Oregon Ducks Overview:

The Ducks have a legitimate shot at making this their best recruiting class ever. Playing in the National Championship game is never a bad thing when it comes to recruiting and the Ducks may have helped themselves out even with a loss to Ohio State. Oregon already has a good recruiting class with commitments from six 4-star players. However, the Ducks have the chance to land a ridiculously good recruiting class (and arguably their best ever) if they are able to snag commitments from the likes of 5-star kids John Houston, Rasheem Green, and Iman Marshall. Getting just one of those guys to sign with Oregon would be huge. Getting all three of them plus the addition of Donte Jackson? That's a game-changer folks. Oregon is a team to watch as we inch closer to Signing Day. They have the chance to make a lot of noise and could potentially flip another recruit before it's all said and done.


Oregon State Beavers Overview:

It definitely hasn't been the best recruiting year for Oregon State, but that's expected when you undergo a coaching change. OSU only has one guy verbally committed so far, but new head coach Gary Andersen still has time to make some noise and perhaps flip a commit or two before Signing Day gets here. The Beavers' likely won't make much noise this year on the recruiting trail (they are currently ranked #106th out of 129 teams with the next PAC-12 team being Utah at #57), but Andersen will have plenty of time to make some noise in Corvallis as next year's recruiting class will ultimately be what we judge the guy on.
