WaterPoloDuck No. 2 Share Posted December 21, 2022 With this, Matayo, and the rest of the class, I believe in Dan the Man! My goodness.

OregonDucks No. 4 Share Posted December 21, 2022 (edited) Great pickup at another position of need! Hope Peyton (great name) can contribute right away.

Mom doesn't look happy when he announces Oregon Just curious, where have you seen these rumors regarding Peyton Bowen? I also asked on another thread but haven't been told where to find this rumor. I've been reading about his commitment, watched his commitment tape several times and haven't seen any mention of his parents questioning his decision regarding Oregon or them being unhappy with his decision. These kids have a lot of reasons for delaying. In reading an article about Dante Moore, his commitment announcement to UCLA was delayed because he decided to hire someone to design a special one for him instead of using the UCLA one. This is the one showing him in sunglasses with Hollywood on it. He has until Friday to sign early. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see how he fits into this. We could be watching the first ESD live commit that is just a chess move NIL play. Last week it was rumored the Ducks and Sooners were in a NIL bidding war over the kid. Now he is giving the Sooners a chance to up the NIL offer if they want - he could also be trying to rope the Ducks into a new bid on his NIL. Maybe he will put on a Sooner hat today and a Ducks hat on Friday. Edited December 22, 2022 by DazeNconfused Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tandaian No. 21 Share Posted December 22, 2022 It isn't my money, but I hope the Ducks never get in a bidding war for High School kids. Players of course deserve to make their money, but I think it is silly to be giving huge money to HS kids. Just like the NFL has rookie caps, because they are unproven at the next level. When you produce, then you get paid. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems Oregon is being declared the big winner of Signing Day 2022 (even tho Alabama 'won' the most signees). Don't ask me why but it probably has more to do with the fact that many in the National media think Oregon ought to be a perennial cellar-dweller and can't figure out why they're doing so well.

The guy is from the Dallas, TX suburbs. If he plays at Oklahoma his parents can go to every game and still live in Dallas. If he plays at Notre Dame then his parents can fly a couple hours to South Bend and see quite a few of his games. If he plays in Eugene his parents are looking at 8 hour flights to see his games. My guess from the rumors is his parents want to see more of him during his college years and he really connected with the Oregon coaches/program. It's a hard situation really, I completely understand if he ends up at Oklahoma. Still, he's very likely to get more recognition playing at Oregon than Oklahoma... he's a better standout player in the PAC than the SEC. His Mom was clapping for Notre Dame and covered her face when he switched to Oregon... Edited December 22, 2022 by Duck Fan 76 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then you have to add for drive time to DFW -- could easily be +1 hour. Then you'd want to arrive about an hour before your flight = + 1 more hour. Then when you get to Eugene, add 30 minutes to pick your rental car. So, all-in-all, it's an easy 7 hour trip. Plus, flying these days usually sucks.

The original post was comparing the travel time from Dallas to Eugene vs. South Bend. The total travel time is ~50 minutes more to Eugene than to South Bend (3 hours and 37 minutes to Eugene vs. 2 hours and 46 minutes to South Bend). I doubt that would be the deciding factor between Oregon and Norte Dame. Plus, with NIL $$$ the family could easily travel now to see Peyton play, if they wanted to, and pay for TSA Pre-Check!

Desert Duck No. 41 Share Posted December 22, 2022 I've had Global Entry for 10 years. But I'm also realistic regarding travel time, delays, etc. But $85 for 5 years of PreCheck is not a barrier for anyone. And yes, travel time to S Bend v Eugene is about the same. This situation seems to be rooted in one currently confused family not being remotely on the same page. I have just on word for them: Go-Ducks (okay... admittedly that's more like 1.5 words, or so).
