‘He’s a really special talent;’ Dan Lanning comments on addition of 4-star WR Kyler Kasper

“It’s not just because of his talent, it’s because he works hard.” Dan Lanning is excited about the addition of 4-star WR Kyler Kasper.

[jwplayer KJtVJdtb]

Late on Sunday morning, the Oregon Ducks head coach Dan Lanning tweeted out a duck emoji on Twitter.

Loyal fans of the program knew what it meant, and a lot of them were already busy celebrating the news that 4-star wide receiver Kyler Kasper had announced his commitment to join the Oregon Ducks. The exciting news that Kasper would reclassify to the 2022 class and join the Ducks this summer came soon after, which was a cherry on top of the Easter Sunday.

Later that day it was announced that Kasper officially signed with the Ducks, giving the coaching staff clearance to discuss what his addition means for the program. On Tuesday afternoon during the media availability, Lanning talked about what Kasper can bring to the program.

“I’m really excited about Kyler,” Lanning said. “You know, big catch radius, you know, obviously phenomenal family, really special talent build that works really hard and has a pedigree. But it’s not just because of his talent. It’s because of how hard he works.”

Going into his commitment announcement, there was a feeling that Kasper, the son of 8-year NFL veteran Kevin Kasper, was going to pick the Ducks. He had grown fond of them over the duration of multiple visits earlier this spring, and though the Tennessee Volunteers made a late run at him, the declaration that he would be joining the Ducks wasn’t a massive shock.

The news that he would be graduating early and moving to Eugene later this year, however, was a pleasant surprise.

“I think it’s more and more that you’re going to see guys graduating earlier,” Lanning said. “Obviously, in the last few years it’s been more mid-year, but if the guy puts himself in the position and they’re ready to go play college football, I think it makes sense for certain guys. Each person is a case-by-case basis.”

Oregon’s wide receiver room will benefit from the 6-foot-5 frame that Kasper brings, and though he will have a lot of work to do in order to get accustomed to the college game as a would-be high school senior, it will be exciting to see him do that with the Ducks.

Oregon Ducks make cut for 5-star WR Shelton Sampson Jr.

5-star Shelton Sampson, the No. 3 WR in the 2023 class, included the Oregon Ducks in his top-6.

[jwplayer KJtVJdtb]

It’s hard to imagine a five-star wide receiver from the state of Louisiana going somewhere other than LSU to play his college ball, but the Oregon Ducks are certainly going to try to make that happen.

On Monday, Shelton Samson Jr., the No. 3 WR in the 2023 class and No. 32 player overall, listed the Ducks in his top six, which in itself should be considered a huge win for Dan Lanning and Oregon. The Ducks were listed alongside the LSU Tigers, Texas A&M Aggies, Florida State Seminoles, Alabama Crimson Tide and Michigan Wolverines.

Sampson stands 6-foot-4, 190 pounds and is the second-best player in the state of Louisiana. He hasn’t visited Eugene to see the facilities and meet the coaching staff, but you can expect that will come at some point this spring or potentially in the fall.

Breaking: Former Colorado PG Keeshawn Barthelemy commits to Oregon Ducks

Big addition to the back-court for Oregon in 2022. Former CU Buffs point guard Keeshawn Barthelemy announced his transfer to the Ducks.

[jwplayer KJtVJdtb]

The backcourt for the Oregon Ducks got some much-needed experience in 2022 on Monday.

Former Colorado Buffaloes point guard Keeshawn Barthelemy announced that he would be committing to the Ducks for the 2022 season. Barthelemy will now join players like De’Vion Harmon, Dior Johnson, Tyrone Williams, and Brennan Rigsby going into the season.

There’s also a chance that Oregon has more guards to work with, as we await word from Will Richardson and Rivaldo Soares as they ponder a return to Eugene next season.

Barthelemy recently entered the transfer portal and took a trip to Eugene over the weekend. The 6-foot-2 guard, who was rated as a four-star recruit coming out of high school, had a breakout season in 2021-22 as he averaged 11 points a game and shot nearly 35 percent from the three-point line. The improvement from his freshman season to this past year was noticeable. Barthelemy played in every game as a freshman and averaged just below four points a contest.

No. 2 Oregon women’s golf hold strong through tough first day of Pac-12 Championships

Despite holding a home-course advantage, the Oregon Ducks sit in 5th place at the Pac-12 Championships after the first round.

[jwplayer keaYdjlV]

The Oregon Ducks women’s golf team was supposed to have a nice home-course advantage this year at the Pac-12 Championships, which are being held at the Eugene Country Club. The forecast called for cloudy skies and showers throughout the week, which head coach Derek Radley correctly described over the weekend as “Duck weather.”

Some high winds throughout Eugene mitigated that advantage, though. The No. 2 Ducks stayed afloat, but struggled to perform as they had expected coming into the day.

Following the first round, Oregon sits at No. 5 in the standings after carding a 295 (+7).

The top-ranked Stanford Cardinal led after 18 holes, carding a 290 (+2). The rest of the top-5 is rounded out with USC (292, +4), Washington (294, +6), and Arizona State (294, +6).

“Today was tough when that wind picked up; normally if it gets a little wet out here it’s never really windy,” UO coach Derek Radley said, via Rob Moseley. “So I was seeing some balls out there kind of in some spots that I don’t normally see. The next two days though, the wind is supposed to die down even if it’s supposed to rain, and that’ll be our comfort zone.”

Hsin-Yu (Cynthia) Lu led the Ducks with an even-par round of 72, and she currently sits at No. 5 on the individual leaderboard. Tze-Han (Heather) Lin and Ching-Tzu Chen shot 2-over 74 and Briana Chacon finished at 3-over 75.

Team Leaderboard

1. Stanford — 290 (+2)
2. Southern California — 292 (+4)
T3. Washington —­ 294 (+6)
T3. Arizona State —­ 294 (+6)
5. Oregon — 295 (+7)
T6. Oregon State — 296 (+8)
T6. UCLA — 296 (+8)
8. Colorado — 302 (+14)
T9. Washington State — 305 (+17)
T9. Arizona — 305 (+17)
11. California — 313 (+25)

Going into the second round, there are six teams within 6-strokes of Stanford’s lead, so the leaderboard should see a lot of movement before all is said and done after the 54-hole tournament is concluded on Thursday.

“It’s pretty remarkable how many teams are bunched up right now,” Radley said. “We’re really all together. Obviously not the start we wanted; however, I kind of love where we’re at with two days to go. Excited just to recap together, figure out what’s wrong in some spots and figure out how to capitalize the next two days.”

Eric Williams to forego final year of eligibility to begin pro career

Former Oregon Ducks guard Eric Williams announced on Twitter he plans to forego his final year of NCAA eligibility and hire an agent.

[jwplayer oSIhhUd1]

Former Oregon Ducks wing Eric Williams officially closed the door on his college career Sunday evening, revealing in a tweet that he is planning to forego his final year of eligibility and will hire an agent to help him begin his professional career.

Williams had already made it clear he was not planning to return to Oregon, stating in late March that he was entering the transfer portal and didn’t (at that time) have plans to sign with an agent so he could keep his options open.

Now it looks like the 6’6 combo guard will be entering the NBA draft process after averaging 8.4 points, 4.6 rebounds, and 1.2 assists for Oregon in his final season.

Williams began his collegiate career at Duquesne, where he played two seasons before transferring to Oregon, sitting out in 2019-20, and then playing a big role in each of the past two seasons for coach Dana Altman.

Williams will be a tough player to replace in Eugene, although there are a handful of talented wing players available via the transfer portal that Altman and his staff no doubt have their eyes on.

Breaking: 4-star WR Kyler Kasper commits to Oregon Ducks

Big-time commitment for the Ducks. Kyler Kasper, a 6-foot-5, 4-star WR is coming to Eugene in 2023.

[jwplayer oXmJcGLx]

The receiver talent in Eugene just got a major boost for the class of 2023.

On Sunday morning, 4-star wide receiver Kyler Kasper announced that he will be committing to the Oregon Ducks and joining the 2023 class of commits. Kasper is a 6-foot-5, 195-pound WR from Gilbert, AZ. He is ranked by 247Sports as the No. 20 WR in the 2023 class, and No. 125 player overall.

Kasper made a number of trips to Eugene over the past several months with his father, Kevin Kasper, who was an 8-year NFL veteran. In the end, Kasper chose the Ducks over teams like the Tennessee Volunteers and Iowa Hawkeyes.

Kasper now joins an Oregon 2023 recruiting class that includes 4-star CB Cole Martin and 3-star DL Tevita Pome’e. With the addition of Kasper, the Ducks now have the third-best class in the Pac-12, trailing the Colorado Buffaloes and USC Trojans.

Oregon coaching staff impressed by WR Justius Lowe after being ‘thrown into the fire’

Ducks WR Justius Lowe was thrown into the deep end and asked to swim this spring. The Oregon coaches have been impressed thus far.

[jwplayer rKN7sz1K]

Take a trip back in time to the spring of your senior year of high school. You may have been getting ready for prom or feverishly applying for colleges and hoping to get that acceptance letter.

For Oregon Ducks wide receiver Justius Lowe, that spring has gone a bit differently. After enrolling early with the Ducks, Lowe, a Portland native, has spent his past couple of months in Eugene getting used to college life. While it’s one thing to pick up and move to a new town, it’s another to throw in a season of spring football on top of that.

[lawrence-related id=22764]

Lowe is being thrown into the deep end and asked to swim when it comes to that matter. After picking up football late in his career, Lowe impressed college recruiters and earn a four-star rating despite his relative lack of experience. Much of that was based on his intangibles and athleticism, not to mention his impressive track abilities.

At Oregon, he is being asked to hold his own against players who have lived and breathed football as long as they could walk. Early reports out of spring camp are that he is adapting adequately.

“Justius has been good,” said wide receivers coach Junior Adams. “Just to graduate early and be able to get here for spring ball, and I want to say his second or third day being here he was in pads and making plays.”

[lawrence-related id=22705]

That hasn’t been without some growing pains, though. Adams remarked the first couple of days were tough for Lowe to get into the groove. Understandably so, as the college game is faster and more physical than the high school game, regardless of how much experience you have.

“His first play, I’ll never forget it — he had a ball over the middle and doinks him off the head, and we see him respond the next time and makes a play. That’s how Justius is. Since he’s gotten here, he’s progressed, and steadily gotten better and competed. I can’t even imagine what it’s like being in his shoes coming in and being thrown into the fire and being able to adjust. He’s been impressive that way.”

It’s not just the receivers coach Lowe is impressing, but the top man himself. When I asked head coach Dan Lanning on Saturday what he’s seen from the Lake Oswego prospect over the past few weeks, Lanning remarked he actually made note of how Lowe played in Saturday’s scrimmage and the progress he showed.

[lawrence-related id=22718]

“He’s actually a guy I made a note on today because he’s had some tough days early coming on and I thought he made a stand, you know, a big improvement today,” Lanning said. “He got some competitive balls, played physical at times. So I was excited to see that from him, looking for him to continue to progress.” 

While Oregon’s WR room is young, there is a lot of talent looking for minutes on the field. At the top of the depth chart are guys like Troy Franklin, Dont’e Thornton, Kris Hutson, Chase Cota, and Seven McGee. Then there are proven assets like Isaah Crocker and Josh Delgado fighting to get their reps. With all of that in front of him, it’s hard to say how quickly we will see Lowe get onto the field for the Ducks.

However, if he continues to improve at the rate he is and pick up the nuances of the sport in such a rapid fashion, there’s a good chance we will be hearing his name over the loudspeaker at Autzen Stadium sooner than we think.

Dan Lanning reveals format for Oregon Ducks spring game

We now know the format for Oregon’s spring game on April 23. Fans of traditional scrimmages will be thrilled.

[jwplayer keaYdjlV]

It used to be that when a college football team lined up on a Saturday afternoon in April to showcase its improvement over the offseason, you could expect to see virtually what you would see on a Saturday afternoon in September — two teams made up of offense, defense and special teams getting after it in game-like fashion until a winner is declared.

Spring football over the past decade has strayed from that, though. Now, it’s almost as common to see the offense play the defense with a scoring system that rewards the defenders for things such as sacks, stops on third down and turnovers. Some teams have thrown in gimmicks where they auction off the ability for a fan to call plays during the spring game, and other coaches have done away with the scrimmage altogether, opting for a public practice instead.

[lawrence-related id=22705]

With Oregon’s annual spring game just a week away, Dan Lanning informed everyone what the format is expected to be on Saturday, April 23.

“It will be very similar to a game format,” Lanning said on Saturday.

Short, sweet and to the point.

What Lanning means by that “game format” is the Ducks’ roster will be split into two teams consisting of an offense, defense and special teams. The teams will then play the game as you would any other week of the season and determine a winner in the end.

How will teams be decided though? Will coaches draft players? Will players choose which team they want to go with?

“We’ll split the teams up. We’ll talk about it this weekend,” Lanning.

[lawrence-related id=22764]

Never one to show his cards before he needs to, Lanning seems to be approaching his first game action at Oregon with an intention to avoid gimmicks. For him, it’s about the talent on the field and how the players perform. On top of that, there will be a number of highly rated recruits in Eugene for visits, so the desire to pack the crowd and create a game-like atmosphere has been stressed several times over at this point.

With the format that we are now expecting to see, a game-like atmosphere won’t be hard to replicate. We’ll get kickoffs and punts and third-down conversions. The green team will look to down the yellow team, and vice versa. Live football is coming back to Autzen Stadium.

2022 NFL Draft Profile: Fresno State CB DaRon Bland

Bland made a splash in his lone season with the Bulldogs, but has he shown enough to carve out a spot in the NFL?

2022 NFL Draft Profile: Fresno State CB DaRon Bland

Bland made a splash in his lone season with the Bulldogs, but has he shown enough to carve out a spot in the NFL?

Contact/Follow @MattK_FS & @MWCwire

Not just a one-year wonder.

DaRon Bland has been selected by the Dallas Cowboys with the 167th overall pick, in the fifth round of the NFL Draft.

It took a little while for cornerback DaRon Bland to emerge for the Fresno State Bulldogs last season but, in retrospect, perhaps it should not have.

Though he only spent one year with the team, he’d racked up plenty of accolades in his college career before that. A native of Modesto, California, Bland played for three years at FCS Sacramento State while also running track and built a reputation as a stingy defender, earning first-team all-Big Sky honors in both 2018 and 2019.

After COVID-19 wiped out the Hornets’ season in 2020, Bland took the opportunity to make the jump to the FBS level and more than held his own at Fresno State, breaking into the starting lineup after about a month and entrenching himself as the team’s best cornerback. The question now is whether NFL teams see enough in his tape to enable him to make one last jump to the pros.

Measurables (taken from Dane Brugler and Barkboard.com)

Height – 6′ and 1/4″
Weight – 197 pounds
40-yard time – 4.42 seconds
10-yard split time – 1.55 seconds
Arm length – 32″
Hand size – 9″
Wingspan – 76 3/4″
Vertical jump – 35 1/2″
Broad jump – 10′ and 3″ (or 123″)
Shuttle time – 4.15 seconds
3-cone drill time – 7.26 seconds
Bench press – 14 reps

Highlights

Strengths

One thing that many draft analysts agree upon regarding Bland is that he has size and physicality you can build upon. The Athletic’s Dane Brugler, for starters, noted that he “smothers receivers on the outside” while Venie Randy Soares of Turf Show Times believes he’s particularly well-suited to playing press man coverage.

He’s also a very willing tackler and, though he was asked to do so more at Sacramento State than at Fresno State, can attack the backfield and defend the run as a result: Bland had just one tackle for loss with the Bulldogs in 2021, but he had 9.5 TFLs across his two seasons as a starter with the Hornets and also racked up at least 40 total tackles in each of those three years.

Bland also had many of his best performances in high-pressure situations, as well: In Sacramento State’s 2019 FCS playoff loss to Austin Peay, for instance, he had two tackles for loss; against UCLA, he forced a fumble that halted a Bruins scoring threat in the second half. He also had a 101-yard interception against Boise State that was erased by penalty.

Add to that his prior experience on special teams — he returned punts at Sacramento State, as well — and there’s a good chance he’ll find more than one way to contribute in the NFL, a plus for his chances to stick.

Weaknesses

What most draft analysts seem to believe is that there’s still room for growth when it comes to refining the little things in cornerback play. Brugler points to improved “eye use and route recognition”, but Pro Football Network’s Tony Pauline cautions that there are still inefficiencies in the angles he takes while in coverage. In short, there are no glaring holes in Bland’s game, but his ultimate role will depend on tightening up those finer points, processing and reacting just a beat faster.

NFL Comparison

Taron Johnson

Draft Prediction

Bland isn’t someone being talked about a huge amount, but he has plenty of supporters in his corner like Cam Worrell, a former Bulldog who knows a thing or two about being a defensive back in the NFL. Teams will look at the upside and, though he may need some work out of the gate, it seems likely someone will like him enough not to let him get away. He’ll hear his name called in the later stages of Day 3, perhaps in the seventh round.

‘He’s coming in to compete;’ Dan Lanning reacts to Josh Conerly Jr. signing with Oregon Ducks

Oregon has a number of returning starters on the offensive line this year, but Lanning knows that Josh Conerly is coming to Eugene ready to compete.

[jwplayer rKN7sz1K]

Signed. Sealed. Delivery TBA.

A couple of weeks ago, five-star offensive tackle Josh Conerly, the top-unsigned player left in the 2022 recruiting class, shocked the college football world and committed to the Oregon Ducks. He chose Dan Lanning and Co. over Lincoln Riley and the USC Trojans.

Now that a couple of weeks have passed and Conerly has signed his national letter of intent with the Ducks, Lanning talked about the magnitude of the commitment and discuss what Conerly’s addition will mean for the team.

“I mean, I’m super excited for him to be a part of our program,” Lanning said on Saturday. “He’s obviously a special player, and we think a special talent that can make an impact for us.”

[lawrence-related id=22762]

While Conerly ranked as the No. 1 OT in the 2022 class, there may not be a clear-cut path for him to become a starter early in his Oregon career. The Ducks are starting the spring with a veteran group that has four returning starters. Despite that, Lanning knows that when Conerly does come to town, he’s going to compete hard for playing time on the field.

“I mean, you need a certain amount to operate but he’s not just a number by any means. He’s coming in to compete and be able to help us get better upfront.”

As the highest-rated OT to ever sign with the Ducks, and the eighth-highest ranked recruit in Oregon history, it doesn’t seem like we will have to wait very long to see Conerly on the field in Autzen Stadium. With that type of talent, it’s going to be hard to keep him off the field.
