Charles Fischer Administrator No. 1 Share Posted Thursday at 08:56 PM As you recall, Rivals is the toughest of the rating services, and has the most consistent historical data and thus why I refer to them. Oregon lost a signed WR recruit to Florida recently, Dallas Wilson, who was reported as a 5-Star. Perhaps on other services, but he is a Rivals 4-Star, and losing him did not change Oregon's No. 1 Ranking for the 2025 Recruiting Class. Why? Because Rivals looks at your best 20 signed recruits, and this way a team that signs 29 recruits is not rewarded more with a bunch of 2 or 3-Stars than a team that signs 22 recruits of high quality. In Oregon's case, we signed 20 recruits, and our average per recruit is still the best, hence why we retain the No. 1 Recruiting Ranking on Rivals. Having a record Four of the 5-Star recruits on Rivals is why, and is just astonishing. For the complete list of Oregon's signed recruits, you will find them right here, and the team rankings are below. 2025 all-teams football recruiting team rankings N.RIVALS.COM 2025 all-teams football recruiting team rankings by Rivals.com So when you hear nonsense about Oregon being No. 2 or No. 3...know that on the toughest ranking service...Oregon is No. 1! Now this could change after the February signing period, and I will revisit it then, and update everyone.

Love seeing the Ducks at #1 . . . not sure I expected to see that in my lifetime. One question? Any concern about the D-line? I see a couple DE recruits, but no Tackles. Are there good DTs waiting in the wings, or is this a Transfer Portal position now? Given Lanning's defensive background, was hoping he could recruit blue-chip talent at the DT position.

Charles Fischer Author Administrator No. 3 Share Posted Thursday at 11:22 PM My impression is that we tried for a number of the top defensive tackles, but missed. Because we have so much extremely young depth at defensive tackle, I am assuming that they wanted only top-tier or none. However, they may be going to the portal, and the new JC Transfer rule in another thread could impact whether Jamaree Caldwell returns. 1 1 Mr. FishDuck Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
