After todays win in Boulder…… I am loving the portal, NiX, Gonzo, a couple of good RB that came in and took the job! Who was this Dye kid? JK kinda wish he was here….. I wonder if he wishes he was here?

Nah, he is doing well at USC and the team is doing well also, so no reason for him to have any regrets. It worked out well for all involved.

If Bo leaves and enters the draft and Klubnik takes over the starting job at Clemson, what does everyone think about the chance that DJ U could end up at Oregon? From what I have heard, his brother could be an Oregon commit.

Was thinking about DJ U last night. He’s been bad at Clemson but a change of scenery could be good for him, as it has been for Nix. It would also help with getting his brother I would imagine.

I don’t think the is anywhere near as good as Nix. He has a solid OL, good skill guys around him, and stable coaching. All things Nix didn’t have at AU. He will come in expecting to start, and I don’t think playing at UO will make him any better than we have seen. I don’t believe he is going to be worth taking. Van Dyke or roll with what we have.

I'm in favor of bringing in a transfer QB but not DJ U, for reasons stated above. I'd like to have a proven QB in place so we don't have to throw a true freshman in if he's not ready. I question whether TT will ever be ready, though it did occur to me when he was in yesterday that he has the #2 offense with him. I wonder how much work he's getting with the 1s?

I'm supremely in favor of a transfer, but.think it's way too early to think about who. Lots of time to figure out who will be on the market.

I really like the Irving and Whittingham combo. I haven't felt this confident about Oregon's running backs since Royce Freeman left.

Beyond on their running ability, they have been rock solid with ball security (knock on wood). I just hope it continues as the weather continues to get worse.

I would EASILY take DJ U. He's not a heisman contender but he is WAAAYYY better than Ty or Butters. Worst case, we have a backup with an (inconsistent) rocket arm and who is surprisingly mobile too.

I'd be interested in seeing what DJ U would do in Oregon's offense too. I'm still not sure why we have not seen Butterfield even sniff a handoff or three in a 2nd game, now that we're getting pretty good evidence that Ty is just too rattled and not settled. Can he be crapping the bed that badly?

Agreed. Areas of need:

CB X 2
Rush Edge
QB
S

Nobody would have considered Nix a Heisman contender last year either.

DJU has better tools than just about anyone. There would be strong demand for him around the country if he were to go in the portal. The upside is too good to pass on. Just don’t promise him the starting job.
