NJDuck Moderator No. 1 Share Posted June 28, 2022 I am not sure if this article was mentioned, but what is worth noting in this article is a paragraph talking about Cedric Baxter Jr. emerging as a top target for Alabama at running back. Maybe we have a great shot at landing Young to Oregon. Love the picture of Moore handing the ball off to Young. Moore/Young combo at Oregon? Go Ducks, Fly High!

Charles Fischer Administrator No. 3 Share Posted June 28, 2022 Websites that report news are hard-up for content, as that article is just a bunch of "blah-blah" that we already know. "If Moore comes to Oregon--it will help further recruiting!" 2 1 Mr. FishDuck Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DazeNconfused No. 4 Share Posted June 28, 2022 It means other top recruits will join the Ducks Flock, we will all be slapping each other on the back saying how great Lanning can recruit! We will also be saying how lame Mario was on offense and we won't be losing any of these recruits to the Portal after they feel they got sold a bait and switch. 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Washington just had a string of new verbals...as they have 12 verbals, but 11 are 3-Star, with only one 4-Star on Rivals. By contrast Oregon has eight verbals with half, or four of the 4-Stars, with more coming. The Huskies have more points because they have more verbals at the moment. We will have 25 commits eventually, so I do not hit panic button this early. I am not trying to be dismissive of your concerns, but I believe they are premature. I have been following Oregon recruiting closely for nearly 25 years, and continue reading everything about it on the two subscription Oregon sites. I have also written quite a few recruiting articles over the years as well. I am not saying I am always correct, but I do believe your concerns before July 1st are a bit early. We will get ours. 4 Mr. FishDuck Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duck 1972 No. 8 Share Posted June 29, 2022 I agree. That's not why I posted the rankings. I was just trying to point out UW is doing a good job of recruiting. I think that will surprise some people in OBD family. I think we need 4 great teams every year in the Pac. That will help our national rep. The Ducks, USC, Utah and UW would be a nice start. Then a UCLA, Ariz, Oregon State, and Stanford could sneak in every once in a while. SC, Utah, or buttsniffers would drop out. We need UW to be good, just not that good which shouldn't be a problem.

Charles Fischer Administrator No. 9 Share Posted June 29, 2022 If you consider a typical class of 25 players, they are halfway there with only one four-star player. By the time it is over, I don’t think they will even be in the top 30 in the nation, which is not that great. Compared to Chris Peterson, that is not good recruiting, which is what my point was. 2 Mr. FishDuck Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not it's not compared the Peterson, but Pete had long time west coast connections. DeBoer don't have that, so he needs to show he can turn a 180 with this team from last year. That will boost him into a 2024 class that still might not be as good as Pete did Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krsmqn No. 11 Share Posted June 29, 2022 I just published a post a few minutes ago expressing my concerns on the recruiting ranking matter. Then I read this post, and the comments. I feel put at ease now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
