LOOK: Recruits Visit Eugene as Oregon Kicks off Spring Practice

Dan Lanning and the Ducks hosted an impressive group of recruits in Eugene as they held

Recruiting never stops in college football, which is why Dan Lanning and the Oregon Ducks have a detailed approach for talent acquisition.

While the on-field product got a lot of attention last week with the start of spring practice, the Ducks used that as an opportunity to showcase their program and what they're building.

A large wave of talented recruits made their way out to Eugene this past week and weekend for the chance to see the Ducks for themselves, taking in a practice and touring the facilities.

"Our best pitch in recruiting is when people come and watch that practice and they see the way we work," Lanning said about how the importance of hosting recruits in spring. "They see how we develop talent and they see how much our guys enjoy practice. It's really important for us to take advantage of this beautiful place, get people here where they can experience it first hand and see it for themselves."

Here's a quick look at some of the recruits that came through Eugene.
