Just shows how much turmoil when a popular coach (according to the players I've heard from in articles) leaves. This could be why so many are going to the portal, which is a record. This last year there was an avalanche of new coaching staffs across the country especially including some top schools.

Haywarduck No. 3 Share Posted April 7, 2022 Interesting Dontae said Oregon was his school, but DanLan was his coach. Just shows elite student athletes do still dream of coming to Oregon. Dontae was a 5* recruit who picked Oregon, not because of the coach, wanted to be a Duck. A kid from half way across the country chose Oregon over Georgia because he wanted to be a Duck, nice! The coaches just have to keep knocking on the doors and seeing who wants to live the dream. Who wanted to be a Duck, but nobody every asked, gave them the opportunity. Back in the Helfric era, how many Dontaes never got the opportunity to say yes? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
