Message: [QUOTE="jonson, post: 3155565, member: 6034"] Graves likes to use his bench (when he has one), so--ideally, from an Oregon perspective--this won't be a major issue. There will be 5 guards after next year (Parrish will be a wing): Yaeger (a senior), Chavez (junior), Shelley (sophomore), and the two freshmen (Scherr and Paopao), with the first's playing time likely limited by chronic back problems. (She is also the least talented of the 5.) I suspect that Scherr's signing means that Graves believes that the Ducks are no longer a serious contender for Clark, although saying so is probably to undervalue Scherr's talent: for example, she clearly outplayed Van Lith in a recent head-to-head matchup. But whatever else one might say, Graves is clearly recruiting winners: Parrish, Dugalic, and Scherr all led their respective teams to state championships, and, in each case, the title was the first for all three schools. If Oregon is fortunate enough to land Watson, that will make four, with all of them players of the year in their respective states, and all ranked in the top 25 in the most recent Hoopgurlz listing.
