Andrew doubling down on this information. If this is accurate, this is far from good.

This is a very sad story. I hope his condition continues to improve. That game against Wazzu was something else.

Ouch! Pretty brutal article about the state of the men’s basketball program. You can read for free by entering your email and selecting non-paying subscriber and confirming your email.

The SEC needs to update their slogan. “It just meant more”. Fixed.

IMO, if you go to 76, at a minimum, you need to give both the regular season conference winner and the conference tourney winner auto bids. That would add some more non-power teams to the field.

“This past season he shot 43.6 percent from the field, 23.5 percent on threes,” Oregon gambling on another Power 4 SG that struggles to shoot the ball? This has not worked very well for Oregon in the past. Let’s hope Easter can make a big jump in production and efficiency next season on offense.

I am starting to get a little worried. With Bowen committing, that is essentially 7 forwards on the roster. I know some of them are stretch players, but it might be time to look at a true guard or true center? PF- Stewart, Compton, Bowen, and Harrison. SF - Riley, Meadow, and Ariza

Fingers crossed, but I would be extremely shocked if Oregon came out on top for Stokes. How would they have NIL funds for this? Even if they did, they still need to spend on positions of need (center and PG). They already have two SFs on the roster, correct?

Nice.

43% from three? Yes please!🙏

I am okay sticking with Altman. He deserves another year IMO. My concern is that for every guy you get that makes the jump from G6 to Power 5 like Simpkins did, there is a whole list that do not. Recently for Oregon that list includes RaHeim Moss, Jesse Zarzuela, Amauri Hardy, Aaron Estrada, etc. There are some big time players in the portal, but Oregon is not in the discussion for them right now. I guess that is disappointing.

The G5 kids are rolling in. I guess that is the only play if you have very limited NiL money.

A couple of G5 guys right now that can score the ball. Good to see someone come in with a decent shooting percentage in college. It has been a while (other than Simpkins). Hopefully, these guys can make the jump like Simpkins did last season.

Nice. Another guy that can shoot. 50%+ from the floor and 38%+ from three

They should take a hard look at Aristode from Arizona. He was injured for part of the year, but he is a 6’8” wing that is long and athletic and shot 47% from three last year.

There we go! 6’6” double figure scorer that shoots almost 50% from the floor and 37% from three? That seems very, very solid start. Go get them Altman!!

Now they are losing coaches too?? Where is rock bottom? https://duckswire.usatoday.com/story/sports/college/ducks/mens-basketball/2026/04/10/oregon-mens-basketball-mike-mennenga-creighton/89558259007/#

I’m having a hard time getting over the 39% FG percentage. It seems like we always have plenty of shot takers and not enough shot makers.

Vatan is in the portal now, so down to one holdover. This is not ideal: "It wasn't unexpected," Altman said. "There were three guys we really wanted back — Sean and KJ and Jackson, three starters. We did not pull anybody scholarship. Everybody had their scholarship would have been renewed, but we are working with the budget, and some guys are going to lose their NIL. Most of them are taking a reduction, big reduction."

And there goes Phillips, as expected.

Is this is really one of Oregon’s targets to fill the PG position? 5’10” and shoots 39% from the floor and 31% from three? If that is true, then I have to continue to assume there is a major NIL issue with men’s hoops.

Demir just entered the portal. Down to Stewart, Vatan, and Phillips. I am shocked that Phillips has not entered yet.

Yes. Both are gone.

The hits keep coming. I suspect more will come tomorrow.

Duke got Adam Spanished.
