Brandon Austin to Oregon

[Deleted member 3149]

Sketchy business up in Eugene. Jordan Bell, Ray Kasongo and Brandon Austin all have track records of poor academics. Good to know the NCAA is a legitimate organization that practices what it preaches.

How does that (ka) song go?

Their entire team is transfers, but at least we know Altman's recruiting philosophy. T&T = tampering & transfers

Does this count as PC also getting Kasongo'd?

Joe Young too. They are making a living off of our mistakes. Easy to do I know, but for Christ...

The Ducks also signed juco center Michael Chandler for next year. He was a highly ranked prospect a few years back (I think in Boatright's class). I remember UConn recruited him briefly, as did a handful of other major programs, but it became known he wouldn't qualify academically. I don't think it's a bad thing to sign juco players but you have to be cautious. It seems like Oregon is taking on a lot of risk all at once.

Yeah, they have a total of 8 players right now who are either transfers or JUCOs. That's pretty crazy, and they have 2 more JUCOs and another transfer coming in next year.

He and Boatright are good friends, they attended PC's LNM a few years ago together.

Sounds like their coach is doing everything possible to win now to get a coaching offer from an elite program.
