It's been a short offseason for Oregon Ducks men's basketball coach Dana Altman, but an active one, as he works to add four-to-five more scholarship players to the roster.

Altman and the Ducks took a big step forward in that effort Monday, landing 247Sports four-star power forward Kenny Wooten Jr., rated the nation's No. 89 prospect.

The 6-foot-8, 205-pound post, out of Trinity International Schools (Las Vegas, Nevada), had recently decommitted from Arizona State and added offers from Oregon, St. John's, UCLA and others.

Although his second recruitment was far from certain, Wooten admitted that the Ducks' available spots was a factor in his decision to walk away from the Sun Devils.

"It's a huge factor, honestly," he told The Oregonian/OregonLive earlier this month. "I remember Oregon was in my top five, and I would say my top two, because I really enjoyed the coaching staff. Coach Altman was already a really good head coach. He reached out whenever he could. With the three of them potentially leaving - I didn't think they'd be leaving, so I was trying to find a fit. But they played as good as they did and put themselves in a position to leave. To go to a place like Oregon, and fit in immediately, that plays a huge rule because of what Oregon made of themselves."

Shortly after that interview, Wooten took a visit to Eugene, where he had a chance to check out the program and facilities for himself.

With Wooten's commitment, Oregon has a class flirting with top-10 status, as he joins five-star point forward Troy Brown Jr. and four-star wings V.J. Bailey and Abu KIgab.

The Ducks still have three scholarships available and are targeting several big-time athletes, highlighted by five-star center Brandon McCoy and New Mexico graduate transfer Elijah Brown.

Altman and the Ducks aren't done yet, but Wooten is an impressive start for the post-Final Four recruiting effort.
