Oregon has made another addition to its staff. This time it's a familiar name to those in the recruiting industry.

Mario Cristobal has hired former national recruiting scout Ryan Bartow to his staff. Bartow has had former stints with Rivals and 247Sports among others.

His listed title is 'director of high school relations' on the official Oregon site, GoDucks.com.

Bartow has extensive knowledge of high school and junior college coaches nationally. His primary function will be utilitzing those contacts to get Oregon information and film on up and coming recruits or perhaps overlooked prospects, aka 'sleepers.'

In the game of recruiting being able to identify under the radar talent or young talent provides a huge advantage over your competition. Adding someone with Bartow's connections can be a valuable addition in this regard.

Mario Cristobal continues to prove not only his vision for this Oregon program, but also his ability to think outside the box.
