Sad news that former Duck walk-on TE (2003-2005), Eric Brosterhous, passed away from cancer yesterday. He was only 33 years old. The former Mazama HS (Klamath Falls) athlete didn't see the field much, but he was a diehard Duck who got to live out his dream by walking on for a few years.

I was not a close friend, but did get to know him a little bit when he played on my softball team about 7 years ago. He was a good dude. My condolences to his wife and family.

Next up in the Transfer Fever series: Tim Hough.

Linky

The final push begins this morning at 9:00 Pacific. The first game is huge in the quest to be National Champs so here’s to a great day against ASU. We are a better team, let’s prove it!!!!
Good luck ladies!!!

Here we are, almost Summer, and it's finally worth taping an NBA game, lol. I saw the GSW''s have 2 fwd's injured, so hopefully he gets some PT.

Who will be a breakout player on defense this season? Several good candidates but one consensus pick.

Roundtable: Defensive breakout player

Interesting stuff from the newly offered 4-star WR.

Josh Delgado update

Flotrack is not predicting a great final curtain act for the home team at the last track meet in the old Hayward Stadium,
They don’t even have the men in their top 25.
They predict the Duck women to finish in 7th place, with Stanford in 5th and USC in 3rd.

Well, we will soon find out. I am considerably more optimistic.

Next up in the DSA Roundtable. Two guys stood out, one of them got two "votes" in the roundtable.

This is a big offer. Is it too late? Had a brief conversation with Josh about the offer and some of my own thoughts thrown in:

Seems like there should be some uniformity here. He should be required to leave the SEC and come to UO, lol.

The Rimington Trophy Committee has released its 2018 Spring Watch List, which includes the following centers in Division I football. In order to create this list, the committee accepted nominations from programs across the country that submitted their current starting centers for consideration. This preseason, centers were nominated from every conference, with 57 total nominees and 27 past watch listers. The Pac-12 leads the list with 10 nominations followed by the ACC with eight.

Las Vegas odds makers and various websites have placed the over/under for Oregon's season at 7.5 wins.

The over seems like easy money, but that's the trap of gambling, isn't it?

The three nonconference games are virtual locks, and OSewe doesn't have the depth to be playing competitive football by November.

But in between, there's a lot that could go either way. Showdowns in a very tough PAC-12 North. A league interspersed with new coaches. Star players scattered throughout the league with the potential to go off on anyone.

How optimistic are you with 100 days to go until Duck football? What has to happen for Oregon to reach for 9/10/11 wins in Mario Cristobal's first year?

I bet everyone would be satisfied with this 5* PG. Saw him mentioned on the home page "Hampton EYBL" article--some early Oregon interest. Maybe they don't get someone of this caliber til' Pritchard is gone in the 2020 class, but it looks like he's got Oregon on his early radar...

The Duck recruiting class is currently ranked No. 12 in the country with nine commitments. What will their final ranking be?

What's the most glaring need for the Ducks in the rest of the 2019 recruiting class? And who are the two or three players they most need to close with? And if you were Uncle Phil or his hypothetical equal, who is the biggest "reach" you'd like to flip for UO? Kayvon Thibodeaux? Chris Steele?

Does it bother you that Oregon is no longer a factor for Michael Johnson Jr.? Was it too soon to give up on such a talented prospect, or it just a realistic assessment of the recruiting numbers game?

99 days until Duck football and in-season official visits.
