    Branch from SC in the Portal. Would be a decent get for the ducks? We could use another slot receiver of his caliber.

    They're saying he and his brother are a package deal and we aren't interested in his brother.

    Also they're going to be expensive.

    yeah, that seems to be the position of Oregon about the Branch bros, and Duce Robinson too. Ducks might have interest in the USC RB, Quinten Joyner if Jordan James leaves. Bear Alexander is still supposed to visit. I'm not sure how I feel about him; guess I'll have to trust the coaches

    If Evan Stewart is leaving for the draft, then probably Ducks take on another receiver. They've a lot of guys already on the roster who look like they could be dudes next year. I've heard we should be excited about Jeremiah McClellan from what he's shown in practices & I'll be surprised if Dakorien Moore doesn't hit the ground running.

    They also have the Nevada player visiting today.

    I think they still need a LB and a RB.

    the RB decision is pretty layered

    both Jordan James and Whittington could return next season. Both could leave. I'd imagine the Ducks would need to know for sure before they 'pay' for a transfer RB

    Louisville redshirt freshman tight end Jamari Johnson has verbally committed to the Ducks.
    The 6-foot-5, 265-pound tight end will have three years of eligibility at Oregon.

    Love the video of Jordan Davison. He is already big enough at 6' 216. If they have him for spring ball I don't think they need a portal guy.
    Between Riggs, Harris, Limar, and Davison (and Dierre Hill) any portal guy would need to be really good to make a difference.

    I'd imagine they have to have some kind of inkling.

    this is a little bit of departure for Lanning and the portal. the Ducks have generally been signing established players. Guys who can come in and be ready to start and plus holes. That was especially true last season.

    Johnson missed half of the season and didn't really establish a lot at Louisville but was a highly rated recruit. Kind of reminds me of the Jordan Burch signing

    Yesterday the Oregon rivals insiders relayed that of the OTs they’re pursuing, Harkey was the coaches top target. The other Tackle they’re said to really like is Ethan Onianwa

    the TE Johnson held Duck interest when he was a HS recruit but went to Louisville with a bunch of his friends. He’s really big and may be more of a blocker at UO

    Maybe it has more to do with the position. We just needed a bigger TE who can block. We have the skilled TEs already. Just a guess

    He just fits a different need than Sadiq. He's a big dude. 6'5.

    I think they're probably confident in Sadiq taking over next year.

    Looks like we get #1 ranked FCS Montana State as first game 2025. Think they are in semi's this weekend.

    No, we get the winner of Ohio State vs Tennessee for our first game of 2025. We're hoping that Montana State is our 4th game of 2025.

    Sadiq is actually a really good blocker.
