Bump! Who's packing their bags and heading to UW? Gotta be some info by now...

How many Oregon runners are hoping to follow the Powells to Washington?

I bet we see these runners make the move:

Women: Katie Rainsberger, Jess Hull, Lilly Burdon

Men: Brodey Hasty, Levi Thomet (and maybe) Cooper Teare

Who else ya got?

BTW, here's my thinking:

1. Distance only (middle distance, etc. not as directly affected)

2. Have to be a direct recruit; if a runner transferred to Oregon less likely they'd transfer again (Amanda Gehrich, etc.)

3. Powells won't have a ton of money right away (guessing that there's not much (if any) left in the pot now), so we might see more moves next year.

4. Powells are clearly transfer-friendly per previous recruiting history

Well you were right about Hasty de-committing, just didn't get the school right.

Did Rainsberger make it official yet?

LOL Why transfer from Track Town U.S.A Oregon to Washington talk about a huge step down has Washington ever been good at Track and field? any at all NCAA team Championship for either Washington men or Women? Oregon has a lot of NCAA Championships :) GO DUCKS and Huck the Fuskies.

Because the school is better and the Powells went there.

EXACTLY

Pretty simple really. UW has (way) better academics, and if you were recruited by the Powells, you probably want to stick with them. New Oregon coaches look promising, but if you have a good relationship with your coach you definitely want to keep it going and not wait to see what the new coaches are like.

Plus Seattle > Eugene every day.

I find that many sports fans are not aware of academics. They associate athletic reputation with academic reputation. I had a group of guys tell me that they had never heard of Brown.

For theycallmeflopro, I've no doubt that is the case.

I've never heard of Brown either.

This has always been the mystery about Oregon’s men’s program... how they get all these national class guys in distance, sprints, and field events on only 12.6 scholarships. And most of them are from out of state so we’re talking a big tuition bill even with a partial athletic scholarship.

Again, if this were truly the case, they wouldn't suck so bad. Really if you take one single athlete, Edward Cheserek, off the results from the past 5 years, then the Ducks plain suck.

All thus drivel about OU supremacy is false. All this "talent" hasn't produced any "dominance", just fake news.

true enough-take those individual titles that Ches won, mens performance in distance/cross nothing great in their own conference compared to Colorado, Stanford etc...

is Kate Murphy still alive?

Where is he going?

What a bunch nitwits! Don't you all know that Brown is a term used to refer to the delivery service called UPS? Sheeeesh!

Lots of Ducks missing from today's released roster...

Who's missing?

It looks like they ARE following their coaches. Can't blame them. I also wonder if not having a track for 2019 is also a factor. I heard that even the Pre Classic is going to be held out at LCC! (You'd think they would move it to Portland or something for 2019, or even better for publicity, to Coos Bay where Pre went to high school)

I still think the NAU distance coach would have been a great asset for UO, he probably wasn't interested in being an "associate head coach". The coaches they hired will be good, though.

Recruiting will be back on top once the new stadium is completed. Even though the design is FLAWED for spectators; no cover from the rain, and like ants under a microscope in the sun. It looks pretty, though.

look for oregon to dominate UW distance. This year, with all the transfers, UW should be better but moving forward Oregon will consistently beat them. Oregon traded up, they got better coaches than they lost.

Meh. Those who left traded up re: their degrees.
