6-foot-7 center Kennedy Basham commits to Kelly Graves and Oregon Ducks (yahoo.com)
BASHAM may be a tall commit for Oregon who can see BETTS eye-to-eye, but the Ducks' biggest catch from the Class of 2022 is #7 overall recruit 5'9 PG Chance GRAY, who is ranked right below #6 overall Kiki RICE as the 2nd highest ranked PG.
In an interview about her recruiting, GRAY's final two were Oregon and UCLA. I speculate that another reason why she chose the Ducks over the Bruins is because UCLA already has Class of 2022 #9 overall 5'5 PG Londynn JONES and Class of 2023 #16 overall 5'6 PG Jada WILLIAMS (who was very impressive as the starting PG of the gold winning USA U16 national team last month).
WOW! THe Class of 2022 is shaping up to be a stronghold of the PAC 12, as they so far have coralled 7 of the Top 11:
#1 - Lauren BETTS 6'7 C Stanford
#4 - Timea GARDNER 6'3 PF Oregon State
#7 - Chance GRAY 5'9 PG Oregon
#8 - Aaliyah GAYLES 5'9 PG USC
#9 - Londynn JONES 5'5 PG UCLA
#10 - Maya NNAJI 6'4 PF Arizona
#11 - Raegen BEERS 6'2 C Oregon State
#20 - Paris CLARK 5'8 SG UCLA
#28 - Kailyn GILBERT 5'9 SG Arizona
#33 - Hannah STINES 5'10 SG Washington
#35 - Jennah ISAI 5'11 SF Oregon
#44 - Kennedy BASHAM 6'7 C Oregon
