Few things in recent memory were as protractedly loathsome across the board as 2020. And while the residuals of the past year linger to this day with COVID protocols remaining in place for most areas of the country, this spring offers a level of hope and optimism that simply did not exist at this time […]
After adding four-star running back Byron Cardwell to its 2021 recruiting class roughly a week and a half ago, Oregon and head coach Mario Cristobal were at it again on the first day of the February signing period Wednesday, adding another four-star prospect to their ranks in the form of Omaha (Neb.) Westside cornerback Avante […]
While most of the hay is in the barn as it relates to Oregon’s 2021 recruiting class, there are still a few more last minute finishing touches that Ducks head coach Mario Cristobal and his staff are putting on before their work is complete. One of the last installations to this historic class came Monday, […]
In a normal year, college football’s early signing period would be met with a heightened level of anticipation, as programs and fans of programs across the country buckle in and attempt to white-knuckle their way through the day, living and dying on the decisions made by hundreds of elite 18-year-old athletes. For better or worse, […]
Not totally unlike Oregon’s recruiting surge in the spring, when verbal commitments were as regular as scattered showers in the Willamette Valley, the Ducks have seen the recruiting pendulum swing in the exact opposite direction in recent weeks. De-commitments from the program have created the most buzz on the recruiting front in recent weeks, as […]
De-commitments, particularly at this time of the year, are rather commonplace across college football’s recruiting landscape.

As Oregonians know so well, sometimes when it rains, it pours. That’s the general feeling in Eugene these days, as the Ducks – still licking their wounds from a crushing loss at Oregon State this past Friday – were dealt another dose of souring news Monday when Santa Ana (Calif.) Mater Dei four-star wide receiver […]
Since Mario Cristobal was elevated to head coach at the conclusion of the 2017 season, there hasn’t been much for Duck fans to gripe about, particularly for those who closely follow the year-round recruiting intrigue. However, if there has been one nit to pick, it would be the fact that Oregon hasn’t quite figured out […]
Room at the inn is filling up quickly, as Ducks head coach Mario Cristobal more or less has his 2021 recruiting class sitting in wet cement with roughly two months between now and the early signing period in December; a timeline that, to this point, has yet to be impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. On […]
Though the Ducks have been slowed in their ability to take the field this fall, it certainly hasn’t impacted the fervor with which head coach Mario Cristobal and the Oregon coaching staff have pursued the remaining prospects on their 2021 recruiting board. Less than a week after picking up a verbal commitment from three-star linebacker […]
