General Thread/Recruiting

96

Since the last recruiting thread, the Ducks got one of the top JC DTs in the Country. The Beavs landed a 3-star 5.5 ranked LB who looks pretty good. The Beavs have 3 commits, and the Ducks 9.

3 isn’t terrible for this time of year, but it shows how impressively the Ducks are killing it. They have more commits than Stanford or USC, even.

It’s interesting to see that today we offered a 4-star Nebraska commit. It would sure be nice to poach from Riley and rub some vinegar in that wound. Ironic, yeah, that “you can’t recruit to Corvallis”, yet we poach from one of the top 5 easiest schools to recruit to? Looking at his offer sheet, I doubt we get him even if Nebraska loses him. Hopefully we can at least poach one NE recruit this year to stick to Riley and his false narrative.

Bears at Beavs – Series Thread

112

Just about an hour till first pitch, 7:05 start. Weather in “The Best College Town in the PAC” should not be a factor this weekend, and all games are on PAC.
As Bill previewed this morning (before Danny copied), there is an:

“Insanely low chance – But there is a shot at clinching the PAC12 outright this weekend. Beavs need to sweep. Stanford needs to get swept, UCLA needs to lose 2 and UW needs to lose two.” and Cal is a “Decent hitting team but pitching struggles have hurt their season. Second highest walks allowed and lowest srikeouts in the pac 12.

Will Luke continue to be dependable?
Will the bats take advantage of an opportunity?
How about Fehmel?

Will Meggs (again this year) be cheering for the Bears? –Damned Straight!

GO BEAVS!

Willie “The Buddha” Taggart Killing it in Recruiting

262

He picked up another 4-star DB today, winning “big boy battles” with this kid choosing Oregon over USC and Oklahoma.

Check out his April: https://oregon.rivals.com/commitments/football/2018

I guess his slimy personality isn’t holding him back; 18 year olds aren’t wise enough to realize a genuine person vs the flash and slime of a salesman. Meanwhile, check out GA’s class. Pretty bad trend that Willie is killing him that badly on the recruiting trail.

Beavs vs Trojans – series thread

65

First game starts in about an hour, 5:35 pacific.  The entire series will be streamed by the school, the rest of the conference schedule is set for PAC12 Net.

Trojan pitching, with a team ERA over 5 and having given up 7+ runs in EACH of their last five games, is at the opposite end of the scale from last weekends tussle with the Bruins. Will the Beavs bats gain confidence this weekend? Adley? KJ?

The long awaited return of Drew Rasmussen should occur in a relief role this weekend, if you believe Nate and Eggers. Let’s see if Fehmel has a good outing, if not Saturday could be the day.

And, a couple other questions for y’all to mull over:

1)Which Mighty Kwan will show up? 0/4 last Saturday, but 7 hits in his last 15 AB’s.

2)D1 rates Larnach as the 73rd best outfielder in the country, highest of all Beav OF’s, agree?

GO BEAVS!
