10 Minutes With OL Coach Adrian Klemm: 'We Are Getting Better Each Day'
A detailed look at the OL performance from his time at UCLA. Certainly not a glowing review. Troubling but I also remember USC fired Steve Greatwood and he is the Oregon gold standard. Many Ducks celebrated when Andy Ludwig departed yet he is highly regarded at Utah. A lot depends on right time, right place. I will leave it to the football technicians to critique the article.

Mario Trades Doug Fir for Palm Trees, Little Else
A couple of interesting snippets with emphasis added from a Miami recap of their spring game. Sound familiar? The Miami Hurricanes offensive is expected to be more methodical and physical under new offensive coordinator Josh Gattis. The completion percentages for Garcia and Van Dyke were impressive. Miami needs more production in yards per attempt. Garcia and Van Dyke combined to average 5.89 yards per attempt. That would have ranked 121st last season. Miami Hurricanes quarterbacks efficient in spring game CANESWARNING.COM The Miami Hurricanes offensive is expected to be more methodical and physical under new offensive coordinator Josh Gattis.

USC is all Ducked Up
13-22-1 since 1972, average score 21-29. Surprised the last 20 years is 7-6 good guys with each team averaging 34 ppg. I didn't realize they missed playing so often.

Another Oregon Kid as a Preferred Walk-On Joins the Ducks
A preferred walk-on is a high school recruit who is guaranteed a spot on the 105 man roster; a walk-on normally goes through a tryout process. The PWO status only applies to the first year, after that a roster spot is contingent on practice performance. Walk-ons can be on the team for five years just like a scholarship athlete. On some occasions a walk-on will earn a scholarship but rarely before their final year. The granting of a scholarship normally happens in the fall when a team hasn't used the full allotment of 85 full rides due to some type of attrition. As a general rule a three star athlete would be considered as a top 800 type player. Each recruiting service uses their own numbers but generally a five star is roughly top 30, a four star is top 300. Simple math leaves 400-500 three stars.

Another Oregon Kid as a Preferred Walk-On Joins the Ducks
Checking the roster from 10 and 15 years ago they ended with nearly 100 listed players. Some kids leave during the year, some are dismissed so it is reasonable they started with about the maximum allowed. Can't speak to the quality but not nearly as many high school players were rated back then.

I believe the current roster limit is 105 of which 85 can be on scholarship.

How Difficult is the 2022 Schedule?
According to pundits publishing click bait rankings not tough enough to be listed. In fact BYU makes a couple lists in part because they play the Ducks. Lots of different opinions listed, how many are worth the cost of the cyber space they occupy is open for debate, but it is the off season. A sampling is below. For reference the 2021 Oregon strength of schedule finished at #30.

Softy and Riley: Conerly to Oregon, NIL?
“There was no doubt it was going to seep into recruiting at some point. I think anybody that cares about college football is not real pleased with that because that wasn’t the intention” So they guy with the million dollar QB stolen from his previous stop is upset with NIL? Quick, someone get me the definition of hypocrisy.

OBD Lands 2022 5-Star Josh Conerly Jr.!
I think he means Oregon Territory. Conerly is the second offensive lineman in the state of Oregon that the Ducks landed in this class, following Puyallup (Wash.) four-star offensive lineman Dave Iuli.

Kicker Andrew Boyle MIA?
When a player enters the portal the school is under no obligation to continue the scholarship. I doubt WSU would fund a semester for a transfer to Oregon.

The Transfer Portal: Embrace It or Drive Yourself Mad
Are you sure that is correct? I find information from the NCAA that May 1 is the deadline for athletes in fall/winter sports to notify their school they are entering the portal (Additionally, a student-athlete must provide their current school with a written request to enter the NCAA Transfer by May 1 if they participate in a fall or winter sport, or July 1 if they participate in a spring sport to use the one-time exception.) but nothing regarding an enrollment deadline. Wouldn't it be similar to a JC transfer, ie enrolled by fall session?
-
Kicker Andrew Boyle MIA?
His announcement that he planned to transfer from WSU to Oregon made news, 247's portal tracker lists him as enrolled. On his seldom used twitter account he says he a kicker at UO. Despite that he is not listed on the football roster nor the depth chart. Any information as to what happened?

Kansas vs Villanova/ Duke vs UNC - The Winners?
Thank you. Nice to have my gut hunch confirmed.

Kansas vs Villanova/ Duke vs UNC - The Winners?
Pulling for Villanova all the way. They build a team the old fashioned way, recruit freshmen and keep them in the program. If I glanced at their roster correctly they have a single transfer, Caleb Daniels, unrated out of high school and originally enrolled at Tulane. If we don't really care for the portal shouldn't we pull for teams that don't use it? Also I prefer Jay Wright to Coach K.

Tiger Fans Yuk It Up.
The Auburn writer is looking for a NCAA record in jumping to conclusions. Would you name a starter based on four plays? Media was allowed for 20 minutes (including stretching) of the 4th practice. Each QB had a series. "None of the drives resulted in points, as each were capped at three or four plays." per 247.

Can You Buy the Championship?

DAT v Devon: Who Runs a Faster 40?
