Small smoke signals are popping up everywhere. Fingers crossed.

What's up, everybody!

I'm growing strong confidence in Oregon flipping Baylor commit Austin Novosad, a four-star quarterback from Dripping Springs (Texas). Looking to be a big early win for offensive coordinator Will Stein in his time in Eugene.

Just wondering... there have been some rumblings that Deion was trying to poach him. Anyone heard anything about him?

Cam McCormick has been granted a...wait for it...9TH YEAR OF ELIGIBILITY!

Sorry if this has been posted already.

What is the math on how many we take for class of 23, portal and total schollies?

Any update on the likelihood of a flip to Oregon?

I realize tomorrow is early signing day and the portal is rockin a rollin but is there any news on the Holiday Bowl?

So, Adam Gorney put this out there today:

And for what it is worth, here is an excerpt from the Inside Reed this morning:

Interesting place to land. I hope he earns a starting role. Darn good school too.

It's been said on TV many times that when Mario left (has it really only been a year?), he left the cupboard full for the next coach.

The implication is that Mario recruited very well and the new coach would have great players to work with.

Mario was going to bring an SEC-type player to the Ducks: big, strong, hard-assed.

Now that our SEC-trained new coach, Dan Lanning, is in charge, he seems to be systematically getting rid of lots of Mario's players.

So, were Mario's guys just not as good as we thought?

Do they just not fit DL's scheme very well?

Or are they just not hard-assed enough for DL...is he gonna out-SEC Mario?

Do we have anybody else coming this way?

What's up, everybody!

Oregon was in-home with Dripping Springs (Texas) four-star quarterback Austin Novosad last week with offensive coordinator Will Stein and the Ducks are pushing hard down the stretch for the Baylor commit with 48 hours to go until Signing Day. As for the chances here, I think Oregon is definitely in it, but it's gonna be a hard-fought battle. For some context, Novosad stuck with his Baylor pledge over the summer after taking visits to Notre Dame, Ohio State and Texas A&M. I see this opportunity being a little different for Novosad though considering his long-standing relationship with Stein.

We'll have more as we get it confirmed.

Just to round it out, I wonder if they get Cardwell?.

Playing undefeated and 17th rated Arkansas down in San Diego.

It looks like PK isn't going to throw tens of millions at HS players. I don't blame him if it's so. He is doing plenty for UO, especially in sports, and we cannot expect him to be our salvation for every 5 star hold out just before signing day. Much better ways to "donate" his money. Time to coach em up. Lanning came in as a last minute hire, put together a great staff. Then his OC bails. It is what it is. Deal with it. We have a great core team and if the class minus it's two highest ranked recruit dont stick, I'll remain optimistic.
