The Oregon Ducks have landed some outstanding recruits of late, and before we look at what is here and what is on the horizon I thought we should reflect a bit on how the current state of Oregon recruiting has come about - especially as it concerns football.
It was not so long ago that being able to recruit in the top 20 nationally was a really big deal. In the 2000s, the Ducks usually ended up ranking in the 30s nationally. The 2006 class was ranked 50(!) in the nation, although that was followed by a 2007 class that was ranked 14.
