He is the only one on there saying it so I have no idea how credible a MSU insider is. Now if it was a national guy it would have a different story. I am thinking he is probably doing this for some motives that aren't to good?.
November 7th, 2022 at 7:38 AM ^
Dan Lanning is interested in the Auburn job, So i would have to bet Dante is looking around still.
November 7th, 2022 at 7:53 AM ^
I haven't seen this information anywhere. Dan Lanning has his team in the top 10 and obviously has a bunch of great recruits coming in to solidify his position. He isn't from Alabama and didn't go to any name school eliminating some of the pull coaches feel to go "home." Why would he leave Oregon to coach at Auburn and have to play Saban and Smart every year? It seems like the Auburn job is a two-horse race between Deion Sanders and Hugh Freeze.
November 7th, 2022 at 8:06 AM ^
Prime Time needs to be in Floriduh - do not go to Auburn, Prime! That place is set up for a scumbag like Hugh Freeze...
November 7th, 2022 at 8:17 AM ^
I know nothing, but Oregon is about to be stuck in a dead conference. Can’t help retention
November 7th, 2022 at 8:20 AM ^
Why would he leave Oregon to coach at Auburn and have to play Saban and Smart every year?
Because the Pac-12 is about to collapse in on itself and he doesn't want to be coaching a team in an irrelevant conference? Maybe this becomes moot if Oregon comes along with UCLA and USC in joining the Big Ten, but I can see a hot coaching prospect in a middling conference acquiring a wandering eye.
November 7th, 2022 at 9:01 AM ^
This argument has merit when comparing the Pac 12 to the Big Ten and SEC but it won't be an apples to oranges comparison once the new playoff format begins. There will be 12 playoff slots. The Pac 12 is getting at least one. Oregon will be the class of the Pac 12 once UCLA and USC leave. Lanning is looking at a bunch of 10 plus win seasons and multiple playoff invites over the next decade.
November 7th, 2022 at 11:11 AM ^
Its two fold, The current OC/QB coach is an alum at ASU, They are looking at him for HC next year. Lanning is a midwest guy who mainly has coached in the SEC, SEC is not going anywhere as opposed to the PAC. Auburn might be down but you can still recruit auburn better than oregon. I don't think coaches worry about the conference they are going to anymore. BK just left ND for a harder job at LSU. If you think you can win you think you can win anywhere.
November 7th, 2022 at 11:40 AM ^
Lanning has no roots in the Pacific Northwest. He was born in Missouri, and spent the prior 7 seasons coaching in the south, with stints at Sam Houston St., Alabama, Memphis, and Georgia. He might decide to stay and make his mark in Oregon, but it's not at all far-fetched that he'd want to return to the SEC.
Whether that will have any impact on Moore's decision is a different question.
November 7th, 2022 at 8:34 AM ^
From what I can tell, UM doesn’t have a QB commit for Dante’s class. Alabama has the #10 AND #11 QB’s from that class listed a “Hard Commit”?!?
I know we have strong 2024 QB vibes and JJ is certainly staying put. But, this all seems so odd.
Any dark corner of the internet about what happened with 2023 QB situation (Jim’s NFL flirtation doesn’t seem enough for this cluster) Why it can’t be fixed? The juicer the rumor the better!
November 7th, 2022 at 11:33 AM ^
They also got a 2024 commit from 5 star QB Saying.

“Insane asylums are filled with people who think they're Jesus or Satan. Very few have delusions of being a guy down the block who works for an insurance company.”
November 9th, 2022 at 10:04 AM ^
Insane asylums are not a thing. We house our crazy with the unfortunate on the street. A similar myth is the lower class recruit. These 5 star athletes come with an inbound private qb coach and solid middle class problems.
I have read the books, but no one understands the current landscape because it is the wild west.
November 7th, 2022 at 6:49 AM ^
Recruiting no longer makes any sense to me. If I were him I would go to Oregon... They have deep money bags and from what we have been told, his whole family is set.
Did Oregon cool on him?
Was he impressed by MSU tunnel fighting?
Is he using this as leverage against Oregon?
Whatever it is, it is in bad taste.
November 7th, 2022 at 7:04 AM ^
On top of that their offense looks legit. Making Bo Nix look like a hiesman candidate.
November 7th, 2022 at 7:56 AM ^
Actually, this angle is the only one that makes any sense. Kenny Dillingham, Oregon's OC, is likely to get a look from ASU (his alma mater) for the vacant HC position but any discussion along that line is incredibly premature at this point.
November 7th, 2022 at 9:05 AM ^
Even if you are worried the OC is going to leave, would you really choose instead a program that has been known for having a horrible offensive line and a mediocre offense for at least the last half a dozen years?
November 7th, 2022 at 9:50 AM ^
I am not suggesting Moore would be making a good choice in doing so, I am just saying that is the only plausible reason to reconsider Oregon. If I am Moore I stay the hell away from Staee for too many reasons to count. As was said in an earlier thread, if he wants to look around there are teams that make way more sense than that steaming pile of inferiority complex.
November 7th, 2022 at 10:50 AM ^
That's quite the conclusion you reached based on a random CB.
November 7th, 2022 at 6:54 AM ^
Maybe Dante likes the 'fighting spirit' of MSU, maybe the poster is a click-bait whore, or maybe Oregon has soured on him. None of this is out of the realm of possibility. Personally, I could care less, as a shiney new QB playing behind MSU's woeful OL doesn't frighten me much.
November 7th, 2022 at 8:33 AM ^
I vote on the Click-bait whore.
November 7th, 2022 at 8:53 AM ^
How much less could you care?
November 7th, 2022 at 9:10 AM ^
Not very much. Less than which pair of socks I might don today, but probably more than the fate of a cockroach I might step on.
November 7th, 2022 at 6:57 AM ^
Apparently this "insider" just posts random shit and hopes he's right
November 7th, 2022 at 9:11 AM ^
Yeah, we have the same thing on our side, those who shall not be mentioned here. I'm sure every big school has similar bloodsuckers attached to them.
November 7th, 2022 at 6:57 AM ^
From what I gather on Twitter, that guy who CB'd him to MSU is one of those who throws out wild CBs to get subscriptions, then changes it in the last hour to keep his prediction score high. I wouldn't take that seriously.
November 7th, 2022 at 11:38 AM ^
This is type of information I was looking for. I could give two sh*** about MSU media guys as they are as slimy as the University.
November 7th, 2022 at 6:58 AM ^
I guess it could happen if something happened with Oregon or the checks didn't clear but it would be pretty crazy for a guy to want to go to MSU over the dozens of better programs out there who would also want him if he skipped out of Oregon.
At this point Moore is pretty clearly not going to Michigan so where he winds up elsewhere is sort of just an interesting side-note.
November 7th, 2022 at 7:00 AM ^
It would only make sense. The best players are flocking to play for Tuck. Keep chopping!
November 7th, 2022 at 7:01 AM ^
I have put my Crystal BALLS in for Dante Moore to Ms. U with a confidence level of 10, until further notice.
With that being said it's subject to change before he signs. I have a 100% rate on my Crystal BALLS.
November 7th, 2022 at 7:31 AM ^
Saw someone on a random message board that Lanning was talking to Auburn. Don't know if that's true or not but if he left and Oregon stays in the 2nd class conference PAC-whatever I would look around if I were Dante as well.
November 7th, 2022 at 8:14 AM ^
Leaving the security of Eugene and Nike for the booster hellscape that is the southern Alabama plains would certainly be... a choice.
November 7th, 2022 at 9:46 AM ^
'Talking' is a very generic way of describing it that could mean anything.
Auburn will have a list of potential hires, and it's not unreasonable that Lanning would be on that list. Someone representing Auburn calls him to gauge his interest. So technically they're talking, even if the conversation is very short.
Maybe Lanning wants a raise for himself and/or his assistants. He has a longer conversation to put pressure on Oregon even if he really isn't serious. Not like we haven't seen that before.
November 7th, 2022 at 11:59 AM ^
The Auburn stuff is intriguing but the list of people interested in that job is pretty long and I've heard elsewhere that while Lanning's name has come up the new Auburn AD wants someone with a bit more experience running a program precisely because Auburn is such a madhouse you need someone with gravitas and a plan. Lanning has done well at Oregon but it's been 1 year. I guess if you strike out on a bunch of guys you make the call but heck, Deion has a better track record of consistent success and program building at Jackson St. and I'd consider him a longshot.
November 7th, 2022 at 7:34 AM ^
There are rumors that the Oregon coach might be leaving for Auburn. Related?
November 7th, 2022 at 7:58 AM ^
Moore isn't going to Oregon for the coach. If that were to happen Oregon would hire a high profile coach anyways. That being said Moore is going there for the Nike money and Oregon is still a respectable school that made Justin Herbert and Mariota.
November 7th, 2022 at 7:40 AM ^
Complete MSU propaganda to seem relevant after losing a bunch of recruits and not wanting the entire class to implode.
November 7th, 2022 at 9:27 AM ^
And he is the only msu insider to cb him. The others are saying don't get your hopes up.
November 7th, 2022 at 7:50 AM ^
The MSU 247 "reporters" are all clowns.
November 7th, 2022 at 7:54 AM ^
Whatever gives those rejects false hope is just fine.
November 7th, 2022 at 8:00 AM ^
Why do we care?
November 7th, 2022 at 9:29 AM ^
Because 247 has him rated as the 2nd best prospect in the entire country. Would have to be msu's best recruit ever in football right? Seems relevant.
November 7th, 2022 at 8:09 AM ^
I think there is better chance that he over heard somebody “state” that Dante was flipping to “Michigan” but let them have their fun……it’s what little bros do best!
November 7th, 2022 at 8:24 AM ^
This is all hypothetical, but if he wants to go to MSU that’s his business. And if he still wants to make that choice, after how their season has gone down and especially after last week‘s events went down, then I’m not sure he would’ve ever wanted to be at Michigan for a reason that he and Harbaugh mutually agreed on. So there may have never been a fit.
And if he wants to play behind THAT OL, well then as the southern folk say, bless your heart, Dante.
November 7th, 2022 at 8:34 AM ^
Tuck comin’ back again????
