I have, wait for it, subscribed to a free subscription to Canzano's site.

Never in a million years would I have thought I would do that.

However, with all this realignment stuff going on, I have, as a CFB Junkie, read just about everything that I could get my hands on.

I came across Canzano's site and I have to tell you...it is way better than when he was at the O.

I suspect that is because he can now be more of a reporter too, can post multiple times a day if he wishes and doe not have to sell papers (yes, he still needs to sell subscriptions but at least he seems to be his own boss.)

Anyway, I don't even know the guy but I really like his stuff so far.

He and Wilner seem to have more "inside and accurate info" than the rest of the soothsayers.

That's ironic, because they are probably the two most... shall we say...controversial columnists on the West Coast.

Do as you will, but I think it is worth a look.

Since I'm not a Canzano shill I won't post his site address but you can find it in 10 seconds if you google it.

I DON'T KNOW HOW TO INSERT TWEETS SO I COPIED THIS:

FROM COACH LOCKLYN:

"More Rain coming I guess I will start watching my favorite show today."

UO Landed 17 high school LOIs last cycle and 11 HS commits so far for 2023 recruits. The total of 28 come from the following states:

4 California
4 Oregon
3 Washington
3 Texas
3 Nevada
3 Utah
2 Arizona
1 D.C.
1 Hawaii
1 Michigan
1 Mississippi
1 Nebraska
1 Tennessee

The 4 California recruits come from San Diego (Tucker, Florence), San Jose (Dickey) and Chatsworth(Wooten). Only Wooten comes from a suburb of Los Angeles. Of the remaining top uncommitted 2023 recruits in California, the only one UO has a good chance to get is Matayo Uiagaleilei, although we appear to be behind both USC and Ohio State. Meanwhile, UCLA and USC to a lesser extent are losing ground to some BIG-10, SEC and ACC schools in recruiting the Southern California market. IMO, California is still an important recruiting ground for UO. Under Lanning and his staff, however, it isn't a make or break area for UO landing a highly rated class going forward.

I put together a cool chart here to show Oregon's highest-rated commits, and Rivals national recruiting director Adam Gorney gives his perspective:

Another good read here!

Matt put together a 10-min package of Dante Moore’s 7v7 and Elite 11 clips we’ve collected over the last month.

Right here. Kenny Dillingham was huge in this recruitment:

There is a date and it is coming up in a hurry. Five-star quarterback Dante Moore has set an announcement date of July 8 (Friday) when he will make his commitment public. The announcement will come on live TV at 9 a.m. PT and will be televised by ESPN. Moore has been adamant that he will not cut his list before making his commitment, but Oregon remains heavily in contention with the Detroit-King HS star.

First up: Apologies, it is long. I expect that there will be plenty to talk about, but I expanded my thoughts on a couple of things.

Second: Due to the timing of Dante Moore's commitment schedule tomorrow, the normal 8:00am time slot seemed a bad spot, so I have moved it to the afternoon (noon to be exact).

Have a great Friday morning!

Here is today's article with a couple of thoughts on the continuing chaos, plus some nice quotes about Teitum Tuioti from his former HS Coach.

Richard Young, the No. 2 RB in the class, puts Oregon in his top 3 along with Alabama and Georgia.

Four-star edge rusher Matayo Uiagalelei took three official visits in June with trips to Oregon, USC and Ohio State. He has yet to schedule any other official visits but he is likely to take one to Alabama during the season. He was on campus for Oregon's big recruiting weekend in June, and that experience was a positive one for the California-based recruit. He really seems to have enjoyed his time on campus since his parents were on the trip with him. He also really valued being able to spend time around the current team quite a bit. He says he likely won't make a decision until later in the process, but Oregon has done a good job of building a strong connection with him through Tosh Lupoi.

“I’ve already been there twice, but being there with my mom and dad that was pretty cool. Then just the time I spent with the players and coaches. It’s not really that flashy, but that was probably the most valuable thing. Spending time with the players and spending time with the coaches and the other recruits.”

You can read the full update at the link up top.

Back at the end of January, I posted about two of my dear friends who died in a plane crash at the Salem, OR airport.

They were flying a Beechcraft Bonanza V Tail.

So sad.

Yesterday, I read about a small plane crash with a fatality at the Pearson Airpark in Vancouver, WA.

Turns out it was my good friend Tom Posey.

Tom was flying a F'ing Beechcraft Bonanza V Tail.

Tom was CEO and President of Lamiglas Fishing Rods.

A family man with a wife and kids.

Tom and I met each other at UO a long time ago and bonded. Tom was a rebel, but smart as a whip.

I won't bother you with old college adventures..suffice to say that some parts were worthy of inclusion in a movie.

Tom, moved to Seattle years ago and lived in a neighborhood that was hard-core Husky. And if you knew Tom...he more than held his own at the neighborhood functions.

Always a Duck.

Thanks in advance for condolences, etc. But, mostly, I just wanted to send a little DSA Tribute to a hard-core Duck whom you would have loved.

Thanks,

Corey

The smoke is rising.

Jurrion Dickey was exceptional at the OT7 event in Las Vegas:

And how they're recruiting so far:

I really don't like us putting all our eggs in one basket. What if Moore decides to go elsewhere? What is Oregon's fallback QB plan then?

Certainly no surprise here.
