Keep in mind - Oregon has had offensive-minded HC’s until Mario. Being a former lineman, he’s trying to build toughness on both lines and especially the defense. He’s a great recruiter and it’s beginning to show.

FWIW, I never thought he would leave the west coast. He threw out Alabama as a finalist to build drama so he could announce on ESPN. I honestly believe that ESPN wanted him to build the drama just so he could spite us on national TV. I hate that network so much.

so many factors go into where a kid wants to play. I'm sure the pitch of playing in the opener in a pretty good matchup was also used in the recruiting pitch, facilities, playing time, etc. cant get them all. good luck to Kavon

Good luck to KT. I hope he has a great college career. I think he is a good kid , he made a tough decision for an 18y/o . Too bad it wasn’t at the capstone, but I knew his decision was against the Tide when he tweeted something like - you may not like my decision but you will have to accept it.

Yep, that was the plan.

Sometimes we don't care for the way kids make their decision, But KT make a decision that he thought was best for him and I'm fine with that. I hope he gets his degree at Oregon and that he does not get injured during his football career. Other than that, he is now just a player on another team so I wish him no luck (good or bad) in his football development.

Can we not just say "congratulations Mario/Oregon"???

We can't get them all, even if they are top ranked! It's depressing that we have to assign the worst possible intents to every kid that chooses another school. We are better than this!

I have no problem with his decision; but, sorry, I don’t care for his comment about being the “man” on defense. Players with “public” attitudes like that don’t typically don’t do well at Bama, and most go elsewhere.
If you watched his declaration (I did), and you’re OK with what he said and how he said it, fine. That’s your call.
I’m not and that’s MY call.
I don’t wish him anything good or ill unless they play Bama (one can hope) - then I hope to see him pancaked on every play.

Any assembled group is composed of a cross-section of all personality types. This forum is no different than any other...except for the fact that our moderators do a superb job of keeping it clean around here. That being said, “we ALL” are not better than that. Collectively, “we ALL” display the range of personality types found in society...some are more mature than others...and some we’d rather not see representing our collective...just sayin’

You guys nailed it.
Most of us are devoted fans, extremely proud of this program, and grateful, especially for the last ten years.
We are watching, and feel a part of, an historic Process.
No reason not to keep it classy when we lose a few.

Coach Paul Bryant summed it up so well (and I paraphrase): You don't worry about the recruits you miss on, you worry about the ones you get. So this kid is now an afterthought and we don't need to think about him again unless we play Oregon.

Really that's where I am at... Cristobal got a good one. Congrats.

FWIW, KT told all 3 staffs (Oregon, Bama, FSU) what they wanted to hear in the week before announcement. All 3 were optimistic, yet scared because all sources basically said the same thing.

Also, we are recruitng Bogle as a Jack, and he realistically could be every bit as good as KT with the right S&C. KT was just more polished now.

Maybe Bama can land Bogle
