Re: Terrence Jones
This kid is really good. But we offered and he couldn't even cruise down I-5 Eugene and check us out that's pretty weak.

Re: Terrence Jones
All assertions to the contrary aside, IMO, Jones was never going to land at Oregon.
Had Altman been hired the day after EK was fired, I seriously doubt there was time to develop the necessary relationship with the new staff.

Re: Terrence Jones
Given the choice to go anywhere in the country to play basketball...can you blame him for going to Kentucky? They are an NBA lottery machine.

IMO, he still should have given him a phone call.

Re: Terrence Jones
IIRC, Jones refused to talk to Altman... Something about not knowing this Oregon staff.

Re: Terrence Jones
"Hey, Terrence. My name's Dana, I was just hired to coach the basketball team at Oregon."
"Oh, really?"
"Yep. You interested in being a Duck?"
(awkward silence)
"... Nah, man. Sorry. I've got some coaches who have been recruiting me for years, and, uh... you know. I want to go somewhere where scouts might actually see me play."
"Oh, okay. No worries. Good luck, kid."
Boom = happy.

I do think he had a genuine interest in Oregon at one time.

Re: Terrence Jones
How does anyone here know that he didn't contact Jones and Ross? I would bet money he did at least reach out to them both.
