What will it take for a true freshman to crack Oregon's two-deep in 2023?

Time and time again throughout his first 19 months as Oregon's head coach, Dan Lanning has been asked about specific true freshmen, and whether they might have a chance to make an immediate impact for the Ducks. The response is almost always the same. "I’ve said it a bunch but if you’re good enough, you’re old enough," Lanning responded at Oregon's media last week. This year's version of the Ducks features a few players who are going to test that theory. Oregon boasts a 2023 singing class that was the eighth-best in the nation, according to the On3 Industry Ranking. Several of the program's early enrollees looked capable of pushing for playing time during spring ball, and several others could be depended on due to depth concerns at their respective positions.
