Big Ten Offseason Evaluation: Oregon Ducks
![Big Ten Offseason Evaluation: Oregon Ducks Big Ten Offseason Evaluation: Oregon Ducks](https://images2.minutemediacdn.com/image/upload/c_crop,w_4858,h_2732,x_0,y_0/c_fill,w_1440,ar_16:9,f_auto,q_auto,g_auto/images/ImagnImages/mmsport/hoosiers_now/01j3jhtt22akzwy2k7n9.jpg)
Oregon enters a new era after leaving the Pac-12 to join the Big Ten and losing its top two scorers, N’Faly Dante and Jermaine Couisnard.
A constant remains with coach Dana Altman, who has won four Pac-12 regular season titles, four Pac-12 tournament titles and been named Pac-12 coach of the year three times in his 14 seasons leading the Ducks.
Here’s a full breakdown of Oregon’s offseason roster changes, plus its outlook for the 2024-25 season.

Reasons for optimism
Altman retained several players who should be in line for starting roles and have potential for breakout seasons. Start with point guard Jackson Shelstad, who had 13 games with 15-plus points and earned spots on the Pac-12 All-Tournament team and Pac-12 All-Freshman team last season. He’s an electric scorer capable of taking a big step and contending for All-Big Ten status with Jermaine Couisnard graduating.
Forward Kwame Evans Jr. is another player primed to make a sophomore jump. The former five-star recruit out of Montverde Academy did a bit of everything as a freshman, averaging 7.3 points, 4.9 rebounds, 1.2 steals, 1.1 assists and 1.0 blocks per game. At 6-foot-9 with NBA potential, he’s capable of handling the ball and knocking down outside shots, though he’ll have to improve on his 26.7% 3-point shooting from last season.
The Ducks will also hope to get full seasons from 7-foot senior center Nate Bittle, a former five-star recruit, and sophomore wing Mookie Cook, a top-30 recruit in the class of 2023. Both were limited to just five games last season due to injury but could really help Oregon this year.
In the transfer portal, Altman landed three players who were double-digit scorers at the high-major level: 6-foot-5 guard TJ Bamba from Villanova, 6-foot-8 wing Brandon Angel from Stanford and 6-foot-9 forward Supreme Cook from Georgetown. Cook forms a talented frontcourt trio with Evans and Bittle, while Bamba (36.9%) and Angel (44.7%) will help the Ducks’ 3-point shooting and slashing ability on the wings.
Biggest concerns
Jermaine Couisnard and N’Faly Dante carried Oregon on their backs during two NCAA Tournament games, accounting for 123 of the Ducks’ 160 total points. Oregon hoped Dante would get an extra year of eligibility, but his appeal was denied by the NCAA. As a result, Oregon will have to move forward without the dynamic duo of Dante, who would have been one of the top centers in college basketball, and Couisnard, a veteran, high-scoring guard.
While Oregon has several young players who are poised to have big years, it’s always difficult for a team to move forward after losing its two leading scorers. It may take the Ducks some time early in the season to learn their roles and build team chemistry, but Altman has the pieces to build a balanced and talented starting five. The other big question with Oregon is its depth, as Altman will rely on a few freshmen and mid-major transfers in backup roles.
The bottom line
Despite losing two program pillars in Couisnard and Dante, I’m going to trust Altman’s track record of consistency and success. Across 14 seasons at Oregon, he has made the NCAA Tournament eight times, including a Final Four run, two trips to the Elite Eight and five Sweet 16 appearances. He could easily have made another deep run in 2019-20 with a team that peaked at No. 4 in the AP top-25 poll, but the tournament was canceled due to COVID-19.
Led by budding stars Shelstad and Evans, plus a group of proven transfers, Oregon should safely finish in the top half of the Big Ten. Their ceiling may be limited to a No. 4 or No. 5 seed in the NCAA Tournament, but Altman has put together another solid team.

Oregon Football Tight End Terrance Ferguson Proposes to High School Sweetheart

Over the weekend, love flourished amongst the mountains of Telluride, Colorado. Between blades of tall grass and wildflowers, Oregon Ducks Football tight end Terrance Ferguson proposed to his now fiancée, Sophia Meyer.
The two have been dating since high school, with Ferguson attending Heritage High School in Littleton, Colorado. Meyer attended a different school in a nearby town and played basketball for her respective alma mater.
“Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres,” Ferguson said in his Instagram post about the proposal, quoting 1 Corinthians 13:4-7 from the Bible.
Meyer has the same biblical quote cited in her Instagram bio. That proposal post is the first pinned post on Ferguson’s Instagram account.
Ferguson and Meyer’s two labradoodles, Obi and Oso, were included in the proposal, taking part in a picturesque meadow surrounded by Colorado mountains.
The ring Ferguson used to propose to Meyer is from Happy Jewelers, an Orange County based jeweler known for icing out several athletes and celebrities.
Ferguson is expected to be a serious asset on the field during the Oregon Ducks’ first season in the Big Ten. Last year, Ferguson shined with six touchdowns, and 414 yards for 42 receptions. He forewent the 2024 NFL Draft for his senior season.
Ferguson is currently at Big Ten Media Days in Indianapolis with coach Dan Lanning, quarterback Dillon Gabriel and linebacker Jeffrey Bassa. The Ducks stepped into their new conference in a BIG way, with a massive inflatable Duck in the Indianapolis River.
