Sounds like a tasty meal, no?

In general, this blog isn’t to bash the Ducks, but I had a hearty laugh when I saw their two top recruits de-commit today. This after they overpaid millions for a 27-48 head coach who got boat raced by BSU, chained themselves to him for 5 years, and then topped that by giving 1.7mil to a DC who abuses players and wants to be a HC at Kansas State (even writing a K-State clause in his contract). They did this, of course, to keep said class they’re currently in the process of losing.

I called Taggart a fraud who was in it for himself. Well, Mario (lol @ that name) and Leavitt are both cut from the same cloth. Both are real life Stuart Smalleys with a little Tony Robbins in them to appear tough. Frauds.

Merry Christmas, my fair feathered friends.

Go Beavs.

Go Beavs!

I’m seeing that sentiment pop up over and over. Just say what you mean: you want to see young, dynamic, black coaches on the staff.

I do, too. Hall should be retained to coach DBs, if Smith hasn’t pissed him off and burned that bridge already. As a recruiter, he’s Heyward, lite edition.

Smith seems to be hiring coaches known for teaching rather than recruiting — that’s fine up to a degree and very important. Obviously you need both, though, to consistently play at a high level. My concern with these hires is that since Smith was a walk-on who went to a Fiesta Bowl, he might be skewed in his views toward recruiting.

To Iowa. So much for Riley helping out with recruiting.

It was a nice one day narrative while it lasted.
