So...

I've tried hard not to knock any of the kids that play college football.

They try their best and I have never talked them down.

However, now that almost every one of them is a pro...I'm starting to rethink that program.

In that light, and still trying to be as nice as possible, can anybody explain to me the love affair with DJ?

I'm sure that he is a great kid, but I cannot see why he is consistently mentioned/ranked among the top portal guys (like in the Top 25 or so).

High school aside, I just cannot see that based on his CFB play.

After all of his time in college, are teams still looking at him based on potential?

School me, please.

four teams teams at 9-2 (with UA's 2OT loss at home, last night) and 3 at 8-3 during non conference games. Some big wins, some unexpected losses. Let's hope the LA schools continue to play the way they have been while visiting Eugene this coming week.

They can throw a bunch of schools together, give it the Pac-12 branding and it still won’t attract a ton of viewers. The spin released by those two schools really shows one thing: their intent all along was to take the earnings of the other schools because they were frustrated at their own unattractiveness.

With the obvious strengths of The Ducks, just what does Lanning use to make the overwhelming favorites play all out n this game?

And Johnson. Sounds like everyone is in Seaton's ear.

Josiah Molden's name comes up, but this kid at Lakeridge is gonna be a beast. Plays RB now, but will probably be two way next couple of years. Check out the offer list (Rivals doesn't have a bio yet).
My nephew played at LR til' last year and told me about him.

Might be out for the season. That really sucks.

Love to see the many hustle plays from this young man tonight.

As of this minute ESPN has us as #3 and CBS Sports #4.

To Dillingham, the second recruiting class in charge and first with a full year leading the Sun Devils was about targeting size in the trenches.

Dillingham said that he told presumed 2024 starter, Jaden Rashada, that he would target a quarterback in the transfer portal.

Trent Bray:
This is more of a program grade. The loss of Smith and two QBs (Chiles, DJ Uiagalelei) were evidence of the Beavers' diminished standing with the Pac-12 collapsing. The football budget is about to plummet. Oregon State is competing in a vacuum as it just completed a scheduling agreement with the Mountain West. Bray must recruit at a power-league level without such designation.

It’s looking like Oregon will finish with a top 10 recruiting class.

Who would have even dreamed UO would dominate west coast DL recruiting? 3 years ago, most of these kids go to Bama, tOSU et al.
Anyway, iirc today is Jericho's day and it's us or the Fuskies.

This is great to hear:

Austin Novosad on Jurrion Dickey's progress: "That kid when he first got here to now is a completely different kid... He's a freak. He's going to be a really good player for us in these next couple years and in this game. We're excited for him."

I'd like to see Pleasant and dicky go at it in practice. there's a bunch more on YT. Lot's of sophs will play next season.

Thanks so much for all your work yesterday. Appreciated you keeping us all up to date on the big day.

Was trying to discretely refresh DSA all day to keep up on things while doing my 'real job'.

Thanks again- it's great to be a DUCK and have the great comradery that we have on this board.

In myriad ways, this is not where Oregon wanted to be at the conclusion of nonconference play; short-handed, coming off a brutal loss and a textbook trap game before a week off for Christmas break.


The Ducks (7-3) have been plagued by injuries all season, and while multiple players are on the mend and nearing returns none of their four injured players are expected back against Kent State tonight (6 p.m., Pac-12 Network) at Matthew Knight Arena.

Jericho Johnson

Gatlin Bair?

Who else might be signing with Oregon today?

Didn't realize Adams recruited most of UW's best WR's. Dayum.
