In addition, Oregon's 2026 class is essentially nailed down with very few flip targets to poach. Stein will be more worried about retaining the recruits that Stoops was going to bring to Kentucky. It's like when MariØ bolted to Miami and DL had to start from scratch to retain recruits and find gems (think Bo, Bucky and Gonzo) in the portal. I can't think of one high impact player that followed him to Oregon from Georgia. I could see Novosad and maybe some 3s and a second stringer or two heading east, but for the most part Stein will have to build it himself from the ground up.
12 hours ago12 hr No. Not sure he should stay, too much of a distraction with a lot of time before offs. Id regroup with one of the other offensive coaches.

No one is more locked in than DL.Go Ducks!
11 hours ago11 hr Moderator No. We'll miss you, Will, where the grass is damn green. Best of luck on the bluegrass. Bear Bryant won an SEC title at Kentucky; why not Will?
11 hours ago11 hr No. Lanning was hired by Oregon on December 11. He coached in Georgia's last game on January 11. He probably has as good a feel for what to expect from Stein as anyone could have.
11 hours ago11 hr No. 1 hour ago, TheRunningDuck said:Hope he doesn't steal recruits as the day approaches.I kinda doubt it... That would burn a bridge with Lanning and I have a feeling he wouldn't want to do that. Coaches talk a lot behind the scenes and burning a bridge by stealing recruits out the door is something that would burn those bridges real fast. Besides there might some transfers out of Oregon that he would be interested in landing and that would be mutually beneficial for all involved. Not to say that couldnt happen in addition to stealing recruits.
10 hours ago10 hr No. Opportunity knocks for some of the current unused members of Oregon's roster.I could see Novosad among those for sure.

9 hours ago9 hr No. Good luck, but BE GONE!!I don’t like him pulling double duty; cut ties and move on. I want my OC to be all in during a college football playoff run.
9 hours ago9 hr No. With the long break last year our team came out lethargic against Ohio State. We dont need any distractions.
6 hours ago6 hr No. Lanning showed you can still win a natty with one foot out the door so to speak. Not sayin' Will Stein is Dan Lanning, but I'd rather keep the continuity through the playoffs than go with someone who's never called plays before.
6 hours ago6 hr No. Yeah, he already has a job. But a Natty (as everyone calls it now) never looks bad on the resume.
4 hours ago4 hr No. I was hoping Stein would stay out of the SEC. I think he's going to do more with less at Kentucky. That program allocates about 75 percent of their shared revenue budget on basketball. Stein will develop an offense, and convert three stars into all league performers. I was hoping he'd go to Cal, UCLA, or Oklahoma State.Is Cal looking at Lupoi?
