Back to back top 5 recruiting classes

Post by UOducksTK1 »

I don't care how you dice it up, sure we don't have many guys from last class still here, and ya we needed a lot of guys this year... but the fact we could land two top five classes is ridiculous.

And do you see who we have legit shots at for the 2020 class? Altman is putting in work!

That Final Four run has really given Altman and Oregon some legitimacy on the recruiting trail. Also doesn't hurt to have Nike and the loads of custom shoes/gear in their corner.

I don't follow recruiting too closely, anyone want to give us a rundown on how the 2020 class looks at this stage?

No commits yet, but:
G Jalen Green (5 stars, #3 prospect. Oregon is in his top 5)
F Scottie Barnes (5 stars, #8 prospect. Oregon is his leader)
CG Nimari Burnett (5 stars, #22 prospect. Oregon is in his top 5, visiting Sept 20)
Those 3 guys all know ecah other really well and Oregon is a common denominator.

SF Ziaire Williams (5 stars, #5 prospect)
C Makur Maker (5 stars, #6 prospect, Oregon is in his top 3)
SG Moses Moody (4 stars, #43 prospect. Oregon is his leader)

And many others.

We are literally saying no to a top 150 prospect, who is a SF from New Jersey, because we have so many top options at SF. It's getting crazy...

Kadary Richmond. Word is he might not have a full commitable offer right now because of what we have left on the board.

For as much as we've bemoaned the unevenness of PG recruiting during Altman's tenure. Two of his three four year graduates will have been impressively durable PG's, Jonathan Lloyd and Payton Pritchard. Both were Pac-12 Tournament MVP's too.
