You have to be apart of such a poorly run website/network. You deserve better than the servers that are Rivals. Miserably operated and fail every year on NSD. Can't believe they don't have it fixed by now, pathetic.

We will add to the LOI list as they come into the Cas Center.

Tristan Wallace
Keith Simms
Brady Breeze
Bryson Young
Logan Bathke
Sam Poutasi
Lamar Winston
Wayne Kirby

Folks I've made an .mp3 file of the Helfrich LOI presser for your listening pleasure. It is downloadable so you can take it with you on any device and listen at your leisure. It is long, about 45 minutes in total but some pretty good stuff from coach.

Listen in: Helfrich assesses Class of 2016

This is ridiculous. Miller showing his true colors in a loss, I guess.The Ducks came out slow, but played great the rest of the game. Miller is a bit off base here, and lost to the better team. This is the best Ducks team I can recall since I moved out here in 84, and I'm fired up for these guys!

Walton's questions of Brooks are just plain stupid, "bigger stronger, more athletic,"....BS."You don't have size, speed or strength." BS "Baby Ducks" Get real Bill. These guys are getting better every game.

Good story here from Columbus, Ohio about flipping and commitments.

Its crazy out there these days.

Arkansas flipped a guy today and then had one flipped on them.

Even Alabama and Michigan are getting hit...not just the Ducks.

Un-Official Foreign Correspondent/ Non Accredited Cub Reporter will be at the Recruiting Dinner in PDX in about 30 minutes and will bring back super secret info from coaches and Mr. Knight.

Hopefully, said Reporter will be able to remember everything after all of the adult beverages.

( With apologies to AJ and staff!)

UO is not in the excuse biz, but seeing's how Oregon has to recruit from afar, we get a bunch of brave kids who love it on the early visit....then as time nears, close to home sounds better to the kid and family. Were almost always NOT the last place the out of state kids visit. Val was an absolute home run for Coach Cam, given Oregon has 3 or so of the best RB's in the confr., but given the depth chart I was surprised he picked Oregon, in the first place. That's how good a recruiter he is. UNC was 24th and could be facing "the death penalty" from the NCAA. Too bad Harney County don't kick out more recruits!

So ends another football recruiting cycle.

Brandon, Scott and AJ you did a great job!

Thanks to the many great fans that contributed with their posts!

Go Ducks!

I am as disappointed as anyone about losing top guys in the 11th hour.So how do you handle being pissed off without crossing the line in wishing horrible things for a 17 year old?

I hope Malepeai stay healthy, gets a great education, and makes a lot of money in the NFL. As for his college career, I hope as a team they lose 8 or 9 games a year. I hope he ends up very disappointed and when he walks off the field against Oregon after a loss. I hope that he is unhappy in his decision and regrets the decision. I hope that if some kid from the islands asks him 5 years from now, if he made the right choice, he will say no. He will say that he could have won National championships at Oregon

In other words , have a good life, but I will take particular joy in seeing you fail on the football field at the college level. Having Malepeai fumble to cost the game against the Ducks in the Pac 12 championship would be perfect! To me, this is fair and reasonable without being a complete ass. A partial ass, yes, but not complete.

And now on to the guys who want to be Ducks. To me, Kirby for Malepeai is a good trade. If the Ducks were going to lose anyone, the position of running back, along with receiver, are the last positions I worry about. Not having a running back in this class will help Oregon a great deal in getting a couple of great prospects in 2017

Guessing that will be the end of the festivities, and I would be extremely surprised to see Kelly pick Oregon. Fortunately, Kirby joined the flock, because if not for him, it would be hard to see the positives today re: the end of this cycle.

How many 3-4 star players would you trade for a QB who has the potential he has? IDK, as I am no talent expert, but it seems to me were still sitting pretty good if he pans out, and it seems the chances are good that he will.

Elgin Cook would defer shot at NBA to play one year of football for Oregon. He would be a great LB/Drop End or Tight End.

.......now that VM is gone? One?

So,,,it sounds like we have two schollies left.

We gonna use the m..right?

Murphy to SC article

For those of you keeping track of today here is DSA's commitment itinerary with expected announcement times. Remember to stay patient as these are start times for their schools' assemblies, etc. But to give you an idea of how today lays out:


Connor Murphy 8:30 am Update: Committed to USC

Vai Malepeai 8:30 am Update: Committed to USC

Calvin Bundage 12:30 pm

Wayne Kirby 6:15 am Update: Committed to Oregon

Mark Helfrich NLOI press conference 2:00 pm

Caleb Kelly 5:30 pm

Ducks enter today at #22 in the national recruiting rankings.

6:50 am Update: Ducks jump to #19 with addition of Kirby.
9:00 am update. Ducks collapse down to #26 with Malepeai taken off the commit list.

Let's see how they finish...

So what did USC have that Oregon didn't? He looks like the only RB on this year's list of recruits and with hi leaving dropped us out of the top 25. I understand kids change their minds all the time, but why would you jump from Oregon to SC when we have RB's that are always tops in the nation? Guess another kid fell for the fame and glory pitch, best of luck to the young man.

Duck pals, remember two things today:

1. Recruiting is huge
2. USC/UCLA have signed over 300 players since ’09 who’ve gone 1-9 vs Oregon
