Rivals predicts Oregon will land both 247Sports five star  offensive tackle Josh Conerly Jr. and consensus four-star offensive/defensive lineman Dave Luli.  Link to story below by Andrew Nemec.  Though, like Nemec says "In other words, Rivals’ predictions are a good sign for Oregon, but those commitments are far from locks."

Sure is a hopeful sign, but yeah, I would like to see signatures on letters of intent. But wouldn't this be a great start for recruiting for the Lanning staff! Hope Rivals is right.

I never count a 'commitment' or a lean until they have signed. And today? They could enter the portal the day after they signed!

I think a sportswriter is telling the faithful what they want to hear....

So much click bait going on it has become difficult to separate facts from fiction. Both these players would be great recruits if they sign their LOI's.

 

Not sure that even guarantees that top players will stay put with the program. Because the landscape can and is changing daily its difficult to even get excited about a player becoming a Duck. Let alone a sportswriter who heard it from a friends brother in law, whose sister in law once dated an assistant coach. It seems with NSD fast approaching we seem to know more about what isn't happening than way may actually occur  .........

Jon, are you sure they have to wait that long?

Oregon should be a possible destination for many highly touted recruits. It’s a nice discussion, but Lanning and company still need to prove themselves both on and off the field. 
 

I believe that if this staff can lead the team to some impressive wins next season they will quickly gain traction with their recruiting efforts. 

 

However, while predictions are nice…end results matter.
