The momentum from what was an exciting recruiting weekend has continued deep into the the week for Oregon head coach Mario Cristobal and the Ducks. After securing two four-star commitments from Malaesala Aumavae-Laulu and Josh Delgado this past Sunday, the Ducks have now made it three following the verbal commitment of Nashville (Tenn.) Franklin Road […]
There was a time not that long ago where anxiety was slowly beginning to build amongst Duck fans regarding head coach Mario Cristobal and his staff’s ability to land top flight talent at the wide receiver position for the 2019 cycle. It’s safe to say that after the events of the past couple of weeks, […]
Discounting Arjei Henderson‘s brief three and a half month commitment to the Ducks between July and November of 2017, the first player to commit to Oregon’s 2019 recruiting class became the second member to de-commit from the program in the span of about two and a half weeks. On Wednesday, Alvin (Texas) three-star cornerback Marques […]
Oregon defensive coordinator Jim Leavitt is a damn miracle worker. In his first year directing the Duck defense, Leavitt not only drastically improved their performance in traditional statistical categories such as total defense (surrendering 518.4 yards/game in 2016 to 369.2 yards/game in 2017) and yards allowed per play (6.41 in ’16 to 5.07 in ’17), […]
This past Sunday not only saw Malaesala Aumavae-Laulu and Josh Delgado make their individual pledges to join Oregon’s 2019 recruiting class, but it also included the addition of a player who will enroll this summer and be eligible for the upcoming 2018 season. That player is Tom Snee. Who is Tom Snee? Well, for one, […]
Following a 2017 campaign that began with great promise and excitement accompanying Willie Taggart’s arrival, and ended with great uncertainty and angst following his hasty departure for Florida State, the Oregon football program finds itself in an oddly familiar place as it enters the 2018 season. Like Taggart, head coach Mario Cristobal approaches the upcoming […]
Sunday was quite a day around the Hatfield-Dowlin Complex in Eugene. Not only did the Ducks pick up their second wide receiver commitment for the 2019 recruiting class in four-star Josh Delgado, but they also added another massive piece to their offensive line for 2019 in four-star lineman Malaesala Aumavae-Laulu. Ranked as the nation’s No. 1 […]
To say Oregon head coach Mario Cristobal is placing an emphasis on the trenches would be a gross oversimplification of what’s actually taking place. No, what Cristobal is building is an awe-inspring human citadel; stockpiling offensive linemen like a doomsday prepper does non-perishable food items. The latest addition to Cristobal’s super-sized survival kit: four-star offensive lineman Malaesala Aumavae-Laulu, currently […]
A little over a week after Oxnard (Calif.) three-star prospect JR Waters became the Ducks’ first verbal commitment at wide receiver for the class of 2019, Oregon head coach Mario Cristobal and his staff of relentless recruiters notched their second wide receiver commitment Sunday when Bradenton (Fla.) IMG Academy four-star Josh Delgado made the call […]
Of all positions first-year Oregon head coach Mario Cristobal and his staff aim to fill during the 2019 recruiting cycle, wide receiver is arguably the position of greatest need for the Ducks.
