Dana Altman and the Oregon men's basketball program might have solved their front court questions for next season with a commitment from one of the best junior college players in the country.

Oregon has landed a verbal commitment from the NJCAA Division 1 Player of the Year Chris Boucher, Northwest head coach Brian Erickson confirmed to DuckTerritory.com.

Erickson encouraged Duck fans to watch Boucher's first game in the NJCAA Playoffs. You can watch the game here. In the game Boucher finishes with 29 points, 16 rebounds, and 11 blocked shots.

The 6-foot-10 center from Northwest junior college in Wyoming made an official visit this weekend to Eugene and ended his recruitment after the visit.

Boucher averaged 22.5 points per game during the season - eighth-most in the nation at the Division 1 level for the NJCAA. He also ranked fifth in the country in rebounds with 11.8 and third in blocks with 4.7 per game.

After leading Northwest to a 31-5 record in 2014-15 and a trip to the NJCAA D1 Championship he was named a first-team All-American by the NJCAA.

Three times this past season the Canadian big man recorded a triple double. His best game of the year was a 30 point, 18 rebound, 10 block performance against Casper junior college. In a win at United Tribes Tech he compiled a 32 point, 12 rebound, and 11 block performance.

The addition of Boucher brings Oregon's roster to 12 scholarship players next season, and Oregon's 2015 recruiting class climbs to 20th overall in the country.



Oregon's 2015 recruiting class now carries two high school four-star guards in Kendall Small and Tyler Dorsey, a high school four-star forward Trevor Manuel, and JUCO transfer center Boucher.
