Some pundits are still projecting the team to do well next year and compete for the P12, super recruiting classes by AZ, USC and UW notwithstanding. #3 seed out West? Maybe.

Assuming PP returns, and in part because we will have rising stars Richardson and Okoro returning with valuable experience. Add an experienced JC guy in Duarte and 5 star CJW, who would be the only Freshman starting, you still have a leg up on the aforementioned teams as many of UO's players have valuable P12 and tourney experience. If we add Thomas, that will be yet another experienced incoming guy. They may need to have try outs for walk ons for practice, lol. Always new faces, but in Altman we trust.

Beefing up their staff down in Tempe. Should be a tough game down there this year.

According to the O....USC player Minyon Moore is visiting the Ducks this weekend. She is a potential Grad Transfer.

"This weekend, the Ducks are set to host USC graduate transfer Minyon Moore, a guard who averaged 14.8 points, 5.9 assists and 5.5 rebounds per game while earning Pac-12 all-defensive honors last season."

Sounds good to me!

Look of the line of people looking to summit at the same time. Surprised it's not even more deadly.

An update from Oregon on the Hayward renovation.

The Tower

We did a DSA Roundtable discussion on who will be the top fall newcomer on offense and defense. Some interesting answers...

Roundtable: Top Fall Newcomers

Johnson named his top six over the weekend and he is not planning to commit this summer, but it would not surprise me if those plans changed with visits to five of his top six scheduled.

This list could change in the coming weeks, but as of today, here is how I see it.

Not sure on the details yet, but multiple reports of his passing

Sure hope he Quaaaaks. The no's 1-2 JC guys, a 5 star and who we have returning would give UO an excellent core of experienced players to work with. Hurley is for sure a solid coach, but Thomas playing with Pritchard for the P12 champ and possible Tourney exposure must be appealing. I doubt ASU can suggest such lofty aspirations.

Seems like the softest of soft commits. Visits to Georgia and Miami, likes Florida, coming out with a top 5.

Good morning on the start of this new week. It's Memorial Day, a time to remember those we have lost.

Enjoy your day, hopefully folks get some time off today.

Oregon NLI Chi Okoro took 2nd in the girl’s 100 In 11.60 finishing ahead of 3rd place USC bound Jazmyne Frost (11.64) and just behind star sprinter, and Miami bound, Diana Nowling ...who went 11.55. That is a talented trio for a high school Championship.

Oregon NLI, Alysha Hickey, won the girl’s high jump and took second in the long jump. Alysha won the long jump last year, so she is a California High School Champion in two events. She is an outstanding athlete.

This could be a commit watch... have not heard from him that it is definitively a decision, but the rumblings are out that he is ready to lock in a spot. Cristobal and Mirabal really like the OL prospect and this would be a very good pickup should he pick Oregon.

Minyon Moore has committed to the Lady Ducks this afternoon!! Moore could be the missing piece to the puzzle getting us to the title game and a championship!

Go Ducks!!
