Very informative.

Some of the highlights for me:
1. About MC:
“I would definitely say since he became head coach, he’s been a lot more transparent than the last staff but I wouldn’t even say the whole last staff, just certain people on the last staff who just wasn’t honest,” running back Tony Brooks-James said.
"He’s a lot more, how can I put it, interactive with us. He pushes us, he’s a great storyteller. He’s a guy that you kind of just want to run through a brick wall for."
2. The difference between conditioning this year and last:
Brooks-James described it as what the Ducks did under longtime coach Jim Radcliffe “but moreso on steroids.” Mitchell called it “difficult.”
“Last year was more just running and pounding, running up and down the field, I guess thinking that you could build your lungs up that way and that was basically it, just running up and down the field constantly,” Mitchell said.
3. Practice tempo:
While past UO teams practiced as fast as possible to get as many reps possible, teachable moments like Wednesday seem to be what Cristobal wants. He has said UO practices will have more individual teaching periods compared to last year.
4. M
4. Dillon Mitchell:
After two seasons playing wide receiver, Dillon Mitchell is transitioning to playing the slot role last held by Charles Nelson.
It wasn’t a shocking position switch: Mitchell played slot at times in high school and knew he would be making the switch as far back as last season.
5. Injuries
Niu will miss all of spring with injury suffered during Las Vegas Bowl. Hanson and safety Nick Pickett will miss the start of spring but are expected to return in April.
