I like this guy. Anyone intersted in BB it's worth dropping in on the BB Recruiting site once in awhile.

Out in the West I really like the makeup of No. 1 seed Oregon and its play in the Pac-12 Tournament really caught my eye. Chris Boucher's rim protection allows the guards to take some chances defensively and the Ducks' length and athleticism to go with an experienced leader like Elgin Cook bode well for them. I was really tempted to go with Oklahoma out of this region but a team that is so heavily reliant on outside shooting worries me a little.

First time in program history. Huge.

Oregon will hold their annual pro day Thursday March 10. We will cover it to the best of our ability for you! We will renew this thread that morning for all of your conversation. We won't be able to grab any direct interviews, but should get plenty of information.

No thread on this? Wow. Lol

Starts off great. Haney and Prakel go 2, 4 in the mile.

If all the kids who say that Oregon was their "dream school" actually comitted we might never lose.

Redd spoke with Adam Gorney and gave an update on his recruitment by the Ducks.

Check it out.

Redd talks Oregon offer

I have a bit of a conflict here, but UVA and UNC need to take care of biz, like everyone else. The loser of the ACC is No 1 in the West?Sounds like BS to me. If Oregon wins tonight, it should be No 1 in the West. Oh well, none of it matters if our Ducks don't beat the Ute's...for the 3d time.

Although I love Brenner as a great young man... please don't say Doug Brenner.

Central Catholic's Ronnie Rust had his baseball scholarship pulled by OSU 10 days before signing day due to an injured shoulder, his second.

Prior to the injury, he was a very highly rated catcher and Oregon has offered him a chance to try both football and baseball.

We have a soft spot for this young man, he's been my kid's biggest 'big brother' of all of those guys from the team the last 4 years....really hoping he finds someplace he can get a chance.

Also supremely disappointed to see OSU turn their backs on a legacy that they offered so early. Ronnie says 'all the OSU stuff came down.'

Well, Stormin gets his wish, Ducks out of the gates with a flurry of offense and defense and take an early 10-2 lead.

It's a long game, but good to see the team respond to their lackluster openings of late with such intensity

If this weekend wasn't busy enough, the Ducks are looking for a couple more NCAA championships in the Indoor Track and Field championships in Birmingham Alabama starting today, Friday, and ending Saturday. Here are a couple of good previews of the meet.

One on the FishDuck site: Ducks Gear up for NCAA Indoor Track and Field Championships is highly recommended. It lays out Oregon's chances and how strategies can change as a result of the differences between indoor and outdoor track and is written by a local Tracktown aficionado.

Another has a more national perspective: The Weekend’s Best Matchups: NCAA Championships... And it's best matchup? Oregon vs SEC. As the article points out, if you look at the latest USTFCCCA computer rankings, which estimates scoring potential in the championship meet, it's all SEC except that Oregon is #1 for men and #2 for women! Go Ducks.


As a reminder, my formchart tracker for the meet can be used to keep up with the team scores as the meet progresses. Currently, point projections using seeding positions (based on season best marks) shows the Oregon men at #1 and the Oregon women at #3.

He is my eyes and ears this week! We will be doing a week in review, I think I will have it up tomorrow. This is also the week preceding the Rivals Camp: Los Angeles, so we will have plenty of information flowing to you guys next week from the camp. Lots and Lots of Duck targets will be there, so there should be plenty of good information.

I will not personally be there as I fly out to Washington, DC Saturday, but we should have some excellent stuff from the event!

Scott- very good article today and one that certainly provoked some thought.

I am a bit surprised at Shaw's apparent disdain for something I am sure his team members actively participated in and benefited from prior to arriving at Stanford. I have to say his response is coming off not only arrogant but pompous. I like him and think he is a good coach, but I have heard some Stanford "old guard" alums say he can rub people the wrong way sometimes with his demeanor. Who knows.

Also liked the analysis of why the offers have been flying at a much more rapid pace and also that there have been more. I am glad MH (or whoever) realized slow playing some MAY have cost UO some prized recruits. We may never really know but interesting to think about.

I like that there are some changes happening.

So, because I know DJ likes to have a recap with all of the new offers (), I put this together to try and help wrap ourselves around the flurry of offers that came this week:

Week in Review: New offers

Oregon meets Washington today at noon to open defense of their regular season title. The Ducks beat the Huskies two weeks ago, but Washington is coming off of a strong performance after annihilating Stanford yesterday 91-68 - their second consecutive game with 90+ points.

Come here and discuss the game!

Today we took a look at Cotton's junior highlights and broke down his skill-set in our continuing Prospect Profile series.

Prospect Profile: Trajon Cotton

Third time in four years that Altman is the Pac-12 coach of the year... I think this guy can coach some!

This is definitely worth the 20 minutes.

Our final positional look ahead to the class of 2017. Starting tomorrow we switch gears.

Looking Ahead: 2017 TE

Oregon extended an offer to 5 star WDE Joshua Kaindoh. He attends IMG Academy in Florida, but is originally from Maryland. He is an absolute beast. He will be a tough pull.

Oregon offered UW commit, 4 star CB Keith Taylor. I got a kick out of reading all the Dawg tweets in response to this offer. Lol. Taylor attends Servite HS in Cali which is the same school current Duck QB Travis Jonsen attended. It will be interesting to see if anything comes from this offer.
