I don't know I kind of think Oregon offered the kid a giant bag to play a five hour drive from home and just as much exposure as UW or USC and way more promotion. Might not be more complicated than that.
On the field it actually made some sense when Cristobal was at Oregon because his whole scheme seemed focused on making the OL look as good as possible. Now it doesn't really make any sense especially with new and questionable OC/OL coach coming on.
The worst part is how little I seem to give a shit about this.
In the stages of grief process, you are at acceptance which is positive, b/c soon after comes #apathy which I have seen only one other time the last 40 years rivaling where UW football is at today with the fan base and that was TW final season.
Bagging on Dawgman crew is lay up easy, but have to give Chris credit. Kim and Scott won't come out and say it, but you can tell they are thinking it, but Fetters did and said that Kalen needs to do something to get people interested and talking about UW football again, and shutting the media out of practice isn't helping him in that regard.
You are correct Connerly went to Oregon b/c their NIL package was either superior or close enough to SC's that he chose to play in Eugene over LA. Doesn't matter how shitty or great Klemm is as OL coach, as 99% of kids at his level believe they are going to play at the next level no matter where they go or who's coaching them.
