Sabrina Ionescu picks Oregon. Graves has a of exceedingly large proportions class (7 players) coming in. Not sure if he can get them all to coalesce this upcoming year, but they will be a threat going forward.

As Graves has settled in, this entering recruiting class is a very big threat indeed.  Oregon is clearly shaping up to be our biggest competition 2+ years out--probably replacing Oregon State and Arizona State.  I agree that this year may be rocky with the loss of Alleyne and half his team being freshmen.  I believe that several of their recruits were obvious Stanford targets until their grades did not come through.  I have the highest respect (as does Tara) for Graves--Gonzaga gave us fits in the past--and now we have as Pac 12 competition an ethical, effective coach who seems to be able to vacuum up a lot of excellent basketball players with B+/A- GPAs.
