When 2023 5-star QB Dante Moore verbally committed to Oregon in July, Duck fans saw a clear future at the quarterback position. Now that he's flipped to UCLA, that future goes back to being murky beyond next year after Bo Nix announced he would return.

On today's episode of Locked On Ducks, Spencer McLaughlin discusses a rapid turnaround for the worse on the recruiting front. There are several contributing reasons to Oregon losing their top-rated 2023 recruit so close to the early window national signing period, some of which should put to bed concerns about Dan Lanning's ability to recruit.

Dan Lanning's attention now turns to finding a 2023 QB, including the possibility of reconnecting with a hot recruiting name from over the summer. The transfer portal looms as a continuing possibility.

Bo Nix announced his transfer to Oregon about a year ago, and now he's announced his return to the Ducks for the 2023 football season. In more ways than one, that's great news for Dan Lanning and the Ducks.

On today's episode of Locked On Ducks, Spencer McLaughlin reacts to the biggest Oregon Football news from over the weekend in the return of Bo Nix. What could that mean for Oregon's chances of holding onto the commitment of 2023 5-star QB Dante Moore?

He has to answer questions that only he himself knows the answer to with regards to his year 1 expectations surrounding playing time. Even with Bo Nix locked in as Oregon's starter in 2023, the Ducks are still an option Dante Moore would be wise to fully consider.

The transfer portal has already seen notable players like WR Dont'e Thornton and LB Justin Flowe depart the Ducks with plenty of untapped potential. Would an emerging contributor to the offense in Kris Hutson be next to try and find a place where he can get more touches?

On today's episode of Locked On Ducks, Spencer McLaughlin examines what could come next in the transfer portal/roster openings department for the Ducks. Brandon Dorlus and Noah Sewell are likely NFL Draft picks, so why hasn't either announced that he will declare?

Oregon added an under-the-radar addition to the 2023 cycle who could make a surprising, if understated, impact on the Ducks next year. Finally, a fun mailbag question to carry over into the weekend.

With the quarterback position somewhat uncertain going into next year, Duck fans are rightly monitoring 5-star verbal QB commit Dante Moore--one of the top high school recruits in the country for the 2023 cycle. Dante Moore recently took a surprise visit to UCLA, a school that he has not been tied to until this news came about.

On today's episode of Locked On Ducks, Spencer McLaughlin is joined by Locked On recruiting insider John Garcia. He sheds light on the Dante Moore situation with the early signing window less than 10 days away, and also gives an update on the pursuit of 5-star DT and current Texas A&M commit David Hicks.

The Ducks have added 2 transfers so far in LB Jestin Jacobs and WR Traeshon Holden, both of whom figure to be starters going into 2023. John gives insight as to what each player brings to the table for Dan Lanning and his staff.

Bo Nix had an exceptional season with Oregon Football in his inaugural campaign as a Duck--and Oregon fans are rightfully hoping it won't be his only season in green and yellow. What could the Ducks do from here on out to persuade him to return to Dan Lanning and the rest of the team?

On today's episode of Locked On Ducks, Spencer McLaughlin dives further into the possibility of Bo Nix coming back for a second season in Eugene. A good transfer WR like Traeshon Holden might not be the deciding factor, but another key addition this offseason could be the deciding factor.

Oregon will continue to have players arrive and depart via the transfer portal, so what sorts of players will they be looking for in general? Plus, Spencer answers a question about adding players in THIS transfer window compared to the Spring window that will afford player the same mobility opportunities.

Of all the questions surrounding Oregon Football going into 2023, perhaps the largest one is who will suit up at quarterback. Bo Nix hasn't made an official decision yet on whether to return to the Ducks, but should he want to come back to Oregon?

On today's episode of Locked On Ducks, Spencer McLaughlin dives into even more transfer portal news--which is unlikely to slow down while the window is open through mid-January. Their most recent addition is former Alabama WR Traeshon Holden. Spencer goes into what sort of player he is and where he fits into the Ducks' offense under new OC Will Stein.

In a surprising announcement, former 4-star TE Moliki Matavao announced he is transferring away from the Ducks. The move came seemingly out of nowhere for a player who had been pretty productive with a lot of upside, so where does the tight end room sit after this announcement?

Dan Lanning and his staff brought in several transfers ahead of this 2022 season, most of which were impact players like CB Christian Gonzales and RBs Bucky Irving/Noah Whittington. Now that Oregon can add players in the portal, where should the priority be to add players that can make an immediate impact in 2023?

On today's episode of Locked On Ducks, Spencer McLaughlin looks at one of the biggest offseason question for Dan Lanning after his first year in Eugene. After seeing nothing but departing players, Oregon has finally added its first addition via the transfer portal for next season.

Former Iowa LB Jestin Jacobs comes to Oregon by way of the portal with an eerily similar career trajectory to a player the Ducks just had go in the portal. Plus, a quick (potentially important) note on Oregon Basketball after a good looking win over Nevada.

Oregon has several roster questions heading into the 2023 season (with still a bowl game to play) and perhaps no bigger question mark than quarterback. Bo Nix could be coming back, but what if he doesn't and opts to begin his professional career?

On today's episode of Locked On Ducks, Spencer McLaughlin looks at the possibility of adding the former 5-star QB recruit this offseason. Lanning and company have plenty of other roster moves to make this offseason with the transfer portal and recruiting, what sorts of players are they looking for?

Oregon's defense was particularly disappointing in their 2 Pac-12 losses this season, and though these aren't the players Dan Lanning and DC Tosh Lupoi recruited themselves, there was still plenty of talent. So what exactly went wrong against Washington and Oregon State, and why did it show up so much better against the Utes?

Will Stein's prowess as an Xs and Os coach appear to be sufficient, based on his career at UTSA, for what Oregon needs to continue to score points at a high level. But what does the 33-year old who's never been at the Power-5 level bring to the table as a recruiter?

On today's episode of Locked On Ducks, Spencer McLaughlin is joined by Locked On recruiting insider John Garcia to talk about the latest recruiting news, including the potential for a highly coveted recruit to flip to Washington. Plus, the fallout from missing out on 4-star OT Spencer Fano who chose the 2x defending Pac-12 Champion Utah Utes instead.

Oregon has long been rumored as one of the teams in the mix for 5-star EDGE prospect Matayo Uiagalelei, who's brother (former Clemson quarterback DJ Uiagalelei) is in the portal--and Oregon is a potential landing spot. John talks about whether or not the brothers are seen as a package deal with one in the portal and one finishing his final year of high school football.
