Excited to see if Mathis is the knockdown shooter we've been missing the last 2 seasons(although King was pretty darn good at the end of last season).

Love the super positive quotes about chemistry. That's obviously going to be a huge factor in a team that was thrown together so quickly.

Also, Dante's paperwork isn't all finished yet, so he's not practicing today. No timeline given on that yet, but hopefully it's a matter of days and not weeks.

Nice piece! Hopefully it won't take quite as long for the team to gel as so often is the case under Altman. I feel like I'm sort of accustomed to all the flowery preseason/offseason quotes about teammates getting along and great workouts, etc., so I'll definitely take a wait and see attitude. Hopefully it's all true!

Wouldn't it be sweet if the team decided they needed to be a defensive Juggernaut from day 1 instead of waiting until they decide the offense isnt going to get them anywhere. Or barring that, actually be an offensive power from day 1. I'll take either or hopefully both.

Sure hope that's the case. JUST ONCE I'd like Oregon Men's Basketball practice to start where everyone is ready to go, no one is being held out because of an injury or because he isn't fully qualified or whatever. Always seems to be something. The fact that Dante is obviously listed on the roster and is being openly discussed by the head coach gives me hope that it won't be too terribly long.

Altman plays it pretty close to the vest, but it sure seems like he doesn't want to talk about Dante much in that interview, like maybe the outcome is in some doubt. Hope it works out; we sure could use him in the post this year.
