Asked directly if he’d come back for a fifth year if given the opportunity to do so, the Pac-12 player of the year said it’s his time to go.

“As much as I love Coach and being an Oregon Duck,” Pritchard said.

“It’s time to go,” coach Dana Altman said.

In a letter to member schools Friday, the NCAA Division I Council Coordination Committee announced it planned to “discuss issues related to seasons of competition” for athletes who were not able to play in conference and NCAA championships.

Even if that means additional eligibility, it’s more than understandable for Pritchard to move on to the NBA.

Oregon’s other two seniors, Anthony Mathis and Shakur Juiston, are not projected to be drafted in the NBA but could still begin pro careers overseas.

Altman said they’d all be welcome back, but acknowledged the reality.

As far as Payton goes, he’s ready. He could’ve went last year. He turned down a very a good financial offer a year ago. The NBA money is different and if that window is open, I’d advise him to go.


I doubt PP if this is who you think

I'm hoping it is just a short drive north.

This should be Gibson, who is a solid pickup, but won't be eligible next year, which IMO is a problem. Probably means we're going after at least another transfer guard, but that player will likely be less impactful than Gibson.

Guys that should be playing the 1/2 spots next year:
Harmon, Williams, Phipps, and Reaves

That is pretty thin. Especially considering that Phipps probably won't be ready for significant minutes next year (my opinion), and Reaves is better suited as a 3 (again, my opinion). Gotta have another body, I'd think. Unless I'm wrong on Gibson's eligibility.

The NCAA is meeting tomorrow to allow free transfers for everyone next year. Basically allowing everybody to be eligible immediately.

Interesting. Not sure what the rationale for that would be but not much surprises me when it comes to the NCAA and transfers.
