Dan Lanning has built something in Eugene. As many message boards today are swirling with rumors about the Alabama head coach slot being open, lets take a moment to talk about the culture at Oregon and how it has effected the roster.

While Oregon certainly had its share of players enter the transfer portal in December, part of that was to make room for the top 5 class coming in.
