He wasn’t a one-and-done, but he was close.
Former Oregon basketball center Kel’el Ware, who transferred to Indiana after one season in Eugene, has declared for the NBA draft in June.
Ware, a 7-footer from North Little Rock, Ark. played 30 games as a Hoosier this past season after playing 35 games as a Duck in his freshman season. He was hampered with an ankle injury towards the end of this year in Bloomington.
But before the injury, Ware was productive as he averaged 15.9 points a game and 9.9 rebounds for the Hoosiers. Those numbers were significantly better than his only season under Dana A ..read more

It was just how Mark Wasikowski and the Ducks drew it up.
That plan, obviously, was to wait out a 70-minute weather delay, give up three runs in the top of the 10th, and then use two infield hits, a deflection into center field, two hit batsmen, and a single from Drew Smith to score two more and stun Seattle University 5-4.
All right, this scenario wouldn’t be No. 1 on the list in ways to win a game, but that’s exactly how Oregon captured the opening contest of a four-game non-conference series with the Redhawks.
It was 1-1 after nine innings that was a rare midweek pitching duel. But that end ..read more

The NFL draft is less than a month away and we can then see how accurate, or inaccurate, all of the mock drafts are.
To be fair, most are fairly accurate and in the latest mock draft from ESPN, more than a half-dozen Oregon Ducks are expected to be selected.
Writer Matt Miller has turned in his best guess of how the NFL selection process will go and the first Duck to be picked will be quarterback Bo Nix to the Las Vegas Raiders, with the No. 13 overall pick in the first round.
Miller says Nix would “give the Raiders’ offense the dual-threat aspect it needs for new coordinator Luke Getsy. The R ..read more

Dana Altman has continually reminded anyone who will listen that the world of college basketball is evolving before our very eyes and those who adjust the quickest will be successful and not have to play catch up.
One of those huge changes is the transfer portal with more and more players entering it year after year. To Altman and Oregon’s credit, they’re one of the programs that has adjusted nicely. The Ducks are successful more times than not when it comes to the portal.
Every season. the Oregon roster consists of several players that come through that portal and one player with ties to the ..read more

The 2024 NFL Draft is less than a month away now, and with the combine and Oregon’s Pro Day behind us, it’s been relatively slow on the news front for former Oregon Ducks. However, mock drafts are still continuing to pour out, with draft analysts projecting where the top players in the nation will likely end up in the first few rounds come late April.
For the Ducks, there are a handful of players who will likely hear their names called sometime during the first two day, including QB Bo Nix, WR Troy Franklin, C Jackson Powers-Johnson, and RB Bucky Irving.
So where do most draft experts expect ..read more
