When news broke that Mario Cristobal would become the next head coach of Oregon, there were some that 6denounced the hire, claiming that it was a shortsighted way to appease the current roster and salvage the 2018 recruiting class.
Though we still don’t know how Cristobal’s Duck legacy will develop, it has already become clear that the former National Recruiter of the Year is living up to his reputation- and the commitment of four-star offensive lineman Jonah Tauanu’u inches the new coach towards the best recruiting class in Oregon history.
At 6-foot-5, 317-pounds, Tauanu’u matches the height of Cristobal’s future offensive lineman, but will also be expected to throw on some mass- and yes, I realize how insane that notion sounds, that a 317-pounder needs to gain weight.
SHOCK THE WORLD!!!!

Recruiting Rankings
Tauanu’u is Oregon’s 20th commitment of 2019; his commitment retains the Ducks No. 4 ranking in 247’s ‘19 recruiting rankings. The young offensive tackle is the 11th ranked out of California, the 11th best OT, and the 60th ranked recruit in the country.
Oregon trails only Alabama, Georgia, and Texas A&M on the recruiting trail. The Ducks are well ahead of the rest of the PAC, and No. 24 USC is the only other team currently in the top 25 for 2019 . Washington at 32, Stanford at 33, Colorado at 37, and Cal at 42 are the remaining teams currently in the top 50.
