GUT PUNCH: Dakorien Moore Picks Oregon over Texas | Longhorns Football | Recruiting News 

People don’t look and realize that Oregon had the #1 passing offense in the country last year with the most passing TDs. Lanning is a defensive minded coach, but Will Stein gets the ball to his receivers

Lanning isn’t leaving Eugene. He would have taken the Bama job if he wanted to leave.

He's already picked someone other than Texas 2x, I just don't think it was in the cards.

I know we usually say recruit through the whistle, but in this case I think we need to let him go

I would stop recruiting Moore. Twice he has picked another team over UT. Go all in on Fasusi, Lockett and Ffrench. Win on the field and the guys who want to be at Texas will come.

Oregon has Junior Adams. He put in the NFL Cooper Cupp and Puka Nacua. The man knows what he is doing. Oregon adds two highly rated 5* receivers in this class to last years amazing receiver class that included Jurion Dickey. At Oregon at least two receivers per year are guarantee 1,000 yard seasons. I am glad to see this young man go where he can develop best.

Pathetic by Texas. Best season in 15 years. And getting dog walked in recruiting.

Stop recruiting him, work on defensive lineman

I’m so tired of hearing recruit through the whistle. All it means is that we’re losing A LOT of recruiting battles

I left the live when he said we wanted to be different lol.

The football team gets good and the recruiting turns into crickets. Weird dynamic shift after not winning and still having top 15 and top 10 classes all those years

I'm an Oregon fan. Ecstatic with this get. I have to say, however, I really enjoy listening to Bobby Burton and Gerry Hamilton. Very pragmatic and skilled at what they do. I used to live in Texas, so I know how serious they take their football. You all will do just fine with your recruitment. Keep up the good work.

Texas getting their clock cleaned on NIL. OU and now twice by Oregon

Man, this recruiting cycle sucks bad. Hard to watch all these losses, but losing your states number one prospect? Thats almost unforgivable.

This a waste of a recruiting cycle. Huge misses DK Moore, Devin Sanchez, Jonah williams, Dorian brew, riley pettijohn. How did we get 11 people drafted, and a college football appearance and it turn into literally zero recruiting momentum. This is turning out to be a huge missed opportunity.

Laughing stock, embarrassing. This has turned into a clown show.

How do we go to the playoff and do worse in recruiting. Wtf is going on

To hell with DK...st8 like that. He crapped on us twice, move on and focus on somebody to hit him when we play him.

Man, im worried about our recruiting class this year. What is happening behind the scenes and what is being said about Texas for us to miss on so many top recruits?

Texas didn’t get outbid. People need to stop making that excuse. It’s ridiculous. Texas has as much or more money than anyone. Kids just love Dan Lanning, parents love Dan Lanning, his players love him. Sark just hasn’t been able to close over him. Caldwell/Sharma/Muhammed/Moore etc.

Sco DUX 🇺🇸💚💛🇺🇸💚💛🇺🇸

Maybe Choice should have been in charge of his recruiting

So we need to start switching up jerseys

Worried about this class

Hurts, but wrs are easier to find, but he was a good one

It’s recruiting folks. It still not over but happy for DK either way. These decisions are not easy but we need to respect them.

Leave the kid alone. Alot of y'all speaking on NIL money. When your QB is riding around in an Aston Martin SUV and you're former RB was riding around on a Lambo!! You're the richest school in the NCAA. He chose TWO schools ahead of you. Deal with it like everyone else that recruited him.

This hurts but WR is not a position I worry about hookem

I bet there loving it in college station

Y’all need to get your sh*t together. You’ve been off this entire recruitment season

I could see Moore picking Ohio State over Texas. Buckeye QB room is as stacked as anyone. But Oregon…Dude needs to shake up his advisor brain camp! Wake Up! It takes a premium QB to make WR look good!

Gut Punch was not doing a live like you said y'all would.. Shame. Loyal watcher but Do Better

I’m not losing hope but the recruiting trend is not good. We should be excelling in recruiting after the successful season and with us joining the SEC. Something needs to change

Y'all keep saying recruiting through the whistle but stop and worry about where it's needed.

That announcement was hard ti watch

Our WR room is legit, good luck to the young man but UT is going to be just fine in the receiver room.

TOUGH LOSS, but you have to move on. Texas and Sark will recover, but pressure is on. Texas needs another great season, which I expect, to regain momentum.

Thanks for the bs live...

Oregon may not have the typical NFL offense but they had two receivers last year that went over 1000 yards so he knows he’s gonna be productive in the offense

Onto the next. He doesn't want to be here and that's his decision. Hopefully they get at least one of the 4 WRs they had on campus. At the end of the day, transfer portal is there for a reason and we have bigger issues than missing out on DK. 🤘🏼🤘🏼

I’m disappointed we couldn’t get him, but Ffrench is also a special wr in this class. I will heartbroken if we don’t get him

No team can win em all. You guys are still Texas, you'll kill it more and more. Hope you guys have a great season.

Just wait until those Texas boys start take those cross Country winter trips. I want Texas to stop playing the long game and just coach up who the hell we get

As some point we will have to open up that check book at that culture stuff doesn’t work with kids all the time

Sark needs to figure these kids out earlier in the process to find out if they are just playing Texas. You don't see Georgia or Alabama 'playing the long game' and they are the Gold Standard of recruiting. They did it last year and it was a minor miracle to just get to #6

his coach at Duncsnville has a son on the Oregon staff , the coach isnt ginna give much acess to the player who got his son a job 😮

If he doesn't want to be a Longhorn we don't need him. There's a lot of great players right now at Texas. He doesn't like to compete against great players. This reminds me of what happened when Hudson committed to Texas Tech. Texas finished with a great recruiting class.

Money does not talk. M O N E Y S H O U T S !

All you hear is Texas has money. Wonder where it’s being spent ?

Pathetic..it's fine to recruit to the whistle but you got to keep your states best in your state. Remember when sark told Klatt adapt or die, time to put up or shut up sark.

My biggest concern is this. Why are we getting out recruited by A&M? They had s horrible season, and a new coaching staff?

He wanted no distractions. Family & Friends begging for tickets, and friends wanting to party after the game. Going to Oregon, you get ZERO outside distractions, and can focus on your craft and make the next level.

He went where he wanted to be like Gerry said. Congrats and just go on to the next one. Lockett and Ffrench hopefully come through

The portal will provide us wr no problem. Break the bank on O line and D line.

Still waiting for all of that momentum you were talking about 2 weeks ago

I tell you what, it’s harder to find D linemen than receivers. I don’t see this as a huge loss. His path to the field is a lot easier in Oregon than in Austin.

I say, if they don't want to be at Texas, that's fine. Enough talent out there

If Kids go somewhere else purely for the $...they do not need to be in our Program.

If they don't want to play at the University of Texas, do the best with those who do.

Texas clearly ain't quite back. Recruiting blunder after blunder. This is getting embarrassing. 2025 class is turning into a joke.

Oregon & Phil Knight thanks you for your support in wearing Nike on those uniforms 🤣

We'll be fine guys. Go longhorns!!

It is NIL the money is the same color but the amount is different

It’s crazy how much home grown talent is breed in the state of Texas, but a lot of these guys end up playing for out of state schools.

I'm going lie this was a shock to me after he decommit from LSU i thought Tx Longhorn had this in the bag

Tell me recruiting is fine this year…

This and DT is quite concerning. Hook em

Brutal week. Hookem 🤘🏻

I could tell by y'alls behavior this morning that he wasn't picking Texas. Extremely disappointing.

Ouch 😣! Guys a top 10 pick in the draft right now. With all the things going for us, going into the SEC, CFP, etc how is the recruiting this poor?

Have fun playing in Iowa City and West Lafayette in October. Hook em 🤘🏾

he went to the school where his HS coach's son coaches. This should not be a surprise.

Let the kid go!! There are lots of really good receivers this year.

Bobby, DK could ask for release of his LOI after singing if there’s coaching changes even an assistant coach. It happen to Texas after Bo Davis left.

This hurts. A month ago I thought Texas was red hot but I am majorly concerned at the moment ugh

If this makes room for ffrench AND Lockett I’ll take it. We didn’t get Hudson either last cycle and it’s looking like wingo is the better pick up. Get over it guys. It’s one player. Maybe moore doesnt want to share the touches in a thick WR room.

Truthfully this isn't a huge deal for Texas. WR is not a position or concern for us right now, would it have been nice to have him, yes. But its not going to hurt us.

We aren't short on Wr's. Losing the best d lineman in the state hurts more. We can get Wr's all day.

I’m not upset with this recruitment because we still have Ffrench and Lockett!!! Hookem 🤘🏾

The way I see it is he knew it would be easier to play at Oregon. We have great WR and still a chance to land 2 5stars in this class. Big problem is interior Dline! Still hurts though

Sark and staff ain’t getting it done. What a colossal loss

Oregons offense is looking like a machine, they are going to be scoring lots of touchdowns.

Oregon is doing a&M did a couple of years ago . It didn't work for evan stewart .

Sharma. Brew. Moore. I'm traumatized. wow but they have something in the water right now

This is an outrage... Sco Ducks

Gerry loves to push "Recruit thru the whistle". That will have to be the focus going forward as Texas is ranked #23 in 2025 recruiting, Oregon ranked #5 thanks to pilfering Texas's top recruits. All their rivals are ranked much higher and lowly SMU is ranked ahead of Texas. Get the whistles ready!

Dang. Prerecorded lol.

We let him go. Oregon making us their bitch

We need some better looking uniforms to get recruits

Going to be sweet coming off playoff run to finish with the 19th best class 🎉

Maybe sark should recruit 2 stars because Oregon won't be in on them

Dan Lanning turned down Alabama last season to sign a long term extension at Oregon. Why on earth would he leave the juggernaut he's building to randomly take a job at UF? He has 0 connections to the program or area.

It’s starting to seem that Oregon, Texas A$M, Oklahoma, LSU, Florida St, and others are targeting the Texas recruits that they are needing and coming in hard late right before committing to throw money and promises at key recruits to steal them before they commit to Texas. Numerous players are rumored to be trending to commit to Texas and another school swooped in late with Longhorn’s fans scratching our heads and finishing second place in the recruitment. Texas is winning out on some because the player like Wingo or Simmons wanted Texas more than the NIL promises from late poachers in my opinion. Even portal guys are being poached late when Texas leads like Oregon and Oklahoma got guys wanted at DT last December. Very frustrating and Sark should rethink his NIL negotiations to stop some poachers who think that Texas will stop negotiating at the end if they don’t feel it’s worth it to compete is how it looks to me. Sark’s strategy of making NIL the last thing that he discusses is great because you want to know which guys want to truly play for Texas and which ones care more about money and who wants to pay the most, but finishing second for elite top needed recruits will have Texas step up their NIL game or these ugly recruiting loses will happen again and again with the rug pulled out from under Texas feet. Georgia is getting the guys they want and rarely lose guys with flips or with NIL bidding, same with Ohio St and Alabama, they step up and get most of the recruits that they want. This is Sark’s decision on taking recruiting to a higher level and I am not giving up on this 2025 class or Sark’s ability to get it done. He needs to recognize what is happening and go big, we will see what happens.

Would have been a good addition to the team but he didn't pick us and we will be just fine

Stop recruiting him, it looks bad

He wasn't ever coming to Texas. Money talks and if we were in his shoes we would probably do the same. Just move on

He needs to give it up on him and move on to the other 2

Phil knight dropped the bag plain and simple, Justin hill said Phil tried to up it last minute for him too

Personally I think all the Crystal Balls and RPMs made him want to go against the grain. Sometimes those things a counter productive.

Top 15 class here we come
