If he does leave the Oregon Ducks, it would make seven players in total who have departed since the Final Four run last month.

Of course, Michael Cage and Paul White are waiting in the wings as well as 5-Star Troy Brown who will join the team in the Fall.
Altman has time with the transfer window open to bring in a Junior College Transfer, which could bolster some of what Oregon has lost to the NBA Draft, as well as transfers.
