The Oregon Ducks' offseason has been defined by departures, with seven players entering the transfer portal and leaving the roster in a state of flux. As head coach Dana Altman looks to rebuild, a potential first key addition is on the horizon.
Boise State transfer Andrew Meadow, a 6-foot-7 forward, has scheduled a visit to Eugene for April 14th. This move comes at a critical time for Oregon, which is urgently seeking to fill the void left by key exits like Jackson Shelstad and Kwame Evans Jr. The Ducks need both perimeter shooting and size—and Meadow intriguingly offers both.
Last season with the Broncos, Meadow was a model of consistency, starting all 32 games and averaging 12.1 points and 3.6 rebounds. More importantly for Oregon's spacing needs, he shot an impressive 38.6% from beyond the arc. At 218 pounds, he brings a physical frame that allows him to defend multiple positions and finish through contact at the rim.
While the Ducks will welcome a promising freshman class, adding an experienced, versatile player like Meadow could accelerate the team's retooling. He represents a potential two-way cornerstone for a program looking to stabilize its roster and compete in a tough conference. For fans eager to see the Ducks bounce back, this visit marks a significant first step in a crucial rebuilding phase.
