I was actually referring to how high his feet were off the floor at full extension... My brother was 6'9", and could dunk with nearly no elevation at all.

From twitter

"JUCO PF Andrew Young is down to Oregon, NC State, and Texas A&M, per his coach. A decision could come in a few days"

Young was at NC State this weekend, supposedly he had a really good trip. I'd be really surprised if Young ended up at NC State. I really think it's down to Oregon and Texas A&M. Coaches from Oregon and A&M had in home visits with Young this morning.

Young has stated that he may want to go outside of his comfort zone and experience life in a different part of the country. Hope he ends up at Oregon because I think he's going to be a big impact player.
“If everybody in this room just want to be real with themselves, this game could have went either way,” he said. “We turned the ball over a lot. We beat ourself. Just be real with yourself right now. We beat ourself.”

The rumor was that NC State was going to have to "blow him away" for him to not pick Oregon. Hopefully that has not changed.

I'm not all that satisfied with the depth along the frontline since after Singler and Woods, there's really no one that has any D1 experience (Carter, Kuemper, and Larson). Best bet is they find someone else (Bennett or another JC transfer) or that the players they already have step up in a major way.

Disappointing. I knew he wasn't going to NC State though. Oh well, best of luck to him.

Agree, but you forgot about Carlos Emory. Oregon definitely needs another big. Chris Obekpa is visiting this weekend, but he's a real longshot. Likely headed to Cincinnati.

At least Singler and Woods are proven starters... Have you seen who we have returning in the backcourt... next year could get ugly.

I'm actually very confident in Artis, I think he'll be a force from day one. But yes, we do need another scorer right now, hopefully the JC can do that for us. Also Emory did show some strong offensive games, maybe he has a big year at the 3 position?

Kingma should add an outside threat to fill some of Sim's void.

T A&M? Maybe he's enamoured with the SEC football beatdowns he'll get to watch...

I"m really excited to watch the growth and development of Artis, but I fully expect him to struggle his freshman year. Especially if he has to carry a big load. Hopefully that JC guy can step right in and help him out.

Keep in mind where Artis played high school basketball. He already has the physical and mental toughness to start at Oregon. And we aren't asking him to score for us, which is a much steeper request. I think building chemistry is the only road block. And under proper teaching with Altman, I don't think that'll be much of a hurdle. Come in, distribute the ball and play defense. I have no doubt he will execute at a high level from day 1.
