The new rule allows schools to pay for 2 guardians to accompany recruits on official visits. This could help the Ducks especially since getting to Eugene is tougher and more expensive than some other schools.

P.S. AJ or Brandon can you move this to the Casanova Center - posted in wrong forum

Interesting move by the new GM for Tennessee. He has so many picks to work with he can easily get back into the top 10 if he wants. Sounds like he does want:

Jon Robinson isn't done putting his stamp all over this upcoming NFL Draft. Not by a long shot.

The rookie general manager already executed one blockbuster trade in an effort to replenish the tattered roster he inherited in Tennessee, receiving a bounty of selections to swap the first-overall pick to the Rams last week, and he's far from done.

According to numerous NFL executives who have spoken to him, the general manager is now exhausting possibilities to move back into the top 10 from the 15th pick, and just as many of them fully expected him to deal the first-overall pick. Now rival execs who know him well are just as confident this team is not done trading.

I caught up with Coach Yost to see where he is at with evaluating the QB group.

Has there been mention of him fro any interview or Mosely practice report this spring. With the Ducks losing 3 SR TE's this year, his development is crucial. He is the only scholly TE on the roster until the freshman come I'm this fall. McCormick and Wallace (athlete) brings the stable to three on the roster come next spring. That's young t that position in a year from now.

The Duck WR offeree was in Colorado last weekend and our CU site caught up with him. He does go over all of his five top teams including Oregon.

Hodgins recruiting update

Current DSA odds on Hodgins: 17.516%

Would be a surprise if they actually kept their names in the draft. Not sure how I feel about this declaring but not hiring an agent to gauge interest. I guess it is a good thing.

I caught up with Trajon now that he's back home in Sacramento. He says he had a great time. Sounds like Oregon is definitely going to be a finalist for his services. Coach Neal has been his primary recruiter.

My favorite quote from our chat: "I liked everything about the visit."

Wow.. Not sure if Wash's Keith Smith, and ORegon Com., played.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — The Titans were involved in a blockbuster trade on Thursday morning, and the reaction inside Saint Thomas Sports Park resembled what happens inside a victorious locker room.

“We were high-fiving,'' Titans coach Mike Mularkey said with a smile. "We were fist-bumping, no doubt. The coaches, I can tell you they were really jacked up.”

Not long after the Titans traded the No.1 pick of the draft to the Los Angeles Rams for a boatload of pick, Mularkey also heard from his quarterback, Marcus Mariota.

“It wasn’t even 30 minutes after it went down he reached out to me,’’ Mularkey said of Mariota. “He is excited about what we are doing. He was like, “Great job with the trade. He's pumped.”

Here is what Farrell and Gorney think will happen on draft day now.

Mock Draft v4.0

They will be making a lot of picks this draft now.

The Tennessee Titans have agreed to trade the top overall pick in this month's NFL draft to the Los Angeles Rams.

The Titans announced the deal Thursday morning.

Tennessee swaps the No. 1 pick to the Rams along with its picks in the fourth and sixth round to Los Angeles. The Rams will give the Titans their first-round pick at No. 15 along with two second-round selections and their third round pick in the draft starting April 28. The Titans also will receive the Rams' first- and third-round round picks in the 2017 draft.

Tennessee now has six of this draft's first 76 picks.

General manager Jon Robinson says he tried to use the pick as currency to build a team that went 5-27 the past two seasons.

From the practice write up from the 13th, it sounds like a two way competition between him and Prukop. I'd assume Prukop will start, but a good sign Travis is healthy and "getting it." Anyone hearing anything?

I caught up with Travis after practice today and got his thoughts on how the QB competition is shaping up.

Won the 200m in 20.68!
I'm wondering if he will run the event for the team in the NCAA Championships.

This interview is following the 4x100 relay victory at the Mt. Sac. Washington and Cunliffe are 5'10", Stevens 5'9" and Todd 5'5". They set a new UO 4x1 record. Third fastest time in NCAA history. If they can stay healthy, they will run their way into the NCAA Track Hall of Fame.

A Duck alumnus and a total class act. Devon Allen's former training partner who took second in last year's NCAA 110 hurdles.

He'll compete at the Canadian Olympic Trials. Wouldn't it be great to see Cabral and Allen both make it to the finals...maybe not likely, but still possible. Like Devon he suffered a terrible knee injury and fought his way back.

A high school senior that will be going to UO next year won the 1500 tonight at the Oregon relays in a time og 4:17.52. The heat had college and pro runners. This is just exceptional for a high school runner. It is a time that would put her in contention for a national collegiate championship most years.

Had an amazing game Saturday for the Oregon all-stars against Washington all-stars. Oregon trailed by 20 points at halftime but rallied in the second to win 115-110. Payton had 43 points, 15 assists, 8 rebounds and 5 steals.

Look at the Duck women sprinters!!! Amazing!!!!

Give another dimension to the phrase "Fast as Duck"

It even has 2017 NBA projected draft, HS players, international. If you look at 2017 you see mostly one and done players, which is good for Oregon. They do rank Boucher and Brooks for 17, but I didn't see Dorsey.
