So What do you think Mateo can continue to improve and, and better his game in this last year with Oregon?
Yeah, I won't speak in specifics, but as you say, you know, ultimately as a finisher, right, at the end of plays, that's a place that I know that he wants to attack and improve.
Um, he's always been a really intelligent player, uh, obviously has a special skill set, and, uh, he's, he's done a lot of things in the weight room, you know, this offseason to attack places for him to get better.
And, you know, I think he has that voice and his ability to continue to share that voice with the team is going to be something that can impact us.
I think it's been since 1999 that a coach has been in his fifth spring with with the Ducks just as head coach.
Where's the biggest benefit for you just in the familiarity of being here for 4 seasons and just not being the new guy on the block anymore?
Yeah, the biggest benefit for me is getting to sit in the seat that I sit in, right, to get to be in a place like Oregon.
I mean, I . I, I realized how special it was the day that I got here and now getting to go into year 5, I mean, it's even more special, um, and that, that's something I just don't want to take for granted.
So, yeah, grateful that we have some continuity, we have some staff continuity, we have a lot of guys that understand what we're looking for and what we're trying to accomplish, but more, more importantly, grateful for the experience and the opportunity to be here.
