2010-11 Outlook:
Oregon State is coming off a rather strange season that was very Jekyll and Hyde. Predicted to be one of the better teams in a weakened Pac-10, the Beavers began their season with an embarrassing 24-point loss to Texas A&M-Corpus Christi, and also suffered baffling losses at home versus Sacramento State, at Illinois-Chicago, and a 51-point shellacking at the hands of Seattle U. No, seriously… 51 points.
Now, head coach Craig Robinson will try to build off last year’s perplexing outcome without taking a major step backward. It will not be easy though. The Beavers were pathetic on the offensive end finishing 334th out of 347 Division I teams in points per game. Considering Oregon State loses two of its top three scorers, that is not a good sign. That is their style of play though under Robinson. The Beavers like to grind it out with a slow down style of play while working hard on the defensive end.
Leading scorer Calvin Haynes returns to run the show while a plethora of forwards including UTEP transfer Eric Moreland, will try to find some consistency up front. Redshirt freshman Roberto Nelson will provide some spark on the offensive end, but Oregon State could be in for a long year in what should be another down season in the Pac-10.
Player to Watch: Roberto Nelson, G/F
Nelson was a highly recruited member of the Beavers’ 2009 class. Due to eligibility issues, the 6-4 swingman did not play in a single game and was not even allowed to practice with the team for a good portion of the season. Nelson ended up redshirting but is expected to be on the floor come November. He will be counted on to make an immediate impact especially in filling up the basket.
