This one was is a tough call with many worthy Ducks.

WR Week Trio: Best All-Time

6'8" Austin Glynn from Wisconsin signed an NLI during the early signing period without much mention or notice. I rated him three stars. It is time to add a star, because on May 13 he threw the discus 209-9. He is now the 6th ranked high school discus thrower in the country. Austin has been improving rapidly and constantly. I'm beginning to think that Austin might end up being one of Oregon's top commits. He is growing into his enormous frame.

You don't suppose that the Oregon coaches are good at spotting talent, do you? He was lightly recruited and now he is the 6th ranked discus thrower in the nation.

It was a soggy first day. I never get too focused on form charts when I'm at a meet. They always seem easier to follow when I'm watching the meet on an electronic device. Form charts are mainly just a measuring device. It kind of sets a scoring base line from which to add and subtract. Meets don't usually follow form charts, so they are not a great predictor.

Let's all hope for better meet conditions today. I think that the men's 400 showdown between OREGON's Marcus Chambers and USC's Ricky Morgan will be a meet highlight.

The women's 200m has 5 Ducks and 3 Trojans. I think that how that event goes will pretty much define the team scores. I expect a big day for the UO women!

The battle between USC and UO's men should be exciting. Right now I'd put my money on the UO winning their 11th straight men's conference team championship.

Hopefully there will be a good crowd.

Go Ducks!

My story today, the background on Red Raider Biletnikof Semi-Finalist Giles, who has exceptional talent but wound up in Kliff Kingsbury's doghouse.

He's Tweeted a final three of Oregon, LSU and Florida State, visiting Baton Rouge June 1 and Eugene June 11th, with a decision planned for late June.

So much of the time transfer decisions are a he said/he said story, with the defining issue being about playing time.

Giles had 69 catches last year for 1158 yards and 13 touchdowns, 2nd team All-Big 12. But the news out of Lubbock suggests there are some lingering questions about his work ethic and attitude. Demoted to the 2nd team coming out of spring practice.

Would expect the Ducks to land on this list, #31 on the Rivals150 for 2018, SF Taeshon Cherry. He and Norris would gladly play together in college:

Who are the best in the Pac-12 heading into the 2017 season? Great question. There are at least five guys who we think will be drafted in the NFL in 2018. But who are the DSA Top Trio?

WR Week Trio: Pac-12's best

What's really going on with this dude? Can he not qualify? Is that the reason he hasn't publically committed to Oregon?

Starting to doubt this one happens.

Changed his profile pic to the Oregon "O".. hours later he changed it back to himself.

Changed his banner pic to him as an Oregon player.. hours later changed it back to Tennessee NFL draft pic.


Whats really going on?

Just picked up an offer from Oregon TF to go with his Football offer, the allure of doing both might push him this way:

Who's kept up this season? Do we have any shot at making postseason? What's the vibe around the program?

Living down here, we don't get any good info. I know my pops is getting a little annoyed of the direction the program has gone since it was brought back and thinks maybe it's time for Horton to look elsewhere. Understandably with Oregon state being one of the best programs in the nation, it's tough to get out of that shadow.

Hearing that a couple of coaches are checking in with him again today as well as LB Xavier Peters

Top Trio: 2018 WR targets

Reports are that he has a torn labrum and will be out 4-5 months. Supposed to be ready for the start of the season.

Detroit four-star CB Kalon Gervin plans to visit Oregon in July and said the Ducks are one of three schools pushing hard for him since he de-committed from Notre Dame earlier this month. The latest from Gervin in the article below:
