Hopes crushed as Henry goes to Ohio State, so Oregon goes back to work

In the "Ducks vs Them" episode after the Washington game Dan Lanning said, "Winners talk about winning. Losers talk about winners."

The Ducks put on an incredible recruiting effort to try and flip Chris Henry Jr. from Ohio State. They maintained the relationship all through his process, and when the 6-5, 5-star receiver had second thoughts after Brian Hartline left the Buckeyes to become head coach at USF, they were ready with an updated offer.

The Buckeyes pressed hard to keep him. He got personal calls from Ryan Day, social media shoutouts from Jeremiah Smith, current NFL players, Julian Sayin.
