Since new coach Mark Helfrich has taken over for Chip Kelly, he has been very busy on the recruiting trail. Not only has he and five assistant coaches had an in home visit with every current commit, he has also added some much needed talent to Oregon’s 2013 class. Oregon is now up to 17 commitments, and looks to add …
Its Super Bowl Sunday tomorrow, friends. The only game of the year where the pregame is roughly three times the length of the game and your wife shushes you so she can hear the commercials. It’s the game that sells more beer than any other five games put together and you can bet on whether Beyonce will show cleavage during …
On Monday, the Ducks announced that they were replacing a September 7th road game against Nevada in Reno with a game against Virginia in Charlottesville the same day. It was a move that made sense for all parties involved: Nevada wanted out of an already loaded non-conference schedule that included UCLA and Florida State, and Virginia needed a replacement for …
PALO ALTO, Calif. — Back in November, the undefeated, league-leading Oregon Ducks ran into Stanford’s football team at Autzen Stadium, and Oregon’s national championship dreams were squashed. Last night at Maples Pavilion on the Stanford campus, the Cardinal basketball team faced another highly-ranked and undefeated Pac-12-leading Oregon squad. Stanford didn’t blink. The No. 10 Ducks, leading the conference by …
With signing day less than a week away, Mark Helfrich has a chance to ace his first test as the head coach of the Oregon Ducks. When Helfrich took over for Chip in mid-January, things didn’t look particularly good on the recruiting front. For a couple of days, it looked like things could really fall apart. Fast forward to today …
Football Recruiting Commits/Offers While much of this week’s attention focuses on Oregon’s latest grab at receiver Devon Allen (4-Star/Phoenix, AZ/Rivals250), and quarterback Juwaan Williams (3-Star/Tucker, GA), little known hybrid Elijah George (2-Star/Las Vegas, NV) committed to the Ducks after taking an official visit last weekend (Read a detailed analysis of Allen here). “Coach (Steve) Greatwood said he loves my potential and my size,” said George. “He thinks …
It is good to be a Duck right now! The University of Oregon football program has been in the Top 10 for a few years now, and because of that people all over the country think of football when they think of Oregon. Now it seems like Oregon’s men’s basketball team is going to give their fellow Duck athletes some competition as they …
The athletes in this years Oregon Ducks recruiting class are shaping up to be a rather unique bunch; including a pair of twins and a pair of players who are the sons of former NFL players. Now with committed running back Thomas Tyner and the addition of Devon Allen, the Ducks have a pair of the fastest high school sprinters …
The lineage of running backs coming through Eugene has been almost mythical the last 10 years. From Jonathan Stewart to LaMichael James and Kenjon Barner, the Oregon running game has been in good hands. In 2013, despite losing Barner, nothing will change, and that has nothing to do with De’Anthony Thomas, or the two highly touted recruits coming in. That’s …
18-2 Oregon Leads Pac-12 by Two Games It wasn’t perfect. The coach still sees much work to do, but other than a rash of mystifying turnovers and missed free throws at the end, the No. 16 Ducks played some of their best basketball of the season in disposing of Washington 81-76 Saturday before a sellout crowd of 12,364 at Matthew …
As signing day approaches a few questions come to mind…how many Oregon recruits will be left after Urban Meyer is done raiding them all? I bet the NCAA is wishing the Miami mess would go away, because it keeps getting worse, with more evidence turning up. Anyone want to bet that #1 recruit Robert Nkemdiche will sign with an SEC team? …
Tier-3: Trevorris Johnson RB Currently committed to TCU, Johnson is set to visit Eugene this weekend. Expect a commitment shortly thereafter. In Oregon’s search for a third back, some high profile options have chosen to go elsewhere, leaving the coaches with few remaining options. While Johnson isn’t considered an “elite” recruit, his film shows a player who has the tools to be successful at …
