Culp gets a thread!

Not much info other than these two guys for the class of 2018 committed today:

2018 4* qb Colson Yankoff and 6'5 WR Devin Culp both committed today!

Yankoff gets a thread!!!

Here is a very interesting interview I did with Lenoir the other day. He made it very clear that the Ducks lead for him. I would put him on Quack Watch except I don't think he is committing right away. Here is the interview video. I will be writing a story on it too.

He wrote this for the New York Times. Just saw Ram had already posted it, sorry for the duplication.

As we get closer to fall camp (can't wait!), I am interested in people's thoughts on the depth chart and class of each player. Are we really set for a playoff run or is this a rebuilding year, setting us up for next year?? We all agree about the talent and depth at RB, receivers and tight ends, but what about D and o-line? The development of these groups will drive our season, IMO.

Wow. Putin be mad.

And didn't they win the hurdles last time?

Had to share this from SI, from one of the son's of a victim, a college baseball player. These are the stories that should be told and plastered across media, not the person who committed the acts.

Scott-excellent Flock Talk this week . Especially epic since it contained a line from one of my most favorite songs by my absolutely favorite band

Kid is a baller, but I would guess that the Ducks are a long shot at best: Jaylon Johnson

Looks like Nebraska is going to bring as many Cal kids as they can get to visit during the Oregon game. Riley still is trying to climb Oregon's coattails.

Alabama unanimous # 1, Stanford third, Utah 17 and Ducks 19. Probably mostly based on last year. No USC nor UCLA.

I know, I know, too early, but there it is.

You still in UK? I found me mates from Sutton, and we are meeting up in Portsmouth at the Maritime Museum-- one of my mates from 1969 now being a commander at SH. Anyway, when I went 6-7 years ago nobody had FB. I found my guys on FB, new to me. One guy has a wine dealership, one went to Oxford and is a Neuro Psych, and the last is a commander in HRN.
So were you at? Maybe some travel suggestions, for now, London. Ports, York and Eddinb. Would like to see Winchester Cath, Dover..... if that's where you are at still?
Warning, I am 6'5" 250, and better looking than you, lol, and 57 lmfao.
Thanks for your'e service in the UK, and I hope Brixit fails. Let me know if a pint is in a drive. LAst week August.

Just thought it would be cool to see a jersey conversation into an Oregon j.

Stay tuned, we'll post it up as soon as it drops. Oregon should easily make the list

Ducks like this kid a lot and need to take 2 if not 3 TE this cycle, Moses Robinson-Carr.

Caught up with the four-star WR for an update. Ducks in the hunt.

We've talked before about kids decommitting, and the high likelihood that they never recommit to the same school, but this has to be a record, kid is decommitting for the 3rd time from Iowa:

commit --> decommit --> commit --> decommit --> commit --> decommit

I caught up to get the latest with Rivals100 Jaylon Redd who obviously has the Ducks on his short list.

DSA talks with Redd

Greetings all, I have not abandoned ship or been lost at sea - to the delight of some and the chagrin of others. Been a busy last two weeks as I approach a short 'mini' vacation next week. Getting everything lined up at work prior to being gone for a few days, along with way too much on my plate at home - including a sick dog - has left me painfully inadequate in my attempts to be more communicative on the boards.

For that, I apologize. Despite the (maybe) noticeable absence from communication, I have worked hard to keep up as much content as I can. tomorrow in flock Talk, we have 'Five Recruiting Thoughts' kind of a weekly summary of some recruiting tidbits - and I take a look at recruiting synergy.

Crazy to think that a month ago, the Oregon recruiting class was seemingly DOA and now there is a possibility for three Rivals 100 prospects to choose the Ducks; and to potentially go from just two commits to possibly eight or more by the end of June. Some were somewhat expected, others out of the blue, but it really does show that the coaches have been putting in a lot of work.

Anyway, my mini-vacation will involve being completely off grid starting Sunday. I will be back in town sometime Wednesday, but I will be doing nothing but sitting in the woods reading and writing. I will have my regular article already written before I leave.

Enrollment is 60k???? Fastest growing U in the country? Wow. he could be a star in 4 years.

This one to the #24 prospect, SF out of MD, Isaiah Mucius (P.S. someone might help him with the whole UO thing)
