Thats some serious experience. We will see what our actual starting lineup looks like, but gotta love how our OL is shaping up.
I get it. But also, if that's the weakness of the team, I'm glad the staff is addressing it. OL is arguably the most unpredictable and difficult place to recruit out of the High School ranks. Large humans, who are agile and and backpedal, are so tough to find and it feels like the hit rate on 4-5* OL out of HS isn't the same as a WR or RB for example. A lot of Oregon's best OL were unheralded out of HS and turned into all-conference players (Powers-Johnson, Unger, Throckmorton, Grassu, etc.). OL also takes time. You don't find many day 1 starters like a Jake Fisher, Tyrell Crosby, or Josh Conerly Jr. Dan just completed Year 3 on the job and Year 2 full-cycle recruiting. We did bring in Utu (5*) and Addison (4*) this class and have a verbal from Greene (4-5*) in 26 and are working on more top talent, so hopefully the pipeline starts to get going once again.Phalanx wrote: Tue Jan 14, 2025 11:06 am Looks like this cycle's Derrick Harmon. I'm not sure how I feel about needing three starters on the O-line to come from the transfer portal, but it certainly adds to a hopeful feeling about next year's team.
To me this is a great way for Lanning and Terry to handle Klemm’s absolute failure at recruiting OLine. I don’t expect this to continue as recruiting improves and the young OLine guys get developed.Phalanx wrote: Tue Jan 14, 2025 11:06 am Looks like this cycle's Derrick Harmon.

We basically did this with the DL from this past season. Our NT/DT were transfers, and it worked out super well for us. So agreed, if having 3 OL transfers starting for us is what we need then so be it.DmoneyDuck wrote: Tue Jan 14, 2025 1:21 pmI get it.

Would be interesting. Makes me wonder if they couldn't give him the NIL package they promised?buckmarkduck wrote: Tue Jan 14, 2025 4:07 pm Rumor UW has already kicked transfer WR from Texas, Cook off the team.
