The Pac-12 should have more representation in the AP Top 25 to start the 2019-20 season with talent being injected into the conference and some normal powers rising back to the top.

Oregon is one of those teams that should have no problem finding success next year and will be a serious Top 25 candidate before the season begins. Oh, and a Pac-12 regular season title contender, too.

Bol Bol has declared for the NBA draft, which is unfortunate since he was only healthy for nine games with the Ducks, but Oregon brings back Louis King for his sophomore year as well as Payton Pritchard. They only averaged 70 points per game last season, but with the returning talent and No. 11 recruiting class coming in, the Ducks should see that increase.

The program is bringing in three four-star prospects, led by power forward CJ Walker, as well as a three-star transfer in Chris Duarte who is ranked the No. 1 JUCO target in the 2019 class.

Dana Altman’s team only got into the NCAA Tournament because it won the Pac-12 Tournament title, but I don’t think it’ll come down to that next season, especially if everyone remains healthy.
