Local Hoops Get a Boost: JUCO Star Kahuranaki Treacher Reaffirms Commitment to Oregon State

In a significant win for the Beavers’ rebuilding efforts, junior college forward Kahuranaki Treacher has officially recommitted to the Oregon State men’s basketball program. The 6-foot-8 standout from South Plains College in Texas brings a much-needed physical presence and scoring touch to Corvallis.

Treacher, who initially pledged to the Beavers last fall, has solidified his decision following an official visit, giving head coach Wayne Tinkle and his staff a cornerstone piece for the future. Known for his athleticism and ability to play both inside and out, Treacher averaged over 12 points and 7 rebounds per game last season, shooting an impressive 58% from the field.

For Oregon fans, this recommitment signals positive momentum. After a challenging season, securing a talent like Treacher addresses a key need for frontcourt depth and versatility. His experience at the collegiate level is expected to allow for a quicker transition to the rigors of Pac-12 play.

“We are thrilled Kahuranaki has reaffirmed his commitment to our Beaver family,” a team spokesperson said. “He embodies the hard-nosed, team-first mentality we are building here and we believe he can make an immediate impact at Gill Coliseum.”

Treacher’s arrival will be closely watched by a loyal fanbase eager to see the Beavers return to competitive form. His commitment is a clear step in that direction, offering a tangible reason for optimism in Corvallis as the program looks to climb back up the conference standings.
