2 hours ago2 hr No. Henry announced for Ohio State.Oregon has the No. 3 ranked receiver in the nation along with the No. 15th best receiver in the US signed in this class.

We are in GREAT shape at receiver...Evan Stewart
2 hours ago2 hr Author No. What a line up of teams going after him.Didn't know LSU was involved, but Kiffin still wants a say.
2 hours ago2 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 58 minutes ago58 min by Solar

1 hour ago1 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.
45 minutes ago45 min 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!
44 minutes ago44 min No. No coach, including Ryan Day and Dan Lanning, should assume more than a one-season commitment these days.
29 minutes ago29 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.

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.
