I weighed in with the national guys on how much Beavers decommit hurt.

Sting factor: Beavers

Apparently Kiko decided to come back to Oregon for another 4 to 5 years as Jackson LaDuke! Ha, all kidding aside I am really looking forward to seeing Jackson develop alongside Flowe and Noah. They get most of the attention but this kid is going to be special as well.

It means that this team is thriving. They continue to improve. Oregon is getting a lot of qualifiers for the NCAA Championships.

Right now there are lots of athletes just outside the top 8 that are a threat to score if they can improve their marks. There are also a lot of athletes inside the top eight that are likely to score at Nationals.


I do not know about the status of sprinters Xavier Narne or Jasmin Reed. Hopefully neither are seriously injured.

The horizontal jumpers are coming on. Let’s see what developes.

The middle distance and distance runners are performing at a high level. This is the strongest area for the men at this point in this season.

There are a ton of positives. I will mention just one subtle positive in freshman 800m runner Luis Peralta. He is only a freshman and he is now ranked 10th in the country. He was a huge recruit based upon his high school junior year. His prestige faded in his senior season. I suspect that he had some injuries. Let’s see if he can step it up at Nationals and finish somewhere in scoring range. I think that today might put everyone on notice that Luis is about to emerge as a star.

Talks Oregon commitment, recent USC visit and more visits coming up:

for those who don’t know: Oregon’s track team split into two groups this week. One group went to Albuquerque to compete at the Don Kirby. The other group is in Seattle at the Husky Classic. Our top distance runners... along with others .... are in Seattle.

At this point, it looks like the distance runners are poised to get Oregon into the chase for the NCAA Championship... but don't hold me to that.

Top two teams in the Pac-12 square off with the Ducks coming off two losses in a row on the road. Should be a heck of a game at 6 on ESPN.

Oregon offered four-star QB Miller Moss from Bishop Alemany yesterday. Coaches must have known we were discussing QB prospects for this cycle.

It's Valentines day, but maybe I can convince my wife to watch it taped. IF the trend continues, it'l be over by half time, although UCLA is 7th.

Just asking, I don't think so.

Women's Softball is ranked at #21.

I find that amazing after the gutting that the team took last year.

Maybe we have a good coach after all.

I personally wish him the best of luck. He will be hard to replace both on the field and recruiting.

Good thing there are lots of veterans in the DB corps as they are better equipped to handle a new coach right away.

Unlucky for him he doesn't have immunity, lol. Actually, this is great news for Nike and even UO, who def. said was involved in a Bol Bol mega bucks pay off. Fishing expedition comes to mind.. Not only did Nike/UO survive the Adidas scandals, they come out looking really good after fighting this one. Maybe he'll get Micheal Cohen as a cell mate, lol.

Sabrina played one of the poorest games she's played as a Duck, in my opinion, yesterday and yet they dominated U Conn. The other 4 starters were dynamite, if Sabrina had a Sabrina game we would have won by 30, this team has the ability to go all the way.

Canzano makes some really good observations here, I think...really, the same ones as always.

Somethings got to change...
