Jabari Brown Leaving Oregon???

[greenyellow]

It appears he has a history of changing schools; maybe with good reason, maybe not.

Brown was averaging 6.0 points as a starter in both games, was shooting just 27 percent and led the Ducks with 11 turnovers.
He began his high school career at Salesian, then transferred to Findlay Prep (Nev.) for his senior season. But he left Findlay at midyear and completed his career at Oakland High.
A phone message left at his parents' home was not immediately returned.

Kind of makes you now think it was inevitable that he would try transferring or leave early for the NBA.

It's still odd that Brown would leave after playing in just two games at Oregon. I hope he reconsiders and comes back.

Rumor on other boards is that his handlers are behind this. They didn't think his skills where being showcased enough for the NBA. My question is, if a kid is turning over the ball 10 times a game and missing layups, how can a coach showcase his skills?

I could see maybe, maybe after like 10 games but to leave after 2? I've had 2 game runs where I've gone scoreless or 2 game runs where I scored 35 each game. 2 games just is not enough to make a judgement on anything. You think if Kobe averages 6 turnovers a game in his first 2 games he's gonna demand a trade? No he's gonna work on his game and work it out on the floor. Just weird

I wonder if he is still attending class? The academic calendar says the last day to withdraw is 11/13, so if he quits school now does he get an incomplete or a "F"? What happens to his eligibility regardless of where he plays basketball unless he goes the JC route?

If that handler story is true, then that's just another example of why college basketball is just as flawed as any other sport. Everyone loves March Madness, and for good reason...but behind the scenes college basketball is kind of disgusting.

There should be a rule where you can go pro out of high school, but if you go to college you have to stay for at least 3 seasons..
