Ducks Attack Message Board Forum

Hey Guys, my nephew wants to visit UO this summer to check out the BB program and campus so I was wondering if any of you know specifically who he should contact in order to set up the visit or insider info that would be helpful.

I really would love for him to meet Dana Altman but not sure if that's possible during the summer or if someone else is in charge of that so any info you have would be great to pass along.

I am beyond proud that he would consider UO and am hopeful he ultimately picks the Ducks. I'm sure it helps ease his Mom's mind that we are just a short distance away and would be here to support him. They are from Paradise and took notice of the Ducks when Jeff Maehl was here (family friend) and when Dana took over, they've seen how well he's done and are notably impressed.

Thanks for the help!

I would recommend that he first fill out this form

If the coaches think that he may have a chance to walk on (I assume that he isn't looking for a scholarship), they'll ask for some film.

He is looking for a scholarship as he is just a Junior in high school. He is a very dedicated player & the family tells me he's pretty darn good. Glad they're checking things out now so he can make the best decision for his goals. I know Duke is a possibility, but I'm not sure the distance would be easy to handle. At least being closer to us gives him a safety net.

Thanks for the info guys, this helps! I'll have his Mom fill out the form asap to ensure they can schedule the visit this summer.

How tall is he, and can he play defense?

Let's see, he's 15 & is over 6'. Of course, I haven't seen him for about a year so I'm guessing he's up to about 6'3". I'm guessing he certainly can play defense. The kid eats, sleeps & ***** basketball 24/7. He's done every single camp imaginable & has created quite a buzz with tons of those in the know. I have high hopes for him!

Just playin' with you , Red!

I know! It sure would be cool if he comes to Oregon though. I love me some Matt Knight arena!

And if he can get to 6'5-7", it would be even sweeter.
