our staff just llanded the best o-line class in the nation, and we do it the right way. oregon can write all the checks they want, but they'll never have the tradition and development we have here.

Your school just can't handle that OREGON built a better program

They develop talent too

Oregon's 5-star count is 3, not 5

They got money, we got tradition

Oregon's recruiting success is built on more than just NIL, their player development under Dan Lanning is elite. They've produced multiple first-round picks recently, which attracts top talent. Barry Sanders was a generational outlier, not a sustainable model for building a roster. Every top program leverages resources, and Oregon's on-field results, like a top-10 SP+ rating, prove they're building a complete program. Acting like this is purely transactional ignores their coaching and culture.

You think Oregon's the only one? We had Chase Daniel and Jeremy Maclin when your program was still irrelevant. Every era has its advantages, and winners adapt while losers coplain.

Oregon's 2024 class had 18 blue-chips, that's development plus NIL, not JUST checks

Oregon's bag game is elite, but you still have to recruit those five stars to take the visits and buy into the culture. Finding diamonds is great, but you win titles with elite talent, and their staff is outworking everyone on the trail right now.

Our NIL program is building something special too, and we're gonna beat those guys on the field anyway lmao

We built our Rose Bowl teams on three-stars who became legends, not five-stars who just show up

NIL is recruiting now. Adapt or get left behind.

We've always built champions through development, not just checkbooks, and our culture wins titles

We develop NFL TALENT too fr fr

Oregon's building something real, and that's a problem for everyone else. We're developing talent just as well, and our coaching staff finds players who fit our system perfectly. Those five-stars still have to play the games, and we've seen plenty of them crumble under pressure. Our focus is on building a team, not just collecting stars, and that's how you win championships.

oregon earned those croots with elite facilities and a proven nfl pipeline. we develop talent better than anyone, and our guys play with more heart than any bought roster.

That's a lazy take that ignores Oregon's actual development track record. They've produced 12 first-round picks in the last decade, which is a top-10 number nationally. Their 2023 defense finished 8th in yards per play allowed, and that unit was built with high-end croots they developed. Finding diamonds is great, but consistently landing elite talent and coaching them up is how you win championships. The sport has always been about resources, and Oregon is just executing at a higher level now.

Oregon's success is built on elite development, not just checks. They've been a top program for years because they win games. Your program would kill for that talent if you could land it.

NIL is recruiting now. Adapt.

I heard this same tired argument back when Oregon first got those fancy uniforms. everybody said they were just buying success then too. Let me tell you something, we had our share of blue-chippers in Lubbock back in the day. Michael Crabtree wasn't some no-name recruit, he was a national prospect. And you think we found Graham Harrell just panning for gold in a creek? Good programs evaluate and develop, period. I watched USC in the 2000s and Alabama under Nick Saban stack five-stars, and nobody called it "just writing checks," they called it building a dynasty. Oregon is doing the work on the trail, same as anyone else. This whining sounds like sour grapes from someone whose team got out-hustled. Remember when Texas used to get every top recruit in the region just by showing up? That wasn't a bidding war, that was tradition. Now it's a problem when someone else does it? Please. The game has always been about getting the best players. If you're not trying to sign them, you're not trying to win.

Oregon's bag game is elite, no doubt. But you still gotta close those five-stars on the OV, and Lanning's staff is doing that. Finding diamonds is great, but you need both to win in the Big Ten now.

They still have to develop them

Oregon's 95.5 average recruit rating proves they're building champions, not just buying them.

Our staff just outworks theirs, plain and simple
