Dan Lanning's lineup of recruiting visitors at the Spring Game is perhaps the most talented group of high school players to ever roll through Eugene for the annual tradition. He's making one thing abundantly clear--again--as Oregon's HC.

On today's episode of Locked On Ducks, Spencer McLaughlin is joined by Max Torres, who covers the Ducks for Fan Nation at Sports Illustrated. Max also talks about the biggest things to watch for this Saturday inside the confines of Autzen Stadium.

The Ducks' defense needs to improve in 2023, and they've added several transfers from other power 5 programs to improve on that side of the ball. Spencer and Max discuss which might have a bigger impact: Iowa LB Jestin Jacobs or former South Carolina DL Jordan Burch.

Oregon Football's Spring Game is this Saturday, and in addition to being a peak behind the curtain for fans it's also a big recruiting draw. Dan Lanning is still hot on the trail for a couple of 2024 high school quarterback targets, Michael Van Buren and Luke Moga--the former will be in Eugene this weekend.

On today's episode of Locked On Ducks, Spencer McLaughlin is joined by Locked On recruiting insider John Garcia. They discuss the possibility of adding two 2024 QBs from the prep ranks, which is not totally necessary in today's world of the portal.

The visitor list for the 2023 Spring Game is stacked with big time, blue chip recruits on the defensive side of the ball. John discusses one of those headline names in 2024 5-star EDGE Elijah Rushing from Tuscon, AZ.

Oregon Football enters the week of the 2023 Spring Game with just 3 scholarship tight ends, once of whom is currently unavailable due to injury (Terrance Ferguson). Are there other needs to address in the portal besides tight end?

On today's episode of Locked On Ducks, Spencer McLaughlin discusses lingering Spring priorities for Dan Lanning and his staff. Oregon had special teams mishaps that were costly in 2022, and the data support the notion that Joe Lorig's units have to be better in 2023.

Oregon Basketball added 2 transfers within the last week that figure to be impact players next season for Dana Altman's team. Spencer breaks down what Kario Oquendo and Devan Cambridge bring to the Ducks.

Will Stein comes to Oregon Football this year from UTSA as an up-and-comer in the coaching ranks. Oregon fans should hold him to a high standard in 2023, even though it's year 1.

On today's episode of Locked On Ducks, Spencer McLaughlin gets ready for this Saturday's Spring Game by looking at the team's running backs. They're part of why fans' expectations should remain so high for the offense.

With Oregon going after some lower-rated recruits at QB in the 2024 cycle, Spencer looks at some of the most high profile examples of lower-rated prospects whose careers panned out fantastically. Plus, what to make of former Duck Dillon Brooks' antics in the NBA Playoffs.

Dan Lanning capped off a season of highs and lows in 2022 with a Holiday Bowl win over North Carolina and giving Oregon another 10-win season, their second consecutive year reaching that mark. Expectations are certainly high going into next year given the return of Bo Nix and added notable additions on defense.

On today's episode of Locked On Ducks, Spencer McLaughlin examines that and another question for Dan Lanning going into 2023. Should he and the defensive staff be innovating and changing philosophy after a somewhat rocky 2022 season on the defensive side of the ball?

Oregon had another player leave the football progrum, redshirt freshman safety Trejon Williams, making him the 4th player to leave in the second portal window and one that makes some sense. With Quincy Guerrier leaving Oregon Basketball, Spencer looks at how the rotation currently stacks up and what Dana Altman and his staff should be looking for in the transfer portal.

If next year's Spring Football session started today, Oregon would have just two scholarship quarterbacks on the roster. That's why it's paramount that OC/QB Coach Will Stein continue pursuing high school quarterback prospects.

On today's episode of Locked On Ducks, Spencer McLaughlin is joined by Locked On recruiting insider John Garcia to break down the names that the Ducks are looking at. They examine a geographical question that has in the past been a bit of an obstacle in the recruiting landscape for Oregon.

Oregon has one notable 2024 offensive line commit in OT Fox Crader, who's garnering a lot of attention from other schools. If he were to verbally commit elsewhere, do the Ducks have a decent shot with Mater Dei HS product Brandon Baker? John sheds insight.

Oregon Football had a handful of transfers over the weekend, but have made several offers to players in the portal and might be interested in others. Where do they rank in terms of greatest need for the team right now?

On today's episode of Locked On Ducks, Spencer McLaughlin examines the transfer portal options as Dan Lanning and his staff navigate the second window amidst Spring Football. Plus, he shares what he sees from 3-star 2024 QB target Luke Moga who the Ducks are after.

N'Faly Dante announced that he will be returning for his final year of eligibility for Oregon Men's Basketball, bringing tremendous upside for the Ducks' team next year. There's still one more name we are waiting to hear from.

Oregon Football lost 3 players to the transfer portal over the weekend, only one of which was recruited by the current coaching staff led by Dan Lanning. Keith Brown was the most notable and surprising player of the 3 (Jalil Tucker, Trevan Ma'ae), but his departure represents a positive trend for the Ducks.

On today's episode of Locked On Ducks, Spencer McLaughlin is joined by Rian Winter (@SportsChat503) to discuss the latest news for the football progrum. Plus, a major piece of basketball news that is overall positive news for Oregon's Men's Basketball team.

N'Faly Dante announced that he's returning to Oregon Basketball for Dana Altman's team for his final year of eligibility. Spencer and Rian react to the news and what it means for the team heading into next year as they look to return to the NCAA Tournament.

The second transfer portal window is open and the Ducks are already seeing their roster impacted further. A somewhat shocking piece of news came over the weekend when former 4-star LB Keith Brown announced he would be leaving Oregon--just two days after he said he was staying put.

On today's episode of Locked On Ducks, Spencer McLaughlin reacts to a trio of transfers from the Oregon Football progrum from the weekend. Trevan Ma'ae and Jalil Tucker also announced their departures, with one leaving more promise behind than the other.

Oregon's Spring Game is set for April 29th and will provide a peak for fans into what coaches see at practice every day for the Ducks. The prospect of one day bringing in another team to scrimmage could be a viable option going forward.

Oregon Football's 2024 recruiting efforts leading into its Spring Game on April 29th, which should have an array of visiting prospects, are off to an excellent start. They landed their first high-profile national recruit in 4-star safety and borderline top 100 player Aaron Flowers out of Texas

On today's episode of Locked On Ducks, Spencer McLaughlin is joined by Locked On recruiting insider John Garcia to react to Flowers' choosing the Ducks over other schools like USC. Plus, another commitment in 3-star OT Trent Ferguson represents some real upside as an under-heralded recruit.

The Ducks remain without a 2024 quarterback recruit in a class that is very top-heavy at that position. Oregon may soon get a verbal commitment from a 3-star recruit, but more highly coveted prospects like Dylan Raiola and Elijah Brown remain on Oregon's radar.
