Charles Fischer Administrator No. 1 Share Posted Friday at 07:35 PM It was unknown if Oregon was pursuing one, but perhaps that was dependent upon what was available? Word on other sites is that the Ducks are checking him out below... See posts below for more information...especially post No. 4 because of a special connection to the Ducks! 1 Mr. FishDuck Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charles Fischer Author Administrator No. 4 Share Posted Friday at 07:55 PM Whoa! The plot thickens....from another site! ------------------------------------------------ "Of note, Makhi Hughes' brother, 2025 class five-star CB Na'eem Offord, signed with Oregon earlier this month" "Google confirms that Offord and Hughes are brothers. Hughes had 1400 yards both his freshman and sophomore years at Tulane He has 2 years of eligibility left. Haven't watched him play, but his stats and starting as a true Freshman suggest that he's a gamer." ----------------------------------------------- Watching those 2023 Highlights above suggest that he has Bucky Irving-type wiggle, and makes people miss, but he does not have huge breakaway speed. Probably similar to Jordan James in that respect, and I do not know if he has Jordan James power. But 1,300 yards a season? Over 900 yards after contact? 2 2 Mr. FishDuck Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Ducky No. 5 Share Posted Friday at 08:10 PM Thanks Charles, I was going to comment on his speed, Charles already did. but the rest is very impressive. Good short yardage back. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Marsh No. 6 Share Posted Friday at 09:25 PM Lanning has no issue bringing in a player who may end up sitting on the bench. Jay Harris is the case and point. He has had some flashes when he's had a chance to touch the ball but there is a reason he isn't in rotation. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HDuck No. 7 Share Posted Friday at 09:33 PM YouTube impression: liked his balance and footwork on his cuts and change of direction moves Sources - Tulane's Makhi Hughes enters transfer portal - ESPN WWW.ESPN.COM Tulane running back Makhi Hughes, who rushed for 1,401 yards and scored 17 total touchdowns this season, has entered the transfer portal, sources told ESPN. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DuckFan93 No. 8 Share Posted Friday at 10:35 PM (edited) Wow. I have been following Tulane football because one of my daughters goes there. Hughes would be a real asset for OBD, or anyone who gets him. Too bad for Tulane as their Offensive squad is now decimated, with pretty much only TT left that nobody wants... But I am liking this Green Waves - OBD connection. We can certainly feed and help each other. Edited Friday at 10:39 PM by DuckFan93 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charles Fischer Author Administrator No. 10 Share Posted Friday at 11:06 PM "I don't think his ceiling is higher than any other backs on our roster other than Limar." Well, I think two years experience at game-speed is everything. Knowing what you can do and not, head faked the linebacker into the wrong gap, etc....all this done for 1,300 yards a year? A Duck in Hand, versus two in the bush,...roster.... 2 1 Mr. FishDuck Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanLduck No. 11 Share Posted Saturday at 08:26 PM I say if we have the schollies, do it. A brother can be a strong connection. Right Tez? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charles Fischer Author Administrator No. 12 Share Posted 2 minutes ago Matt Prehm on 247 just confirmed that yes, Oregon is pursuing Makhi Hughes. Jordan James has stated that he has not made up his mind about returning yet, but I have to assume he is not returning. He has proven all that he needs to, IMHO. There might be in issue with Da'Jaun Riggs for No. 21.... Mr. FishDuck Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
