Rumor going around reddit, which is actually pretty keen to inside sources.

If this is true then this program is lost under Mark Helfrich.

Thanks for all your research and also for bringing to light some names I certainly had not thought of. Appreciate all your hard work on this.

If only we could be flies on the wall in Helf's office at the HDC .

Oregon commit Eric Briscoe Jr. tells me the demotion of Don Pellum has no effect on his recruitment.

"Nothing changes," Briscoe said. "I'm 100 percent."

story just broke- he is leaving UCLA to take OC job at Texas A &M. Interesting

calling any and all who have coached on the offensive side:

Assistant Football Coach

Just caught up with four-star cornerback Jared Mayden at the Semper Fidelis All-American Bowl and he tells me he's set to take an official visit to Florida State the weekend of Jan. 15.

Mayden says he's still committed to Oregon and just lining up some options, but it's certainly something to keep an eye on heading into National Signing Day.

A visit to LSU is also possible, he said. He visited Georgia and Michigan during the season before re-affirming his pledge to the Ducks in early October.

There is several clues about who's stepping up there game here....are the DUCKS going to fly or flop with their hire?

Clancy Pendergast---USC??
Kirby Smart---Georgia
Jeremy Pruitt---Alabama
Don Brown---Michigan
Dave Aranda---LSU
Todd Orlando---Houston
Manny Diaz---Miami
Alex Grinch---Washington State
Kevin Clune---Oregon State


****Will add more high quality DC's that have moved in the last year or this year to improve teams...feel free to add to the list!

**Here is a list of VERY good DC's that may be available under the right circumstances:

Nick Holt---WKU
Mike Phair---Illinois
Randy Shannon--Florida
Tyson Summers---Colorado State
Todd Grantham---Louisville
Bud Foster---VA Tech
Lorenzo Ward---South Carolina(former)

Posters on eDuck and 247 are saying Brady Hoke is currently interviewing for the job, what is everyones thoughts on this?

I say this one is a head scratcher as he has zero defensive coaching experience.

I caught up with Oregon's next RB for an exclusive one-on-one. He had an in-home visit from USC so had to find out if he was still solid.

Malepaei from the Army All-American game

Canzano article on Oregon Live reports Anderson has hired Kevin Clune as DC and Corey Hall as new LB coach.

Clune was a former assistant to Anderson at Utah and Utah St.

The article is a good read that speaks to the 3-4 the Beavs ran and what was wrong with it (lack of talent).

Please no Canzano bashing, since it ruins the info only purpose of the thread and highjacks into the usual bleating.

Defense...Defo, Bald and Coleman?

Offense...VA, Addison, Johnstone? Any others...too many? Is Marshall ok to go? I'd be shocked if he don't get an invite, if he's healthy.

Here is my one-on-one with the Centennial WR who will be announcing on Saturday.

McKinley down to three, set to announce

Good Luck Bralon!

Is that something we can argue about now, lol? Like a freekin' Greek Tragedy how it played out for him this year, but the Dude is out Hero. As great a guy as Marcus! IF not different in personality, similar in character and as fun to watch. A winner!

On my way back to Eugene although I may not make it there today. Because I'm going through San Francisco. But it has been great being here in San Antonio covering Alamo Bowl and the Army All American practices. 3 more great interviews coming out from The All American game.

Nothing is changing for four-star athlete Lamar Winston following the demotion of Don Pellum.

"Although him getting demoted is indeed unfortunate, I will remain true to my commitment," Winston said. "Either coaching position is great for him, and he has produced great linebackers before, so I have no worries with him being my coach. I am actually very excited, more one-on-one time with a man who's been around the game for so long and has developed so many athletes is exactly what I've been looking for. He is a great mentor and I've already built a great relationship with him, so having him as my position coach makes things even better."

Seems like he was involved in quite a few recruits.

Spoke with Kelly today here in San Antonio. Nice kid. I really like the Duck chances but I wouldn't put them above 50%. More like 41.334%. But the competition is tough.

His final three are Oregon, Oklahoma and Notre Dame. He won't be announcing until close to NLOI day but he said it might be a week or two earlier if he comes to a decision.

Overall of the two guys I interviewed today I like the chances with Kelly a little more than McKinley. Will have the stories on him up tomorrow.

Full interview out later today. For now here is a teaser promo.

McKinley interview promo

I met with McKinley today at the Army practice. He told me Washington, Oregon and Notre Dame are his top three. He will be announcing at the AA game Saturday.

My initial impression after the interview was that the Ducks were going to come in third of the group. That could be hogwash however. Sometimes they purposefully downplay who they are picking to throw the dogs off the scent.

I'll have a story and video up in the morning so you can judge for yourself.

With some big time teams dragging their butts back home as losers, some of the recruits have to be thinking I can really help that team and get a starting position in my first game as a freshman.
