He is a Duck! Woohoo!

With that plus the already known fact that Lanning is an elite recruiter, THANK YOU Miami for paying us $9M to upgrade our Duck coach!

I thought the same thing of Terrell. He also received better honors as a kick returner and WR vs CB. Either way, he is BLAZING fast.

Changing my opinion. Iuli comes to Oregon!

Also gonna guess both these guys pick Oregon

My guess says James to Oregon, Broadingham to FLA, Iuli to Miami, Miller to GA. So glad to get Jahlil! He is a baller.

Me2!!!

If you’d like to re-live it. Volume up!

And the walk-off overtime TD vs the Huskies, with a high school senior Kayvon in attendance. KT said that moment with the Autzen crowd noise is what convinced him to be a Duck.

Probably true. But at least 4 generations of Nordstrom billionaires are all UW graduates… OSU had Betty Crocker and Bozo the Clown as alums

I can appreciate that this was at least part of the reason. I sense it wasn’t the only reason. This one hurts from what he and his brother brought as legacies of toughness and desire. That said, I am now stoked to see more speed. Must be why Dollars and Seven were convinced to stay by Lanning & Dilly in terms of that type of RB role in their offense. I am not convinced that Verdell is going to play…

1. Chose to stay at…..Toledo 2. Chose to pass up raise to $1.8M 3. Chose to not have Mario as his boss who will keep thumb on the offense The word is out

Dye also entering portal (and not NFL draft) suggests maybe he and Benson know something about Verdell’s return. Seven and Dollars also took portal looks. But I thought there was concern still on CJ’s injury? Unless they are that scared of Cardwell. Either way, maybe a good sign somewhere in this news…

Dollars makes no cents

And of course the UW fans are all over social media saying he sucks.lol

This

Agreed. With the way the puppy fans turn on their own (see Roberts et al) their proclaims of loyalty sure wring hypocritical. If I were a recruit and their family, that sour fan base would be a huge red flag. So let them chase good people away. Saw it firsthand. My kid was recruited at UW (not football) and despite being offered, went elsewhere because of the feeling of the whole culture.

The author 3 separate times incorrectly takes it as a given that transferring to San Diego State and Mountain West is a step down from UW. “Sour grapes” much?! Aztecs won 12 games including over Utah. They won 10 games in the prior normal season (2019) including at UCLA by 9 points. Mountain West is 5-1 in bowl games including a beat down of Oregon State, who beat the Huskies. That same MWC team won at WSU, who also beat down UW. SDSU and other top MWC teams are absolutely > UW right now. Players and their families certainly think so.

Ducks likely win this game if had even an average amount of normal defensive 2 deep available.

Unfortunately, Seattle does not own that pick. Traded 2 first round picks to Jets for Jamal Adams.

I can translate coach speak. What he actually said is yep I am gone to Miami. Almost the same line Mario used before the Pac12 title game.

This is a great reflection of what we have to be thankful for. Same with Mario. Despite clear deficiencies so am glad Lanning is here…Mario did go undefeated against UW and the LA schools, got our best road win ever (tOSU), 2 Pac12 titles, and a Rose Bowl win. Those are to be appreciated (though I am glad he is gone).

That wide receivers are actually a thing

Correct, I meant the immediate transfer part. They can go back to sit out a year requirement, etc. Under current arrangement, this could de-value good recruiters and be about money buying players even mid season. As yep the NIL pay for play ship has sailed. But we can control transfer rules/timing.
