Thought I would put tomorrow's recruiting notes up now. Would be literally impossible to give you an update on all 60+ recruits in town. Hoping we can get some interviews done over the next few days as well.

WEEKEND RECRUITING NOTES:

- Luke Moga started the weekend off with a bang for Oregon with a surprise commitment. The students and fans took notice of his presence at the game Saturday and it just reinforced why he loved Oregon and what it means to him. Moga is a west coast athlete – he knows that teams do not get 45,000 fans out for a Spring Game; except in Eugene. He was floored by the atmosphere and the attention from fans and students only reinforced his decision.

- I still think it is going to be tough to get Michael Van Buren and Moga in the same class, but don’t sleep on the concept. I know for sure Oregon wants to sign two QBs in this class and those are their two top targets right now. One coach to pay attention to in all of this is analyst Jordan Salkin. He spends his time with quarterbacks and has been instrumental in recruiting efforts on campus. Salkin has really been able to make a connection with 2025 QB Akili Smith Jr. and he is also making Van Buren a priority.

- Of all the recruits on campus, the one I think is most likely to commit is Kamar Mothudi. It is no secret that he really loves the coaches and the campus. He had a fantastic visit once again and really seems like most likely at this point.

- The more time goes by, the more I also feel like Brayden Platt will pick Oregon. I know there are some other schools pushing, but the Ducks seem to be a team that stands out for Platt and I think that proximity works in their favor here.

- There were a bunch of elite players in town. David Stone, Dylan Stewart, Justin Williams, Brandon Baker, and Jordan Ross were just some of those elite players. Of that group, I like Oregon’s chances with Baker and Williams. I know that elite programs are going to try and make a late push for both, but I still feel like Oregon is the spot for both.

- While Stone loved his time in Eugene, I think the player who really had his eyes opened was TJ Lindsey the 6-3, 291-pound defensive lineman from Arkansas. I know a lot of people feel like he is a Texas A&M lean, but if Williams and a few others keep working peer recruiting, he is someone I could see picking Oregon.

- Jordan Anderson is going to be the best peer recruiter in this class for Oregon.

- There was a silent commit over the weekend, but no one will tell me who it was – only that it happened. From what I was told this is from an elite player that is going to help Oregon recruit other elite players. At this point, yes, there is a silent commitment. No, I do not know who it is.

- Final note, 2025 wide receiver Jaime Ffrench was in town for the Elite 11 Regional camp and word is he was dominant during drills as a receiver. This visit was a surprise, but he does have a legitimate interest in Oregon. Seeing wide receivers like Troy Franklin, Traeshon Holden, Kris Hutson, and Tez Johnson all get big plays is something that resonated with him and his relationship with Junior Adams is strong.

All for now!

Looks like Oregon, Oregon State and Boise State look best:

Curtis has worked miracles in recruiting and talent development.

After another great visit:

Right here:

What do you know about Michelle Williams? Does she have connection to the University of Oregon? If you tap on her photo you will notice that she does appear to be a Duck track fan… but isn’t everybody?

I realize that this story has been posted but I just wanted to follow up with the articles from the Santa Cruz Newspaper as well as the obituary from the San Jose Mercury.

I feel a profound since of loss that our small town has lost a special link to the Oregon Ducks. He didn’t just live in Santa Cruz County, he lived in the small community south of Santa Cruz in which I reside. I have a photo of Bob and I flashing the O in our local Starbucks that we both frequented. I wish that I could have known him better.

Endyia Rogers has elected to enter the WNBA draft! Now we know and let's see if anybody else leaves and how Graves fills out the roster via the portal. They are in desperate need of a taller wing who can shoot as well as everybody else working and improving their games!!

All of you.

I was gonna name some names bit I'm sure I would've left people out.

Thanks to:

The mods.

The track guys. I love T&F.

The guys who have picked up the slack since the transition...you know who u are.

The guys who keep us updated on WSB..BB...VB..ie...the non revenue sports that we still love.

The independent reporting we are starting to get again, from Rivals.

The "take it to the bank" behind the scenes info we get when our connected brethren (sisteren...is that a word?) Feel like they can share with us.

The fact that many of you have inside info that the rest of us would love to hear.....but you never share it until, if ever, it's ok. Very classy and thank you.

The members who don't flame me when I say something stupid!!!

Appreciate Y'all!!!

Picked before Noah.

And he isn’t the only LB who has been picked.

I mean a tsunami of Quacks!
Great day for recruiting

Softball wins (I think 12 in a row) baseball is crushing ASU in the ninth
A bit of Duck history just occurred in the baseball game. It involves a defensive substitute. Boetcher who played earlier in the spring game was in right field-two sports two games one day
