Some but water over the damn.  
Did they miss any?   Seems not.  
Would three of the four have played much ? No

I'm sure that is true, and no the loss of the 4 did not hurt their win/loss record.  I am more interested in what the loss of 4 players in one year says about whether Oregon really makes 4 year commitments to its players.  Before we extol too highly Oregon's recruiting I'd like to know if it was enabled by a ruthless "culling" of its team.   The fact that 3/4 of the departing Oregon players would not have contributed very much simply raises my suspicions more about the circumstances of their departure.  I've been a long time advocate of four year scholarships for this very reason.

A Stanford recruit is going to leave with a degree from a fabulous university even if they almost never get on the court.  I'm thinking of Grace Mashore, Tess Picknell, and more recently Mikaela Brewer (who could conceivably still get some playing time as a senior next year.)  For that matter, Ally Beebe graduated too, although I don't know how her education was funded after her injury cut short her basketball career.
