Here are the early takeaways and observations from Aaron:

More late-week recruiting news and rumors:

Lots of news from a busy weekend:

Some pundits predicting he will committ to Ole Miss.

A report on spring practice today again says that Flowe is not practicing. What is going on? does he have a non-healing fracture that may need surgery? Is he finished?

All-PAC-HM and Defensive HM this last season. Grad transfer

I liked her hustle and defense. After her mid season injury she never really got serious playing time. I thought she would be good depth so this is a bummer.
Expect more.....maybe another transfer but certainly more incoming.
Am I alone in thinking this portal and NLI crap is on the verge of ruining the college game in football and basketball?

**** Other than Stanford and WSU the whole Pac-12 and basically country is living what we are!

From our Gabriel Marvin:

From Aaron Heisen:

From Jacob Hamre:

We have the full team out there tomorrow morning as Aaron Heisen, Jacob Hamre and Gabriel Marvin will all be at practice. We get Lanning, Demetrice Martin and several DBs afterward, so look for a bunch of stories.

Ty Thompson had some great perspective on Oregon's WRs, especially noting the growth he's seen in Dont'e Thornton, and how quickly transfer Chase Cota has picked up the offense.

Kenny Dillingham said Oregon will have the ability to go under center in short-yardage situations.

And Bo Nix talked about his experience going against Dan Lanning's Georgia defenses.

Ducks lost a pitchers duel last night. Oregon could never really get the bats going, losing 3-2. The good news, pitcher RJ Gordon (true sophomore) is looking better as the starter went into the 6th before giving up a run. If the ducks can start to get some pitching going they would have a great shot at Omaha. Ducks will look to even the series tonight in LA

There was no viewing portion for media today, so we won't have any observations/takeaways, but they are making Kenny Dillingham and the QBs available. Jacob Hamre is out there and will have a couple stories. They should be talking to them right about now, so stay tuned.

Here are the official results from Oregon's Pro Day today. Unsurprisingly, Devon Allen had the best 40-yard dash time with a 4.35.

They lost all three in So. Cal. as the Bruins pitching staff was just too much for the lady Ducks. The Bruins were the team that got the clutch hits during the series and hit I believe 4 or 5 dingers over the series.
The Ducks are a solid team but not quite elite at this point, the bats went quite silent against their deep and talented group of hurlers!
Here's to continued improvement!

I like the new Commish...
