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 […]
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 […]
Fresh off one of the most epic stretches of recruiting success in program history over the past 10 weeks or so, Ducks head coach Mario Cristobal and his Oregon coaching staff deserve to take, at the very least, a momentary breather. From May 1 to the present day, Cristobal and company have set a remarkable […]
The wide receiver position for the Ducks has been the intense focus of Oregon coaches and fans alike the past several months, as the Ducks have been in the running to land one of, if not the best, wide receiver classes in the country during the 2021 recruiting cycle. 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 […]
If you’re a person who is into picking nits, let us introduce a worthy challenge in the form of Oregon’s sparkling 2021 recruiting class. In fact, if you’re finding yourself unsatisfied with what Mario Cristobal and his coaching staff have accomplished on the recruiting trail to this point in the cycle, you may just be […]
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. Gone from last […]
