Harb's has a clause in his contract thatboosts the salary pool in year 3. His third year requires the pool be 4.4 million at a minimum and a 5.5 million ceiling. The 2016 salary pool was 4.21 million. Oregon is spending big.......but........https://news.google.com/news/amp?ca...ire-impact-offense-bottom-line/amp#pt0-343338

Hey AJ...is there any way to send a private message to another member?

Thanks,

A question for those of you closer to the program than myself: One thing Chip made Oregon famous for was his unique and innovative approach to practices and weekly game prep. High speed, very scientific (or maybe that was just a Philly), loads of reps, etc. I assume that Helf tried to run practices similar to the way Chip did. Now that we have an entirely new coaching staff, will we lose some of that innovation? Has that kind of stuff become a staple across CFB now similar to the way the No Huddle Spread Offense has? Is some of that innovation kind of 'built in' now with all of our high end training facilities. Just curious! I always loved hearing Gruden and other well known people talking about how fun it was to go watch Oregon practice.

Kind of surprising. I have to think that Kiffin would have been near the top of their list. Harsin may finally get that Power 5 job he's been looking for.

Read it and marvel. If they stay healthy, this is a team that will be talked about for years. Also, notice the two surprise winter transfers from Cal and Vanderbilt.

He deleted an earlier tweet about being offered. Not sure why it was deleted but Nick Pickett is on him too. He's currently a FLA commit. I would imagine our new CB Coach already has a relationship with him.

6'3" CB? Richard Sherman?

Calvin announced in the first quarter that he was committing to Oregon State, in an emotional "declaration"

I tweeted this..

Calvin will visit Oregon the final week before National Signing Day, and prior to his announcement today has not been able to visit Oregon or talk much to the coaches with the dead period.

What is the name of the rivals app in the App Store? Need to reload it on my iPad and not finding it.

Scout is reporting that Malik Condiff, Jr, College player from Santa Monica CC has committed to Oregon. 5'11, 175 lbs, 4.42 . That's all I got, good night!

per his Twitter.

Now what?

I turn on the game, and Lenoir makes a great play on the ball and explodes for a long kick off. Announcers must not know that he opened up recruitment as they call him a Duck. Damm , I hope they are right. That kid looks like a serious player!!

How many more coaches do we need? Maybe we could have a coach tracker thread pinned at the top like the scholly tracker thingy?

I thought there was going to be one or two visitors this weekend. I know things ramp up next week but is there anything going on this weekend?

Per ESPN

Mark Helfrich is gonna be in studio as an analyst along with three other coaches:

PJ Fleck
Matt Rhule
Mark McIntyre

Am I the only guy that sees the connection here?

We shall soon see which of the two HC's pays dividends the soonest. I think Taggart is all set up to succeed with the team coming back who could easily go to a good bowl next year.

I don't think that I've ever had this much fun following Duck recruiting.

The year Chip flipped DAT was a lot of fun but this is like Christmas almost every day.

Going where no Duck has gone before (channeling Star Trek)...CWT is rocking.

Once he gets a seven or eight of those Florida kids up here he will have a pipeline started.

Prediction: I foresee lots of Florida and Southern kids coming up here as long as Willie is here (I know...duh).

I also think that, for Florida kids, it will become totally cool to go to Oregon to play ball. FSU, Miami, Florida, etc will still be there but I just have a feeling that we are gonna be cutting edge in Florida.

At least I hope so.

So much fun.....

Eric Bossi caught up with Kamaka Hepa, ranked as the No. 32 overall 2018 prospect who took an unofficial to Oregon for the Alabama game.

Kamaka Hepa updates recruitment

Announced this morning.

Login to view embedded media Some smoke around this, excellent name too: Billy Gibson

Posted on Instagram he will return. Cited Taggart and Dougherty as key reasons.

Any new info on Craig? Seems he has faded from our consciousness.

So why is this important to Duck fans? Well, being that the Gaddy twins are currently committed to Maryland, and London was also the lead recruiter for Ellis Brooks, it would seem to at the very least increase our odds of flipping the Gaddy twins, and Maryland is a strong player in the recruitment of Ellis Brooks.

At one point Scott also mentioned Mike London as a dark horse candidate in our search for a DL coach. It will be interesting to see who Taggart actually hires as the DL coach.

Also of note, Darren Hiller, the OL coach on Coach Taggart's staff at USF is to become the OL/Co-Offensive Coordinator at Houston. Hopefully all the cards fall right and Mario Cristobal actually becomes our OL/OC.

I'm watching the Music City bowl with TN and Neb. The announcers are saying Helfrich is in Nashville visiting Marcus, and he could be a co=OC candidate for the Vols, and QB coach. I hope not. I do sort of like the Vols. lol
