Ok, first the women get a great class and then along come the men and get a class almost as good. What happened? Did the basketball world just get turned right side up?

Thereby completing maybe the best recruiting effort I've ever seen at Oregon. I don't know what is more exciting with Altman, the level of play when his team starts to gel every January, or the offseason when he cobbles together yet another team from juco players, grad transfers, and now he has added reclassifiers to his tool belt. I mean, the level of talent in these recruits makes it look like Altman had it planned this way all along. I don't know why Bailey and Norris left, but darned if Altman didn't use it as an opportunity to actually get better players!
Can't wait for this season to start, and I didn't think I would be saying that a few months ago.

Nemec points out that Dillon Brooks was also a re-classifier back in 2014, so apparently not a new strategy for Altman after all
I'd say this is probably his best off-season rebuilding/recruiting job he's ever done, topping the roster rebuildings he did in 2014, 2018, 2013 and 2012.

Probably the most talented roster Altman has ever had (definitely if you include the two players sitting out) and maybe potentially the best front court the Ducks have ever had. Dante is already projected as a Top 15 pick in next years draft. Pair him with Juiston, Okoro, and Walker and that's about as much muscle as you need. I think the signature of this team will probably be defense though. You have guys like Wur, Juiston and Patterson who also could be defensive monsters in this system. WOW!

This team is gonna be fun to watch.
You got your ball handlers in PP and Richardson.
Shooter in Mathis. Penetrating wings in Addison and Duarte. Bangers in Okoro and Juiston. Skilled big man/rim protector in Dante. High flyer in Walker. Haven’t seen much of Lawson so not sure where to categorize him.
This is a PAC-12 championship team, definitely starting the season in the top-15. Then for next season we’ll have two guys who have been in the system for a year. This is such a great time to be an Oregon fan.

Just incredible! Now there will just be my agonizing wait for the men's (and women's!) 2019-20 schedule to be finalized so I can plan some trips down to see some games.
