How the modern recruiting game passed Oregon Ducks by
Comments
-
Tweeting will solve the Ducks recruiting issues. Yeah that's it.
-
Petersen tweeting a "Woof" each time he got a commit is the reason Oregon collapsed under Helfrich?
-
People get paid to write that shit?
Must be a low bar to be a paid sportswriter ... -
Thanks Taft

I love how the author uses the recent commitment of a guy Oregon wouldn't touch with a ten foot pole in previous years as proof that "Taggart has got it"

"I think, especially in 2016 and beyond, that is going to be a huge part of how you recruit a kid," Scout National Director of Recruiting Brandon Huffman said. "How many times have we seen a kid say, 'Where are all my Nebraska followers at? Where are all my Michigan followers at?' I've had kids straight-up tell me a school made a top five because they added more followers. If you aren't doing that, you are going to find yourself on the outside looking in. You are going to get lapped."
Fuck those pussy recruits. -
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 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. Also, Helfrich had zero personality without the genius tag Chip had. Not a great a strategy for national recruiting.

Hookers and blow for recruits transcends all generations.

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 developingBuffBuffPass said: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.

Helfrich apparently stopped the PEDs and is not bringing in the kind of badass player that made them two time first loser -

The irony is that Sark was the guy who started that "Woof" tweeting horseshit. And Oregon beat Sark like a drum.whatshouldicareabout said:Petersen tweeting a "Woof" each time he got a commit is the reason Oregon collapsed under Helfrich?

Just me though. -

Speaking of narrative. This pic elegantly captures your Buff's season. -

I'm sure Willie will turn it around!

I have a little faith in Willie seeing as how he has turned around programs at every stop. This year's 10-2 USF squad with the ninety-somethingth defense gives me serious pause. But the even the Prez of the UO shouted out to go hire a kick-ass DC, so I guess the admin at Oregon gives a fuck, which is nice. Winners win. LIFPO.haie said:I'm sure Willie will turn it around!

He seems like Colorado's coach where he excels at turning a shit tier program around just in time to get gloriously stomped by the coach the school really wanted.AZDuck said:

The Utes died a slow death -
Sling didn't recruit for shit. The D-end that played and were recruited under Chip were Kenny Rowe, Dion Jordan, Arik Armstead, and DeForrest Buckner. One was a sack machine and the other three were high end first rounders. Who was going after the QB's this year? I watched all twelve games and I have no clue who our D-ends are.
Chip had Brady Leaf, Dennis Dixon, Justin Roper, Masoli, Thomas, and freshman Mariota. That's not a very talented group outside of the last guy and they were dominant on offense. Sling had four years and he had one kid that might be a good QB outside of Mariota.
The linebackers were Matthews, Kaddu, Clay, BoLo, Kiko, Stuckey, etc. We had one freshmam this year that was pretty good, total.
Pick an NFL team, pretty solid chance one of their DB's is a Duck. Zero talent in this year's secondary.
The WR's were there to block and beat single coverage. They don't really do either anymore.
I can keep going. Recruiting rankings are fucking stupid. They are assigned by guys who have no idea what they are looking at. If a kid is offered by a bunch of big name programs they get a high rating.
It's about fit and development. Neither of those things were happening outside of the running back position. RIP Coach Cam.
