Definitely. I think he would show improvement under Stein like TT did (or even at a faster rate). I don't know who Chip Kelly has on his staff but when he was at Oregon he was certainly helped out on QB development by Helfrich and Scott Frost.

Should he sign Oregon it will be interesting to see how he acclimates. Stein's offense is always marketed as "quarterback friendly"...if Moore does better in Eugene that might reflect that either Moore/Kelly offense was a bad fit or Kelly's Bruin offense may not be as good as advertised.

If that is true, that's a very interesting 180 since last season with him chasing after starter minutes right out of school. I suppose taking so many lumps in that experience may have made him realize he needed more time than jumping straight into the deep end. If he does commit, that does plug up a gaping hole in the QB room...as much as I like Novasad I don't think he's ready for real playing time should Gabriel go down with an injury. Moore would have just enough for Oregon to survive a few games in that scenario. The burning question for me is if Moore decides to come to Eugene, how does that affect the recruitment of Akili Smith Jr.?

Very cool, that's big of Bucky to still participate! I hope he's fully healed up by January 1st. He was likely hiding an injury for the Pac12 championship as he definitely not his normal self in that game.

That kind of size demands two linemen to keep him in check. Book'em Dano!

That sucks. He's got the prototypical size we would've needed at RB going into the B10. I think Noah Whittington getting injured and announcing that he's returning next season probably was a factor as well.

TT was really more a victim of circumstance. The college football world for high end programs is always in a "win now" mode. That means if your number is called you better be ready to show the coaches you can do the job well. But TT's development was hampered by Cristobal, mainly because he just doesn't care (or is exceedingly bad) about developing QBs. So that put him 2 years behind what you expect his skillset should have developed to be. Throw in on top of that Bo transferring in and becoming the QB that he is now, there was no chance to start at all...though he did start getting more on field time since Oregon blew out more teams during the past 2 seasons than Cristobal did in his entire tenure at Oregon. He was clearly improving under Dillingham and Stein, just not enough to make him the best option going foward. IMHO I think his best choice right now is actually to head over to Corvallis, where I presume they're going to stick with a pro-style offense similar to what Jonathan Smith was running. He can hone his skills against MWC opponents for a year then transfer to a P4 school for his final season.

Oh boy, if that happens break out the popcorn!

After Gabriel committed I think we all expected this. I wish him well and hope he lands at a good place where he can finally get some playing time.

Dillon Gabriel and Walter Nolan are the two biggest priorities right now. Seems like there's a distinct possibility both will commit to Oregon this weekend.

True but he's also taking another S&C assistant with him as well.

Darn you Jeff! Oregon reportedly losing key support staffer to SEC program SATURDAYOUTWEST.COM Oregon is losing one of its top sports performance assistants to an SEC program.

This one IMHO is quietly important. We need a replacement for Evan Bennett and Andrew could be it.

Given CU's inability to develop quite literally any of the OL this season it'll be interesting to see what happens with him.

I surmise that Moore really means that wants to be developed *while* he starts...so I doubt he'll come to Oregon to sit behind Gabriel. OBD bringing in just Gabriel is the most likely scenario, I just don't know if TT will stick around for that at this point. Feels like a 50/50 shot he'll go into the portal and Novasad becomes QB2 by default.

Evidently development is not high on this kid's list of priorities. Good luck to him.

Well deserved, LaMichael was an absolute beast on the field!

Yeah, it was a rather quiet exit, easy to miss.

Nope, he already transferred out. Just Florance now.

You can definitely see why Dan Lanning recruited hard at DL and DB the last two cycles.

30 passing TDs vs 6 INTs, not bad. Add to that 12 rushing TDs, that's plenty of offense to bring to OBD. He was sacked 16 times this season though, so behind Oregon's stellar OL he would have even better stats I would think.

This one's a bit of a surprise.

A good senior season highlight reel of Dillon. Things I noticed: - Solid pocket presence. He doesn't panic when the pocket collapses, his foot speed looks similar to Nix however when scrambling feels more elusive like Vernon. - Despite being listed at 5'11" his arm strength and accuracy would be more than sufficient for Will Stein's bird bomb plays.

Cautious optimism from me given that it's a visit, not a commitment. That being said, if things work out he could be a better version of Vernon Adams. I'll take that all day long.

He'd obviously be a HUGE pick up and I hope it happens. DL also should do what he can to pick up Walter Nolen.
