Three Reasons to be Excited for Oregon Ducks Basketball Next Season
The Oregon Ducks suffered through their worst season yet under coach Dana Altman. With a 12-20 record, the Ducks were under .500 for the first time in Altman’s tenure. Oregon was plagued by injuries and inconsistent play, but the program will need to quickly forget and move on in order to compete in the Big Ten next season.
Here are three reasons why Ducks’ fans should be excited for the 2026-27 season.
Freshman Reinforcements on the Way

Despite not having much on-the-court success this year, Altman and the Ducks were able to get it done on the recruiting trail. Sitting with the No. 27 class in the 2026 recruiting cycle according to 247Sports’ rankings, Oregon is listed ahead of UConn, Arizona, and Houston.
Leading the way for Oregon is four-star forward Tajh Ariza. He is ranked the No. 13 small forward and No. 32 player in the country. Ariza should be counted on in a big way during his freshman season, especially with the rash of key departures the Ducks have sustained. Altman has shown that he isn’t afraid of playing freshmen. If Ariza can prove he belongs on the court, he will play significant minutes.
Joining the four-star signee are four-star center Kendre Harrison and three-star forward Seven Spurlock.
Harrison is a dual-sport athlete at Oregon and is on campus already with the football team. As a basketball recruit, Harrison is ranked as the No. 22 center and No. 7 player in the country. It will be interesting to see how the timing will work with the Ducks’ football season going into January, the past two years. Any contributions they can get out of Harrison are a plus.
Spurlock is the most recent addition to their 2026 recruiting class. He committed on March 29, choosing Oregon over Auburn, Houston, and Missouri.
The Potential for a Big Transfer Portal Class
Since the end of the season for the Ducks, they have seen four players enter the transfer portal in Kwame Evans Jr., Dezdrick Lindsay, Devon Pryor and Jackson Shelstad.
That’s three scholarships plus NIL money that opened up for Oregon to use for some potential incoming transfers. The transfer portal doesn’t officially open up until April 7, but the Ducks’ coaching staff should have an idea of what type of players they need to bring in.
With Shelstad leaving, plus center Nate Bittle running out of eligibility, Oregon will be in the market for a starting point guard as well as a quality big man to help replace the outgoing talent.
The Development of Key Returnees
Despite losing key players like Shelstad and Evans to the portal, the Ducks have been able to retain some key players so far. A pair of guards in Wei Lin and Jamari Phillips, as well as forward Sean Stewart, have yet to announce their intentions, but all three pieces could have bigger roles with the program next season.
Stewart, Lin and Phillips played in at least 26 games or more. The experience is there. It’s just about building chemistry with the right five pieces. Add in an offseason of development for the quartet, and the Ducks could avoid another disastrous year on the hardwood.

Young Oregon Ducks running backs Davison, Hill ready to lead in 2026
Watch Oregon center Iapani Laloulu talk about his love for Eugene
Oregon center Iapani Laloulu says ‘I’m from Eugene’ when talking about his love for the Ducks program, Eugene and Oregon.
Jordon Davison and Dierre Hill Jr. burst onto the scene last fall when the then-freshmen running back duo injected a thrilling, big-play, nose-for-the-end zone element to an already-potent Oregon offense.
They combined to rush for 1,323 yards – split almost evenly – and 20 rushing touchdowns, with Davison accounting for a team-leading 15 of those scores.
So, it was revealing to hear running backs coach Ra’Shaad Samples claim all that production came from a pair of players who “really didn’t know what they were doing” as they navigated their first season on a College Football Playoff championship contender.
That won’t be the case this coming season when Davison and Hill are expected to be the two main components of the Ducks’ rushing attack.
“They’re going through the maturation process. They’re growing,” Samples said April 2 after Oregon’s fourth practice of the spring. “They have to understand who they are as players, understand their strengths and weaknesses.
“They were operating off pure talent last year. They’ve gotten in the film room more, they understand the game conceptually, what we’re trying to accomplish. … They should be key parts of not just the backfield, but the offense.”
Davison’s role as a freshman evolved from being a short-yardage, goal-line bulldozer in the first half of the season when the 6-foot, 236-pounder started exhibiting an ability to break off long runs. He finished with 667 yards on 113 carries in 14 games. He missed the CFP semifinal Peach Bowl loss to Indiana with a broken clavicle.
“The ceiling is really high,” Samples said. “Obviously he’s a big guy by nature. He carries weight so easily, he’s so physical.”
Hill (5-11, 205) showed electric play-making ability throughout the season. He finished with 656 yards rushing on 75 carries and also caught 16 passes for 137 yards and a score. He led the Big Ten Conference and ranked second nationally with an average of 8.75 yards per carry, was tied for sixth in the Big Ten with eight rushes of 20-plus yards, tied for fourth in the Big Ten with three rushes of 50-plus yards and tied for the conference lead with two runs of 60-plus yards.
“He’s made an outstanding jump in pass (protection), understanding defense,” Samples said. “I mean, he’s even surprised me. … He’s taken a huge leap.”
Samples said one of the goals for Davison this offseason is improving his ability to elude tacklers once he breaks through the line of scrimmage.
“He’s already physically imposing so you don’t want to tackle that guy,” Samples said. “But if he can make guys miss at the second level, if he can make guys miss on the perimeter, it’s gonna be scary.”
It’s the opposite offseason approach for Hill.
“Dierre can do some things on the perimeter like nobody can,” Samples said. “In between the tackles, if he can continue to take his play to the next level, those guys have a chance to be like some of the best backs in the country.”
Oregon’s running back room had significant turnover after the Ducks ended the 2025 regular season.
Starter Noah Whittington graduated, and Jay Harris (Kansas State), Jayden Limar (Washington) and Makhi Hughes (Houston) transferred.
Besides sophomores Davison and Hill, the Ducks roster includes third-year back Da’Jaun Riggs, who played in five games last fall before an undisclosed injury ended his season; a pair of four-star freshmen in Tradarian Ball and Brandon Smith; and Colorado transfer Simeon Price, a six-year veteran who has played in 38 career games – two more then the rest of the group combined.
“He’s a seasoned vet,” Samples said of Price. “He’s a grown man. He goes about his business; he plays the game hard. He’s in the film room every single day. He’s probably up there already watching practice. He’s stretching, he’s encouraging guys to do yoga and drink beet juice. He brings some consistency to the room and he has some ability also.”
Off the field, Whittington was the undisputed leader of the group last season, and his departure leaves a void Sample said will most likely be filled by the group, not any one individual.
“The honest truth is, whenever you lose a guy like Noah Whittington, you can’t replace that, right?” Samples said. “So, first is being honest about that. … but the young guys have grown up. I mean, Dierre has grown up. He speaks more. Jordon has grown up. Those guys didn’t say a word last year. They were just happy to play football.”
More is anticipated from both this season, if not expected. Samples said both are putting in the effort to make those expectations a reality.
“Those guys haven’t arrived yet, but they’re working towards it,” the coach said. “They understand that. And you know, they take that challenge every single day. They don’t act like guys that think they’ve arrived. They’re working every single day.”
