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 […]
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 […]
In the modern era of college football, the words “offense” and “Oregon” have often been more or less synonymous. And though the Ducks’ 2021 recruiting class reflects this sentiment, it’s the defense the past two seasons that has injected the most life into the program under the direction of head coach Mario Cristobal and defensive […]
Twelve days between commitments feels like it qualifies as a cold snap if you’re an ardent follower of Oregon football recruiting. Sure, the Ducks picked up an in-state commitment from 2022 four-star prospect Emar’rion Winston last Thursday, but it’s been 12 days since a 2021 prospect made the call for Oregon.

Despite the indefinite delay to fall camp due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the overwhelming uncertainty surrounding the viability of the 2020 season, the momentum that Mario Cristobal and the Oregon staff have had on the 2021 recruiting trail has not subsided since their efforts began shifting into overdrive back in May. However, with limited […]
Friday is pay day for many people in the work force. In recent weeks, Friday has had a similar feel for Ducks head coach Mario Cristobal and the Oregon football program, as the Ducks have been richly compensated in the form of scoring major additions to their rapid ascending 2021 recruiting class. Last Friday, Oregon’s […]
Who says nothing grows in the desert? Certainly not Mario Cristobal, who is finding the Desert Southwest – and in particular, the state of Arizona – to be especially fertile recruiting territory for the Ducks during the 2021 recruiting cycle. With prospects such as four-star quarterback Ty Thompson and four-star offensive linemen Bram Walden and […]
A 2020 recruiting class that was headlined by a trio of five-star signees in Noah Sewell, Justin Flowe, and Dontae Manning gives way to a 2021 cycle that will look to be replicated – or perhaps even improved upon – by Ducks head coach Mario Cristobal and his slightly new-look coaching staff.
