Oregon Ducks' Dana Altman Offers Rising-Star Recruit On Pro16 Circuit

6-6, 190-pound combo guard JRob Croy has been shooting up national rankings and has been one of the rising stars on the Puma Pro16 Circuit this summer with Team CPSA, which was named the 2025 Pro16 17U champion. The Southern California native plays his high school ball for Riverside Poly.

As a four-star recruit in the 2026 class, Croy is a rather large guard who is consistent with all his different shooting spots from outside the arc and can create scoring opportunities for others. He has a strong frame and overall feel for the game with an underrated ability to compete on the defensive end.

Along with the Oregon Ducks offering him this summer, he has also been approached by the Gonzaga Bulldogs, Texas A&M Aggies, Clemson Tigers, Washington State Cougars, and Stanford Cardinal, whom he plans to officially visit on July 29. No other official visits have been announced yet.

As of right now, Croy ranks as the No. 107 overall recruit in the country, the No. 16 combo guard, and No. 11 player out of the state of California (per 247 Sports).
