As the 168-day evaluation period comes to a close, The Oregonian/OregonLive asked seven prominent high school coaches and private instructors in the state to give their feedback on how well Oregon, Oregon State and Portland State do at identifying in-state talent that fits their program and building relationships with area high schools.
The coaches' names have been substituted with a letter of the alphabet, so coaches could speak freely about each college without fear of possibly burning a bridge for their athletes. Each person interviewed is a prominent personality in high school football and has worked with all levels of future college football talent.
