Terrence Jones announcing his decision on Friday

[greenyellow]

Mops is saying Jones is wearing Washington gear so it looks like we'll be seeing him and Ross at least 2 times next year.

Mops corrected himself and said its Ross in Huskies gear. Still not hopeful.

[greenyellow]

He's a Husky. Hopefully he won't be there long.

Jones and Ross both to Washington. Ouch.

[Boom]

Huskies are stacked now, not looking good for us

[uostudent]

Well Oregon can forget about contending in the Pac 10 for at least the next 2 years. I really don't think he's one and done if he's going to UW. Guessing he wanted to be close to home and play with Ross....

Well this sucks. Ben Howland should now fear for his job security.

Jones and Ross both to Washington. Ouch.

The coaching situation is what really turned him to Washingon. Sounds like he wanted to play for Oregon before all of the coaching stuff happened. He sort of alluded to that in his decision.

Oregon just needs to get up into the upper division of the conference before we can consider a championship.

It wasn't just the coaching situation. He said that that he wanted to go to an established program (i.e. a winner). He wasn't coming here because the team has been garbage for the past two years.

Kent really lost the recruiting battle for a lot in-state talent due to his inconsistency. Hopefully Altman can end that and start locking down the state.

Washington had two pretty bad seasons in 2006 and 2007. Boy have things changed fast. The ducks need to rebound like that.

Good coaching will get us there. Good coaching will eventually lead to good recruiting.

[Juice]

I dunno why I tortured myself like that.

I don't think the Huskies are considered an established winner. Romar is just as inconsistent as Ernie was. Especially when you consider the talent that he has had.

But they are coming off of a sweet 16 appearance. Romar is an average coach, but he is a great recruiter.

Washington may go to the Elite 8 next year...

Oregon needs to consistently be competing for one of the top 3 spots in the Pac 10 if they want to keep in state kids.

As I said earlier in this thread, anyone who really believed that Jones was coming to Oregon was delusional.
