During an update interview with Rivals, Williams talks about his desire to visit Oregon.

Ducks took game one last night 4-3 on a Tanner Smith home run in the 9th. Big game one win especially since regular Friday night starter Adam Maier did not pitch. Ducks looking for the BIG series win tomorrow to open Pac 12 play.

With Aaron in Vegas for the Pac-12 tournament and Jacob on the road today, we're excited to have Gabriel Marvin make his debut for us out at spring practice No. 1. He'll be over at the field in about an hour as things get going. We're only allowed to watch the first 15-20 minutes, and then Dan Lanning has a Zoom call with us at noon.

Gabriel will drop some observations in here and then have a full "Takeaways and Observations" writeup, plus a second story from the Zoom call.

On Saturday, Gabriel and Jacob will tag-team practice.

The fun begins!

Very interesting as there is no mention of what he is leaving to do.

Max is bringing it.

More spring preview content from Aaron:

There are several criterium for form charts. Chile Duck is the master of the form charts. If you use the criteria of Personal Bests, then the Duck men are sitting in forth place for the Indoor Championships. Form Charts are not track meets. Track meets are actually not easily predictable, but our men are coming on like a locomotive.
