Oregon had long been in the running for 2024 5-star EDGE prospect Elijah Rushing from Tuscon, AZ. He was in line to be Oregon's first 5-star commitment of the 2024 recruiting cycle, but Dan Lanning and his staff saw him instead commit to the Arizona Wildcats and head coach Jedd Fisch.

On today's episode of Locked on Ducks, Spencer McLaughlin lays out several points reacting to a rare piece of disappointing news for the Ducks on the recruiting trail. Oregon did land another blue chip prospect in 4-star LB Dylan Williams from the state of California, reflecting the Ducks' continuing position of strength on the trail.

Spencer also discusses the ability of the last 2 Oregon coaching staffs (this one and the previous one) to evaluate talent to bring in from the high school ranks. Even the best programs in the country can't evaluate high-level high school talent with a 100% success rate
