Flock Thoughts is a sporadic series at WFOD that aims to offer opinion and analysis on a collection of timely, newsworthy items surrounding the Oregon football program. Think of it as going to Costco for the samples, but just replace the nice ladies in hairnets and plastic gloves with our thoughts on some of the […]
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. For the Oregon football program, this natural order of recruiting is perhaps feeling a little more unnatural than usual given the fact they suffered their second de-commitment from their 2021 recruiting class in six days when three-star JUCO prospect […]
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.

However, the player who made the […]
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 […]
When we look back at the pivotal moments for Mario Cristobal and the Oregon Ducks during the 2021 recruiting cycle, it’s likely that we’ll look at May as the month that shifted their recruiting class into overdrive.
