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.
