As it stands, seven players are leaving Oregon. While youth helped lead the way to the NCAA Tournament last year, the same will be said about the upcoming season. Payton Pritchard is likely the lone returning regular starter with postseason experience.
While Head Coach Dana Altman has some big-time recruits coming in to help, having Wooten for a third season would have certainly helped the learning curve. Last season was rough with a high ceiling for Bol Bol, who played in just nine games for Oregon. He did average a double-double in each and will likely be a high NBA Draft pick.
