NJDuck Moderator No. 1 Share Posted 20 hours ago So this cycle has not really worked out as Oregon had hoped in quarterback recruiting. I mean it really started with the very late decision by 5-Star Jaron Keawe-Sagapolutele to sign and later end up at Cal. Can’t blame him for walking into the quarterback room at Oregon and feeling like it was a much easier path to start at Cal. Oregon moved on and made a massive push for 5-Star QB Jared Curtis who ultimately ended up at Georgia. In my mind with the way Oregon’s current quarterback room sets up, Curtis would have been an ideal and seamless transition for Dan Lanning Now that comes with variables as does the rest of this article. And keep in mind, Oregon is one of the best at giving themselves options and rolling with the punches. Because of the transfer portal you have to operate this way. And because of the transfer portal I’m also nearly zero concerned with Oregon signing a prep quarterback in this cycle. While it might be preferred, it wouldn’t be an issue if the Ducks miss on every option and hit the portal. The success rate in the portal has been really good at the position. But they continue on expanding options with a lot of uncertainty about how it could play out.

30Duck Moderator No. 2 Share Posted 19 hours ago Patience. Recruiting, don't we all miss the good old days? Now with NIL & the portal, the commitments mean less than ever. 2 sides jump out, USC-Riley, throw $$$$ at the recruits, get the No.1 class, or Oregon-Lanning, take your time, talk to the recruits, if they want to be Ducks, sign 'em up, the portal will be there. (Maybe with some of USC's commits). Slightly different, and I can't know, but I don't think Emmanuel Pregnon is thinking he wishes he was still at USC. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charles Fischer Administrator No. 3 Share Posted 18 hours ago If there was EVER a team that could get an elite portal transfer QB...it is Oregon, as has been proven the last three years. Nothing beats experience... 1 1 Mr. FishDuck Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Marsh No. 4 Share Posted 16 hours ago Patience... Crazy enough Oregon probably doesn't need a prep QB this recruiting cycle. Moore will be around for one or two seasons. If Moore leaves after this year Novosad is probably next up. Moga and Smith are both promising and we'll have a fuller picture as to whether they stick around or not after the season. But I'd bet that one is guaranteed to stick around as they'll likely be in play for a backup spot. And then Oregon can always get someone from the portal if needed. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
