Dana Altman and the Oregon Ducks have done a great job of rebuilding their roster this offseason. Using the transfer portal, they have again put together a team that hopes to contend in the Big Ten Conference and return to the NCAA Tournament.
The Ducks are also working to build a strong recruiting class in the future, and they’re doing so by bringing in one of the top players in the 2026 recruiting class, 5-star small forward Tajh Ariza. 247Sports rates the son of former NBA star Trevor Ariza, Tajh, as the No. 4 player in the 2026 class.
Ariza will take an official visit to Oregon on September 6, according to On3’s Joe Tipton. Ariza stands at 6-foot-8, 180 pounds, and is also considering schools like Arizona State, Arkansas, Kansas, Kansas State, Kentucky, UCLA, UNLV, and USC.
Altman is using a big football weekend to help with the visit, as the Oklahoma State Cowboys come to Eugene to face Dan Lanning and the Ducks that weekend in Eugene.
The Ducks currently have one commitment in the class of 2026, and he’s a dual-sport athlete — 5-star tight end Kendre Harrison, who is rated as the No. 41 basketball player in the class and the No. 20 football player in the nation.
