No time frame, but this staff has really hit the trail with a vengeance early.

Ducks are in really good shape with a couple of key targets. I think only 1 quacks before signing day, but look out for a strong finish with this staff. It will be entertaining.

TMac & many VERY important additions for them…

With Bru entering the portal do we go after him? I believe we have connections with past recruiting and I would think we would have a decent chance….thoughts!?

The Ducks beat the #3 Bruins in LA 84-81 in O.T. Lost a six point lead in the last minute or so to head to overtime but fought hard for the victory. Dana’s 700th career win….
Huge win!!

Oregon Ducks tight end/defensive end DJ Johnson returning in 2022

"I'm excited to be wearing one uniform here from here on out. Certainly pumped up to be here today and the last few days on Oregon's campus, exciting for me. Our staff just got done doing a campus tour and I continue to be impressed with the innovation on this campus. Got to see our academic center and our whole coaching staff got to spend some time over there, see the track facility, find out we're the No. 1 sports business school in the nation. Just some of these things that continue to impress me with where we're headed and the direction and the excitement around our program and this university, is thrilling. Obviously this past week, past month, for me and our staff has been a rollercoaster, a lot of fun. I wouldn't change a minute of it. It's been such a rewarding experience getting to go compete with the guys that I've coached for such a long time and finish on a high note with winning the national championship."

Can you walk us through the process with Sean Dollars, confirm that Trey Benson may or may not do the same, and do you know the status of CJ Verdell and Travis Dye, if they've made a decision?

"Ultimately, I think each one of those conversations is a personal conversation with those players and doesn't necessarily have to be on here. A lot of that is just conversation -- it's that. It's being able to have a conversation. When you're in a different part of the world you can't have those, so when you get back here to home base and you're able to sit down, I think that a lot can be accomplished when that happens. Some of these guys are still going through the process of making some of those decisions, and I don't want to necessarily put a timeline on each person's situation because each situation is different. I'll say this -- I'm excited about the group of backs we have. We'll continue to be aggressive in finding guys that can enhance our program and make us better, but I think a lot of those guys will be a part of what we're doing moving forward."

What's the significance of getting the offensive linemen to come back for another year?

"I'm excited about this team. As much as for the players that we have, the caliber of men that we have on this team that are excited to compete. I think they share a vision that I share of what we can be here and what this program can become. I think they recognize what we're putting together is really special. I want the guys that want to be here. I told our players the very first time I met them the reality is we're going to win with the players that are here, the players that are on this team right now. We're going to continue to focus on the guys that are on this team right now, building our success moving forward with those players, and again, looking for opportunities to enhance it because there are some places that we can grow and places we can get better along the road."

What do you look for in a quarterback and why did Bo Nix fit that, and is it an open competition?

"Yeah, competition breeds excellence ultimately, and we're going to have competition at every position across the board, quarterback included. What I know about Bo, he's an ultimate competitor. I know how hard he worked. Obviously, Coach Dillingham had personal experience getting an opportunity to coach Bo in the past. We were really clear with Bo, 'Hey, you come in here and there's certainly an opportunity to compete.' We're really excited about the guys we have on our roster as well and excited to see those guys come in and compete and go to work. That for me is exciting.

"What am I looking for? Leadership, good work ethic. You don't get to just be the quarterback on the field. That has to leave the field, it has to be exuded in the classroom, on campus, the way you operate day in and day out, and I think we've got a group of guys that do that."

Guess, when you don’t win the Natty...sitting on the bench isn’t as interesting!🙈😜

The article says "top 100," at 71st, while Rivals says 210th. A promising guy who wont have trouble finding a new home. 247 had him as 9th CB and 109th PSA of 2020. Either way, Kirby probably not too happy with this one. The crazy thing at UGa is they have 5* QB's JT Daniels and Brock Vandergriff backing up Bennett.

One of the few ways they can dance would be to win these games. Anything is possible, but the walls are closing in. step up!

I’ll be on the Zoom at 3 p.m. and will have a story up afterward. I should also be able to put the video up on here.

(I've edited the original post to include the video)

East St. Louis (Illinois) offensive tackle Miles McVay was offered by the Ducks and Adrian Klemm today. He's got offers from the likes of Alabama, Georgia, LSU, Michigan State, USC, Oklahoma and Texas A&M among others. Miami was the last school to offer him before Oregon.

Three-star 2020 RB from Mississippi had 22 rushing yards and a touchdown as a redshirt freshman.

Nothing official yet, but smoke in this direction

Good for him.

I love that guy

- His buyout is $14 million before January 31, 2023.
- Drops to $10 million before Jan 31, 2024
- After that it is $7mil, $3mil, $2mil, $1mil (2025, 2026,2027,2028) respectively.
- If Oregon terms him they will owe 70% of remaining guaranteed salary. Required to seek comparable employment and mitigate in that circumstance.
- Contract starts at $4.6 million and increases by $100K in each year of the contract with $5.1 million in final year of 6 year deal
- Bad news? His agent is Jimmy Sexton, so be prepared for regular rumors.
