Re: Hadn't heard about this 2013 6'8" Juco guard
Duck Territory is reporting Oregon just offered a 2013 JC SF today so this guy could it or its someone else entirely.
Edit: It is Jones that just got the offer.

Hadn't heard about this 2013 6'8" Juco guard
I really think Austin showed signs that he could be a good player. It takes time for some to adjust to the step up in competition. Both he and Wood looked like they were too rushed in everything they did offensively. Austin will take a huge step up next year, mark my words.UOducksTK1 wrote:Agreed, the post position isn't too deep. And I'm not a big fan of Waverly, to be honest. Hopefully Felicio gets into UO, and can play some D/rebound right off the bat.buckmarkduck wrote:Two deep is looking promising with Artis, loyd at PG, Dotson and Abdil Bassit at 2, Cook at SF, Bell and Carter at PF. That said our inside still has a hole with Austin really being our only guaranteed option, would love to land one more player especially one who can play the 5 and 4.
Man looking at that list the big Brazilian is key to our team next year, it will be rough with just Austin at C. Get him in and at a JC player like Jones who can play all three spots from C to SF, and we could go 9 deep next year. Nothing helps youth and inexperience like depth.

I thought Austin was a better shot blocker than Woods too.

Re: Hadn't heard about this 2013 6'8
That's an interesting obvservation. My first reaction was to disagree but I thought about a little more & I actually think you're right. Statistically Austin is better, he had 29 blocks averaging 11 minutes a game while Woods had 40 averaging 21 minutes a game. And thinking back thru the season Austin had a lot more blocks on the guys he was guarding, I was surprised at his ability to keep his feet on the ground, stay straight up but get his hand on guys shot when they went up on him. In comparison almost every one of Tony Woods' blocks come from him helping weak side or swatting the shot of a smaller player who got by him. When guys went straight at him he either fouled or was scored on.Phenom wrote:I thought Austin was a better shot blocker than Woods too.
Austin looked really awkward out there at times but I think he has the ability to fill Woods' role pretty nicely. If anything he can be more solid than Woods was. He's not a scorer so we won't be forcing him the ball, he can put all his effort into blocking shots & rebounding.

That's what it comes down too. Austin just looked awkward, clumsy (which is pretty big statement, considering Woods could be a clumsy oaf too). His offensive game is so painful to watch. I definitely think he will be a better rebounder than Woods. He's also a good shotblocker, but I feel like he's pretty mistake prone.
I guess we'll have to wait 8 months until we can really judge, but those are my impressions from what I've seen so far.

Re: Hadn't heard about this 2013 6'8" Juco guard
Woods seemed to me to be more athletic.
But that being said they would have a good game
then go invisible for a few games. No consistency
from either. Games where we had a distinct advantage
inside we did not use that advantage. Would love to
see Oregon have a consistent big man that can score,
rebound and block shots. That would really help the
offense out with the speed we have.

How about luring Wally Judge away from Rutgers...

Re: Hadn't heard about this 2013 6'8" Juco guard
That is a full 13 right there, and 14 with the Jones/Gordon offer. I also think there is a roster limit of 15 players, regardless of the number of scholarships; is this correct? We have Baker, Luncenti, Armstead, and the Robinson twins on the team without rides. That puts Oregon at 19 total. If my math is right, that is a total of 4 players that will not be on the roster next fall.

Throw in the Robinson twins, Armstead, Lucenti, and Baker and you really got a full bench.

Re: Hadn't heard about this 2013 6'8" Juco guard
I think 15 is the limit for the entire roster so there's going to be a juggling act to fit everyone. With Moore transferring, that opens up a spot for Jones if he wants it. If he doesn't, then I could see Altman getting the Robinsons and one of the remaining 3 walk-ons, although I believe Armstead will decide not to play BB next year.northbeachsf wrote:That is a full 13 right there, and 14 with the Jones/Gordon offer.

Re: Hadn't heard about this 2013 6'8" Juco guard
So with Moore gone, we are now down to 18 assuming we get Jones. Three more to go to get to 15. I honestly don't think Armstead or Kuemper will leave. We only have a total of 5 post players (PF & C), and that is counting Carter, which is a stretch. There will be minutes for everyone at PF and C next year regardless of skill, which is a little scary. There are still 11 guards / wings + maybe Jones (also listed as a wing despite his height), so likely some subtraction there?

Probably down to getting a SR transfer or staying put with what they have to finish off this team. Recruiting was real weak this year.

Re: Hadn't heard about this 2013 6'8" Juco guard
If the Robinson twins were 100% committed to Basketball, I'd be much happier about this class. I think it's very difficult to gauge how much the will be able to play.greenyellow wrote:Probably down to getting a SR transfer or staying put with what they have to finish off this team.
