I got no info for you Duck, but looks like you're feeling the wrath of 1 Slick Rick Neuweasel and 1 Slick Rick Dan Hawkins 1B. Those 2 guys can sell some slop, even if they can't coach worth a lick. I thought Belotti and Nike U could sell some slop?? I personally give Slick Rick at UCLA 2-3 years before Almighty Pete cries the violation foul card and UCLA is on probation, so don't worry about it. NU recruits in Cali to, against the Ducks a lot of times. Seeing Oregon go into the Midwest to get skill guys is a bit puzzling. I guess NU and the other Midwest schools better get used to the Ducks recruiting here. (I love NU, but if Bryce Brown is my kid and Oregon continues to run the offense they ran the past couple years, I strongly think about sending him to Oregon to run the ball in that offense. The proof is in the pudding, the RB is gettin the ball. Shannon's got that kid and his mentor brainwashed good. There's no way in hell I'd send my kid to go play in that offense, I don't care if it's an NFL offense, I'd want my kid playing in an established offense where the RB shines and the O-line is established.)
As for your WR recruiting problems, similar to NU's even though NU has been a passing team, what I've seen of Oregon is a spread option running team (NU should be running this offense in my personal opinion, I love your offense and Floridas). If I was a fan of Oregon, which I really don't care for Nike U, I would be stoked to see which direction your O is going. No team in your league runs this offense and it will be tough to prepare for. I've seen this offense for many, many years. Can't you see the writing on the wall with Frost coaching your WR's?? Unfortunately if you want star power at the WR recruiting slots, you might want to forget about it as PAC 10 schools, CU and others will negative recruit the hell out of Oregon stating all they will be doing is blocking with Frost Coaching them. You may not like it, but watch your offense in the future, check out this
. Not exactly like your offense, but very, very similar concepts with the spread game. TO's offense in 97, the one Frost ran was a precursor to the spread o Oregon and florida runs today. I hope you didn't fall in love with Oregon's passing game like you may have been brought up on, but how many championships has any northern school won passing the ball??
As for the Dawkins kid, Bo may have whiffed on him. Just because a skill guy plays in the state of Nebraska or Kansas with lower HS competition level doesn't mean jack at the college game. All the kids in Cali, Texas and Florida get all the pub, and deservedly so, but if Frost saw something on tape he liked or when he talked to the kid, I wouldn't down play it. Frost played with/against the elite of the elite athletes in college football, he also was one. I wouldn't worry about it and trust the coach, Frost will coach the kid up and DB's will hate to face him.
