Haywarduck Moderator 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!

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...
