Jhop Predicts: Running List of 2023 Oregon Predictions
As you are aware, with On3 we have the ability to make predictions on recruits. Our version is called ‘Recruiting Prediction Machine” or RPM for short. It is our version of the ‘Crystal Ball’ known on 247Sports.
In the past few years I’ve had a tendency to stay in my lane. Meaning mostly making picks in favor for Oregon on key Oregon targets. One of the keys to my picks is that I tend to not flip-flop my picks. I don’t have the number recorded, but it’s likely happened less than three times in the last few years. I usually set it and forget it like a Traeger.
At the moment, we don’t have a way to track an individual, so there is no way to search all of the picks I have made. In fact I might be missing some in this update. (Hopefully not.) But again, I’m only listing the 2023 recruiting predictions I’ve made that are NOT currently committed.
However, you now can track the latest predictions made on our network but still not by individual.
Since this last update, about a month ago, there have been some new predictions made. And unfortunately I’ve had to change picks on a few. Which I hate doing. But I believe at the moment I’ve got a 100% hit rate. (Don’t jinx it)
Here is an updated look at my picks made with the On3 network.
OL – Spencer Fano
RPM: Oregon 88.8%
My Pick: Oregon 75% (May 24)
Official Visit: N/A
I still feel good here, not great. Utah is definitely a threat being they got an official visit in June. Should Fano decide to hold off and make a decision later this Fall, I’ll feel better.
OL – Logan Reichert
RPM: Missouri 94.6%
My Pick: Missouri 75% (July 11)
Official Visit: June 18
Oregon was in good shape here initially but it would appear the two sides have moved apart.
OL – Alani Noa
RPM: USC 74%
My Pick: Oregon 80% (June 28)
Official Visit: June 24
One of the few I’ve gone back and forth on. And I might still end up getting it wrong. This one has been hard to read but I will admit, I don’t think I’ve been wrong. I just think he’s truly going back and forth.
EDGE – Colton Vasek
RPM: Texas 68.2%
My Pick: Oregon 65% (May 31)
Official Visit: June 17
This one was Oregon and Oklahoma, but Texas has climbed back in it. Now I’d say it could be any of the three. Tough one to read but I’ll keep my pick locked on Oregon, for now.
Def. Line – A’Mauri Washington
RPM: Oregon 83.3%
My Pick: 40% (April 26)
Official Visit: N/A
He talks a lot about Oregon. At least, that is when he talks, which isn’t often. But the Ducks have prioritized Washington since arriving, I know I’m only at 40% but I’m feeling relatively good about my pick still.
Def. Line: My’Keil Gardner
RPM: Michigan 78.1%
My Pick: Michigan 80% (June 29)
Official Visit: June 24
At one point this seemed like an Oregon lock. Now it looks like he’s Michigan’s to lose. Perhaps Oregon can pull out a surprise or make a move later this Fall.
LB: Blake Nichelson
RPM: Oregon 96.7%
My Pick: Oregon 70% (May 24)
Official Visit: June 24
Still feeling pretty good about my pick. I get the sense Nichelson might be one of those that makes a Summer decision possibly in July or August.
OL: Micah Banuelos
RPM: Oregon 41.6%
My Pick: Oregon 75% (June 28)
Official Visit: June 24
The Ducks seem to be the trending team here. Banuelos is set to commit at the end of the month of July.
EDGE: Blake Purchase
RPM: Oregon 83.8%
My Pick: Oregon 75% (June 30)
Official Visit: June 24
I really felt good about this one when Purchase came off his visit to Oregon and soon after planned to commit. Since then he’s backed off and hasn’t done much talking. We’ll see what happens with him now.
Def. Line: Terrance Green
RPM: Oregon 96.4%
My Pick: Oregon 85% (July 11)
Official Visit: June 24
Oregon is trending the right way here with Green set to announce on July 30. Let’s see if this one holds out the next couple of weeks.
