Dana Altman and the Oregon Ducks are turning toward the offseason now that their magical March Madness run came to an end on Saturday night, and there are a few players who they are starting to look at in the transfer portal.
One of those players, according to Relentless Hoops’ Trent Markwith, is former Belmont small forward Cade Tyson, a 6-foot-7 player who is rated by 247Sports as the 11th-best available player in the transfer portal this offseason.
Tyson is going to be a junior in 2024-25, having spent two years at Belmont where he started 59 of his 61 career games, averaging 30 minutes per game. On the floor, Tyson put up an average of 15 points, 5 rebounds, and 1 assist, while shooting 46.5% from beyond the arc.

That last number is what makes Tyson such an intriguing player for the Ducks to go after, with their three-point shooting needing to improve going forward. We will see if Oregon is able to get him to Eugene on a visit this spring and potentially add him to the roster.
