No team, not even the Oregon Ducks, will be a finished product on Day 1. They might not have been a finished product last year for the Civil War. It’s a constant state on improvement and that’s what Dan Lanning is ultimately looking for as the 2024 Spring Camp begun Thursday/
“I think effort and technique … and then are you making the same mistakes you made Day 1, right? We’ve got to eliminate those as we go forward but it’s just about constant improvement, constant growth,” he said. “You can’t eat an elephant in one bite, right? It takes one day at a time, a little bit better each day.”
Oregon will need to see that constant growth perhaps a little more quickly in 2024 as the Ducks head into the Big Ten Conference with heavyweights such as Michigan and Ohio State waiting for them on the schedule.
The Ducks have a whole host of newcomers on the 2024 roster, so improvement, growth, attention to detail, and developing team chemistry will be more important than in most seasons.
They do have the talent and the depth to accomplish what most think they are capable of accomplishing, but it won’t come together in a day or a practice. It’ll take a series of practices and games for this group of ducks to become the Ducks and watching that journey will be almost as fun as the games themselves.
