Oregon Ducks 2023!

[BBert]

well, according to the main guy at the Duck On3 site, the Ducks are out of it by their own choice. Don't want to be involved with that guy

he also said, by the way, Oregon is still recruiting Walter Nolen but the odds are pretty low they convince him

Culture, especially at that age, is really important. Attitudes like his can/will spoil a team.

Now we know how much Phil Knight spent on getting players for the Ducks.

Nike seeks $2 billion in cost savings over 3 years, confirms significant layoffs

At least he's spending his money wisely.

The Pac-2 and Pac-10 have reached a settlement to end litigation. Talked about it the the Pac-12 poof thread

Can you send me a link? I signed up for their $1 for a month sub but I can’t find it.

Just a numbers game based on total recruits. Miami has a good mix of 5,4&3's.

I actually found it. I was arguing with a fan on Reddit about seaton and I mentioned that we supposedly pulled ourselves out of the running so of course he asked for a link. It was in an article with updates about other targets.

it's true that Oregon had no composite 5-stars

however, IIRC, they are/were (another NLI day in Feb.) 2nd to Georgia in number of 'blue-chip' recruits and also 2nd in number of 'Top-300' recruits

*******************************************************************************

the composite scores are calculated by combining 247 + Rivals + ESPN's recruiting rankings. BUT, it's not a simple averaging:

"The commitments are ranked from highest to lowest based on their star rating. The scores are weighted, based on the rankings, according to a Gaussian distribution formula or a bell curve. In other words, the top recruit is worth 100% of his rating value, the second commit is worth nearly 100% of his rating value, and down to the last recruit who is worth a small fraction of his rating value. This formula ensures that all commits contribute at least some value to the team's score without heavily rewarding teams that have several more commitments than others.

the highest-rated recruits contribute more points to the total team score than the lower-rated recruits. Not just because their rating is higher, but also because they contribute a higher percentage of their rating than those commits with a lower ranking in the class. Here is the punchline: The top third of every class contributes most points to the team score, the middle third contributes some points to the team score, and the bottom third contributes very few points to the final team score. In our example, the top third contributed 74% of the 173 points

Mathematically, the top 2/3 of every class contribute approximately 97% of the total score. In terms of total score, the bottom 1/3 is immaterial because it contributes only 3% of the total score."

yeah...Justin Hopkins

he's fairly well connected and a bit conservative in what he divulges because he doesn't want to risk his sources. He's right a lot more often than he's wrong. But as he always reminds everybody when predicting what a prospect will decide: teenagers are fickle and change their minds often; especially in the age of NIL and the transfer portal

might not be so good.

it became pretty apparent that while Mario was Oregon's coach he chased star ratings. He had a lot of high-rated busts & disappointments like Justin Flowe, Micah Pittman, Jonah Taunau'u, Bryan Addison, Isaah Crocker, Jay Butterfield, Bram Walden, Ty Thompson, Keith Brown, & Avante Dickerson

those guys really goosed up Oregon's composite rankings a hell of a lot more than they contributed on the field

 

[MickZagger]

Lanning went back to the Georgia philosophy of having an absolute stacked D-line. Ducks will be geared up nicely for Big 10 play

Michigan will be losing a ton next year. Along with their head coach most likely.

I’m excited for some 9am Midwest kickoffs

I get 5 stars or any stars can be inaccurate, however there is a reason 5 star players are rated as such.

Oregon's 2024 class might not be complete yet:



he's a 4-star ranked #130 in the composite. Announcing some time today

I don't think it's likely...he's been choosing between UW and Texas for weeks now. Not even certain Oregon is making a push, but the rumor is out there

 

[Natebishop3]

Wiz do you sub to both Scoopduck and 247?

yeah

I was grandfathered in at 247 because they bought EDuck (Scout) about 5 years ago. Joined EDuck in 2005

I used to know 3 or 4 guys that were well connected to the UofO AD and coaching staff back in the Brooks/Bellotti years. So I got lots of early inside info (which I didn't share by request). Now, it's down to one semi-significant donor who occasionally hears some things. Sometime the things he hears are right, sometimes not

All of those savings will be going directly to the Oregon football program.

Ok that might deserve a nomination for tweet of the year.

Which is better? On3 or 247? I listen to the 247 guys on their podcast. I don’t sub.

at On3 you'll see more rumors and tweets from subscribers. They also have a lot more memes and gifs. There's a hell of a lot more snot, piss, and vinegar at On3. Lots of food fights and more trolls

247 has less rumors and is usually much less bombastic and antagonistic. Seems like what's reported there might be a little more vetted. They might have more news about the other sports and women's sports

I agree with this.

I'd confidently say the converge for Oregon basketball and baseball is far superior at 247, but you're not going to get the sunshine pumping rumors from the local 247 guys (though their national guys get a lot of good info). The On3 message board is really football heavy, where 247 has plenty of people into softball, volleyball, track, etc.
