Why is that? Huskies have fourteen. I must have missed something.

Injuries

Remember they had bunch of transfers last spring and Nyara Sabally is injured.

thanks. Then the injured players are not on the roster so it must be serious.

Like was pointed out above, players transferring is the primary reason the Ducks are short on numbers. Every current scholarship player, injured or otherwise, is listed on the official roster.

Here is a link to an article detailing the transfers...

I sure have forgotten a lot. Those transferred players really hurt but the current players stepped up big time. I hope they have the stamina to hang tough. Thanks to you all.

They also transferred late in the spring so Graves didn't really have a chance to fill those spots. He's reloading next but they're all international players. Still trying to figure out why no top American HS players are wanting to play for Oregon as next year, the majority of the roster will be international players.

That is a very good and concerning question on the top american recruits passing on us.
I'm hoping it's going we can pick up some soon before the Ionescu class leaves.

I wouldn't count on them getting any before Sabrina's class leaves since out of the top 100 recruits in the 2019 class, only one remains uncommitted and she's likely staying down South.

Hadn't realized Yeager played for the first time since December, in the Arizona game. I know she's had back problems, but I'm hoping she can provide a bit more than just garbage time minutes as the ladies continue through conference play.

That would be beyond crazy if Yaeger could not play

To me, Anneli Maley was the big loss last year. She did all the glue things and would have made a big jump this year. McGuire would have helped alot this year as well. As it stand the Ducks have a staring 5 as good as anyone. If the women can't get it done this year, next year with some top-flight foreign players joining the team, particularly Nyara Sabally, they are going to be extra special.

Losing Cazorla will certainly not be "nothing" next year. Hopefully Chavez will be able to fill a good portion of that void.

I would think good players want to play with good players. It almost seems like the opposite has happened.
I certainly get the pull of Stanford and UConn and Notre Dame. But Oregon has certainly shown that Graves can coach and he gives good players opportunities to be stars.

I agree, Anneli had some physicality to her game too and a lot of hustle.
Honestly Maley, McGuire and even Ayuso (although Chavez kind of makes up for it) were tough losses.
