Here's a look at the top state of Oregon-related recruiting stories of the past few days:
- Prediction: Oregon Ducks to land 5-star quarterback Dante Moore
Michigan and Texas A&M continue to push, but following five-star quarterback Dante Moore's return trip to Eugene, the Ducks appear to be in the driver's seat to land the coveted signal-caller.
Moore is the last remaining uncommitted five-star quarterback nationally.

Down to a final six of Alabama, Michigan State, Oregon, Texas A&M, UCLA and Washington, the Ducks have long been rumored to be the favorites.

Nevada four-star defensive lineman Kelze Howard had a frantic month of June, taking visits and also re-scheduling and canceling several trips.

He's looking around.
And Oregon is trying to make a major push.
