Oregon women's basketball will experience a sea of change this offseason, as guard Maddie Scherr, guard Sydney Parrish and forward Kylee Watson -- all sophomores -- have entered the transfer portal.
Paired with the departure of redshirt junior Nyara Sabally for the WNBA draft, the Ducks will lose three starters and 40% of their scoring entering the 2022-23 season.
Parrish (No. 8), Watson (No. 17) and Scherr (No. 19) were all top-20 recruits in ESPN's 2020 class rankings.
The Ducks (20-12) secured a 5-seed in the NCAA tournament before being upset by Belmont in double overtime in the first round. After the game, Oregon coach Kelly Graves took responsibility for the team failing to put everything together over the course of the season, but said he thought "at times our players have acted and performed entitled."
"This group hasn't won anything," Graves said. "We haven't won a Pac-12 championship. We haven't won in the NCAA tournament, with great depth."
Oregon had advanced to the Sweet 16 last year in its first season without program hallmarks Sabrina Ionescu, Satou Sabally and Ruthy Hebard.
Forward Sedona Prince has already announced she'll return to Eugene, while starters Endyia Rogers and Te-Hina Paopao, both guards, will be a rising senior and junior, respectively.
The Ducks will also welcome ESPN's second-ranked recruiting class this summer, led by point guard Chance Gray (No. 7 ranking), forward Grace VanSlooten (No. 13), wing Jennah Isai (No. 36) and Kennedy Basham (No. 59).
