Ducks Attack Message Board Forum

They've got the #2 recruiting class in the country coming in so things aren't as bad you and some other Duck fans are making it.

Oregon is still top 2 or 3 talent wise in the PAC even after these transfers. Counting the #2 ranked incoming class coming but not counting likely transfers KG will bring in. Beats the heck out of OSU who at the end of the season was top 2 or 3 in returning talent but today lost their 4th starter in Taya Corosdale. They are now in the bottom half even with a Top 5 class coming in. They need transfers in badly.

Oregon still has 2 All-Pac level players and a third with all the tools to be one. They'll have 3 players 6'7" or taller players plus 2 penetrating guards but a hole in a 40% 3 point shooter. Hopefully that will be KG's next incoming transfer. If not Isai can do a bit of everything though I don't know her 3 pointer percentage. Gray was shooting 3s really well in the McDonalds game. (Plus in 2 years Amari Whiting is a PP3 clone and will be a fan favorite.)

Stanford has overwhelming talent but after that, Oregon will have the next most raw talent and they'll be a veteran dominated team for the first time since Sabrina and crew left. Hope they establish chemistry and a mid-range and inside game to weather their likely undependable 3 point shooting.

The good news is I got Kyei confused with Pinto so it's not as bad as what I first thought. If Oregon loses Kyei there are some problems. The bad news I went down the roster and Oregon has like 5 players right now. Although I compared Sedona Prince to Breanna Stewart because they both skilled for their size and sort of have a chip on their shoulder at times. However, Sedona Prince only came with Breanna's edge when that weight room thing happened. I do like Pao Pao but I'm worried she'll be asked to carry the whole team and even Sabrina wasn't asked to do that.

Parrish headed to IU now.

Not one of my predictions that I'm happy about. I really liked her skills and she seemed like the type that would get better as a junior and senior. However, I knew if Graves kept playing transfer players over her that she would go back to Indiana especially since they made the sweet 16.

Graves is saying that he and his staff are likely done and will stick with the 11 players they've got on roster. He thinks that adding more transfers on top of all the recruits just leads to more transferring as there isn't enough playing time to go around.
