Charles Fischer Administrator No. 1 Share Posted June 3 There is quite a bit in there, and the fascinating part is his commitment to building bonds by having trips and events as a group. The minivan is one part, but he plans retreats with the team, and this is something I've never heard from an Oregon QB. Quite a guy.... I did not know that he was acquainted with Lanning from years before... ---------------------------------------- Gabriel’s history with Oregon coach Dan Lanning goes back to his time as a prep star at Mililani. After his recruitment caught fire late in the process, he was invited to visit Georgia, where Lanning was the defensive coordinator. They saw everything eye-to-eye then, but their paths, once diverged, reconnected in the lush green landscape in Oregon. Proven commodities are what Lanning wants. He had it with Nix after being hired as Oregon’s head coach and has it again in Gabriel. After starting two years for the Ducks following his transfer from Auburn, Nix broke the NCAA record for most starts by a quarterback with 61. Gabriel enters his final year with 49 career starts, so if things play out the way they believe they can, another Ducks QB will be atop that list. “Dillon had a clear vision, and having some of the experience that he’s had, I think he had an idea of what he wanted,” Lanning said. “Part of that process is knowing what quarterbacks have done here in the past. Our proof is in the pudding, and now we have the pudding to show to people.” ---------------------------------------------- 2 2 Mr. FishDuck Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
