— Oregon men’s basketball landed its first spring commitment on Monday. Kenny Wooten Jr., a 6-foot-8 power forward, shared on social media that he’s committed to the Ducks. He is expected to sign with Oregon sometime before May 17, when the regular signing period for basketball ends.
— Dana Altman and the Ducks are looking to reload after losing Tyler Dorsey, Casey Benson, Dillion Brooks and Jordan Bell this offseason.
