The rosters for the 2026 Nike Hoop Summit were released, and the Oregon Ducks will be represented by incoming four-star recruits Tajh Ariza on the men's side and Emilia Krstevski on the women's side. The annual event features top high school basketball talent from around the world and has produced numerous NBA and WNBA stars over the years.
Why it matters
The Nike Hoop Summit provides a high-profile platform for top recruits like Ariza and Krstevski to showcase their skills against elite competition. Their participation is an exciting development for Oregon fans, as the Ducks look to reload after a down season for the men's team and continue building momentum for the women's program.
The details
Ariza, a four-star small forward, will represent Japan in the men's game. He is the son of 18-year NBA veteran Trevor Ariza and could provide a much-needed boost to the Oregon men's roster, which lost several key players to the transfer portal. On the women's side, four-star post player Krstevski will suit up for Canada. She previously played for the Canadian U17 national team and will add frontcourt depth to a Ducks women's team that has made the NCAA Tournament's second round in back-to-back seasons.
- The 2026 Nike Hoop Summit will take place on April 11 in Portland, Oregon.
- This will be the 27th edition of the men's event and the 4th year for the women's game.
