Charles Fischer Administrator No. 1 Share Posted December 17 This is a big advantage for a team like Oregon, both for portal additions and late period signings! I'm sure the NCAA will act to take it away ASAP! 1 1 Mr. FishDuck Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jon Joseph Moderator No. 4 Share Posted December 17 Charles, great take on the quarter system. How many Trojans players will be making the trip to Vegas to play A+M? "Cancel the bus, we'll use Carol Folt's SUV." For something to Stay In Vegas, doesn't it first have to arrive in Vegas? 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steven A Moderator No. 7 Share Posted December 18 Me, no thanks to Branch. I like the room we have and the young talent. I do not want to scare away recruits if we get too much of a reputation for portal poaching. However, I will always trust Dan and the gang. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Ducky No. 8 Share Posted December 18 Agree with Steven, we should be just fine at wideouts. No sense doing something unnecessary. I may be wrong but I don’t see usuc as a threat in the immediate future. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charles Fischer Author Administrator No. 9 Share Posted December 18 Everyone keep in mind that more players will be entering the portal as their teams lose in the Playoffs, Bowl Games, etc. We also do not yet know if Jordan James or Josh Conerly Jr. are returning, and that impacts portal recruiting in a big way for those positions. 1 1 4 Mr. FishDuck Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, as Rod Stewart once sang, "It's LATE SEPTEMBER and I really should be back at school..." Not mid frickin August. Puke! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Branch has had problems with drops and he's a package deal with his brother. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Marsh No. 12 Share Posted December 18 Is the quarter system that rare? Personally, I loved the quarter system while at UO and just in general. The quarter system always meant that every quarter was a bit of sprint and with only 10 weeks it was difficult to get too complacent with classes and fall behind. Semesters just drag on forever. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, casually one could think he is a drop in replacement for Tez, but that's not close to reality. He has the natural feel for running with the ball, but not necessarily running routes and catching balls. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AllOregon No. 14 Share Posted December 19 Best quote I read today, “Following a 6-6 season, USC has had 18 players enter the transfer portal since it opened on Dec. 9.” 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lanning may snatch him up, but if he doesn’t I don’t think Oregon fans will be disappointed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
