June 19Jun 19 It sounded like the NIL offer was greater from TAMU than Oregon on this one. He apparently is a life long Ducks fan but Oregon wasn't going to match the offer from what I've read. But this might be one we wait and see on come December.

June 19Jun 19 Moderator Even with the bigger NIL offer I'd be leery of TA&M just because of their recent history with trying to cobble together rosters with enormous amounts of money, didn't work out too well for Jimbo Fisher.
June 20Jun 20 Here are the top 50 recruits according to ON/3. Ducks, Ohio St, U$C and A$M are the only ones with two. We will not get every recruit we go after.

June 20Jun 20 recruiting these days isn't about incoming freshmen but incoming Redshirt Freshmen/Sophomores. If they are lifelong Duck fans but the coin is much greener, I don't blame them. You get one shot at generational money. Set your family up. But, when you have that first ridiculous payout, then consider the Ducks with a transfer, for a slightly lesser payout of course.

June 21Jun 21 The only silver lining in this is that we have some excellent young DBs and a couple of DB commits already. So probably doesn’t hurt too bad. Same with the DB that just committed to Notre Dame. Where are the OL guys in 2026? That’s my big concern right now. We don’t want to be USC and have 22 DBs on the roster and no linemen.

I will spin it the other way, the long time fan whiffed on the Ducks. USC is recruiting with a blank check, "Hey kid, how much is it gonna take?" That is not a strategy even if the player had to stay with the Trojans. He doesn't of course which has USC living up to the adage, "A fool and his money are soon parted"

Many of these 'Lost Boys' will likely be available on the rebound before signing day or out of the portal.
