What people don't realize is these things take time. Clay Helton already won a Rose Bowl and popped off. Who cares about stars and rankings and blue chips. Helton just needs to get HIS guys in their and do it the RIGHT way.
I am getting sick of having to defend him from all the Nega-Trojs who have nothing better to do than armchair coach with a big you know what in their sweat pants in their parents basement.

I like it...but the fact that Helfrich won a Rose Bowl, diminishes that accomplishment and the Trojan faithful know that unfortunately

Helfrich needed more time too. Great coach. Really sad the Oregon AD listed to all the nega ducks.
44 blue chips inc 4 @ 5 stars in 5 years including his hiring and leaving years. 9 a year. Both UW and UO are exceeding that now but that was a huge upgrade at the time
Over the five-year period Oregon signed a total of 40 four-star prospects and like most schools there was a fair amount of both his and misses. But Kelly gets credit for helping bolster the Ducks recruiting during that period. From 2004-08 the school signed just 22 four-stars and from 2014-17 the school signed 27 four-stars. Among the biggest successes were defensive linemen Armstead and Buckner, who went onto be first round picks in 2015 and 2016. While Kelly’s teams produced several NFL Draft picks, it’s notable that only Huff (Philadelphia, 2014) and Grasu (Chicago, 2015) were the only offensive four-stars signed from 2009-13 to go onto be drafted.
Sucked at offense recruiting of blue chips - sounds familiar
But Chip excelled in three star guys that bled black chrome yellow green and metallic silver
Most notable: Taylor Hart (three-star, 2009), Terrance Mitchell (three-star, 2010), Marcus Mariota (three-star, 2011), Jake Fisher (three-star, 2011), Kyle Long (three-star, 2012).
The ability of Kelly (and his staffs at Oregon during that time) to identify and evaluate talent played a major role in the success Oregon had during that period. The group is headlined by former three-star and eventually Heisman Trophy winning quarterback Marcus Mariota. Oregon was the only Power Five program to offer Mariota and he went onto become the best player in the program’s history. Likewise, Long was a three-star junior college player who spent just one year with the program before going in the first round of 2013 NFL Draft while Fisher was an All-American who went onto be selected in the second round of NFL Draft. Mitchell and Hart were both key playmakers for the Ducks during their time in Eugene and are now both on active NFL rosters.

We need to develop a strategy for keeping him there.
Chip is completely ruining my narrative on him.
It’s been over. He got way too egotistical and lazy.
Chip might build a lean mean 3 star machine.
They were playing tuff at the end of the season
