2012 Cincinnati Combo Guard Visiting Oregon

[Boom]

not if you saw him play this past year.

I have not... but I'm pretty sure Bill Self has.

Did you watched him?

[oregontrack]

yes, and i'll say the same thing i said before he started his senior year: lucas blew up as a 16 year old and people projected big things, but the kid plateaued his sophomore year. he hasn't gotten any better.

kansas can afford to keep him as their 4th big guy off the bench in hopes he blossoms, because they're already loaded with front line talent. if, in three or four years, lucas develops into a rotational big man, more power to him and kansas. we could have taken him in as a project, too, but we need contributors. that is not landen lucas.

None of that makes sense... Kansas is not loaded with front line talent... they are actually very thin... which is why they signed three bigs in this class and as should we... but we only have one.

And who are those going to be?

i honestly don't know what confused you. it's kansas, the talent is always there. bill self is going to start perry freaking ellis and jeff withey in his frontcourt next year. yeah, that's not too shabby... and here's thinking they just might reload with another mcdonald's all american or two up front in the next few years. you know, they being kansas and all.

when you're kansas and have other options, you can afford sleepers who won't produce for several years, if ever, like lucas.

And who are those going to be?

i don't know. but landen lucas was never going to be one of them. might as well have just offered that larson kid a scholarship and kept him. neither one was going to do anything, at least larson was already on the team.

it's not a conspiracy, boom. altman didn't pull lucas' offer just for kicks and giggles.

*Update*

Gamecocks now out front for Moore after visit

USC is now the front runner for 6-3 PG Willie Moore of Cincinnati following his official visit which wrapped up Friday morning. “I really like South Carolina,” Moore said. “I really, really like them. They are the favorite. The fans, they can’t wait till the season starts. And I loved the coaches. They are fun to be around. They are funny people. They said they need a point guard like me who can come in and help them.” Moore will visit Oregon next Wednesday thru Friday. He said a few days after that he will be ready to render a decision. Working in the Ducks’ favor is the presence of a good friend of Moore’s who is on the football team, and his relationship with one of the assistant coaches who use to be an assistant at Cincinnati.

Interesting that South Carolina is offering Moore as a PG. That could be a deciding factor.

At least he didn't commit on his visit.

He is a duck! Is there still room for 1 more?

[buckmarkduck]

Solid get, on top of the offers people have talked about already he also had an offer from Miss St and it sounds like Butler was close to offering. We still have room for 1 of the PF.

While this class may not be highly ranked by national pundits, it appears Altman is assembling a very solid group of talented, high character guys Duck fans can be proud of. Most of these kids should be here for 3-4 seasons (Barring odd-ball unexplained defections), and seem to be team first types.

Somehow add Bennet, and this class looks great.
