"Probably after the summer I will narrow it down, around August or September,” Shittu said. “I guess (I want to go) where I can play my game, a lot of development, a lot of NBA alumni and a coach that lets his players play.”

It does not sound like he is leaning to reclassify and although he is talking to a Kentucky site I don't like the sound of his answers . Leaning Kentucky in that interview perhaps. s***, or should I say Shittu, we could seriously use him this year and next for that matter.

Well after reading that cant give a crystal ball to Oregon for him. Heck, not even a crystal kidney stone. As Hines would say ...

I am not going to go off what some Kentucky recruiting blog says until Shittu actually reclassifies for this year. Worry about losing him then. We will have a lot of competition for any transfer we try to land. The press was asking Mike Brown the other day why Elijah would pick us over Gonzaga. Any players we add are going to need to be extremely convinced this is the best place for them. Having a couple of Ducks drafted sure would help!

We'll have 3 ducks drafted. That said Dana hasn't had the guys who the NBA covets. He can't coach Bell to be a legit 6'9 (he's maybe 6'7) he can't coach Brooks to having 3" longer arms, and he can't coach Dorsey into having longer arms either. No coach in America would have gotten any of this guys into the lottery. Kentucky gets guys picked, but the truth is those same guys would have been high picks coming out of HS. It's not like UK is doing something to make them high picks.

Does Dorsey get drafted? I really don't see that happening Buckmark. But I agree with you about Kentucky, those guys are high draft picks out of high school or wherever they lace up the sneakers for a year.

Boucher has a legitimate shot at getting drafted.

Shittu said he will not re-classify to 2017. Very important to try and land Bowen now.
