Time to move on and hope that whoever Altman has got so far helps this team make the NCAA Tourney next year. Sooner or later, though, Altman needs to win some more of these battles for top West Coast talent.

No shock, but would have been awesome if we somehow pulled him in. If the Robinson twins don't contribute a lot in the future, this class is rather thin. Hope we can get a big time forward next class.

Definitely not a decision I understand, but oh well. Hope he enjoys riding pine. I'd guess one of Gordon/Ashley will be regretting their decision.

Hope Altman can bring in an Ashaolu or Kazemi type.

Disgusted by this. He would have been the star at Oregon and the #1 guy here.

For a kid that is predicted as a "One and Done" type player, he better hope that, if that is indeed his expectation, he can bust a move into the starting line-up.

I have watched the Ducks since the mid sixties, and the number of these kids who line up to potentially be a role player at a place like Arizona, rather than taking the chance to be a "program changer," at a place like Oregon, never ceases to amaze me.

Agreed. From what I read here on what Gordon wanted, Arizona is a stupid decision.

Hopefully, Altman can break the trend of major ballers who develop at Oregon High Schools (Yes, I am well aware that Gordon is not an Oregon product) migrating to programs outside the state.

For every Fred Jones, Maarty Leunen or Luke Jackson, there were 2-3 who never gave Oregon a serious look (The Stoudamire clan comes to mind). Some of the blame has to be placed at the feet of past coaching staffs, but it shouldn't be that difficult to sell what Altman is cookin'.

Continued success should help.

It seems that Oregon is still looking to add to the roster (according to 247 Sports), but I'm still not sure where they're getting the scholarship. I see all 13 scholarships for next year are spoken for but am wondering if they're hedging in case Felicio doesn't get in or someone transfers.

The guys on 247 think Felicio gets in.

Are they looking at a big or a guard?

Well add Gordon to the list of players who enjoy underachieving.
