wbosh15 - the first three things that occurred to me when I read this article: (1) she is a remarkable physical athlete they believe in, and they want to cultivate; (2) she might serve as a good practice player for the other posts on the roster; (3) with 2 to play 2 - what the hell are you doing Graves? GO BEAVS!! My thought/question was: Who is she related to? |

Obviously a very raw recruit whose production at the juco level has been minimal. However, Oregon has the scholarship and decided to use it as insurance in case Prince and Sabally aren't fully recovered or have setbacks with their recoveries. The Beavs could have used another 4 with length last season after Corosdale and Brown were lost to season-ending injuries. The Ducks bring another player with length into their mix who won't expect big minutes but may fulfill a limited role. |

From Wilson's point of view: She may view Oregon as a place where she can practice each day against premiere athletes, receive good coaching, and even if she does not get much floor time, her game will improve far more than it would at a lesser program where she would get more floor time....
She may believe that she has the athleticism to develop into a European pro if she receives good coaching, and a training table.
So, from her point of view, signing on at Oregon is a win-win even if she rarely sees the floor....
GO BEAVS!!

Why would she want to go to Oregon to be developed? Someone on this board (can't remember who) last year made an elaborate argument that Rueck is a better developer of players than Graves - wonder if with another year of data that still holds ture? I have also read on this board from some that Graves just rolls the ball out and is not that good at teaching fundamentals and Xs and Os.

I have also read on this board from some that Graves just rolls the ball out and is not that good at teaching fundamentals and Xs and Os. Graves is a far better strategist and talent developer than some on this Board suggest. Graves has mastered the art of coaching with respect to allowing his talent the flexibility to play to their strengths. Some coaches never get to that point. |

Also note: Rueck has mastered the art of molding talent to fit into his system.
Some coaches never get to that point!
And, in a nutshell, this highlights the differences between Rueck's and Grave's approach to coaching.
Both approaches work, and they work best when the coach has great talent to work with.
GO BEAVS!!

I believe that among the last eight Civil War battles, Oregon was the higher ranked team in 6/8, and the teams ultimately split 4/4. OSU was the far superior team talent-wise in their first year, but UO had the upper hand in all of the remaining years due to the Sabally, Hebard, and Ionescu trio.
Oregon will be much more talented next year compared to the Beavs, but they will also have a lot of youth. Duck fans say Nyara is better than Satou, and Prince has a higher ceiling than Hebard, so they will certainly have a daunting front court, but neither has played a game yet.
I think the Civil War is a game where Mack can play a lot of three, because she is in ways similar to Boley. Not sure who exactly will play PG for them this year, but I don’t believe they have a Minyon Moore type player who drove Goodman insane last year.
I’ve heard it will be interesting to see how Parrish fits in. She is a terrific scorer.

I’ve heard it will be interesting to see how Parrish fits in. She is a terrific scorer. Although I have not seen Nyara play live, I think it is safe to say that Satou is and will be the better player. Nyara's two ACL injuries will likely have robbed her of some of the athleticism that gave some observers hope that she may be a more effective player than her older sister. Mack is more athletic than Boley, so I do hope to see that matchup at the 3 next season in the Civil War. I saw Prince play in 2015 at an AAU event and was very impressed with her skill set for a 6'7" female high school athlete. If healthy, Prince will be a challenging matchup for Taylor Jones at the 5. |

If Taylor locks in on the pull up face-the-basket 15 footer, then Taylor Jones will also be a tough match up for Prince. Cannot wait to see Taylor's face-up game this year.

Taylor is a tough match up for anyone. She was strong as a freshman, give her another year of development and she should be a dominant force in the key.
She is mentally tougher than most. As a new freshman she was not intimidated in the least by team USA.

The starting guards will likely be Taylor Chavez and Jaz Shelley. Chavez was the conference Sixth Player of the Year and Jaz Shelley was really good as a true freshman, in a limited role. It will be interesting to see how those two handle being key cogs in the machine, rather than complimentary parts.

With Scherr, Paopao, and Parrish coming in as guards this year, I think it will be pretty tough for Chavez and Shelley to both remain as starters. I could see Scherr being the odd woman out, although she is the one I would of most liked to see in a Beaver uniform.
I'm not sure how you can keep PaoPao off the floor, and the same can probably be said for Parrish. Chavez and Shelley better be on top of their game.

Saw this on Twitter from www.hoopdreamathletics.com : Asia Todd 5'10" SG - is now in the Tranfer Portal. This kid school over 2300pts in High School. Scored 102pts in 2 days for what it's worth |

Saw this on Twitter from www.hoopdreamathletics.com : Asia Todd 5'10" SG - is now in the Tranfer Portal. This kid school over 2300pts in High School. Scored 102pts in 2 days for what it's worth Todd played against the Beavs last season and struggled, scoring 2 points in 24 minutes played in a loss to the Beavs in Miami. She averaged 8.6 points per game, but her shooting percentage (41.6%) and assists (1.3) per game aren't appealing. Her assist-to-turnover ratio was 0.7. Plus, she would have to sit out next season in all likelihood. A hard pass on her by OSU. The program needs another point guard that can play in '20-'21 to take some pressure off from Goodman and ideally allow her to spot up for threes as a two guard on occasion. |
