Social Media Buzz: Oregon recruits react to big-time visitor weekend in Eugene
It was the last open weekend of recruiting in the 2023 cycle, and the Oregon Ducks made it count. With a couple dozen prospects in town for both official and unofficial visits, Dan Lanning and his staff pulled out all of the stops, and we’re able to utilize the best parts of Eugene — Autzen Stadium, Hayward Field, Matthew Knight Arena — to their advantage.
Guys like 5-star ATH Nyckoles Harbor and 5-star WR Dakorien Moore were in town, with a ton of other blue-chip prospects. After getting a feel for the campus, and feeling the energy at Oregon men’s basketball win over Utah on Saturday night, a lot of players left buzzing about the visit.
Here are some of the best media clips and social reactions after the weekend.

Huge thanks to the entire University of Oregon Football staff for hosting my guys & I. I’ve been a Duck fan for a long time, but every time I go up there I fall in love a bit more & a lot of the reason is the folks on the recruiting staff. They’re amazing. Appreciate you guys! pic.twitter.com/xfwI1L9aOJ
