Pennsylvania Duck Moderator No. 1 Share Posted February 24, 2023 What’s encouraging about the 2023 season is that it could feature one of the most talented rosters we’ve ever seen at Oregon. It’s hard to quantify talent, but one of the best ways is to look back at recruiting rankings and go from there. Of course, some of the best players in Oregon history were not highly-rated recruits — take Marcus Mariota or Justin Herbert, for example — so predicting success based on a 247Sports score is not a perfect practice. However, if you look at some of the top recruits in Oregon history — Kayvon Thibodeaux, Haloti Ngata, Jonathan Stewart, etc. — then you can see that it offers at least a solid representation of perceived talent. For this exercise, we looked at Oregon’s current roster heading into spring football and took a look at how many of them fall in the top 100 of Oregon’s all-time recruiting list.

Tandaian No. 3 Share Posted February 24, 2023 Hopefully the talent on paper shows up on the field. I don't want to be Notre Dame or Texas A&M and only look good on paper. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
