So Jamil Wilson's A Duck

Jamil Wilson's a Duck. I'll project right now that Oregon would've won 5 more games next year just because of the maturation of the freshmen and sophomore players. Wilson's addition could mean another 3-4 wins, that's a team on the cusp of the tourney.

Wilson's game brings instant offense from all over the court. He can finish on the break. He's a tenacious rebounder and defender. He has length and can shoot it from outside or post his guy up. He's also another high character guy.

I think Oregon starts Porter, Longmire, Wilson, for sure next year and the big battles are for the other two spots. Do they start Crittle or Dunigan? Do they start Humprhey and force TP to handle the ball more (something he's done well of late). Or do they start Brown or Sim?

It also means they could conceivably redshirt someone who played as a freshman. Teondre Williams comes to mind. As does Sim or even Kamyron Brown. It means they can develop another player at the pace he should develop at and not have to put him out on the court and burn another year of eligility. It means they can use a redshirt year to spread out some of the classes. (By redshirting Sim or Williams and E.J. Singler for example.

I don't know that they will. But they've got a lot of options going forward now, and a terrific young player on the way in.
