Ducks Attack Message Board Forum

Tyler Turner committed to Baylor. He's going to play for Matt Powledge, who I believe was the coach that recruited him to Oregon in the first place.

Really good article on the spending this year with NIL and the Portal from CBS. Oregon isn't mentioned but what I'm left with is that we're usually pretty smart in how we use our money and don't just waste it. It might be that we balked at the price of some guys who have left the program relative to what they want.

I wish I hadn't read this. Yuck. Oregon can't get on a full Big 10 share fast enough. They should try to renegotiate after kicking everyone's butt this year.

An 'insider' says Oregon leads for Makhi Hughes, running back from Tulane who is the older brother of recent signee Naeem Offord.

Not portal, but unexpected anyways. Sounds like Bryce might get a waiver, and return for one more year. Would be huge for us at LB

Some light rumblings that Caldwell could return at NT too which would mean very little turnover among the Front 7.

Burch: Bear Alexander
Harmon: Amauri Washington
Bassa: Devon Jackson

I just started a new thread of this but hadn't seen your post. Sorry about that.

Getting Caldwell back would be great. Of all the JUCO guys who could come back, I want that experience at NT.

No problem. Appreciate you starting the thread

Winston will be joining Tyler Turner in Waco as he's committed to Baylor.

This Crepea article would have me believe that Noah will transfer somewhere else this offseason IF he gets a big NIL offer since I don't think he's a guy who will get drafted like Jordan James.

Congrats on becoming a Father and in this era, I've got zero problems with him looking out for himself if someone offers the bag.

Former Florida State, Alabama, and Hutchinson CC wide receiver Malik Benson supposedly visiting the Ducks. Mid-tier guy. I imagine they're looking at him because they expect some attrition.

Malik Benson is not good enough, that’d be a pretty disappointing addition and would indicate a steep decline in the WR room next year.

That one guy would do all that?

Not sure why the laughing, if he’s as mid as people are saying, Oregon brining him would be a pretty big indication that he would be capable of competing with/playing over the WR on the team. That would seem to be a pretty considerable drop off from this year, where most assume the 3 starters are NFL guys.
