1 hour ago1 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 1 hour ago1 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.

I don't blame Oregon for trying. Now get back to coaching the team to win some playoff games! Edited 37 minutes ago37 min by Solar

Sorry to lose him as he would have been a great addition, but the Duck WR room is loaded and with the addition of Lott and Hampton will be just fine.

23 minutes ago23 min No. No coach, including Ryan Day and Dan Lanning, should assume more than a one-season commitment these days.
7 minutes ago7 min 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.
