Will challenge for a starting roll after being one of the first guards off the bench a season ago ... possesses tremendous range and can hit consistently from well beyond the arc ... in 2001-2002 was a major threat off the bench and saw action in all 35 games ... shot 404 from downtown netting 46 threes.

Andre Joseph

Prolific junior college scorer hopes to continue his offensive prowess at the Division 1 level ... will battle for a starting nod at the two-guard ... has the potential to be even more successful than UO's recent JC backcourt transfers, including the highly productive duo of Alex Scales and Darius Wright ... averaged 22.3 points, 6.0 rebounds and 3.0 assists as a sophomore at Lee Junior College in Baytown, Texas.

Brian Helquist
Senior 6-9
Jacksonville, Fla.
Center

Has been working hard in the off-season to better condition himself and get stronger to avoid the minor injuries that nagged him during his first season in Eugene ... an enforcer who possesses a delicate touch around the basket ... first in line to assume center position left vacant by the graduation of Chris Christoffersen ... during the 2001-2002 season saw action off the bench in 30 games ... averaged 3.5 points and 2.6 rebounds per game ... shot 53.7 percent from the field (44-of-82), resulting from his soft touch around the hoop.

Aggressive rebounder with great insticts for the ball ... an all-conference candidate who is the leading returning rebounder in the Pac-10 (7.5 per game) ... a potential double-double threat who will be looked upon to contribute more on the offensive end as a senior ... perhaps the first true power rebounder at Oregon since center Jerry Adams (1982-86) ... the ultimate team player ... in 2001-2002 stepped in immediately from the junior college ranks to lead the ream and rank fifth in the Pac-10 in rebounding.
