Spring practice weekends in Eugene tend to follow a familiar rhythm.
Recruits arrive with a list of questions. Coaches present their vision. Players show them what the program looks like when the cameras are not rolling and the games are still months away.

It is not just about who made the trip. It is about which relationships deepened, which prospects began to picture themselves in the program, and which recruitments quietly shifted direction after spending a few hours inside the building.
