At QB?

No question in my mind that it will be Dante Moore.

Kid that originally committed to us and then went down to UCLA? Get all these kids mixed up. Hope he’s ready to lead us.

They do have a number of "Summer Winners" type tweets. Things saying the Ducks did very well recruiting again.

However they are still only ranked 7th in the preseason Football Polls. I thought they would have been higher. Maybe the QB position is holding them back a bit?

It's great but recruiting during the summer is just for show. Only matters when they sign on the dotted line.... and even then they can still leave.

Yeah that's him. He was originally recruited by The OC who left when offered the HC job at ASU. Skip Kelly swooped in and stole him right after.

The encouraging part is he sat all last year learning the offense. So he should be ready, but yeah, they'll be a learning curve

Yes, Dante Moore. He flipped during recruitment from UO to UCLA presumably for the opportunity to start right away. He got that starting spot which came with getting the crap beat out of him every week behind a bad OLine. Following his Freshman year & Chip Kelly leaving for Ohio State, he transferred to Oregon after Dillon Gabriel had, knowing he'd be a backup for at least a year. Praise from teammates past and present for his plus arm talent has been seeping out which combined with his high ranking as a recruit has people projecting him to start though the Duck coaching staff not named a starter. The other tidbit of note on him is that he recently spoke about having worked on his speed where he claims to have been clocked at 21.5 MPH which is WR type speed. I think we're going to get a show from him this year

How many commit and then flip? Is it a lot? Do most stay after committing during the summer?

there are flips for sure, but it may be that schools/collectives are structuring NIL contracts such that flips will be fewer and more difficult to accomplish. I've seen a rumor that many of these NIL deals are front-loaded and that a recruit who flips would have to pay back whatever the NIL amount was....and chances are high a lot of that money will already have been spent. A lot of greedy family around some of these guys

The money sure has changed the way college sports are being run.

is he a traditional drop back quarterback or more of an option run quarterback? Excited to see him play

He's not a bad athlete by any means and can run if needed, but he's a traditional QB operating from the pocket. More then any Duck QB since Herbert, Dante has elite arm talent to both stretch the field with deep balls and layer it in with accuracy and touch. The ball zips effortlessly out of his hand like few others. Combining that with a receiving group that has probably the most speed in Duck history should indeed be exciting. But again, they should be featuring a much improved running game as their offensive basis, with the buzz from fall camp that the staff really is high on the OLine's potential. The transfer RB Makhi Hughes from Tulane will be an NFL back. Defenses will be in a catch 22 of trying to stop the run by stacking the box or getting beat over the top.

pretty sure that recruits were able to sign their NIL deals starting August 1st which is why we saw a flurry of commitments both to Oregon and elsewhere around then. I suspect we're going to see a lot fewer flips of top talents because of this

That was where I was going. Money talks as they say. Kids are not watching a team while growing up and dreaming about playing someday for that college like I did. I know this is the Ducks thread but growing up for me I was watching OJ Simpson and thinking how cool it would be to someday play for USC. That obviously didn't happen and the "Juice" got squeezed but nonetheless that was a big thing in the 70's and 80's.

I still think the Oregon brand , facilities, uni's, does influence kids still in college selection. And winning program is key too. Now, with NIL its also is a key in acquiring blue chip recruits and/or veteran skill positions.

A few years back prior to NIL when only some schools were handing out bags of cash (SEC) it made sense that other schools that didn’t were lagging well behind in acquiring talent. That Oregon can now make a competitive offer allows the player’s decision to come down to other factors like quality of life. Now we’re all unique and value different things, but I’m not sure how much more I’d have to get paid to do my same job in Alabama but it would have to be a lot.

McNutt broke his leg and rumors of Dickey getting kicked off.

The nonconference game college basketball fans in the Northwest have clamored for is finally happening.


Oregon and Gonzaga are in negotiations to play at Moda Center on Dec. 21, a source with knowledge of the matter confirmed to The Oregonian/OregonLive. The source requested anonymity due to the game contract still being finalized.


Game time, ticket sales and television broadcast information will be announced later. The Big Ten has the broadcast rights to the game, according to a source, making it likely it will be broadcast on FOX or FS1.

I miss the FarWest Classic I believe it was called. I remember going to that as a kid. Right after Christmas at the MC. Mini tourney with great teams. I believe Magic played in that and I know John Stockton did.
