With Mikesell and including recruits:

1 from Germany, 2 from Australia, 1 from New Jersey, 2 from Kentucky, 1 from Ohio, 1 from Indiana, 1 from Illinois, 1 from Texas, 1 from Arizona, and 1 from San Diego, Ca. 12 who live over 1000 miles away. Only senior Giomi from Seattle Washington is less than that about 300 miles away. Even the 6 who left were all from far (1 Germany, 1 Australia, 1 England, 1 Alaska with two "just" 500 miles away from the Bay area-Sabrina & Minyon Moore). The last player from Oregon who played for the Ducks was Eugene hometown girl, Lexi Bando, who played 3 seasons ago.

Graves recruits from all over and has created a great reputation to both xfrs and HS recruits. This article does a good job explaing why she made the decision. It will be interesting if Stanfor grad xfr Carrington still chooses Oregon as her finalists were the Ducks, UConn, and Baylor.
