last year transferred to LSU and again the whispers in Corvallis are that was a 'major loss'.

His recruiting rankings are so-so, and he did not bring much in through the portal this year, so... It is truly a miracle coaching achievement in Corvallis. 1 Mr. FishDuck Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
