I'd also add a shot blocker or at least the threat of one would be a big plus. I'm hoping she gets a look from our staff. https://fanstake.com/athletes/7963/s/ed ... from%20the

Elisa Mevius is the first WBB player to hit the portal. No surprise with Fiso and their other guards who'll be returning likely commanding most of the minutes.

Really good player. Enjoyed watching her a lot but she plays the most crowded position on the team. Though I didn't want to see her go the impact will not be large.

We need height and space eaters. Were we to start the season today. We would likely start 5'10" 6'1" 6'1" guards 6'1" PF 6'0" center. With the tallest reserves at 6'3" and a 6'4" true freshmen.

F Sarah Rambus will enter the portal. Not really surprising after she lost her starting role to Etute.

Absolutely expected this one. She is so close to being a good contributor and has improved and flashed more times each year, but she looked and played frustrated. I hope she does well next year where ever she lands. I was holding on to a smidgen of hope that she would stay and have a breakout year here.

Doesn't change my starting lineup projection but our biggest weakness just got worse.

F Sammie Wagner will transfer for her final season. Not a big loss as she played sparingly over the last 3 years.

I hate this. She’s battled injuries her whole time at Oregon, was hoping we’d see a healthy senior year breakout out from her.

I still remember how she graduated HS early so she could join the team and there were high hopes for her. Too bad all the injuries took their toll.

https://247sports.com/player/kennedy-holman-46156185/, Legacy recruit and daughter of Lisa Bowyer, https://www.sports-reference.com/cbb/pl ... yer-1.html. According to Graves, Elisa was told that she wasn't welcomed back, he didn't give any reason. I'd love to know what happened. My guess is that Falatea goes on a mission, or we're moving to a league that only allows players 6'4 and under. Nothing else makes sense.

https://goducks.com/sports/womens-baske ... iams/17464. She entered the portal today, the type of player that would get more playing time each year. The portal doesn't cater to patience. Good luck to you

Janiyah Williams. Hard to get too upset about losing a guard on this team, but I agree with you. She looked in line for more minutes and her per 40 minute stats were very good. I had her penciled in for first guard off the bench next year. Especially since it looks like a this point 6'2" Avery Cain as the second tallest player on the roster (wish I was kidding) is a forward though she was among the worst rebounder of last years guards.

Once they added Holman, had a feeling that Williams would be gone. The guard position seems fairly full at this point but I could see them adding another vet so it's not just underclassmen as the bench players. The biggest additions need to come in the frontcourt so I expect them to go after 3-4 posts.

I wonder how much NIL WBB has compared to the rest of the conference? I know UCLA and USC are loaded for WBB, but where does Oregon fit in with the rest?
