Wooten is a highly touted freshman from Newark, New Jersey. He was ranked as the No. 37 player in the country by ESPN and was a McDonald’s All-American nominee. Wooten is an excellent shot blocker and should make an immediate impact on the defensive end of the court for Oregon.

This year’s team will have five returners from last year’s squad, including leading scorer Payton Pritchard (12.9 points per game). Let’s take a look at what the returning players will bring to the table for this season.

Fellow junior Paul White is another player that will be relied upon to provide scoring and shooting. White is a 6’8″ forward that can stretch the floor with his shooting ability. He shot 42% from three-point range last season and will be looked to as a key piece in Oregon’s offense once again.

Senior center MiKyle McIntosh rounds out the group of returners that averaged double-figures in scoring last season. McIntosh is a 6’7″ big man that provides a physical presence in the post. He is also a very good rebounder, averaging 6.1 boards per contest last year. McIntosh will be counted on to anchor Oregon’s defense and provide some scoring down low.

Rounding out the returning players are juniors Ehab Amin and Keith Smith. Amin is a 6’4″ guard that provides good defense and energy off the bench. Smith is a 6’6″ forward that saw limited action last season but could see an increased role this year. These two players will provide valuable depth for Oregon and will be key pieces in their run towards another conference title and deep NCAA Tournament run.
