OUCH, Tracey Enters Portal

Recommended Posts

Not so troublesome - he never seemed to be a serious competitor. Wishing him the best with his interest in photography, though.

I mean, nothing against the kid, but a senior that averaged 6.9 points and 2.8 rebounds off the bench hitting the portal isn’t exactly a red alert or this teams biggest issue imo. We need a serious infusion of offensive firepower.

Not ideal.  He was a good role player and knew the program.  You need those kind of guys on your roster.  
 

Not sure what is happening, but this is getting scary.  Shelstad hasn’t said anything other than he is registered for spring classes.  There has been nothing from Evans. Bittle is maybe 50/50.  
 

Oregon has 1 HS commitment from Frakes and 1 portal commitment from Pryor.
 

Pryor has upside, but it’s not like his stats jump off the screen.  He averaged 3.2 points last year and shot 18% from three.  

 

Frakes looks like an athletic freak, but how well can he shoot the ball?  Is he more like Rigsby and can shoot it or is he more like the freshman version of CJ Walker?

Fascinating. I saw Jabba's post and thought, "yeah, I agree with this", then I read, Geotech's, and it made a lot of sense. As transfer portal enthusiast, Issac Newton said, "For every transfer portal out, there's an equal transfer portal in". Issac's team, the Neutrons, never made the tourney.

 

I don't think Tracey is a huge loss by himself, but I don't know if Pryor will equal his production, and if OBD have to give Bittle a lot of NIL to stay, and Shelstad & Evans, that cuts into the amount left to entice new players. I hope we haven't heard anything from Shelstad because it goes without saying that he's staying.

I’d really guess in this case the kid was a senior with one more year of eligibility left who wants more playing time. His production actually declined from his junior year which isn’t a good trend if you want to go out with a bang. A guard shooting under 70% from the free throw line his senior year is not a great lagging indicator imo.

 

Bittle did exactly what he should do, but in the universe where we have NIL I’ll be very surprised if he’s not back.

A few weeks ago, Tracey said he was coming back.  I wonder what happened for him to change his mind.  

 

With the NIL, its becoming more difficult for coaches to keep players in the program.  If Bittle, Evans and Shelstad stay, Coach Altman will be able to build around his core group of players.
