Oregon guard Jackson Shelstad plans to enter transfer portal

Oregon guard Jackson Shelstad plans to enter the transfer portal, a source told On3.

Altman's turn...

Does make one wonder if he's already conveyed something to players? Doubt it though. Too much risk for a leak.

Yep, if I'm Dana, I'm leaving the hardwood for the fairway, metal woods, and the 19th hole. 😎

No.

Next man up! Let the fallout begin.

No.

Oregon had to keep two guys on the roster going into next season - Evans and Shelstad - And they lost both.

Is Dana going to be able to find 5 legit starters in the portal?

Fire sale. Can't really blame Shelstad and KJ.

DA gets to try and rebuild from the ground up, so I imagine 2026-27 will be a repeat of this season and that won't turn out well.

Heard that this is essentially an NIL issue and donors are not enthusiastic about the current regime.

I'd way rather Dana gracefully retire rather than eventually be forced out. The end of the Kent era was ugly. I loved Ernie but when it was time, it was time. I think a young eager Lanniningesque coach is what's needed to return to competitive basketball. I absolutely love hoops but I've never been so indifferent to the team than the last couple years. Something needs to happen and I hope it does in the right way.

No.

I appreciate what Dana has done for the program but geez, I gotta think the players get tired of his negativity.

Reporter: Wow coach you won by 30...it's gotta feel really good

Altman: Yeah but our defensive intensity wasn't there, we could've rebounded better, and we missed some easy shots. We need to get better!

Maybe behind the scenes he's different but if I continued to hear how bad I was, I'd start believing it. I'm certainly not a Calipari fan but he gets 5 stars and they're gone after a year. Dana gets them and they don't even improve in years 2, 3, 4 and even 5 in Bittle's and KJ's case for the most part.

No.

At some level there is a logic here. Evans and Shelstad were going to require NIL increases, and yet were not enough to get to the Tourney next year. Plus, we wouldn't have had any NIL budget to speak of after paying those two with raises. And, let's be honest, neither of them are NBA draft locks at this point.

Now, go all in with the full NIL budget on a handful of smart veterans who are coachable and will play with some passion and team buy-in. They probably won't make the tourney either but at least they will be more fun to root for than this year's team.

No.

I have a feeling that this is going to get a lot worse before it gets better. There were rumors flying around just over a year ago that Oregon’s NIL budget for men’s hoops was around $3M. I hope that is not true, but if it is, Oregon is no where near being market competitive.

More NIL needed is the reality from here on out for whomever captains the ship.

Women's basketball.....

Guard Elisa Mevius entered the transfer portal, per Talia Goodman of On3. The news comes after her season was cut short following an ACL injury two games into the 2025-26 season. The Ducks lose a key two-way player and a former starter in Mevius.

Mevius entered the season as Oregon’s only returning starter from the 2024-25 season. The guard transferred from Siena to Oregon ahead of her junior year. She started in 19 of her 28 appearances for the Ducks as a junior, but missed the program’s 2025 NCAA Tournament run due to a broken hand. Mevius led the team in steals during her first season in Eugene and shot over 30 percent from beyond the arc.

Mevius was averaging 12.5 points per game, 3.0 assists, 1.5 rebounds and 2.5 steals before going down with injury in the late stages of Oregon’s game against Montana on Nov. 8, 2025. The Ducks lose a 3x3 Olympic gold medalist in Mevius and one of their best defenders.

No.

I really don’t understand what we’re doing.

We could field a competitive team for the cost of 3-4 starters on the football team. Seems pretty clear (despite having his son’s name on the arena) PK and his network are not with the program, imo. They really should look into fixing whatever is the root of that problem.
