The Meteoric Rise of Oregon Baseball
My roommate worked at the Cape Cod Baseball League last summer, and he doesn’t hesitate to brag about the dozens of college baseball players he met there.

What Spring Football Reminded Us About the Relevance of Recruiting Rankings

“Oregon Doesn’t Put Players Into the League”
We’ve all heard the story from recruits: “Come to (Insert School Here), our system puts players into the NFL. Oregon may make you a good college player, but Oregon can’t put lineman into the NFL. With defensive end Dion Jordan (3rd overall pick by Miami) and offensive lineman Kyle Long (20th overall pick by Chicago) coming off the board in the first …

On Sunday afternoon, Mitchell Tolman delivered one of the most exciting plays all year for the Oregon baseball team, converting a walk-off squeeze …
