'25 UT OG Douglas Utu (Oregon commit)

[pimo1]

If you're OK flying Allegiant, you can routinely catch round-trip direct flights to Knoxville and back for $250, and oftentimes, less. Even if Las Vegas to Eugene has a direct flight, it's doubtful that it's significantly cheaper, if any, than $250.

but its significantly shorter....Id imagine a 250 dollar flights from Knoxville to vegas would be an all day affair....vs a 2 hour flight to Oregon. Heck he could drive to Oregon faster

That quote is annoying, as if he wasn't doing that here.

I love oregons logo. It’s a reminder of how many nattys they have

eh feels like as close to a boilerplate statement as you can make

 

[deatojl]

I guess you really could spell Utu without UT?

Best wishes to the kid. This years class on top of what we did last year is still elite.

Wow no thanks to Tennessee mentioned? Maybe he didn’t really appreciate the opportunity he had with us… Good riddance?

I’m not personally gonna go so far as to say “good riddance”, but i thought that was disrespectful as well. Didn’t even thank our coaches? I mean, I’m not ready to burn any mattresses or anything, just didn’t think that was cool. Treated it like he was uncommitted.

Man hate losing this guy. Best of luck to him. Can’t blame a west coast guy staying out west too much tho.

Doubt it. Better relationships out there

Ehh, he would have been a good fit here and hate to lose him. However, with what our team is doing and the offensive production we are capable of I am not sweating recruiting. We had a good haul last year and a good group this year. The staff will find a replacement as good as or better and we will roll on without a bump in the road. Good luck to the young man.

There will be plenty of OL in the portal.

Douglas you're gonna look horrible in those ugly Oregon colors.

 

[swampfoxfan]

Wish him luck, hate to loose this one, but if he had doubts it's best he goes.

Isn't there a gif of Hyams dancing on a cliff?

Does anyone still have that one and can post it?

 

[KPT_VFL]

Hate to lose him but we still have lots of momentum on the field and in recruiting. Onward. GBO!

 

[Ttucke11]

Meh. I'm a little salty. He will enjoy Oregon, but we are the elite athletic school in the country. His loss. Ain't winning **** at Oregon.

No, not really. The flight is less than 4 hours and a direct flight. I've done it a couple times. It's 2 hrs 15 mins to Eugene.

And you might want to map that drive to Eugene. It's 850 miles from Vegas...14 hours. I think people who haven't spent much time out west underestimate the distance between everything.

Point being, if you have to fly anyway, no one is making the decision based on the flight being an hour and a half longer.
