In the midst of a tumultuous offseason for the Oregon Ducks men's basketball program, the team has received a commitment from three-star small forward Seven Spurlock, who previously was committed to Arizona State. Spurlock's addition comes as Oregon looks to rebuild after losing several key players to the transfer portal.

Why it matters

Spurlock's commitment provides a much-needed boost for an Oregon program that is facing questions about its future direction under longtime head coach Dana Altman. With the departure of the Ducks' top scorers, Spurlock could be in line for immediate playing time and a chance to make an impact as Oregon looks to return to the NCAA Tournament.

The details

Spurlock, a 6-foot-5, 210-pound prospect from Dynamic Prep High School in Dallas, Texas, is rated as the No. 200 overall player in the 2026 recruiting class by 247Sports. He had previously been committed to Arizona State before decommitting on March 15. Spurlock chose Oregon over other suitors such as Auburn, Houston, and Nebraska.

  • Spurlock committed to Oregon on March 29, 2026.
  • Spurlock decommitted from Arizona State on March 15, 2026.
