These are the "before" rankings. Based on production, some juggling should occur.

Ranking Oregon Ducks' 2026 transfers among best in Dan Lanning era

Informative article, particularly for those who consistently geek out on recruiting rankings. When I saws the title of this thread, I thought this was going to be an assessment of transfer additions who have proved most meaningful to the team ON THE FIELD during the Lanning era. My guess for number 1 (given my assumption) was incontestable I thought: Bo Nix followed perhaps by Tez Johnson. I don't mean to be difficult here, but in my world , rankings based on...others' rankings, are next to worthless. Let's evaluate the transfers based on actual contributions to the team made between the lines.

Derrick Harmon, Bear Alexander, Jordan Burch at the top because D linemen are hard to find. What would Oregon be like those seasons without them? Answer: not as good

Below that, I go with Bo Nix and Tez Johnson due to production.

I rate Bo Nix to be the best QB to play at Oregon.

How about Dante learns how to run like Bo Nix in his second year of starting at Oregon?

But as for your comment, I liked Bo Nix AFTER the Georgia game. That seemed to be when he stopped being the old Bo Nix and became the new Bo Nix.
