The Ducks' defense held them back in their two conference losses of the season, and though it had glimpses of good play it was overall disappointing in 2022. That has to change in 2023 or staff shakeups will be needed.

On today's episode of Locked On Ducks, Spencer McLaughlin also reacts to the news that former 5-star and #7 overall HS player Kel'el Ware is leaving the Men's Basketball program. He leaves behind a single season filled with untapped potential.

Ware represents another highly-rated 5-star recruit who didn't work out under Dana Altman. He might need to look at Mark Few at Gonzaga to think about how he should approach recruiting going forward.
