Recruiting: How will Oregon Ducks reshape their Final Four roster?

At the conclusion of the Oregon Ducks basketball program's historic run to the Final Four, Dana Altman had three 2017 recruits signed and no further scholarships available.

Since that time, however, Dillon Brooks, Jordan Bell and Tyler Dorsey have declared for the NBA draft, and Casey Benson and Kavell Bigby-Williams (possibly) announcing plans to transfer.

Suddenly looking at three (and possibly four) empty spots, Altman has hit the recruiting trail aggressively in the past few weeks.

On Monday, that paid off with the addition of four-star big man Kenny Wooten Jr.

Who are the Ducks top targets and who can Oregon fans expect in a Ducks uniform next season?

Oregon already has four big-time recruits in the fold, headlined by five-star point forward Troy Brown Jr.

5* G/F Troy Brown Jr. (Las Vegas, NV)

Consensus five-star point forward Troy Brown Jr. is Oregon's first-ever recruit to play in the McDonald's All-American Game, Nike Hoop Summit and Jordan Brand Classic.

The 6-foot-7, 215-pound athlete, out of Las Vegas, Nevada, has already won a gold medal with Team USA, and projects as a possible one-and-done candidate.

4* SF Abu Kigab (Napa, CA)

Prolific Prep wing Abu Kigab committed to Oregon over offers from Baylor, Creighton, Kansas, Minnesota, Ohio State, Villanova and others.

"I just felt like it was a great situation for a player, such as myself. I felt really comfortable with the coaches and the environment they set and the tone," he said. "It's a really competitive place and the coaches won't try to change you. It's a great place."

The 6-foot-6, 200-pound small forward is originally from Canada, and contributed 17 points and 10 rebounds in a 99-84 loss to Team USA in the U18 championships.

4* G V.J. Bailey (Austin, TX)

Four-star combo guard V.J. Bailey won the American Family Insurance High School Slam Dunk Contest (measuring a 41.5-inch vertical leap) and is rated the nation's No. 86 prospect by ESPN.

The 6-foot-3, 175-pound prospect, out of Austin, Texas, signed with Oregon over offers from Arkansas, Creighton, Indiana, Marquette, Missouri, Nebraska, Ohio State, Texas A&M, Texas Tech, USC, Wake Forest and many others.

4* PF Kenny Wooten Jr. (Manteca, CA)

Top 100 national prospect Kenny Wooten was committed to Arizona State, but reopened his recruitment and admitted Oregon played a huge role in that decision.

Shortly thereafter, he committed to the Ducks over recent offers from St. John's and UCLA.

Wooten is a 6-foot-8, 205-pound power forward who projects into a similar role as the one Jordan Bell played during his time at Oregon.

Oregon leans

With three scholarships available, Altman has some work to do, but two targets stand out as Oregon leans as their decisions approach.

David Banks

5* C Brandon McCoy (San Diego, CA)

Seemingly down to a top two of Oregon and Michigan State, Rivals, Scout and 247Sports experts all seem to agree that Brandon McCoy, ESPN's No. 6 prospect nationally, is leaning towards the Ducks.

The 6-foot-11, 240-pound big man played in the McDonald's All-American Game and the Jordan Brand Classic, where he posted a double-double.

As a senior, McCoy averaged 29 points, 13 rebounds and five assists per game.

Grad transfer New Mexico G Elijah Brown

Last season, New Mexico's Elijah Brown poured in 18.8 points, 5.2 rebounds and 3.1 assists per game, but has elected to transfer for the upcoming season.

The 6-foot-4, 200-pound guard, son of Golden State Warriors assistant Mike Brown, visited Oregon and Altman traveled to chat with his famous father earlier this week.

Brown has a number of high-level options, including Gonzaga, Iowa State and Northwestern.

However, Oregon appears to be among his top choices.

Targets

Even if Oregon were to land all three of the aforementioned targets that would still leave two scholarships available.

Of course, that nucleus alone would mark Oregon's best recruiting class in school history.

where else could Altman turn?

5* SF Brian Bowen (La Porte, IN)

Five-star small forward Brian Bowen had Oregon in his top 12 before cutting his list to a top five of Arizona, Creighton, Michigan State, North Carolina State and Texas.

However, Bowen has publicly admitted Oregon has reached out recently, and the 6-foot-7, 195-pound wing, who was the East MVP of the Jordan Brand Classic, may still take a visit to Eugene.

If Oregon does, in fact, get a visit anything can happen.

4* SF Jordan Tucker (White Plains, NY)

247Sports four-star wing Jordan Tucker, rated the nation's No. 51 prospect, has indicated he is down to a top three of Georgia Tech, Oregon and Syracuse.

He's set to visit all three before making a decision, although the Yellow Jackets are considered the slight favorites.

Pitt G Cameron Johnson

Pitt transfer Cam Johnson has two years remaining and will be immediately eligible.

Last season, the sophomore averaged 11.9 points, 4.5 rebounds and 2.3 assists per game.

Dana Altman took an in-home visit last week, and the Ducks are among several programs interested in the 6-foot-8, 210-pound forward.

Reclassifying?

NBA-bound small forward Dillon Brooks reclassified in order to arrive in Eugene a year early.

Could it happen again this year?

5* PF Simi Shittu (Burlington, Ontario, Canada)

ESPN five-star power forward Simi Shittu, playing at Vermont Academy, is rated the nation's No. 9 prospect in the class of 2018.

However, there's been talk of a possible reclassification to the 2017 class.

In its way-too-early 2018 predictions, two of four Rivals national experts projected Shittu to Oregon.

Reclassifying is not terribly uncommon, but will that possibility far from certain, it's tough to project Shittu's future.

Transfers (sit out one year)

These players won't help Oregon next season, but like Paul White (Georgetown to Oregon last year), they may make a future impact on the program.

Duke PF/C Chase Jeter

Duke post Chase Jeter struggled to find a fit with the Blue Devils, but was a five-star prospect in the class of 2015.

Oregon was one of the schools he initially said he was considering, but there's been little movement since.

Jeter is visiting Cal this week.
