Jon Joseph No. 4 Share Posted March 9, 2022 Friends, help me please. Why is this weekend a particularly good weekend to host this kind of talent? I think this Conerly's 2nd visit? Don't know about the other guys. Isn't this a 'dead' sports weekend on campus? Make no mistake, I'm happy all these guys are tripping to Eugene but I'm confused as to why so many guys are coming this weekend when they cannot experience a football weekend. Thanks.

Maybe it's because the recruits will be able to spend more time talking to the coaches (and the coaches to them)? They can take a little more time to show them the facilities, etc. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

My guess is the start of spring practice. The second session is scheduled for Saturday which means the visitors will be around the entire team and coaching staff. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey Jon--I am guessing, but what I know of recruiting....1) get them in when they want, and if they want now--better than none at all. 2) When you have a big group like this...you can pull all the stops out and have celebrity Oregon former players on hand, for example--really go all-out, vs. what would happen for one recruit visiting. 3) Showing the recruits how the staff actually operates with practices and interacts with current players helps the recruits and the parents. 4) Two of those guys are deciding soon for 2022 still, and if this can seal-the-deal....do it. 5) Many of the 2023 recruits want to decide this spring and summer to get the decision out of the way before football season so they can focus upon their senior season and not the hassle of recruiting. Frankly....this has turned out to be a MUCH bigger weekend for recruiting than most of us thought. See the thread about the Lanning interview and scroll down and see some of my quotes about recruiting from Lanning... Or, I am full-of-it, and am just guessing like everyone else! 1 1 Mr. FishDuck Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wrathis No. 16 Share Posted March 9, 2022 I have to admit, I really like this. Peer pressure is a strong force, and if you can convince one or two to commit, then others might likely follow. Success breeds further success and if we can just get one of those guys excited and wanting on board, then it's quite possible we end up with 4-5 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haywarduck Moderator No. 17 Share Posted March 9, 2022 I find it amazing we are even able to ask why this weekend. It use to be I would just wish one of those guys would have us on their list, let along visit. Wasn't the old line come to Eugene, and have a buffet brunch at the Valley River Center, now it's a bit more compelling! 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coach Lanning has emphasized that recruiting is a 24/7 endeavor 365 1/4 days per year. I expect great things from the effort. From all indications, Lanning is bringing a level of commitment and focus that we've never seen in Eugene. He won't be satisfied with mere Pac-12 championships and Rose Bowl appearances. He has a vision to take the Ducks to multiple playoff berths and not one, but several, national championships. If Lanning falls short and wins just one national championship in the next four or five seasons, I'll consider it a huge success. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haywarduck Moderator No. 22 Share Posted March 9, 2022 I also look for Lanning to get his guys, not just the top recruits. The reason it takes so much time for Saban and Alabama to recruit, is he studies each recruit, and does extensive research on each student athlete. I think Lanning is going to be doing this type of deep dive too. My hope is there is less dead wood on the bench, and more guys ready to step up like Bassa did last year. I mean a freshman safety stepping up to play well at LB, we need more Bassa's! 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Lanning falls short and wins just one national championship in the next four or five seasons, I'll consider it a huge success. We have a 4 team field through the 2025 season. First, Oregon needs to make the final 4. To win the 1st title before 2026? That means you have to defeat at least one very good team and one beast. And the delay between the conference champ games and the playoff semifinals only serves to benefit the big boys who have time to get guys healed up. What happens after 2025? The answer to this question has to be resolved in 30 months or so to have a package to sell to the media. As of now there is no consensus on a number of major issues, 8 teams versus 12 for instance, that have to be resolved. And no one including GK is going to put the final stamp of approval on playoff expansion without knowing the dollars involved and the distribution of same come 2026. Today, the P5 gets about 75% of the playoff money. Will the G5 even be in the mix after 2025? Politics says 'Yes' in some manner or another. Will Notre Dame keep its seat at the table? Will the 'new B12' be a P5 conference. Lots of questions that have to be answered but if any conference needs additional PO $ and access, it's the Pac-12. The schedule in 2022 is brutal. Come 2023, with Lanning having a year's experience, at Texas Tech replacing 'at' Georgia, and with 4, not 5 conference road games, the Ducks will have a shot at the final 4.

30Duck No. 24 Share Posted March 9, 2022 I feel that a benefit of having all these top recruits together is "group mentality". They're all there together hearing the coaches, touring the No.1 facilities and Hayward Field together. That bonding can be huge. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It might be that the Ducks have their NIL packages figured out and now is the time to act. I’m with you John it is a little strange or maybe steelhead fishing is hot on the McEnzie River.

Get all these guys together, have them bond on campus at UO, and with current players. This could be a big, big weekend for Oregon Football! I know it means very little, but I have a really good feeling about this weekend that several of these guys will end up at Oregon. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
