The talent level in Eugene continues to bring in top talent, but there not Nationally, but Internationally.

It has been a process for Graves and his coaching staff, but something that began three seasons ago is starting to bear fruit. Australian Guard Anneli Maley joined the Oregon Ducks. With the departing talent along with one of the top International Recruits, the goal for Oregon Women’s Basketball may be even higher next season.
