Oregon freshman guard Willie Moore is transferring. Will likely end up close to home, near Cincinnati.
Disappointing, but we pretty much had a good idea that either Moore or Richardson would be transferring. Oregon really needs to recruit another PG.

Stinky... I guess you can't blame him though. When Artis went out, You figured he'd see more minutes for how bad Loyd was playing for that stretch.
Best of luck to him, would be nice to pull in another legit JC late in the game.

Odds on Willie Moore taking his new team to the Final Four someday?

Any word as to what school? I'm a Miami U alum, so I'd love to see him end up there.

Figured it'd be between him and Richardson but I guess he sees the opportunity for PT at slim to none with Loyd and Artis. This may have been where Altman was hoping to get a scholarship for Gordon.

We will be fine next season with Artis and Loyd. I bet we recruit a point guard next year. Maybe the coaching staff knew about this, which would explain room to recruit someone else.

I'd say a PG and a couple frontcourt players is what's needed for next year's class, depending on who else they get for recruits/transfers this year.

I thought he looked out of place when he was on the court... my guess is that he will drop down a notch in competition. This is probably a relief for Altman.

Maybe you're right. But for whatever reason he saw fewer minutes when Artis was out (whether he really just wasn't that good, or he felt stolen of minutes), the transfer might be best for him.

Bummer but of the 2 I'd rather have Richardson. Hopefully we can pick up a good PG in next years class.

As discussed in the past, Moore looked like an absolute train wreck nearly every time he took the court, displaying minimal basketball skills and an even lower basketball IQ. Judging by his body language on the bench, I also had questions about his attitude. There shouldn't be much problem putting this scholarship to better use in the future.
