We are in GREAT shape at receiver...Evan Stewart
4 hours ago4 hr Author No. What a line up of teams going after him.Didn't know LSU was involved, but Kiffin still wants a say.
4 hours ago4 hr No. How fun, an encore! Get you popcorn and enjoy the show, literally.Based on the info in the article, I'd say 95% chance he still ends up at Ohio State with a sweetened pot. He and his agent played the hand they were dealt well. Edited 4 hours ago4 hr by Solar

A flood of teams will rush in with their actual highest and best offer.

He wisely took a step back, then his agent didn't let the crisis go to waste.Now we get to see if Day and company were able to address the loss of services of Hartline to his satisfaction.

3 hours ago3 hr Moderator No. Cue Ryan Day complaining about how the earl signing period shouldn't take place during championship weekend. I bet Cignetti was loving this drama.
3 hours ago3 hr Moderator No. Got to give the rest of the country a fighting chance to compete. Jeez this team is going to be freaking awesome for years to come!
3 hours ago3 hr No. No coach, including Ryan Day and Dan Lanning, should assume more than a one-season commitment these days.
2 hours ago2 hr No. I get the feeling that while Oregon is competitive with anyone, when it comes to NIL, it doesn’t want to set the market, especially for QB and skilled players. Thus Oregon loses out on the top, top recruits from time to time when it comes down to a NIL bidding war. Best of luck to Chris Henry, Jr. except when he plays Oregon. More reason to hate Ohio State and want to beat them on the field. We have an outstanding recruiting class and I wouldn’t trade Coach Lanning for anyone.

Dave Portnoy contributed $12M to get Bryce Underwood to Michigan but is now saying he’s not going to pay any more money to keep him. Underwood was good but he move the needle that much. Awful AnnouncingDave Portnoy won't commit more NIL money to help Michigan...Michigan alum Dave Portnoy put money in the NIL pot to snag Bryce Underwood last year, but won't commit any more to keep him in Ann Arbor.

2 hours ago2 hr Moderator No. Henry's delay accomplished one thing. He kept Ryan Day's cardiologist busy.
1 hour ago1 hr No. Does it kinda suck to lose out on Henry... yeah.. But... BUT! We have as many 5 Star recruits as 3 stars according to Rivals! That is just INSANE!
1 hour ago1 hr No. 38 minutes ago, Charles Fischer said:So next year we have Evan Stewart, Dak, McClellan, and a ton of talented freshmen. We are in GREAT shape at receiver...I didn’t realize that Evan Stewart had another year. I’m assuming if he played in the playoffs, he wouldn’t jeopardize his eligibility for next year?
1 hour ago1 hr Moderator No. 10 minutes ago, OregonDucks said:I didn’t realize that Evan Stewart had another year. I’m assuming if he played in the playoffs, he wouldn’t jeopardize his eligibility for next year?Last I recall, playoff/bowl games don't count towards the number of games a player participates in during a season. So Stewart should be able to get a medical redshirt even if it's able to help during the CFP.

Smart of him to sign with tosu.
