Sheldon must be considered a favorite. WL vs Sheldon would be cool, but iirc, Sheldon might have stomped them already? Some good players on these teams, including two UO coach's sons at Sheldon.

Class 6A State Championship


(1) West Linn 90% - (8) Sherwood 10%


(5) Central Catholic 50.43% - (4) Jesuit 49.57%


(3) Tualatin 81.55% - (6) Mountainside 18.45%


(2) Sheldon 87.25% - (7) Lake Oswego 12.75%

Gorney just posted this an hour ago, and it must have been written before the Rashada news. A hint that LSU wants A'Mauri Washington. Fend them off!

Oregon has decided to jump into the recruitment of three-star Wisconsin WR commit Trech Kekahuna tonight. Junior Adams offered the 5-foot-10 receiver from Bishop Gorman HS in Las Vegas (by way of Honolulu). He committed to the Badgers back in June, but there have obviously been changes there this fall. So, the Ducks are going to make a run at him. Oregon already holds a commitment from one Bishop Gorman player, Kodi Decambra, and there are continued connections to Hawaii for the staff.

Kekahuna has had a really impressive season so far at Bishop Gorman as he has caught 35 passes for 617 yards and 12 touchdowns.

Dude's gonna be good and has the Ducks as a finalist. Top 25 in most databases, but since his parents are overseas and want to watch him play, he wants to be where it's" Easy for them to access." UO, Furd, UCLA and TX. OF those, I'd guess UCLA, but any of them are gonna be a long haul. Probably just a hat, but you never know.

Oregon going to be very busy:

Riley come home? that is if we don't get Duce.

Kennedy Basham the freshmen center (6'7') hurt her knee in the first game the other day and the hope is to have her back by the league opener. With Prince out with the elbow surgery for the year we are all of a sudden small and not deep. That leaves 9 players until Kennedy get's back. Graves say's he liked the smaller amount of players he has (10) but now you see the bad side of carrying that few. I believe womens basketball is allowed up to 15 players (may be wrong there).
Obviously they cannot afford any more injuries and the lack of depth down low is alarming!

And no paywall!!

Gotta love Marcus.

I just want to state that track is different than football and basketball in that recruiting and signing really goes on all year and through the summer. However, this will be the beginning of the signing period.

We already know about several athletes that made public announcements. However, there are usually surprises, especially from the international athletes and the transfers.

I’m excited. Oregon track is in a transition. It will be evolving and changing. If you find throws boring, then you might not like one of our major power shifts. However, Oregon will continue to get sprinters, and great distance runners.

There is a lot of track talent on the planet. You can find track athletes in every country on every continent. Our NCAA competition will be formidable, snd that’s good. Competition only makes the meets more exciting. Let’s see how the early signing class looks. I have a feeling that they will sign good students who are great athletes. They will represent our university in manner that will make us all proud of them.

What teams are toying with Moore and how does it look?

If San Diego state is added to the Pac, then chances are another university is announced shortly there after.

DJ Johnson good to go.

Steven Jones. Probably available, but don't see him starting

Taki Taimani: same as Steven Jones

Byron Cardwell: he is close enough to 100% to play. Not sure if he will

Jordan James: Good to go

Chase Cota: Questionable

Good afternoon all,

I will be in the Boy Scout Lot this week for tailgate. I am probably not going to bring a ton of food as we have not really used much of it for the games this year and it tends to go to waste at times.

I will have plenty of snacks and drinks, just probably not going to bring full meal type of stuff. I will have the grill, so if someone wants something specific, let me know!

SPACE: 223
Time: Should be in and ready to go around 11am (ish)

No surprises yet today. All three commits have signed and are now becoming official. So far point guard Jackson Shelstad is the only signee announced by the program.

Do we know of any recruits coming Saturday? Recent history would indicate having big time guys in the house for Washington and taking everything in, is a great opportunity to sell the university (KT).

I'm on coverage duty today, going through the interviews now for a full writeup:

Pac-12 bowl projections: Major changes at top as Oregon Ducks become our pick for CFP​

NEW!

By

• Jon Wilner | Bay Area News Group

Another Saturday has come and gone without a shakeup in the Pac-12 race, but this Tuesday brings a major change in the Hotline’s bowl outlook for the conference.

We are projecting Oregon to reach the College Football Playoff and UCLA to fill the vacancy in the Rose Bowl.

Allow us to explain in five easy steps.

Step one: The road ahead.

The results in the SEC and ACC last weekend were game-changers for the Pac-12, and Oregon in particular:


— Notre Dame’s victory over Clemson means the ACC won’t produce an undefeated champion.


— Alabama’s loss to LSU means the Crimson Tide will carry two defeats — likely a playoff death knell — into the final weekend.


— Tennessee’s loss to Georgia means the Volunteers will finish as a one-loss team without a division title.


In other words, three significant obstacles have been cleared from the path of a one-loss Pac-12 champion.


Step two: Internal affairs.


We identified Oregon as the best team in the Pac-12 a month ago, and nothing has forced a reassessment.


If anything, the Ducks have solidified their status as the clear frontrunner.


They are as good offensively, and far better defensively, than both USC and UCLA.


Meanwhile, Utah simply isn’t healthy enough to play at the level required to beat the Ducks, either on Nov. 19 in Eugene or Dec. 2 in Las Vegas.


Step three: One night in Vegas


After watching the Bruins and Trojans week after week, the Hotline has concluded UCLA is the better team and should win the crosstown showdown on Nov. 19. (But it’s close, because both are seriously flawed on defense.)


As a result, we expect the following records at the top of the conference:


Oregon: 9-0


UCLA: 8-1


Utah: 7-2


USC: 7-2


That sets the Ducks and Bruins up for a date in Allegiant Stadium, and there’s no reason to believe the outcome will be any different than what we witnessed in Eugene a few weeks ago.


It might be more competitive than a 15-point margin, but the Ducks will win.


Step four: The CFP shuffle


At that point, Oregon is a 12-1 conference champion and a serious contender for the CFP.


Two spots are locked up: Georgia, as the undefeated SEC winner; and the Ohio State-Michigan winner as the undefeated Big Ten champ.


That leaves two berths for a combination of Oregon, the ACC champ, the Big 12 champ, an SEC non-division winner (Tennessee) and a Big Ten non-division winner (the OSU-Michigan loser).


We like Oregon’s chances in that scenario.


The 49-3 loss to Georgia cannot be unseen, but every other contender for those two CFP slots will have a flawed resume, as well.


(Tennessee’s decisive loss to Georgia was gargantuan for the Ducks in the event of a resume showdown with the Vols.)


And with a series of stretch-run victories over ranked opponents, Oregon will look the part come selection weekend.


Step five: The replacement team


If the Ducks jump into the playoff, the Rose Bowl would replace them with the next-highest-ranked team from the Pac-12 (per the selection committee’s rankings).


That assuredly would be UCLA.


Why? Because the committee rarely punishes championship game losers, so the Bruins would not drop below USC or Utah (teams they beat head-to-head) assuming they are reasonably competitive in Las Vegas.


With the Ducks in the playoff, the Pac-12′s remaining bowl-eligible teams would move up one rung in the pecking order, as reflected in the projections below.


College Football Playoff


Team: Oregon (8-1/6-0)


Home games remaining (two): Washington, Utah



Road games remaining (one): Oregon State


Comment: One point we didn’t mention: Oregon needs Brigham Young (5-5) to pick up the pace and finish with a winning record. The more victories over teams on the high side of .500, the better the resume looks.


Rose Bowl


Team: UCLA (8-1/5-1)


Home (two): Arizona, USC


Road (one): Cal


Comment: Sights you never thought you’d see: UCLA playing the Rose Bowl with every seat filled.


Alamo Bowl


Team: USC (8-1/6-1)


Home (two): Colorado, Notre Dame


Road (one): UCLA


Comment: If the Trojans win the crosstown showdown on Nov. 19, the script flips. Win in Las Vegas, and they would have a great shot at the playoff. Lose, and they would either fill the vacancy in the Rose or become a New Year’s Six at-large entry in the Cotton Bowl.


Holiday Bowl


Team: Utah (7-2/5-1)


Home (one): Stanford


Road (two): Oregon, Colorado


Comment: The Holiday Bowl as a disappointment: My, how the expectations have evolved.


Las Vegas Bowl


Team: Washington (7-2/4-2)


Home (one): Colorado


Road (two): Oregon, WSU


Comment: Why not include UW in any of the aforementioned scenarios? Simple. We think the Huskies will get hammered in Eugene. If they win, we’ll reassess.


Sun Bowl


Team: Oregon State (6-3/3-3)


Home (two): Cal, Oregon


Road (one): ASU


Comment: Each week, a trip to El Paso becomes more likely for the Beavers. What could change that trajectory? Winning out, or the Pac-12 getting shut out of both the CFP and the Cotton Bowl.


LA Bowl


Team: Washington State (5-4/2-4)


Home (two): ASU, Washington


Road (one): Arizona


Comment: The Sun and LA bowls are supposed to select teams based on order-of-finish but could agree to swap participants to ensure WSU and OSU aren’t repeat visitors to their respective sites.
