while Oregon is still popular they might need to recruit differently & maybe go in a different direction. Maybe build their team a little differently.
Chip Kelly is gone, MAriota is leaving(what are the odds of finding another him), LaMichael James or Barner isnt walking in that door, etc. Perhaps that era of smaller players and outscoring everyone is coming to an end?
Good post Jad..
They have already started to recruit some what differently. They are going big on the Lines this past year, specifically Oline. The ducks are fine at RB they will, fingers crossed be able to keep pulling 5* backs(Tho it sucks one of there 5* back for the 15 class tore his ACL this year). shyt Royce is actually a different type of back then Chip would have recruited. More in the JStew mold.
But your right, they have to tweak there recruiting. Getting by on 3* prospect with speed and scheme is not going to cut it in the Pac 12 anymore.
We will see, but the Ducks are do for a down turn. Going to be very interesting going forward next year for the Ducks.
