Lanning knows what drama he’s signing up for with that family.
I hope you're right about it not happening. I just don't need to hear Gus Johnson screaming about how "Raiola's doing it to his former team!!" 85 times during that game as they beat us 55-10.

The reason I fear it MIGHT happen is that I think Lanning would know how desperate that Dom/Dylan are to make this JR season work. If Dylan flops, his NFL hopes are in big trouble. I think Dom could act like an a-hole/helicopter dad when he had leverage. He had some leverage with OSU and UGA when DR was a hot recruit. And he had tons of leverage against Rhule/NU bc we needed him. They have zero leverage left at this point.

I'm afraid Lanning might take a chance on him (a) bc the QB portal options aren't great and (b) Lanning might realize that Dom is gonna STFU bc everyone knows how desperate the Raiolas are in yr 3. Also (c) Oregon is big in Hawaii and signing Raiola would be big to further their dominance of getting blue chip Poly recruits.


What Oregon SHOULD do is empty the bank vault for Dampier at Utah. But he hasn't entered the portal. And I don't know if Whittingham would go for him etc. Or if he even wants to leave Utah.
 
Not that it means anything, but Dylan has been following Lanning on Instagram. There was a family photo that Lanning posted over the holidays with hashtag “Ohani” and Dylan liked it.
 
If they bring some young guys in from the portal I'm good with potential but most of the portal guys need to have some production especially with the money that's being thrown around.

Hopefully they can get most of the potential guys from the high school recruits. And most of the portal guys are production.

I can’t imagine Rhule doesn’t understand in 2026 he can do no worse than match 2025’s W/L record to avoid his seat getting pretty hot. I’d assume he’s going to have to focus on guys who’re at least a marginal improvement game one over anyone we’re cycling out.

He can’t think he’s got years to develop anything at this point? Right?
 
No kidding. Every other post is someone whining about nothing.
It's just exhausting at this point. It's the trendy thing now - to think Rhule is an absolute idiot.

Be a fan and support the program. If it ends up not working out and you get hurt again, so be it. But just enjoy the ride, rather than being an insufferable douche.

Or Nwaneri and Co. sack him 7 times and that's what GJ creams himself over. That sounds glorious to me...
