We don't post pay-article sites.

 

Give us a summary?

Sorry, Charles. I only posted it because I was able to read it without an Athletic subscription so I  assumed that it wasn't paywalled....perhaps because it is nearly a week old now?

 

In any event, I am unable to delete it at this point, or I would.  My intentions were to follow protocol,  so I beg forgiveness.  A summary follows in case others are unable to access the article.  

 

Wasserman lists the Oregon signing day flips and last minute 5-star signings as an indication that Oregon is efforting to stay in the major leagues of college football, namely the NCAA blue bloods.

 

He cites Phil Knight's wealth as the main reason for this ability and likens our class to last year's Texas A&M class.  The schools we are afflicting include: Georgia, USC, Baylor, LSU, Texas, tOSU, Notre Dame, etc.

 

He further suggests that Dan Lanning's SEC experience provides him with the insight into what it takes to have a championship roster and he is using Oregon's (read: Phil Knight) resources to try and cultivate a championship team quickly.....following the path of the aforementioned Universities.

 

Hence, the scorn of the elites

I googled Oregon Recruiting Like SEC Team, the Wasserman article came up at the top. Clicked on it and was able to read entire article. Recommended read.

No sweat--none of us wear halos here, and I've made a few mistakes recently myself.  It was off-limits to me, but others can read it--so thanks for letting us know about it.

I am grateful for the forum and appreciate the opportunity to contribute.  I will screw up again but it will always be in good faith.
