Oregon hopes to land the top overall prospect in basketball.

Dana Altman and the Oregon Duck men's basketball team are making their big push for the nation's number one overall prospect in the class of 2018.

Altman and members of his staff were in Florida Wednesday to make a visit to see five-star and number one overall prospect R. J. Barrett at his prep school.

Barrett made an official visit to Oregon last week, and then shortly after the visit he announced he was eliminating Arizona and Michigan and was down to just Oregon Kentucky, and Duke.

Oregon coaches have been recruiting Barrett for two yearsas one of their top prospects, and the Ducks are considered to be in a tight battle with Duke for a commitment.

Barrett plans to sign with a school in November. The early signing period runs from Nov. 8 - Nov. 15.
