    But for a program that celebrated and self-congratulated its own innovation, it's jarring that the downfall came from failing to grasp new-school recruiting tactics.

    Like Grandpa Race with a new iPhone, Oregon couldn't figure out how it all worked.

    Oregon recruiting tanked because the staff got cocky and didn't think they needed to work at it anymore.

    Seems like their network of paid scouting consultants street agents should have been able to help with this.

    When did Oregon recruiting really tank? They had top 25 classes every year until last year and even then they finished in the top 30. At their peak they were only pulling in borderline top 10 classes but still recruiting below the level they were playing at. Seems like people reaching for a narrative here.

    Eye test. Their rankings may have been borderline top 10 but they were bringing in players clearly a cut above Bellotti. Part of that is also Chip developing

    Helfrich apparently stopped the PEDs and is not bringing in the kind of badass player that made them two time first loser
    I think you should learn to read.

    Petersen tweeting a "Woof" each time he got a commit is the reason Oregon collapsed under Helfrich?

    The irony is that Sark was the guy who started that "Woof" tweeting horseshit. And Oregon beat Sark like a drum.

    I think its because they sucked at evaluating and developing talent.


    Just me though.
