Which begs the question, does it matter? If we take our sample data from the last few seasons, we see that transfers (although they are only here for usually one or two years) end up being pretty effective, while our high school commits seldom last a career at Oregon.greenyellow wrote:Not looking good for Oregon in getting another HS recruit.

With the way things are going, I bet they could get out of their LOI and go elsewhere.Phalanx wrote:Is it too late for a player who signed an LOI with one school to instead sign with another out of conference? Asking for a friend.
Just watched some highlights. Undersized but plays aggressive. He can slash with some quickness but also shoots really good percentages. Extremely scrappy, especially on defense, tons of steals.greenyellow wrote:

I think we will have 7 scholarships players, so sounds right.StevensTechU wrote:Altman has 6 open scholarships to use, right? Would someone else mind confirming?
I know I said this once before on here, but if I was Altman, I wouldn’t waste anymore time recruiting HS players. It makes no sense for him and his system. If a 4 or 5* kid really wants to come, then fine. But spending 2 years + tons of money and resources to get unproven HS kids is insane when you think about it. You can hit the transfer portal hard for a month or two and get high-level college talent that is proven. Plus, Altman is a wizard at putting piece together and getting them to gel.UOducksTK1 wrote:Which begs the question, does it matter?

Dana Altman has a unique skill of getting players who have never played together to compete at a high level very quickly. So 1-year transfers don't scare me as much these days.
So should fans desire more transfers over recruits? 50-50? What's the number we should be hoping for?

I am probably the only one that is okay with this for some reason. I am not sure why everyone is so dead set on having kids here for 4 years. If we are winning, I don’t care how we do it.

Trying to keep up with this cycle is too frenetic for my tastes but I did see someone else say 6 scholarships.
