Gotta be BW.....with that height and in company with Peter Jacobsen, I am thinking it is BW....Why he would be wearing an Oregon jacket, I do not have a clue....Anyone have anything concrete?

It's definitely Bill Walton. I heard from someone who went to the Rose Bowl that he was at the game.

I think everyone knew Rid was going to be good. His ball-handling was exceptional, he had a lot of confidence, and he started as a freshman. I would not put Kingma in the same category, pr even on the same planet in terms of potential. Anyway, it looks like Kingma weeded himself out, so no use going on about what could have been.

He was wearing an Oregon jacket because he lost a bet

I think it was to Peter Jacobson on a bet on who'd win the Pac-12 Championship game. Needless to say, it was a bet Walton had almost no shot at winning.

Best of luck to him. I only saw him play, in person, once. At the Vandy game. Dude has a pretty shot and he hustled, which is more than I can say Jabari did. Best of luck wherever ya end up.

Sounds as definite as possible outside of something official from the UO itself:
