Elite 2025 TE and current Kansas State verbal Linkon Cure is visiting Eugene for the Maryland game https://n.rivals.com/content/athletes/linkon-cure-311226?view=pv STOMP
Cure has cancelled this weekend's visit as a major storm is passing through the midwest. He's said to be rescheduling for the byeweek STOMP
the guy I talk to that has some connections to the Ducks told me he was skeptical Cure was going to come this weekend, blizzard or not. He said the staff is trying hard with this kid because they rate him highly, but there doesn't seem to be any real optimism. That's why they have pivoted to Ploog and Olesh
On the positive side, yet another stud WR is looking toward Eugene... Johntay Cook is a 5* from the 2023 class who has been at Texas but now is in the portal. He's said to be buds with Evan Stewart and Dakorien Moore STOMP
Was it Gabe King? He actually transferred to Eugene from North Carolina to play at South Eugene but then ended up going to Cal. Keenan Allen was another North Carolina guy that the Ducks were recruiting. When Gabe King transferred I thought the Ducks were a lock for all of them as there were a couple of other guys from North Carolina that were being recruited with them. They all ended up at Cal in the end. Keenan Allen was a big loss.
I believe so. We used to have lots of recruiting battles with Cal back then so my memories a little foggy. That was kind of the beginning of me following Ducks recruiting.
Yeah Cal could actually recruit with Tedford. They got Marshawn Lynch a few years earlier along with Desean Jackson. The Ducks really wanted Marshawn. I don't think Desean Jackson gave Oregon much attention, but Marshawn seemed like he was going to be a Duck for a bit.
For the Maryland game Oregon is hosting four guys from the 2026 class with the lowest rated by rivals being #29 overall prospect and UO verbal commit from Texas RB Tradarian Ball. The other three are #7 Bama WDE Anthony Jones, #13 Tenn QB Jared Curtis & #19 Ohio CB Elbert Hill. They are also hosting the #3 overall prospect from the 2027 class, California SDE Richard Wesley STOMP
