Phillips looks pretty raw at this point, and Simpkins looks like an end of the bench guy to me. Who knows what Frakes and Lindsay will be. I have high hopes for both, but they’re both pretty big question marks at this point.

It looks to me like this team pretty much needs Sarr (less and less likely the longer this plays out imo) and another ball handler that can shoot efficiently in the backcourt to be dangerous this year. And that’s assuming that Bittle comes back.

Long way to go.
This is basically assuming Lindsay, Simpkins, and Phillips all fail to develop and take a step backwards. There's a good chance at least one of the guys step into a starting role and are a positive addition to the starting lineup.

Pipe dream, but wild to even see our name there.

Oregon does have a Brand that gets its hat on the table. (Remember when they used to do it that way)

Well, Goodman is allegedly a scumbag, and will no longer be coming to Oregon.

Dana needs to pull some kind of miracle out of his hat at this point. This team is looking all kinds of thin, and it would be an absolute shame to waste Bittle’s final season and the junior seasons for Shelstad and Evans.

Right now we’ve got those three guys, a few players that are projects (Pryor, Stewart, Phillips), a couple guys that are pretty much unknown quantities (Lindsay, Frakes), and a couple guys that profile as end-of-the bench players that you’d hope won’t be relied on for anything significant (Simpkins, Kobzystyi).

What a loser... Honestly, he looked like such a project anyway. We'll probably be just as good off finding a foreign Center who has some upside. I'm not super worried. I'm more worried of our inability to get a very good starter at SG/SF to be that #3 scorer.

Didn’t hear about Goodman so decided to look it up, yikes that is really messed up! Glad he won’t be wearing an Oregon jersey.

Oregon really has to scramble now for a backup center as most of the good ones with any amount of proven production/upside are gone. Still would be nice if they could find a decent shooter and an actual backup PG.
