Big things are brewing in Eugene. Oregon women's basketball head coach Kelly Graves has confirmed that his 2026-27 roster is essentially locked in, and the Ducks are entering summer workouts with the kind of buzz that has been missing from the program in recent seasons.

Leading the charge are returning stars Katie Fiso and Ehis Etute, a dynamic duo that gives Oregon a formidable 1-2 punch. But they're far from alone. Graves has assembled a deep core of returners, supplemented by a nationally ranked freshman class and a savvy transfer portal haul that has fans dreaming of a deep March run.

Though game day is still months away, the offseason grind is already in full swing. Graves is cautiously optimistic about his squad's potential, emphasizing that the goal is clear: earn a coveted top-16 seed in the NCAA Tournament and make some noise when it matters most.

So, who are the players that will carry the torch for the Ducks? The Register-Guard sat down with Graves to get his thoughts on each of the 12 players currently on the roster. Here's what the longtime Oregon coach had to say about his team as they prepare for a pivotal summer.
