Ducks Attack Message Board Forum

I know some have already been discussing this possibility, but since this seems like the most likely scenario to me, I thought a thread dedicated to the idea might be good -- especially since it may not be until late next month before we know for sure. (And by "All" I of course mean those who were not seniors this past season.)

I'm guessing we'd still be a top 20 team in the preseason polls. Hopefully that new-found dedication to defense carries over into next season.

Miles Norris intrigues the heck out of me, and inserting his size and length into Paul White's vacant spot seems... like an upgrade, at least defensively?

If King doesn't come back, as is the basis for this thread, I'm under the assumption Altman will look for a plug-and-play grad transfer to play on the wing, presumably a 3-pt specialist. Wilcox looks like an intriguing kid, but the team is going to miss King's scoring punch.

Rayjon tucker would be nice.

People are speculating that Jordan Brown, the Nevada Wolfpack forward who just entered the transfer portal, could be Oregon bound. Just thought I'd throw that out there.

So next year the 1st round of Tournament games on the west coast will be played in Spokane and Sacramento with the West Final in LA at the Staples Center.

In 2022, Moda will host opening round games.

This is how O-Live analyzed this scenario, calling it the "most likely.":

Oregon has either six players returning with King gone and assuming Pritchard and Wooten return and Walker, Lawson and Duarte signed. That leaves Dana Altman with a lot of flexibility for four open spots.

The basic framework is based around Pritchard at the point, Walker likely at small forward and Wooten at center. Whether Okoro or Lawson starts would be determined later, as would whether Duarte steps in at shooting guard or comes off the bench, in which case Will Richardson might start.

If either Anthony or Stanley signs on, that’s raises the talent and depth even further. If both do, that’s a fairly loaded roster.

Of course, the more additions that come in on the wings the more likely it becomes that Bailey Jr. might look elsewhere since his minutes were trending down on a short bench as is.

If everyone but King returns, the Ducks still probably need to add a guard.
