"The one thing that sets Barron apart from a lot of other back court performers (especially in Illinois) is that he is extremely physical. He does a great job of bodying up defenders and is more than capable of shutting opponents down. At the offensive end, he knows how to use his upper body strength to his advantage, as he is able to get inside on smaller defenders and is also one of the better rebounding guards that you will find."

Maybe we can arrange a 1 on 1 competition with his bro, Justin Dentmon, for comparison purposes...

Barron doesn't seem to be as talented as some of the other four stars out there. But it sounds like he's very aggressive defensively and shows a lot of intensity on the court. We need some hustlers out there, I like this pickup.

I still want Jabrari Brown though lol.

Brown is one of the wings that I still want, along with Amir Garrett. It sounds like we have good shots with them so hopefully at least one of them decides on Oregon.

Yeah land one of them + Juan and add in another big and I say this class was a success.

I think he may be a little raw. I read that he's only been playing PG for 2 years. If Altman does intend him to play PG and not SG then he's gona need to get his handle a little tighter.

He can play at SG some due to his height and athleticism, but could play some PG behind Armstead and Loyd.

Nice pick up. Its great to see Altman already getting some good talent before we've even played a game. And we know he can coach. Things are looking up.

The more I see of the highlights on Barron, the more I anticipate his arrival.

I think the Ducks are going to be very glad Dana Altman brought him on board.
