Add TEs to MC (or Dougherty - both have coached TE's) and add DC as the QB Coach and Passing Game Coordinator?

Reaves was making 300k. Without the entire staff contracts being made public yet , I've still got to think the staff pool still has around another 400 - 500k of wiggle room.

Scott has a great post in the 'second domino' thread with details about where we are and what may happen. I thought his info might get buried as we are all looking for more quacks today and I don't know if a quote would show his entire post so I thought I would start a thread focused on the topic.

How many spots do you think will still be open when next weekend comes around and who still might be added (or subtracted) from the visit list?

Per ESPN

As we reported this morning, and as expected, Austin Faoliu commits to Oregon from the Polynesian Bowl in Honolulu, Hawaii

According to Richardson he will be in town next weekend.

The former Clemson commit opened up his recruitment in December and will visit Oregon on January 27. The 5-foot-11, 222-pounder recently visited UCF and has the Knights in contention, as well.

"I want to take all my visits," Richardson said. "I ain’t going to lie to you. I’ve been tired of the recruiting process, but I had to do it.

"Growing up Oregon had been my dream school and I finally got an offer. I want to see how it looks. USF coaches are cool and all the same. It’s a new staff that brings a positive energy."

Richardson is a 5-11, 222 pound running back from Memphis, Tennessee. He was formerly committed to Clemson and recently told Rebel Grove that he was "90% sure" he would be a Rebel, but there is that one sliver. I think this probably puts to bed the Stephen Carr talk. I have never really felt that he was a "silent" commit. Could bringing in Robinson be accompanied by a call to Carr "hey, we really want you, but we need another running back, so we are bringing this kid in for a visit, if you commit before he visits, we will cancel"? Maybe. This staff will take nothing for granted and clearly want another true RB in this class.

hope the injury is not as serious as some have reported

With the commitment of Isaac Slade-Matautia, the Ducks pick up their second commitment of the night from the Polynesian Bowl in Hawaii

From the 2018 class, Detroit Cass Tech four-star CB Kalon Gervin was excited to tell me he has landed his newest offer today from Oregon.

Oregon MBB reporting that Dillon Brooks injury is a sprained left foot. Great to hear that it's not broken but they haven't set any kind of timetable for his return. I'd guess he misses a few weeks. Hopefully not too much longer than that but I wouldnt be surprised.

Here is our official story on the dual commitments from Isaac Slade-Matautia and Austin Faoliu from tonight's action.

Ducks Score Big Time Dual Commitments at Polynesian Bowl

Oregon got a commit, but who??

One nice thing about that? The weather is lousy.

So far its been a game where a 3 and out is a victory, score is 0-0 and there have been 6 turnovers, late first half.

about 35 minutes until tip, AJ, Tom, and I are here covering the action today. Sold out crowd + official visitors in the house. Brooks is watch the warmups in a boot for his sprained ankle. No timetable on his return yet. Ducks will look to set a new school record tonight for consecutive victories.

So, an ASU source has confirmed that one (there may be more than one) surprise visitor is ASU commit, tight end Tyler Johnson. Johnson is a 4 star "athlete" projected as a tight end. He is 6-4, 245 and would be a very good steal. He has been very 'pro ASU' of late, but the nature of the visit shows he might be seeing a significant chance to have an immediate impact at Oregon. Johnson is ranked as the No. 164 overall player in the nation, No. 14 athlete and No. 3 player int eh state of Arizona.

It is one thing to tell you all here, but I am NOT putting this out on Twitter.

With the Poly Bowl set for tonight, there are two Duck targets set to announce during the game.

We expect one for sure and maybe both to choose the Ducks.

Isaac Slade-Matautia. a 6-1, 225 pound four star linebacker has been all Duck for a long time. We expect his announcement to be for the Ducks.

Austin Faoliu, a 6-3, 285 pound defensive tackle once committed to Arizona is known to be down to Oklahoma and Oregon. Despite having only visited Oklahoma, there are increasing signs Faoliu will choose the Ducks. his relationship with new defensive line coach Joe Salave'a is very critical here. He is set to visit the Ducks next weekend and appears he may be a commit before that visit happens.

Whose on the guest list this weekend?

Hearing the Ducks will host seven official visitors and one major unofficial this weekend. I'm putting it together now in article form. I am not going to include the "mystery" visitor until we find out who it is.

For now, here is the breakdown:

3 OV's Florida
2 OV's California
1 OV Virginia

4 of 6 are 2017 undecided
