Oregon’s secondary now features four Southern California players: Dakoda Fields (Gardena Serra), Peyton Woodyard (St. John Bosco), Solomon Davis (Charter Oak) and Rodrick Pleasant (Gardena Serra).
Woodyard committed last week after spending this semester at Alabama. Among this group, I’d say Fields and Woodyard are the two to watch.
It shows that however Oregon recruits nationally, it is still focused hard on Southern California. And to be fair, all were recruited by USC during the Donte Williams Era, which helped Oregon.
- USC’s hiring of Eric Musselman received a grade of A- from The Field of 68 panel. Ironically, Arkansas got a B+ for hiring John Calipari.
- USC’s quest for a wide receiver has seen it recruit Eli Aragon of Ventura College. He caught 62 passes for 753 yards and went to Oxnard High School.
- Molly Phillips won an NCAA title at Texas in women’s volleyball in December and a couple weeks later transferred to USC, where she joined the beach volleyball team that won an NCAA title last weekend. She is the second player to win a NCAA title in both indoor and beach volleyball, and the first to do so in the same academic year.

Oregon’s tactic of ‘paying whatever it takes’ to snatch Southern California kids does remind me of the McKay days when he would stockpile recruits so that Stanford wouldn’t get them

It is hard, these days, to recruit against WhOregon. When you have an alum worth $86 billion, and whose complete passion is his alma Matre, and who is willing to outbid anyone for the top players. There has to be some control put on this NIL crap.

Wofie reports that Muzzlleman got an A- (so far) but missed informing us that his ‘Thanks Enfield’ got a C-
I think over the years Wolf’s reporting has ‘lost a step or two’

So Phil Knight is worth $86 billion and would rather spend it on manipulating college football rosters than on more worth causes such as hospitals or medical research. That is his choice but seems rather shallow. And why can’t these professional agitators protest against Nike’s exploitation of Chinese slave labor. Seems like a better cause then supporting an antisemitic terrorist group. Someone get Soros on the phone and pitch the idea. Do it for the team.

Was reading that some heirs to the Hyatt money as well as the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation were giving money to these radicals.
Uncle Phil doesn’t care about you, his Chinese labor or anything else, he wants your money for shoes, shirts and whatever.
College football needs a salary cap, doubt they do it, soon about 50 schools will have a football team, the rest won’t be able to afford it. Why would a network pony up big money to show games from the MWC or any other non power 5 conference.

I heard they traced a $100,000 payment from the Ford Foundation to the Columbia agitators. If this is accurate, anyone damaged by the agitators should go after the Foundation. Agree that we need a salary cap and a limit on the number of times a player can transfer to a power 5 school. Should be one time, and another if you reach graduate status.

NIL has created a new 3 tier system —- Oregon is in tier #1, USC is in tier #2 …..and UCLA is in tier #3.
No Tier 1 team should ever lose to a Tier 2 team
No Tier 2 team should ever lose to a Tier 3 team……

Plow Horse — agree with the concept of a civil suit against Ford Foundation. Battery & Vandalism was completely foreseeable [thereby creating the basis for a culpable negligence action]. The corrupt Justice Department will never address this problem — but a private injured party could and should.

Clearly, the USC alumni isn’t as committed to the cause of college football supremacy as Oregon is. It is apparent that the real donors to USC athletics have passed away and left a bunch of ventriloquists who speak a good name without spending the same.
