Ugh, not interested in him at all. Doesn't seem like he'd fit with the culture here. Doesn't come off as a big team guy, or someone that's willing to put in the work.

Completely agree. He has all the talent under the sun but seems like he only hurts your team.

Maybe Lanning is the guy to get Bear Alexander to reach his potential, and if so he could be really good, but I agree it seems too high of a risk to take a guy like Bear.

And what does he do to your NIL budget? If he comes cheap, maybe, but if he wants to make what USC was paying him, I'm a hard "no thanks."

I say the coaches have a convo with WSU transferring QB John Mateer for fun. That guy would be pretty solid in our offense.

Eh, I think Moore is their guy. I don't see them getting a QB in the portal, unless there's a guy that knows he won't likely start and is willing to come in as depth, which is hard to find.

Did Lanning recruit Alexander while at Georgia? Maybe there is a history there that leads DL to believe he can succeed where others failed.

We can kiss any future QB recruiting goodbye if we tap into the portal again for a QB. Dante/Austin/Luke/Jaron-Keawe/Akili ... let the cream rise to the top and ride with one of those dudes.

This. Coaches will have to ride with Moore and unless Stein bounces for a HC job we’re going to find out how good he is at developing a young QB.

It's also just a full QB room. You typically have 4 scholarship QBs, on the roster, so with 5 they may already be banking on someone hitting the portal.

I really like what little we’ve seen from Dante and Novosad.

[duckfan96]

Just a hunch but I predict Akili will be the best of the qbs Oregon has signed.

TE was never going to be a position they had to spend big on. OT and Edge are easily the hardest positions to pull in top talent without having to spend big money.

Have to strongly disagree with this. Most of the guys with the correct size/athleticism play basketball.

And how long has it been since Oregon has had a TE that is a strong blocker and pass catcher?

Look at what Brock Bowers did. Absolutely dominant. Never a liability on the field. Lack of TE blocking is probably one of the things is one of the things that has limited the run game these past few years (since before Breeland, really). Letting Matavao go was a huge mistake. He's better than Ferg. It's so much harder to defend a guy who is a good receiver/good blocker than it is a guy who is a great receiver / bad blocker.

They didn't want Motatavo to go. They did everything they could to get him to stay.
