UCLA has quietly been putting in some work behind the scenes with five-star quarterback Dante Moore. The No. 4-ranked prospect in the 2023 class has finally decided today to make an official visit to Westwood this weekend to get an up-close look at the Bruins ahead of the early signing period. Moore, who has been committed to the Ducks since the summer, is slated to enroll early so he only has a short period of time to settle on a final choice. UCLA faces a bit of an uphill battle here as the feeling remains that he will remain locked in with the Ducks, but convincing a recruit of his stature to visit this late in the process is a big step in the right direction for a program hoping to flip him late.
Oregon recently lost its offensive coordinator, Kenny Dillingham, who is taking over the head coach position at Arizona State. Dillingham is a big reason Moore decided to end up committing to the Ducks originally, but Dan Lanning has taken a personal role in recruiting the star quarterback from Detroit in recent weeks to help take some of the concern away from Moore. The expected NIL deal Moore is set to receive at Oregon is reportedly substantial, and that is going to be part of any decision he makes. However, the success of the Bruins with Dorian Thompson-Robinson has certainly piqued Moore's interest enough to push him to make the trip out to Los Angeles this weekend.
