Will Richardson Commits
People are suspecting that Richardson was waiting to see what Barrett was going to do before making his decision. He told some recruiting analyst that he'll be committing Thursday, after finding out that Barrett was going to Duke (freeing up early playing time at Oregon), and the Crystal Ball picks for Oregon have been flooding in on 247. He looks like a really solid player. Easily top 50 in the country. Shooting guard that moved to point guard this year. Really good handles, and a really nice looking shot. It looks like he can pull up and hit the three going to both his left and his right, which is more rare than you'd think. Looks like he has the athleticism to defend and rebound at either guard spot, too, which we all know is huge for an Altman player. He looks to me like a left handed Dorsey with better handles and a little more athleticism. I'm really hoping he commits on Thursday. He was considered a Georgia lock a few months ago, and there was speculation that he was trying to come to Oregon to play with his AAU teammate, Emmitt Williams, who was looking like an Oregon lock before **cough** being arrested for sexual assault **cough**. Richardson's final three are Oregon, Georgia, and Gonzaga. I'm guessing he commits to us, but I wouldn't be too shocked if he committed to Georgia now that Williams is definitely not coming here.
People are also speculating that Bol Bol might announce his decision Thursday. That recruitment is weird, though. Seems like something shady is going on. Bol just transferred to Findlay prep, where a Kentucky player's dad is the coach. A lot of people, including everyone on Kentucky's 247 board, still feel like Bol is an Oregon lock, though. Who knows. He feels a little bit like McCoy to me... Like the longer it drags out, the more likely it is he goes somewhere else. I'm still feeling positive about him coming to Oregon.
Fingers crossed on both of them. Landing Bol and Richardson would make this the most well rounded, highest rated class ever at Oregon. 4 top 50 recruits, with one at basically every position. Pretty crazy considering where we were when Altman was hired.

Did emmitt Williams commit anywhere? Or did everyone back off of him?

As far as I know he's still in jail. I doubt he plays anywhere next year.lukeyrid13 wrote:Did emmitt Williams commit anywhere? Or did everyone back off of him?

Really impressive to be stealing Richardson from Avery's backyard. Hope he does indeed pick Oregon as expected.

Hearing rumblings about Bol Bol/UNLV....
Hopefully just rumors..we don't need another BS McCoy situation.
Richardson I'm thinking goes Ducks tomorrow.

That would actually make me laugh. UNLV, of all programs, stealing 5 star 7 footers from us on back to back years. Do you have any links? I completely believe you, but I haven't seen it yet.GrantDuck wrote:Hearing rumblings about Bol Bol/UNLV....

Those Bol Bol-to-UNLV rumors were mainly just people thinking and worrying about him moving to Vegas and being burned by McCoy's recruitment.

He dropped USC and Arizona because of their shady practices. Very much doubt he goes to UNLV.

The 247 insiders are saying they're still confident that Bol comes to Oregon, fwiw.

Yeah, and Avery recruits well. And Yasir Rosemond (Duck player/coach) was recruiting him when at Georgia and when he switched to Bama. They were considered the favorite almost all summer.Diehardduckfan wrote:Who's Avery? Avery Johnson at Alabama?UOducksTK1 wrote:Really impressive to be stealing Richardson from Avery's backyard.
