Oregon to hire Dana Altman

[AZ BU Fan]

JW who?

I won't be disappointed about BU missing on JW until the kid succeeds somewhere else and lives up to all the hype he has received.

I was more disappointed about BU losing Granger, Tucker, Tisby, Stemler ...players who were here, but then left and had success at other schools.

seriously?
Dwight Buycks not only committed to Bradley, he was planning to sign a Letter of Intent (something JW was never even able to do)..
However, Buycks did not get a satisfactory test score and had to go to juco,
and both Brust & Shumpert had dates with BU but married someone else...and in Brust's case have now broken it off..

Don't remember ever reading about Brust or Shumpert committing to Bradley and that's what I figure is a "date."

Doug McDermott signed an agreement to play basketball for UNI and now he'll be playing for another team in the same conference. I don't believe Wilkins ever signed anything and that was almost two years ago!

Dana seems to have landed another "recruit"...

seems one of the better players in CUSA...a sophomore guard at SMU named Paul McCoy...

McCoy is a Portland native....had a tremendous freshman season at SMU in 2008-2009 averaging 13.4 ppg & 4 rebs, 3 asst...
then he injured his knee during his sophomore campaign and ended up hobbled and missing a dozen games...

Now word is he's gonna leave SMU and transfer back to Oregon and play at UO for Dana!!

Three other big time names might be back on the free market...
David and Travis Wear at North Carolina (both 5-STAR, Class of 2009) are reportedly unhappy (playing time) and going to leave and transfer -- both were 5-Star kids...
The "closer to home" argument makes them possible great gets for a hurting UCLA team...
and 5-Star Brad Beal who had committed to Florida is said to be reconsidering and possibly reopening recruitment --


interesting......
and if interested...here's more transfers......
Two at Michigan State?? - http://www.mlive.com/spartans/index....to_transf.html
This article says that since the guy has got his degree, he should be eligible right away but I am not so sure..

Gonzaga's Grant Gibbs..originally from Iowa may be looking to transfer closer...the guys at Creighton & Iowa think they have him wrapped up..

Dana has lost one of his promising young players...
Jamil Wilson has left Oregon and is transferring to Marquette

He also lost Josh Crittle to UCF.

Juco Tyrone Nared, who was going to Creighton but was cut loose by McDermott, is now headed to Oregon
