thats Marios class. Just like the class here was Mannys class.
Pls don’t do this, like it’s truly not a good look. I’m not sure y this fan base has this problem of giving other coaches credit. Mario has **** to do w Lanning’s version of Oregon in 2024-2025.
But F it, I got time:
(Mario was hired by Miami on 12/6/21, Lanning 12/11/2021)
The class of 2022:
- That LT u were talking about, Conerly (committed to UO on 04/08/2022 - AFTER MARIO LEFT)
-Jalil Tucker (Mario Recruit) - Transferred to SDSU
-Jahlil Florence (Committed 1/31/2022 AFTER Mario left)
-Devon Jackson (Mario Commit)
-Jordan James (committed 2/2/22 AFTER Mario left)
-Kyler Kasper (committed 4/17/22 AFTER Mario left)
-Khamari Terrell (committed 1/28/22 AFTER Mario left
-Ben Roberts (Mario Commit) - Transferred to Mich St.
-Justise Lowe (committed 1/18/2022 AFTER Mario left)
-Trejon Williams (Mario Commit) - Entered Portal & got stuck
-Emar’rion Winston (committed 2/2/22 AFTER Mario left)
-Harrison Taggart (Mario Commit) - Transferred to BYU
-Dave Luli (committed 2/2/22 AFTER Mario left)
-Anthony Jones (committed 12/15/2021 AFTER Mario left) - transferred to Mich St
-Michael Wooten (Mario commit) - Transferred to Arizona
-Kawika Rogers (committed 1/17/2022 AFTER Mario left)
-Sir Mells (Mario Commit) - transferred to GA So.
The rest of the class of 2022 all transferred in via the portal & was after Lanning was hired, & only 4 of those transfers r still on the team.
So let’s recap:
Mario’s class of 2021 was a complete bust, & only 2 players from that class is on Lanning’s 2024-25 class
-Only one of Mario’s commits from the class of 2022 is on Lanning’s 2024-25 class, & the few that were committed in the class of 2022 were JAG transfers. The vast majority of the class of 2022 committed to Lanning, including the LT & RB u just raved about.
3 total players that committed to Mario are currently on Oregon’s roster.
Let me be brutally honest: Lanning didn’t like Mario’s recruits b/c they didn’t fit his identity or evaluation. Let me also just say this for the record:
There ain’t **** anyone on this board can tell me about USC or UO b/c I have way too many connections to these programs due to long time friends/family who either played for them, are alums, or currently have children enrolled here. So for the umpteenth time, Mario has no connection to what Lanning is doing. That argument could’ve worked in 2022-23, but it became watered down since the 2023-4, as many of Mario’s kids defected, & has zero merit for the 2024-25 season.
