Te-Hina Paopao announces she is "not going anywhere" and will play at Oregon next season
Te-Hina Paopao made it crystal clear on Wednesday that she is committed to the Oregon program.
Paopao, the Ducks’ starting sophomore guard, announced on Twitter that she is steadfastly committed to staying in Eugene and helping Oregon continue to build.
“#12 not going anywhere,” Paopao wrote in her post.
Paopao’s announcement comes two days after Oregon saw a mass exodus of departures. The Ducks’ starting forward and leading scorer, Nyara Sabally, announced that she has entered the WBNA Draft.
Starting guards Maddie Scherr and Sydney Parrish both announced that they have entered the transfer portal, as did backup forward Kylee Watson.

Now, Paopao and guard Endyia Rogers figure to be Oregon’s lone two returning starters next season. They will be joined by a loaded recruiting class that ESPN ranks as the second-best in the nation.
Paopao was Oregon’s third-leading scorer in 2021-22 at 13.6 points per game and was an all-Pac-12 selection for the second year in a row.
