I’m an Oregon fan… and this comment is dumb as s**t. Trent McDuffie is better than any CB Oregon has put into the NFL in the last decade
unlike a certain school up north I won't mention by name, oregon actually develops DB's for the NFL.

Moreover, the image of a 51 year old White man berating a young Black man so publicly rubs a lot of us the wrong way. Especially w/all the racial injustice. Bad optics. U can deliver the lesson w/o flexing your power & control. It did not make Black parents I know happy.

Ummm, saying Taggart had No. 1 class in nation, although factual, is misleading. By that logic, if Oregon gets a commitment from 2025 kid right now, Cristobal has No. 1 class in nation as well. It's about where you finish rather than where you start...
Fan: Taggart can’t recruit like Mario. Me: Taggart had No. 1 class in the nation (fact). Fan response: You love Willie and hate Mario. ... 🤦🏽♂️. People, we must as a society display better critical thinking skills than this. I fear for our future. Hell, our present. Chill!
