After a second-round exit in the 2025 NCAA Tournament, Dana Altman and the Oregon Ducks are now focusing on the offseason and building out a roster for next year. On Saturday, the Ducks landed a commitment from Texas Longhorns transfer Devon Pryer. A 6-foot-7 small forward who played in just seven games as a freshman for the Longhorns, he played in 24 games as a sophomore this season, averaging just over 12 minutes per game.
Now it appears that the Ducks have a focus on acquiring some shooting out of the portal, making contact with Monmouth guard Abdi Bashir.

According to 247Sports’ London, Oregon is one of many schools to reach out to Bashir, who was voted to the All-CAA First Team this past season after averaging 20.1 points per game on 37.7% FG, 38.3% 3FG, and 86.8% FT. Bashir led the country in made 3-pointers with 121, four shy of the CAA’s all-time mark.
Bashir started 32 of 33 games for Monmouth this season, averaging 2.6 rebounds and 2.2 assists, taking an average of 10 3-pointers per game. This is the type of player that Oregon needs on the roster, especially with Keeshawn Barthelemy graduating. The Ducks’ struggled with shooting from deep at times this past year, and could benefit greatly from a sharp-shooter who does nothing but pull up from deep at a high clip.
