It cannot be stated often enough: There are few things on this earth more inexact and deceiving than recruiting rankings. Yes, there is a correlation between a school’s recruiting ranking at the end of a given cycle and their capacity to ultimately compete for a national championship. However, more often than not, top 10-caliber classes […]
Oregon may have verbal commitments from two of the West Coast’s best defensive tackles already, but for the moment, that evidently hasn’t diminished their chances of landing one of the nation’s top prospects at the position. Despite pledges from four-star Keyon Ware-Hudson and three-star Suaava Poti, the Ducks were included as one of the final […]
If you’re a Duck fan who follows recruiting, there is very little worth quibbling over at this present moment. In fact, if you find yourself quibbling, you’re likely a professional quibbler who is rarely – if ever – satisfied with anything. The truth is Oregon currently has the nation’s 7th-ranked recruiting class for 2019 – […]
It wasn’t that long ago that the Ducks were sitting pretty as it relates to how their 2019 recruiting class was shaping up in the defensive backfield. As the calendar turned to June, Oregon laid claim to verbal commitments from four highly-touted defensive back prospects; a group that included three-stars Marques Caldwell and Cameron Williams, […]
The Ducks have been spinning recruiting gold in 2019, building what is on pace to be the best recruiting class in school history by a wide margin. With 14 prospects known to have given the Oregon coaching staff a verbal commitment, the Ducks currently have the nation’s 4th-ranked recruiting class per 247Sports’ Composite Team Rankings, […]
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 […]
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 […]
