Today a look at the flurry of offers last week, the continuing topic of character over stars and a look at an emerging trend not just in professional football, but college football as well; early 'retirements' which are affecting the landscape of professional and college football.

Flock Talk: Seismic Shift?

I caught up with Oaks Christian coach Jim Benkert to talk about his perspective on Oregon recruiting and its coaches.

Trail Tale: Oaks Christian

Just wanted to commit on Scott's front page article regarding who we are looking at for Safety in the 2017 class. I'm all in on Chaz Ah You, and I personally believe he does have an offer, as I've read more than one article stating as such. I also believe that we take one safety and I'm hoping it's Chaz!

So today I took a look at the WR group.

This morning a new name popped on to my 'watch' list

Grant Calcaterra is a big receiver from Rancho Santa Margarita. He has some good offers, including Oklahoma. A name to keep an eye on...

Looking Ahead: 2017 WR

Rivals is doing a new feature with the 3 hottest prospects on the recruiting trail, Amir Riep made the top 3 this week. Has a nice mention of him planning on visiting Eugene:

Rivals Most Wanted

I have been wondering where he was. He didn't compete at the Razorback, Kirby, or Husky.
He competed in Portland and clocked a 6.67 60m.
There is a rumor that we will play football for Oregon next year. I don't know how true it is, but he is lightening fast. He is, no doubt, the fastest sprinter on the track team.

Wished you would post a link from the boards as well, regarding articles on the front page. It would save me the time, LOL! Regarding your latest article, I really enjoyed reading it, and wished you could do more of these in the future. I mean the third party opinion of not only our coaching staff, but players as well. Lends a new perspective on the character side of the equation. Anyway, thanks for the info.

Four-star Cincinnati (Ohio) Colerain 2017 CB Amir Riep is reporting a brand new offer from Oregon. This follows the offer yesterday to Michigan OL Phillip Paea, so it looks like the Ducks are doing some work in the Midwest this week.

I credit Mallard Green for this information.
Last year Drake Brennan transferred to Oregon as a 6'7" 220 lbs. thrower. He is now 280 Lbs.
He is from Grants Pass. I believe that he played football at Western Oregon before deciding to transfer to Oregon for track. He's now a pretty big boy!

Lady Ducks are back in action down in Tempe, will play at the new Jane Sanders Stadium for the first time on March 24th.

Take a look at the pattern and magnitude of FB injuries (two graphs). Probably way too many old farts doing something dumb.

So far we've heard I've heard a bunch of great reasons to switch to the 4-3 but what are potential weaknesses it creates over the 3-4 we've used? Let's stick to on the field disadvantages of it as opposed to things like difficulty with recruiting positions or anything like that. Where are he weaknesses of this defense that may not have been there with the 3-4?

I caught up with Amir Riep from Colerain to talk about his new Duck offer.

Riep talks Ducks

Pretty active week for the coaches on the offer front last week. Here is a summary of the five that went out along with a couple observations.

The Week in Offers 2_15_16

I would have to say the LA schools are the faves for Martin Andrus but he did say Oregon's offer last week was big for him.

Andrus talks Oregon offer

Zac Morgan- O-Line from Dayton. Trying to find other details.

Many are disappointed that our #11 ranked basketball team fell back to Earth. Many are disappointed in the way that the football team finished the season, and then finished the recruiting class.

When the chips are down, there is one Oregon program that you can usually count on to lift your school spirit and give some relief to your frustrations. I don't turn to that program as a pacifier, because I'd follow the track program whether or not I needed a pacifier. However, to my fellow Ducks on this board, I feel compelled to help cheer you up.

Our track program looks fabulous. It is still early, but Oregon's women look just awesome. The men look very good, and I think they will be a contender for a national outdoor team title and a Bowerman trophy winner. If these two teams can stay healthy, I predict that they will not disappoint.

So here is the summation link on how they thrilled me this weekend in Alburqueqe and Seattle ..Maybe this will cheer you up....at least a little....the track team has been doing that for Duck fans for decades!
