Dude deservably got benched. Not impressed at all. I saw 3* QBs like Herbert and Mariota blow away Donte as a frosh. And they were low 3*s. Manziel was a 3*. Who are these evaluators at 247 sports? Do they actually go to games and watch? I know Biggins goes to SoCal games. But does staff bother to go to Hawaii, WA, Colorado, etc?
Oh , and don't get me started on 5 * Bust Flowe. He's even 2nd string at Arizona.
Dante is a really good QB. Chip Kelly has an offense that does strange things. The two are not made for each other. Chip needs a QB that has the illusion of being a runner, so it gives the O an extra playmaker. Without that, you see what happens. Chip also does not throw to his possesion recievers/Wide Outs on a regular basis, and when he does, he has slot guy almost mirroring the route and it clogs and screws everything up. Dante would do great somewhere else, and he will. This all boiled down to UCLA NIL needing to try and make a splash to wag the dog and make it seem important, and it was an OK attempt to market it that way. In reality it was Dante who was desperate to find a landing spot after Nix stayed, and UCLA had a QB fall from the sky into their laps. Wake me when UCLA NIL actually goes out and gets who they really want and NEED.
How is it you can't spell Dante?
He's really good. Lincoln would make him an all American in two years
kid has a lot of talent.
Can make all the throws.
can run pretty fast when he wants. Can throw on the run.
Donte also has zero pocket awareness. Didn't matter in high school. hence the 5 stars.
JT chuck and duck Daniels played behing a huge O line at Mater Dei. 5 star Gatorade player of the year in high school, couln't move in the pocket, got squashed like a bug in college.
Oregon thought Donte was all that too . happens. SC was sold on the Los Al kid. Happens.
Still think this kid Moore has a future. Really quick release. Sees the entire field. Just needs to be coached up. Only time will tell. sc
Why were Oregon's Canton Kaumatule and Lache Sistrunk ever rated 5* ? major busts.
