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!

A look at the 2025 Rivals250 quarterbacks here:

RECRUITING NOTES:

• As I mentioned last night, I expect Dillon Gresham to pick Oregon on Monday. Gresham has all of the tools to be something special at the next level as he showcases impressive athleticism, agility, and great hands. His route running is precise, as he consistently creates separation from defenders and demonstrates excellent body control while making difficult catches. Gresham possesses outstanding speed, enabling him to stretch the field and be a deep threat. He shows a knack for finding open spaces in the defense and has the ability to make plays after the catch, displaying elusiveness and a burst of acceleration.
  
  
• I also expect a Double quack Saturday. I really feel like Oregon has been trending for both Michael van Buren and Xadavien Sims over the last few weeks.
  
  The biggest question is how much of a push Oklahoma makes and can they get him to make a Sooner commitment. Right now even my Sooner insiders feel like this one has turned in Oregon’s favor – so much so that there are already the ‘we didn’t want him anyway’ comments coming from their message boards. Sooner insiders have told me that they think he is Oregon as well.
  
  
• Oregon has made the final five for tight end Ryner Swanson who will be making an official visit next soon. The Ducks are in a solid position and will continue to be so. There is a chance he takes a religious mission prior to his first season, so let’s see how the rest of his recruitment plays out.
  
  
• We don’t get much stuff on basketball, but Vyctorius Miller, the illustrious 4-star shooting guard and the nation's No. 31 overall player according to Rivals.com, is currently gracing the campus of the University of Oregon for an official visit with the Ducks. The basketball world eagerly anticipates his decision as he explores his collegiate options.
  
  What makes this visit all the more intriguing is Miller's connection with Mookie Cook, a highly sought-after 5-star prospect and incoming freshman at Oregon. These two exceptional talents were once teammates at Compass Prep High School in Arizona, forging a formidable partnership on the court. Their potential reunion in Eugene adds an extra layer of excitement to this visit.
  
  While Miller's physical attributes as a "big guard" have long been recognized, it is his dynamic skill set that truly sets him apart. Blessed with size, length, and exceptional ball-handling ability, he effortlessly orchestrates plays, both for himself and his teammates. His passing prowess is particularly noteworthy, leaving defenders scrambling to anticipate his next move.
  
  Amidst his visit to Oregon, Miller remains deeply rooted in his home state of Arizona, where he continues to dominate the prep basketball scene. His commitment and dedication to honing his craft are evident, as he consistently proves himself a standout player.

Oregon fans will have a couple big announcements to pay attention to Saturday when key targets Xadavien Sims and Michael Van Buren announce their commitments. Sims announced his plans earlier in the week while simultaneously announcing a top group of Oregon, Vanderbilt, TCU, Michigan State and Oklahoma. Meanwhile, Van Buren previously released a top 3 of Oregon, Penn State and Maryland. Tonight he's announced he will now come to a decision Saturday as well.

So, it could be a big day for the Ducks. Van Buren is trending to Oregon in a big way leading into the four-star quarterback's announcement while the program has also made strides with Sims, a Rivals100 defensive lineman from Oklahoma. Oregon holds 100% of the Rivals FutureCast picks for Van Buren while Oklahoma leads for Sims, though only one selection has been logged so far.

The men finish 6th.
One worrisome note is that immediately following her second place finish, freshman 100 hurdler Aaliyah McCormack grabbed her hamstring and needed help while limping off the track.

Congratulations to Coach Jerry Schumacher and his entire staff.

Three-star transfer (No. 377 - Rivals) Nikko Reed, as Scott wrote about today, is trending toward the Ducks and now you have this tweet from Demetrice Martin (above). Could it be that the Ducks add another transfer before the day is over? Reed and Martin worked together at Colorado before the latter made the move to Eugene to join Dan Lanning's staff. That CU-to-Oregon combination has already worked once with Christian Gonzalez following Martin last year to go on and become a first-round draft pick.

Yes, another musical reference; easier for some, not so much for others. Very easily googled.

Talking about TV stuff today with a couple of recruiting notes at the end.
