McDuck No. 1 Share Posted September 25, 2022 Being on record stating Oregon could make better use of the transfer portal than Mr. Cota I must offer up a mea culpa. Seven big receptions today for 84 yards. Not flashy but quietly efficient. I'm glad he is a Duck! 1 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charles Fischer Administrator No. 2 Share Posted September 25, 2022 I am very grateful that Cota wanted to return, Dilly and Coach Adams wanted him, and that I was completely wrong. We fans at times... 1 Mr. FishDuck Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ktmguy2018 No. 3 Share Posted September 25, 2022 He reminds me a bit of Jeff Maehl...not super flashy but he finds a way to be where he needs to be and he has good hands. 1 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
latracey No. 4 Share Posted September 25, 2022 Time and time again I watched Cota make difficult catches while he played for UCLA, and I was thrilled when he decided to come to Oregon. Jeff Maehl is a great comparison. Both guys have great hands and find ways to make tough receptions in traffic. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no idea why people would have been down on Cota. He is a fine and excellent receiver. Why did people had/have a negative opinion of him?

woundedknees No. 8 Share Posted September 25, 2022 I think more than a few Duck fans were miffed that CC chose UCLA over THE O. I is what it is. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desert Duck No. 9 Share Posted September 25, 2022 Ahhh... That sheds a little light on my question. Thank you. I was just beyond happy to have such a fine, solid, experienced, and smart receiver joining our receiving corps. And I thought that although he took the long route to get home, he finally did make it here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chase did not have a wonderful career at UCLA. He was rarely targeted and was frustrated. Chip promised more targets, to keep him, and when that didn’t happen Chase entered the portal. He has proved to be solid, reliable receiver, and an important part of the offense. And, of course, we all wish he had come to Eugene in the first place. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, his stats wouldn’t have been much better at Oregon because of MC’s offense. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

EzDucksIt No. 15 Share Posted September 26, 2022 It is in his genes. He is a Legacy. His dad, cousin and now him. I am happy he is a part of the Ducks family. He has brought that maturity and skills to the team. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
olcodgerduck No. 16 Share Posted September 26, 2022 I was one of the very disappointed Duck fans when he chose to go elsewhere out of high school. Hind sight being what it is, had he come here originally, he probably would have been in the portal anyway - only leaving us to go somewhere else (you know, that whole Mari no Offense thing...). I'm glad he came back home, I feel like the timing is just right, and I'm glad he's turning into such an asset. Go Ducks!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
