Oregon's Boucher, Bell to return, Dorsey still deciding on draft

Despite earlier reports to the contrary, Oregon could keep most of its core intact going into next season.

Ducks coach Dana Altman told Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports that Chris Boucher, who was reported to be declaring for the NBA draft, has elected to return to the team next season, as has sophomore forward Jordan Bell.

Altman added guard Tyler Dorsey is still weighing his options for next season, and has yet to make a decision on the draft one way or another. Altman said the same for leading scorer Dillon Brooks, though Brooks later told ESPN's Jeff Goodman that he would be declaring for the draft without an agent.

Retaining the trio of Ducks could be huge for Oregon next year. The lanky Boucher posted 12.1 points per game to go along with 7.4 rebounds and 2.9 blocks, while Dorsey chipped in an average of 13.4 points, and Bell put up seven points per game as a reserve guard.

Any of the players could declare for the draft and still withdraw by May 25, as long as they refrain from hiring an agent.
