    How do you see peoples’ most recent twitter follows? I don’t know that, but just looking at his follows, he has more from this UW class than Oregon’s.

    Ok St board catching wind that WR coach may be headed to Oregon. This is all coming together nicely. Dunn, Nacua and Juwan Johnson and the passing game will improve.

    True Freshman and a transfer gonna greatly improve Oregon's passing game? Good luck with that.
    Dunn is a developer as a WR coach. Juwan Johnson gives us a big target. With Nacua we get depth at the very least.

    Still don't see how any of that will improve Oregon's passing game for next season besides hopes and dreams. No WR coach is a miracle worker. That's a tough situation to walk into. One Penn State reject transfer WR and some true Freshman ain't gonna cut it. The guys that have been there and know the offense need to get a lot better and some just aren't talented enough. With all those tough road games it just doesn't look good to me. After next season, 2020 and beyond looks very iffy for Oregon at QB. They would have to hit the jackpot with Millen or whats his face to be relevant in the North title race. Dunn may take the significant pay bump to go to Oregon but that's a bad career move to step on that sinking ship for more money in the short run.

    Lol, a player with 52 catches and 700+ yards two seasons ago when he wasn’t banged up. He’s 6’4” 225 and Bryan Addison came on late last season. There will be options.

    Update from the Utah mod...

    "So, I got an update... I think, if he goes out of state it's UW and if he listens to mom's request of playing closer to home, it will be Utah. We'll all be in the dark until tomorrow night, Puka has sworn people to secrecy - one of which is our own, Blair Angulo - and said he won't even be telling coaches his decision beforehand."

    So is @HuskyClaws or @SteveBartle her “source”.

    Because this shit was 7 hours ago.

    Bryan Addison, the Bryan Addison with 0 career catches?
    Yes, the coaching staff was considering pulling his redshirt. The kid is helluva an athlete and no one comes close in Oregon’s unit. I am not sayings Oregon will have a good WR unit. I am asking for an adequate unit. Juwan Johnson, Bryan Addison with Redd in the slot will create some mismatches. Also, the offense had a cascading effect with this being the first year in the system, two new RBs and little talent out wide. McCormick breaking his leg at TE compounded the issue. I do think a good coach can get something out of Johnny Johnson.

    One the 4-5 receivers (number depend on Puka) should be good enough to make an impact.

    Puka saw the poly connection at the poly bowl. Hard to turn that down.

    Family is important and if he chooses that then Utah is a good choice.

    I say washington!

    It’s one of the Orem coaches who gets info from Puka’s family...doesn’t mean it’s correct, it’s just the info the family wants out there

    I am still moving this thread to the Duck bored if he commits there, but now, in light of all this super accurate Utah news, I must say I will just lock it if he picks Utah.

    In that instance, the only acceptance reaction appears to be creating a brand new board for @89ute and call it “Uuters”

    Perhaps I will let him gloat real quick, then lock the thread. He isn't around all the time though. Must be rough having 8 wives.

    If that happens, the only board name that I will accept is "The UTErus"

    What a colossal flop. UW has a massive advantage over Oregon here. Just ridiculous.

    Ever since seeing Puka at the Poly bowl, thought he was too free spirited for Petersen. He just didn’t seem like a good fit up there. He likes to have fun.
    Ha, well I guess you’ve never heard of Dick Newton or his Twitter.
    Chinned because it led me to StrongArmCobra's actual twatter account:

    Nobody likes you.
    hahaha...oh the irony
