Will Richardson thankful for a second chance at his senior season as he embraces a bigger leadership role

 

"To be honest, if I were selfish, it would have been easy. I wanted to be here," Richardson said of his decision

to return to Oregon for the fifth season or declare for the pros.

 

"But for my family they want to see me go pro one day; it was a little harder making a decision for everybody.

Coming back to Oregon, I love it here, I haven't had any problems since I've been here."

Dana Altman sees strength in the Pac-12 despite UCLA and USC's expected departures

 

"There's no way to sugarcoat it. It's not good for our league," said Altman. "But we'll survive. We've got ten good teams, and it's our challenge to improve,

you know, to get better." As for the league's future and how it'll be able to compete at a high level on a national level, Altman isn't too worried.

 

"But as far as a basketball conference is concerned, since I've been in the league, USC hasn't won the conference title or the tournament.

UCLA maybe won one tournament or one league title. Arizona's been up there. We've won four conference titles."

Oregon freshman C Kel'el Ware gets first round grade in latest 2023 NBA mock draft

 

The 2023 Draft class is one of the best in recent memories, with potential all-time level players at the top.

 

Kel'el is a talented freshman that has tremendous upside, but we need to move him along a little quicker," said head coach Dana Altman.

"He's not showing us everything he can do. He's got to turn it up a notch or two. But there's no doubt the talent's there. He's 7-feet, long,

and when he decides to really kick it in, he's going to be a problem for a lot of people. I just hope it happens this year."
