Rumor? True? I don't know, just what I'm hearing.

KWVA Sports Dept twitter (never heard of it?)
The Oregon Ducks Men's Basketball team is without Jabari Brown, who has apparently left the program, as they get set to take on SEMO state
Really hope this isn't true....

Jerry Allen just announced he has left the team. Wow. Hope he is just having a hard time adjusting and made a brash decision and needs some time to clear his head.

Who knows...I feel ill...
Really puts a damper on the excitement surrounding this season. Fortunately, Devoe Joseph will be eligible soon...

Well that sucks
I wonder if him and Altman were butting heads and he couldn't handle it.
After the first 2 games it looked like he was more concerned with looking cool than playing real basketball.

he played absolutely terrible against EWU. i thought he was the worst player that saw time for either team. he can't shoot, he can't make free throws, he can't pass. but he is only a freshman. it says something about potential that he is playing at all (or maybe our lack of depth, but i think it has to do more with what he can do if he keeps playing hard). no idea why a kid would just leave in the beginning of a season like that.

seriously, seriously disappointing. But if he lacks the mental toughness to grind it out, I think it will be better for both of us if he parts ways now, so we can figure out the new rotation before league play starts.

I think that we owe Jabari time to wait before judging him. We don't know the whole story yet.

That's kind of a shock to see today. Probably means that once DeVoe Joseph is eligible, he's probably our starting 2-guard. Hopefully Brown can find himself and decide what he needs to do.

I could be completely wrong but this has to be some sort of emotional 18 year old blow-up/not very well thought out decision. Maybe Altman or teammates were on his case about his slow starts or something and he didn't take it well. This stinks of brash decision making and after he sleeps on it, he will realize that he made a mistake. For a kid who was all Oregon during and after recruiting, 2 games into a season and making this decision is bizarre. Here is hoping that he sleeps on it and changes his mind and returns to the team.
