Alright, I went camping for a night and come back to 3 new recruits!!! I should go camping more often!

I heard Andrew's podcast from yesterday an it's a good one. He said it's a bit of a down year for talent in California so recruiting in Texas and Alabama is huge. Crystal Ball had the predictions wrong for 2 of the 3 yesterday too. The Ducks have been talking about Texas for a while without much success until now. https://www.audacy.com/1080thefan/podcasts/recruiting-with-andrew-nemec-20364/recruiting-w-andrew-nemec-7121-512550267

A number of sources and players are talking about a couple more silent recruits announcing soon. Isaiah Sategna is likely one of them and one of the fastest receivers in the county. A possible Olympic level track star too. It would be nice to have a speedster in addition to all the tall receivers the Ducks already have.

We should hear from J.T. Tuimoloau soon. Andrew gives the Ducks a chance, but leans towards Ohio having the edge. He brought up a good point I hadn't heard about the back to back recruiting trips to Ohio and then Oregon. He said the teams split the flight to J.T. would've been going home on his own dime if he had made the decision to commit to Ohio when he was there. Andrew didn't know if that was the case. I like that Andrew never BS's when he doesn't know something.

Go Ducks!

I always enjoyed the podcasts Andrew and Tyson would put on, tho I mentioned a couple of times they could move away from the water feature 
We used to get much better info when they were covering the Ducks. I'm not as excited as usual due to the portal and some other shit going on, but it is cool to see the staff get rave reviews from all the kids, even if they don't commit.
Go Ducks!

Go Ducks! The highest rated OL ever and the 5th player in the class from Texas. 

 

bummer on JT. still, gotta sting worse up in Montlake to let a local kid get away, albeit out-of-conf.

Ducks Co22: five Texas, two Bammy, one each Okla and Miss. only two from Cali, and a coupla locals from Jeff and CCRams.

Rob Mullens must be smiling somewhere today. this is what he paid for when he hired and continues to hire a recruiting-centric staff. leverage the facilities and the brand to sign 'em up.

now get 'em all in the house, coach 'em up, and hope they don't get homesick two years from now. you know, the Jordon Scott thing.
