Now that spring practice has come and gone, I am curious to find out what is happening, practice-wise, with the team. Are there organized workouts? Freelance workouts?
What is going on now, the latter part of spring quarter, and what will practice/workouts look like this summer?
Thanks, in advance, for any insight into this.

I will be in meeting for most of the mornign tomorrow but wanted to get these notes from tomorrow's Flock Talk out here:

RECRUITING THOUGHTS

- Dakorien Moore was scheduled to be in Eugene this weekend but that plan has changed as he focuses on track with his teammates at Duncanville. I know it is easy to read a lot into this following his decommitment from LSU, but I don’t think this canceled visit is a sign of anything other than his work with his track team.

- St. Frances Academy was good to Oregon in the 2024 class with cornerback Ify Obidegwu signing with Oregon and looking like he could get some early playing time and start making an impact. His former teammate – Blake Woody – who had been committed to Ohio State since last October has decommitted. The four-star is rated as the No. 35 overall player in the nation and has visited Oregon as recently as last month. I like where Oregon stands here and the staff feel good about where they stand following the visit as well.

After the War Room article on Wednesday a couple of additional visitors were scheduled including Oregon commits Akili Smith, Jr. and Isaiah Mozee.

The other three ‘new’ visitors are very intriguing for different reasons.

Getting elite cornerback – and Ohio State commit – Na’eem Offord on campus is a massive thing for the Ducks. That does not necessarily mean he is going to flip or is on flip watch, but the Ducks would love to get some more traction here and see if there is a chance to get a flip from the 6-1, 175-pound Birmingham (AL) Parker High School five-star. This is the kind of defensive back that Lanning covets and would be a massive story. Definitely someone to keep an eye on over the next couple of months.

Hill is largely thought to be a heavy Ohio State lean which makes a lot of sense given his proximity to the Buckeyes program, but this is another sneaky good visit for the Ducks as they look to continue building a defensive group that shows tremendous promise over the long term a swell as the short term.

As a junior, Hill recorded 36 tackles, 16 tackles for a loss, 13 sacks and two fumble recoveries. The Ducks have done a good job so far in his recruitment and this visit could make an impact with the 6-3, 220-pound EDGE prospect.

Rivals has Utu as the No. 2 offensive tackle in the nation and No. 8 overall player in the nation. The 6-4, 300-pound five-star is a big target and the Ducks would love to have an heir apparent following this season as it is widely expected that Josh Conerly will likely head to the NFL Draft along with fellow Oregon tackle Ajani Cornelius.

I still think that the Ducks have some work to do here and I do not get a feeling that the Ducks are ‘all in’ just yet, but this visit could give us a much better idea of where the Ducks sit heading into the summer.

Five-star running back Jordon Davison will take an official visit to Oregon next month as he hits the next phase of his recruitment. He's not in a rush to make a decision, but now that he's narrowed his focus to four schools he wants to take official visits to each. The Ducks have been able to keep the relationship going through the coaching change at RB thanks to Will Stein and Dan Lanning, but Ra'Shaad Samples has also been making a positive early impression since taking over the recruitment.

I caught up with Davison to discuss where things stand with Oregon as he hits the next stage of his recruitment.

"The direction the program is trending," he said about why Oregon remains in the running for his commitment. "It's close to home, convenient for my family. I have a lot of teammates up there, so I'll always be familiar with the players up there if I go there. Then, really just the relationships I have with coach (Will) Stein and coach Dan Lanning. Getting to know coach Samples, everything has been amazing."

I realize this is a very quiet time for football news, but this site is beyond drowsy. Maybe someone could start a thread on favorite beer or best sitcom. Bueller? Anyone?

Was joined by @Matt Moreno to debate this week:

We just had a huge recruiting weekend...thought I would give it a shot.

2026 five-star quarterback Ryder Lyons will be visiting Oregon this weekend.

The Utah State bball player reportedly received $2 million to play for the Huskies
I just don’t understand the return on these investments. What does the NIL cost become to a college basketball team? I understand the cost is to a collective but really?

He's pulling his weight and almost always has the most PT of any non-starter. I might even start watching some of these. Pretty nice, balanced stat line tonight.

Track meets end with my favorite event, the 4x400 relay. It is a race of speed, but also a race of pain, determination, and team work.

Going into the 4x400 final. all the talk was about USC’ s 4x400 team. They are stacked with talent and have a renown sprint coach.

As the women came to the starting line,
I remarked “don’t count our women out this 4x400” These women are competitors.

When Grebo came out of the starting blocks, I could feel something
almost spiritual. Each exchange was smooth, and each leg was run as it they were being chased by a lion.

When Shaniya Hall crossed the finish line and collapsed from exhaustion on the track, Shana Grebo was there in an instant to celebrate with her. Moments later Ella Clayton and Katriina Wright joined into the group embrace. These kids are special.

The entire women’s team were cheering and dancing in the stands. They pulled off a 4x400 upset that will be long remembered. Never count these women out. NEVER!

They inspire me!

Special appreciation goes out to Shana Grebo for choosing to run with her COLLEGE teammates. We will see her again in the NCAA’s. She will be running for Oregon…. then we hope to see her in Paris running for France in their 4x 400.
She has made it clear that she loves the University of Oregon! We love her back!

Nasir Wyatt is one of Oregon's top commits in the 2025 class, and I caught up with him yesterday at the Mater Dei spring showcase to recount his decision to pick the Ducks plus discuss what it meant to him to see so many Ducks coaches on hand at his practice yesterday. We also dive into his future role at Oregon, what comes next and a lot more.

The Ducks were the program most well represented at Mater Dei’s spring college showcase Tuesday afternoon. Oregon had six coaches in attendance at the school in Southern California including OC Will Stein, co-DC Chris Hampton, RB coach Ra’Shaad Samples, TE coach Drew Mehringer, DL coach Tony Tuioti and OL coach A’lique Terry all watching the practice.

DC Tosh Lupoi stopped by earlier in the day as well.

It was quite the showing from the staff for a team that has one of the most talented rosters in the country. Mater Dei edge rusher Nasir Wyatt is already committed to Oregon while Marcus Harris has an official visit set up with the Ducks this summer and RB Jordon Davison has the team as part of his top four.

The latest here:

The commitment of Hill marks the seventh known commitment to Oregon's class of 2025, solidifying the Ducks' position in the national rankings. With this addition, Oregon's recruiting class now stands at No. 15 in the nation, setting a strong foundation for the team's future success.
