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 […]
During Mario Cristobal’s tenure as head coach at Oregon, there haven’t been too many out-of-the-blue surprises when it comes to recruiting announcements from prospects the Ducks have made an effort to target during a given recruiting cycle.
