Re: Altman pursuing another guard?
I'm glad it isn't one of us who is responsible for recruiting this late in the season... Not a dang thing would get started, let alone finished, with the amount of debate is going on.

Rudy Fernandez is not a huge weapon on offense.dthomas=ddixon wrote:I love the idea of bring in Helsip. Almost every great team has that one small white dude that does nothing but hit dagger threes all game. Can't play defense, doesn't rebound but is a huge weapon on offense. Kinda like Rudy Fernandez. It's not like this team is lacking big athletic wing players. Adding a 3 point shooter would be a big addition IMO.

When Rudy grows a pair & shoots with confidence he is. He sure as hell wasn't one in the playoffs though.swagnatic101 wrote:Rudy Fernandez is not a huge weapon on offense.dthomas=ddixon wrote:I love the idea of bring in Helsip.

Has Jones signed his LOI? because one of the visitors is unofficial? I guess im thinking too hard. ahahahaduckgrad99 wrote:Mops is reporting that Oregon will have 3 visitors for basketball tommorow.

Re: Altman pursuing another guard?
2 of the recruits that have been mentioned as visiting are Tyrone Nared and Brady Heslip. I don't know who the 3rd recruit is since there really hasn't been any talk of other 2010 recruits besides Nared and Heslip. Maybe it's Paul McCoy, who is from Grant HS in Portland and is looking to transfer from SMU. He's developed into a good player, averaging about 13 ppg last season until he tore his ACL at the end of the season. That may limit his choices since not many schools want players who are rehabbing from a torn ACL.duckgrad99 wrote:Mops is reporting that Oregon will have 3 visitors for basketball tommorow.

Re: Altman pursuing another guard?
Are we sure it's even someone from the 2010 class? It could be someone from next year's class. If it is someone from this year's class, I really can't think of any players that I would see as Pac-10 quality.UOducksTK1 wrote:It's not McCoy, it's someone instate, just not Jones.greenyellow wrote:2 of the recruits that have been mentioned as visiting are Tyrone Nared and Brady Heslip.

Re: Altman pursuing another guard?
Yea, it has to be a 2011 kid, unless it's a "preferred" walkon. There aren't any other Oregon kids in this class who are Pac 10 caliber who are uncommitted.greenyellow wrote:Are we sure it's even someone from the 2010 class?

Re: Altman pursuing another guard?
There are a couple of intriguing possibilities in the Oregon class of 2011... power forwards Kyle Wiltjer (Jesuit) and Austin Kueper (Westview) both of whom are in the top 60 on ESPN's rankings.
Altman would probably love one of these guys.

Re: Altman pursuing another guard?
I'm thinking it's Wiltjer since he seems to be really interested in Altman and it's about the time that juniors start taking some visits.woundedknees wrote:There are a couple of intriguing possibilities in the Oregon class of 2011... power forwards Kyle Wiltjer (Jesuit) and Austin Kueper (Westview) both of whom are in the top 60 on ESPN's rankings.

Re: Altman pursuing another guard?
Wiltjer is a 5 star on Rivals, a 4 star on Scout, with a 95 rating from ESPN. That's pretty rarified ranking for an Oregon-grown prospect. At 6'9"/225-ish, he definitely has the size to handle the high post Altman seems to favor.
Kuemper is 6'9"/240-ish, if Rivals is correct. ESPN currently has him rated at 87.
Of the 2, my money is on Wiltjer, who was recently quoted as having some interest in Oregon. A couple of his AAU teammates would be a nice plus if it could be a package deal...

Re: Altman pursuing another guard?
I think people need to pony up the small 9 a month to DT if they want the info and TK needs to stop pooching the info and saying stuff like "I'm not at liberty to say but its not him"
