Oregon Football has seen one walk-on quarterback leave the program (AJ Abbott) while another has arrived from a team Duck fans have likely not heard since 2011. Missouri St, an FCS school, came to Autzen Stadium for a 56-7 trouncing 11 years ago and is now sending a player to the Ducks via the transfer portal. Jake Van Dyne will now serve as Oregon's fourth quarterback, a player that (if all goes according to plan) is unlikely to see meaningful action.

On today's episode of Locked On Ducks, Spencer McLaughlin dives into one of his most incorrect takes regarding Oregon Basketball: the return of Will Richardson. An undisputed positive for the Ducks, Richardson's decision to come back for a fifth season is demonstratively rare nowadays in college basketball. His career represents the exact type of player that every college basketball coach (including Dana Altman) is looking for on the recruiting trail.

The episode concludes with a mailbag question about NBA #ProDucks rotation player and former Oregon standout Payton Pritchard. He struggled mightily in the NBA Finals against the Warriors, but has been a productive backup point guard for the Boston Celtics through two seasons as a pro. With two years left on his rookie deal, he doesn't appear poised for a contract extension--but he DOES seem like someone who can consistently find a role on an NBA roster.
