Highly touted center Nathan Bittle committed to Oregon on Tuesday, he announced on his Instagram.
The Prolific Prep product had long been thought as a borderline lock to Oregon. 247Sports gave him a 100 percent chance of selecting Dana Altman's program. The recruiting service ranks Bittle as the No. 17 overall prospect in the class of 2021.
In his sophomore year at Crater High, the 6'10" big man averaged 21.3 points, 8.5 rebounds and 4.5 blocks.
Bittle can be an imposing figure around the basket. In the consolation semifinals of the 2019 state tournament, he blocked a record 10 shots.
