maybe it's unnecessary but I thought it was time for an updated 2026 Ducks thread. Pretend the last 5 days didn't happen
take it for what it's worth: I talked to a friend who has generally been right about what's happening at Oregon. Not always but mostly. He told me today that contrary to the accepted wisdom, Lanning and staff don't really have a good handle on what Dante Moore is going to do. And that even now, Dante may not know. It's kind of locking the Ducks into an uncomfortable limbo since QB is such and important position
my friend thinks that both Dylan Raiola and Sam Leavitt may be waiting for Dante's decision. Leavitt is definitely slow-walking his transfer process. The thinking is that Raiola may be willing to transfer and wait a year behind Moore, much like Moore was behind Gabriel. But that's not certain. Leavitt won't wait, but even if Moore leaves the Ducks may prefer Raiola over Leavitt. This also seems to be the conventional wisdom among Duck bloggers
the game against Indiana clearly showed Moore needs more experience before going to the NFL. He desperately needs to work on his processing speed. It also probably dropped him down a bit in the draft order...which would significantly drop his guaranteed money in the NFL
the deadline for entering the portal is the 16th. However, players in the portal can take their time deciding on destinations. it can happen in March
