On Monday morning, the breaking news that almost everyone saw coming was officially announced.
5-star quarterback Dante Moore — the No. 3 player in the 2023 class — flipped his commitment from the Oregon Ducks to the UCLA Bruins. It’s a move that had been foreshadowed for a couple of weeks following Moore’s official visit to Los Angeles over a week ago, and his decision to not take a visit to Eugene this past week. Numerous predictions have come in over the past several days that had Moore making the flip, and they proved to be true.
So how do you feel as a Duck fan?
Had this news come 24 hours ago, it likely would have hurt a lot more, wouldn’t it? The truth is that Oregon got a big win on Sunday night when quarterback Bo Nix announced his return for the 2023 season. The Ducks now know who their QB will be next year, and while it’s a tough blow to miss out on the highest-rated QB to ever commit to Oregon, the Ducks are going to be just fine going forward.
