Head coach Ernie Kent said at Thursday's media day that this year's Ducks are more
athletic than last year's, when they reached the Elite Eight
Men's

handful of guards, including sharp
shooting junior James Davis. But jun
ior college transfer Andre Joseph,
who averaged 22.3 points last season
at Lee Junior College in Baytown,
Texas, is expected to make major
contributions at shooting guard.
“Those are some big shoes to fill,
and I’m trying to replace him as best
as I can,” Joseph said of Jones, who
was a first-round draft pick of the In
diana Pacers.
Jordan Kent, a basketball and
track star at Eugene’s Churchill
High, and fellow freshman Brandon
Lincoln of Portland will also see
some time at shooting guard.
“This is the most talented team
I’ve ever been on,” Joseph said.
Senior Robert Johnson, who Kent
said is capable of putting up a dou
ble-double every night, will manage
the power forward spot.
Replacing Christoffersen in the
post is senior Brian Helquist, who
lost more than 20 pounds during the
offseason and said it has helped his
endurance.
“He looks great. He’s even inspired
me to lose weight,” Kent said.
Redshirt freshman Ian Gross
white, a native Australian, gives the
Ducks a versatile backup at center.
"This is the most
talented team I've
ever been on."

The Ducks, ranked in the top 20
in many preseason publications,
have what Kent calls the school’s
toughest schedule in at least 25
years. The preseason schedule in
cludes Cincinnati, Minnesota, Pep
perdine and Kansas, the team that
knocked the Ducks out of the
NCAA Tournament last year and is
No. 1 according to many publica
tions this season.
“That’s what college basketball’s all
about,” Jackson said of the schedule.
“We’re excited to be in the national
spotlight. We want to show that we’re
no fluke. We want to show that we’re
a national power.”
