Charles Fischer Administrator No. 2 Share Posted May 3, 2022 This is a really good article, but a guy who got roasted in another post here--as an apologist for Lincoln Riley. If this article doesn't get your recruiting juices going... "Lanning had 5-star talent to work with, of course, and that matters a great deal when it comes to the tip-top of the NFL Draft, but these are 2018 and 2019 signees we’re talking about; they stayed, developed, played, won, then capitalized. That’ll play. Think about the pitch Lanning can make now with the No. 1 overall pick, defensive lineman Travon Walker, as his starting point." 2 Mr. FishDuck Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
EastBayDuckDad Moderator No. 3 Share Posted May 3, 2022 As glad as most of us ultimately were with the coaching change, don't lose sight of the fact that the 2019-20 Rose Bowl winning Ducks have 15 starters from that team on active NFL rosters. Not counting 2022, five were UDFAs: Faoliu, Kampmoyer, Scott, Juwan Johnson and Throckmorton. Not saying they will all be on rosters in September, but they are there now. Four of the starting five O-line are on teams: Sewell, Throckmorton, Lemieux and Hansen. All coached by MC and Mini-M. So they did something right even if they couldn't offensive game coach their way out of a paper bag. I guess my point is to not lament too much the dismal 2022 draft showing. No doubt several of the players that went undrafted and have signed UDFA contracts got crappy advice and declared a year too early. Some like VMIII and Wright will likely succeed as they were legit draft targets. But the article posted by 30Duck shows the silver lining in the cloudy 2022 draft results for the Ducks. Oregon is a national destination for blue chip recruits and Lanning will burnish that credential with the staff he has brought in and their history of building champions. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haywarduck Moderator No. 4 Share Posted May 3, 2022 Agree completely with this quote, Recruiting is about stacking advantages, about finding as many cards as you can because one is eventually going to be the trump card for someone. Lanning and his team of coaches see the advantages Oregon has and they all bring advantages. As has been noted, probably the biggest advantage is this team of coaches have is knowing how to develop players. Developing players into a team of individuals focused on team goals and individual development. We may never out recruit Texas A$M, but we can out develop them and out scheme them, and win it all. The card game is all set with these guys ready to pull of the card trick of the century. That trump card just might be our staff! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
