Portal Needs - 2024

[StevensTechU]

HUGE bummer about Mukuba, we need secondary help. Getting a little worried about the secondary and OLine for next season.

Why the OL? Should be strong again.

2025 OL worries me. High school recruiting has been steadily declining, so Terry really needs to hit some extra base hits in the '25 class. Not sure if Boulton, Lipe, Rogers, Wooten, and others will ever see the field for the Ducks.

For 2024 I’m a little worried about the G position, didn’t feel like they were very good last year and Jones is gone. Losing JPJ sucks too. But for sure OLine recruiting needs to improve drastically starting 2025, especially with it looking like McRoy is going to Colorado. Seems like since Lanning has gotten here he’s been able to recruit at every position except OLine.

Offensive line, tight end, and if you remove the Duck legacy in Akili Smith Jr, quarterback. Those are the three weak spots in high school recruiting.

McRoy is replaceable, in my opinion. He's huge but his athleticism doesn't stand out. I say replaceable, meaning there are prospects that are just as good, but so far I haven't seen Terry go out and get them besides Fox Crader.

Since I mentioned it, our TE recruiting needs to step it up. The guys we're recruiting don't have NFL futures, to put it nicely.

OMG, is J.Smith moving players out, ala PrimeDime?

[greenyellow]

Oregon to likely get visit from Texas A&M DB Tyreek Chappell, a former SEC All-Freshman team member in 2021 with 26 starts in 3 years.

Oregon is the favorite to land Cayden Green from Oklahoma, how much will that help with the OLine going forward?

I heard he was leaving, but didn't know Oregon was in on him. Oklahoma seems more bummed about losing this guy than the QB we signed. Here's hoping.

Would be huge. I only feel good about Poncho and Fox Crader among the '22-'24 classes, and maybe McRoy. Everyone else makes me shudder if I think about them blocking Alabama's defense in a playoff game. That's just 3 linemen and then you consider injuries.

TBF, you weren’t too high on JPJ coming out of high school either. OL is hard to predict when so many HS players can just outsize opponents with poor technique and mobility.

This guy, who was recruited by Lanning to Georgia, just entered the portal. Would be nice to get him in the middle of the defense:

To be fair, here's what I literally said:

Jackson Light (247c: .8985, STU: .90)
At 6'2, Jackson isn't as big of a guy as most of the offensive linemen we've had recently. Less height means smaller frame. But that said, Jackson is quite athletic and seems to take the weight room very seriously, increasing the chances that he makes the most of whats' god-given. I think he'll make for a very good pulling center or guard.

I didn’t see that one, just the comment from his commitment thread.


“Haven’t watched a lot of his film, but feeling kinda meh on this initially. I'll watch more and get a better sense, but just doesn't show a ton of athleticism or strength, necessarily.”

[StevensTechU]

Too funny. Yea, I'd say pre- and post-watching film makes just a hair of difference.
