The recruiting year is officially over and the new one begins. I believe that the true measure of a recruiting class should include all the transfers and signings since the signing period in February 2020. Unfortunately, I am to lazy to try and create the list of those that have joined since last year. (except for Lowe and Harrison; and I believe Lowe was highly ranked coming out of high school.) It is really irksome that Numbnuts does not take the time to put that together. We in Beaver nation realize that we have really embraced the transfer portal during the whole year, not just the time since the end of football season.

Yes , Numbnutz is a real ‘homer’ piece of work !
He has already awarded the NC to the runway models !
We should prank him on April 1 this year , he will bite like a starved lion!
I feel like the ducks are about to experience some real transfer turnover since they got the first 8 star commits in the history of college football , and at all skill positions , RB, QB, WR’s !

I agree that transfers should count as well. It's kind of dumb that they rerate the transfers lower too. They should go back and rerate the classes after 4 years or something. It would be interesting to see how accurate the ratings are and who is actually recruiting the best and not just hype.

Well recruiting should be by wins and losses. Not stars. Now if we were 5-2 I would agree He is doing more with average players. 2-5 is poor period. I watched every game. I do not give a rip about participation. I care if we win. Win our share and I am happy. Improvement is a relative thing. I remember Pettibones teams flirted with 500 but NEVER achieved even that. Wow have we gotten used to losing yet?
I really am amazed at how we get angry over duck recruiting. They recruit. They are not good at building a Team. You must not have a revolving door like they do. Sure would like some of the specimens they have.

You must not have a revolving door like they do. Sure would like some of the specimens they have. You make some valid points, but elite highly recruited players (like the ducks compete for) are almost always going to the schools with long term winning traditions. I think we will have to "over achieve" with some of our classes and reach a bowl game or two. That will turnaround our recruiting fortunes.
The Derek Anderson's, Steven Jackson's etc. all came on board after the Fiesta Bowl win over the Irish and all the notoriety and press that came with that win.
I am not "angry" about duck recruiting. I feel strongly they do less with more than any team in the Pac-12. I'm not sure what Cristobal is selling those kids on, but most sure don't seem very loyal to the team. Just a conduit to the NFL for a rare few.
High profile offensive and especially defensive lineman are the most difficult position to get "Blue Chip" players out of High School. We've gotten very few, being forced to develop our lineman. If the trench players Coach Smith recruits don't pan out after 4-5 years of recruting, then surely our record will reflect that.

DA was recruited during the Fiesta Bowl season. His grandparents attended the home games that season and sat in the row in front of us. |
