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.

I think Arroyo was a better OC than most people give credit for. He was primarily stuck under MC's insistence on a ridiculously bad power run scheme...like the rest of the MC's coordinators, he did the best he could under that dark cloud and left as soon as possible.

Yup. Pac12 gets $4 million for Oregon getting into the Fiesta bowl.

Dillon Gabriel would be a really interesting get, in Will Stein's offense he would turn into a monster.

Something also to consider: DeBoer has been coaching for ages and may have reached his apex. Lanning is only in his 2nd year as HC and has come up short by an average of only 3 points....3. One coach is more likely than the other to keep improving significantly over the next 5 years. I like Oregon's position right now.

I get the feeling that Bucky was playing with an undisclosed injury. He just did not look like his dynamic self. Jordan James did ru more effectively but for reasons that escape me he wasn’t given more carries when Bucky was clearly struggling.
