From the wealthist school in the Pac Lets hope this is as far as it goes.

Maybe three of the most difficult names for non-Islanders to pronounce and spell, but seem like three linemen with big seasons ahead. 3 star DL's have been the mainstay at Oregon with some notable exceptions. Seemed like defensive play after play one or all of them were involved. I'm doing this so I can at least in my mind recall at least their first names and cheer for them with the enthusiasm they deserve! Build that wall!

This is very interesting and good IMO:

HAMPTON — Hampton University’s Ben Stanley, who finished ninth nationally in scoring last season as a sophomore, has entered the NCAA transfer portal. 6-foot-6 forward from Baltimore, collected eight double-doubles and had a 40-point, 11-rebound game against Howard.

Stanley was a first-team All-Big South Conference pick after averaging 22 points and 7.2 rebounds per game last season.

Take a look at the picture from a game in 1918...Spanish Flu.

I've lined up a bunch of interviews for you guys. Today I spoke with Jenn Powers. She will not be playing football here, but she did give birth to who will likely be three or four year starting center Jackson Light. Great insights about being an Oregon football recruit mom but also what attracted them to Eugene.

Fun new feature I'm introducing with this edition of DSA Zoom. Matavao and I comment on his junior film while watching it together.

That and much more.

Ty Thompson and Isaiah Brevard earn some solid mentions in this edition of Mike Farrell's Three Point Stance.

For those who are still interested, more information is coming from autopsies on people who have died of the virus. It is such info that will lead to a treatment regimen which will be important now and if a future immunization fails.

Things are changing all the time but I'm hearing this is shaping up to be an Oregon/USC battle right now:

Saw this. Said today tomorrow's the day. The limited film I saw on him made me think he's gonna be good. Noon, I think, or more accurately, "3 pm eastern," which is maybe a hint? Had some earlier threads on him fir his profile--he just qualified to graduate a year early.

From last Monday

The next step for

Alex Tchikou
is a college decision, but it is unfortunate that he will likely make a decision before getting to first visit the program in person.


Eric Bossi broke the news on Monday that Tchikou would be reclassifying into the 2020 class. For Tchikou, though, since on-campus recruiting has been suspended until Aug. 31, he will have to rely on Zoom calls, virtual visits and pre-existing relationships to make the best college decision.

I can't give any details because you know I will not steal a prospects thunder, but my understanding is the class is about to improve. The timetable is not set in stone but it is not too long from now. I wouldn't stay up tonight... but you know... don't sleep all weekend.

By/with Andrew Nemec. I didn't listed to it, but everyone agrees he's a rising star. Maybe even 5?
