Is Oregon Focusing too much on National Recruits?

    Ed is right. Besides, Oregon is still recruiting heavily in California -- 10 players in the incoming recruiting class hail from Calif.

    I guess that poll tells it all. 91% think we are doing just fine. The reality is we have hit and missed on local, socal, nocal, and national recruits. It's an imperfect science involving teenagers, and we are still "not quite there yet" like the big boys. We still take less and do more with it than most universities. I can't remember us ever having a top 10 recruiting class and we have finished there in the polls almost half the time for the past decade or so. The fast pace, cutting edge, in your face attitude of the UO AD is not contrary with Eugene style, just simply different and beloved! Duck fans are closer to the program than ever because interest is at an all time high. Yes some older "lifers" may feel disconnected more than before, but there are 10-15 new fans that feel connected for every one that feels less connected. Don't believe me...try and get a ticket for a game! Longest sellout streak in the PAC.
    GO DUCKS!!!!
