Can someone give a update on Canton, and his progress. Such high expectations coming in, I'm hoping after a year in the program he has matured and gained valuable experience as a freshman. I would think he could be a difference maker, but haven't heard much about him. I hope he exceeds the high expectations placed on him as a recruit.

Riddle me this:

According to conventional wisdom on this board, we are waiting for some "mystery" QB to switch his allegiance and de-commit from one school and then commit to the Ducks.

So what is holding up this other, mystery, kid? Get it done son.

Meanwhile, we had a kid from Hawaii in Portland this last weekend, who may well want to be a Duck and his only claims to fame are that:

1. He's good enough for Alabama and USC among others
2. He was apparently the best QB at the Opening last weekend.

Now, I get that I am not a talent evaluator and that the coaches are, but, to my simple mind......well...I still don't get it.

Oregon has to hope they can blow him away, because he is going to be one heck of a 'backer

For some reason I can no longer access the "ticker" from the homepage. I use my phone btw, but I've never had an issue going there before. It's just no longer an option. Is anyone else having this problem? The ticker was great because it would have info about Duck recruits that sometimes the site wouldn't catch. Am I the only one? Mods?

Another one from my awkward interview sessions (Shout out to DF4L), this one is worth watching as the parents often let on a little bit more than the kids will.

Caught up with KJ a couple days later, and he shared some thoughts. A slightly interesting mention of Charles Nelson too:

Here is our look at the impact of Demetrius Douglas' pick of the Ducks. We were going to hold it until tomorrow, but we have more coming up tomorrow, so wanted to get this to everyone today!

Recruiting Impact: Demetrius Douglas commitment

You may have missed it but former Duck Ryon Healy made his debut with the Oakland A's yesterday. He went 0-4 but asserted himself nicely today going 2-3 with his first Major League home run. First non-pitcher Duck to make it to the pros (I believe) since the program was reinstated.

and this one isn't in track and field...close though

Claire Michele class of 2011 will represent Belgium in the triathlon. Claire graduated from Clackamas HS.

And upset.

We have all heard that there is a lot of love for Stanford and Washington, but do not be surprised if the Ducks get picked fourth - IN THE NORTH. Some people feel that WSU might be listed above the Ducks in the media poll as well.

thought I would try to start something to talk about and especially would like to hear from subscribers whom do not post that much... Do you think Mark Helfrich can lead this Incomming team to a successful season; what is a successful season to you. I remember when he took over Chips Maserati and it was questionable if he could handle it. Well Chips influence has been gone awhile, MH is no longer a newbie head coach so, where is the confidence level on this board, especially after the last bowl game debacle ?

There are 17. Obviously, Zoe Buckman andCarlos Trujillo had not, as yet, made their country's Olympic team. So, those two are not in this video.

I just want to thank everybody who joined in the long ride of this unforgetable track season. It included two indoor team titles. Two Pac 12 team titles and a thrilling NCAA Championships at Hayward Field. Then we were treated to having the US Olympic Trials at Hayward in which 11 Ducks made the US Olympic Track and Field team.

Now we have one more meet to go before this year's track and field story comes to its climax. They don't get any bigger than the next one!

Congratulations to the 17 Olympians! Go preform your best before the entire world and
and never forget that the University of Oregon is proud as Hell of its track and field athletes!

Nothing new really, but I'd think Prukop has the edge. Coaches have to be fair, of course, but if Jonsen doesn't start, he still has a possible 3 years behind the center, right?

They are doing one of these for each Duck opp. I guess sooner of later they will beat Oregon, but my thinking is later.

Shouldn't it be pinned here too? Or can it exist in 2 places at one time?
