Another Duck in portal; Lucy Cochrane sophomore 6'5 center from Australia

Oregon has seen a LOT of transfer outs over the last few years.  It makes me wonder if they were pushed so Graves could free slots.  If this is what college sports are coming to--with elite coaches using "free agency" to staff their teams (Erin Boley, Minyon Moore, and now perhaps Dijonai Carrington) then the game loses its lustre for me.  I don't want college sports to be like pro sports, and it seems it is on that path.

Cochrane is probably not a Pac-12 level player. Her game is like better suited at somewhere like Portland (they have tons of Aussies) or Saint Mary’s. She has potential, but was never going to get the enough time on the court to improve.

agree about Cochrane. She saw the writing on the wall. I've heard the younger Sabally is more of a 4/5 than a wing. And they expect big things from Prince as well. Also 2 of their 5 top 25 recruits this year are bigs. Not surprised Cochrane is looking to go elsewhere. In that vein, I'm surprised that more of Geno's bench players don't escape. He doesn't play his bench even when they're 40 points ahead...so unless you're a top five recruit, why go there?
