Best Oregon news I have heard in months. Who’s your starting 5 as of today? Hopefully they add another guard. Shelstad - lock Simpkins - combo guard on a roster very short on guards. Lindsay - can play multiple positions. Shot better than 50% from the floor and better than 40% from three. Rebounds well. Does lots of little things. Will it translate to the next level? My bet is yes. He will be the surprise player on this roster. Evans - lock Bittle - lock

Oregon was killing it in football recruiting over the past three years. Now this offseason, something has clearly changed. They have missed on a 1/2 dozen top level recruits and had multiple key decommitments over the past three months. Oregon has 7 total commitments and is in danger of dropping out of the Top25 recruiting rankings, all while most teams are nearing 3/4 to full capacity recruiting classes. I am not convinced that Oregon wants to participate in the market right now in any sport. And I agree with your point. There is an article a while back that I linked here that indicated that Oregon’s basketball NIL budget was in the neighborhood of $2M. Michigan, Maryland and other top teams in the BIG are spending $8-$10M on their roster. Sure sounds like a fast way to the bottom. The worst part, is that Altman will probably take the blame if this team misses the tourney this year. It doesn’t seem fair to give a guy a Yugo, then expect him to win the Indy 500.

Better for OBD - No. 1 Recruit or Three Experienced Players?

This. It’s almost better at QB and OL to pick up proven talent in the portal. Let someone else pay them $2M to get them trained up the first and maybe second year. -
Finally someone who averages over 4PPG! Seriously though, this seems like a decent pick up. He rebounds well and can block some shots. He can also score a little bit and supplement Evans, Bittle, and Shelstad. There are a lot of forwards on this roster - Pryor, Evans, Stewart, Lindsay, Kobzystyi. Oregon still needs a couple of guards that can shoot it from deep very badly. Sarr is still a must have.

5-Star QB Jared Curtis Picks Georgia over Oregon

Oregon recruiting, in both football and men's basketball, is in a serious downward spiral over the past few months. Hopefully, they can reverse course here very soon. -
