Some direct quotes from Brown prior to picking his next school on his reasons for going.


https://www.dailyemerald.com/2016/1...ext-star-receiver-after-breakout-performance/

This one's a good one from November. He was being projected to be the breakout WR for Oregon in 2017, and was praised by his coach and teammates. "Best hands ever seen...."


http://oregon.247sports.com/Article/Jalen-Brown-Oregon-Ducks-Football--37168424

This is from a year earlier. I think it's quite telling that the reason that Brown did not start is because he was playing behind some of the best WRs in Oregon history who happened also to be upperclassmen.

Another good one on Brown from 2015.

He catches passes, and is a great blocker. Exactly what our coaches love

Including this one, as it references coaches saying he was mature and ready to contribute as a true freshman on the Oregon 2014 team that played in the National Championship, but was sidelined with a back injury.

here's a profile of him prior to his true freshman season (and his back injury), where he was being hailed as someone who could step up in light of one of the starter's injuries

Hope he is bringing his tennis ball machine with him.

Yeah, I would say by a long long shot. Thanks again for your post. Looks like you did a bunch of digging.

Not really - just did a search on Jalen Brown +Oregon, and clicked on the headlines that seemed to be focused on him and wasn't just a 3 sentence blurb on his transfer.

But, I'm glad it was helpful.

Repeating what I said on the Rock, I am really excited about brown, combination of his apparent skills and our needs. I also keep thinking about the fact that he had a countless number of practice reps for 3 1/2 years with a decent pass oriented division one team. That has to be worth a lot.

Not just practice reps. He had a lot of game reps. Bigly performances too. Circus catches. Great hands, greatest ever seen in a WR by one of the Duck WRs.Supposedly an oustanding blocker to boot. This isn't a kid coming to NU for more playing time. He was going to be potentially their #1 receiver next year.

3 1/2 years on the Juggs machine!
