Jasper Johnson ranked as top 100 transfer, fits with Oregon per ESPN
The Oregon Ducks have needed to reload the roster, and Dana Altman landed a top 100 transfer in Jasper Johnson from Kentucky.
The Oregon Ducks are going to look very different on the hardwood next season. Following a big group of graduations and departures through the transfer portal, Dana Altman is picking up the pieces and reloading the roster in Eugene. Altman has scoured the portal for talent of every kind.
Size in the frontcourt, shooters on the wing, and a ball-handler in the backcourt. So far, he's landed some intriguing talents, but his best acquisition might be Jasper Johnson , a guard who transferred from Kentucky. ESPN's Jeff Borzello ranked the top 100 transfers this offseason , and Johnson just cracked the list at No.
99, heading to Eugene. Former Ducks Jackson Shelstad (transferring to Louisville) and Kwame Evans Jr. (transferring to Villanova) both made the list in front of Johnson, but Altman has to be excited about his SEC transfer in the backcourt.
Standing at 6-foot-5, Johnson has the size to drive to the bucket and the ability to step out and knock down shots around the floor. A former top 25 recruit, Johnson's potential remains untapped. There's reason to believe he could flourish with the Ducks in the fall.
