Gresham has set a commitment date. I mentioned him a month ago in a Flock Talk with this commentary:

Keep an eye on three-star wide receiver Dillon Gresham. The San Jacinto (CA) High School standout is very high on Oregon and there is a feeling that he could pick Oregon. He wants to commit early next month and this could be a case of Oregon taking a couple more players than expected as they try to replenish the wide receiver room.

If he were a little bit bigger, there is a feeling he might be a much higher rated prospect. He caught 90 passes for over 2000 yards and 31 receiving touchdowns a season ago. Those numbers are insanely good, and he shows solid speed and agility.

Last month at the Rivals Camp Series in Los Angeles, he got a chance to show just how good he can be against some very good competition.

Gresham more than looked the part at the Rivals Camp and that was not the only time this offseason as he was impressive both ways at the recent Passing Down 7-on-7 tournament as well. The low three-star from San Jacinto, Calif., can star at receiver or defensive back, he has excellent size, moves well and already has nearly a dozen offers.

For what it is worth, he is willing to play on either side of the ball – and he could be an impact player on either side of the ball. I expect he will get a nice bump in a reranking down the line. He has had a great offseason.

Mostly tomorrow is a full scouting report on each of the new commitments, but here are he recruiting notes from the weekend:

RECRUITING NOTES:

The Ducks hosted a large contingent of 2025, 2026, and 2027 FSP athletes as well as a smaller contingent of elite 2024 prospects over the weekend and the events held (like the scavenger hunt) were a massive hit with the players as it showed the personable side of Dan Lanning and this staff.

Brandon Baker is still set for an official visit in June, so it should show something that he also made the quick, unexpected trip over the weekend. Offneive line coach A’lique Terry had some ground to make up early on in this process, and everything I have heard is that he has been a force in every room he enters.

At this point, based on the things I have heard, what we have all seen, and the prioritization Terry has put into getting Baker, I would be very surprised to see him end up anywhere other than Oregon.

For a long time, Georgia has been considered a heavy favorite for Aydin Breland, but the Ducks have made up tremendous ground and the work being done by Tony Tuioti, Tosh Lupoi, and Dan Lanning has gone a long way to close the gap.

While one unexpected visit may not mark a change in long term projections, the Ducks are slowly working their way in this one and I like the Ducks chances more today than I did a week ago.

I think that – despite some visits to other schools over the last couple of months – Terry has done a great job with Fox Crader and there is a strong indication that he is very happy with his commitment to Oregon. His visit along with Trent Ferguson and Baker this past weekend are a pretty good tell that he staff want this group of linemen to start developing chemistry for the future.

More and more I feel like Jason Brown is also going to be an Oregon commit whenever that time comes. He loves Coach Lock and the offensive system and feels a close relationship with several of the incoming 2024 guys.

All for now!

Nyckoles Who?

Was one of the best.

Hi name is Kario Oquendo, and he's a 6-foot 4 guard.

Ducks on ESPN2. Playing the Domers. Ducks lead early 5-1

Huskies get a lot of love. Dorlus and IRving 4th team.

Will he wind up in the Pac-1X in the near future?

He isn’t even on the roster. He’s from The Netherlands. A friend of mine who officiates says that he is physically impressive … he estimates 6’4 and built to the tilt. My friend thinks that his potential is awesome.

Decathletes can come in different type of bodies. This guy will get points in the power and explosive events.

Boom! Oregon now has a new highest-rated commitment in the class as four-star Rivals100 quarterback Michael Van Buren has announced his pledge to the Ducks this afternoon. Oregon beats out Penn State and Maryland for the No. 59 recruit in the 2024 class. A huge, huge recruiting victory for Dan Lanning, Will Stein and the staff. Ducks now have two high-level signal callers in the class.

Oregon's big Saturday is going exactly as hoped for the Ducks as less than an hour after Rivals100 QB Michael Van Buren announced his commitment to the Ducks, Rivals100 defensive lineman Xadavien Sims announces his pledge to play for Dan Lanning. Oregon beats out in-state Oklahoma, Michigan State, TCU, and Vanderbilt for the No. 74-ranked prospect in the class.

Jason Zandamela. The Ducks were by his school two weeks ago for a fresh look, too. Uphill battle with a commitment coming soon

He came into a strong hand, but he managed to hold them together and coach them into a Pac12 title.

A look at the the current class ranking is scary for PAC?? members' fans. Albeit early, having a big gap between the Ducks and the second highest ranked Arizona is not what we want to see. If there is anything good to see in the listing, it is that USC and UCLA are quite a bit behind the Wildcats. For the conference to succeed we need to see better things.


It is nicer to see that none of the six teams ahead or Oregon have fewer current commits than the 11 the Ducks have so far, meaning there is a little slack to pull in

Just saw Mia will be highlighted on Fox News with Sandra Smith who was a track sprinter at LSU in college. Great exposure for her but will make keeping her in state more difficult.

Go Ducks!
