Nearly 10 years since he played his last game, DAT's influence is still being felt.

 

How fortunate were the Ducks to have the likes of LaMichael James, Kenyon Barner, and DAT?? (rhetorical question) 

 

 

Just goes to show ya how important national exposure is for top players in any program and why Oregon has been gaining ground slowly over the years.  Teams like USC, Notre Dame, Alabama, Ohio State and others have their own like stories, I'm sure.  And have had for decades.

 

And teams like Nebraska show how easily that 'edge' can be lost by bad coaching and staff hires.  Time was every kid in the midwest, almost, wanted to be a Cornhusker.  Not anymore.  GO OREGON!

So DAT flipped from sc, which then caused Mateyo to flip from sc? Basically success breads success. Lets hope Mateyo has half the highlights DAT had.

 

I actually think the highlights may come from Jurrion, but there are some playmakers coming in, well done!
