Ducks Attack Message Board Forum

Bell is also a very good passer which cannot be overlooked. I think he leaves, unfortunately.

247 CB system has 60% of the predictions pointing to Oregon and the biggest competition for McCoy is considered to be Mich. St.

McCoy should be down to Oregon and Michigan St. Arizona signed the best center (DeAndre Ayton) in the country this year so McCoy is probably not considering them.

Does Keith Smith have a friend (maybe high school team mate) who is looking at Oregon? I thought I read Gonzaga, us and maybe UW?

McCoy is not going to Arizona. They got the best center and another top 50 PF/C (Ira Lee I think his name is). It's down to us and Sparty.

He would be a perfect replacement for Bouche. They find room for him. Sorkin??

It's hard to imagine that there is not at least one early depature between Brooks, Bell and possibly Dorsey (though he hasn't had a consistent performance this year). Any one of those leave and a spot is available. If nobody leaves then someone will have to go and Sorkin would be the likely candidate. Did Altman revoke players' scholarships at Creighton to make room for a better player?

Of those three guys, I hope Bell stays one more year. Impacts the game so much.

I think Bell is the most valuable player on our team but I would rather have Brooks back.

Going into next season with KBW and Sorkin as our two big guys with experience wouldnt be good IMO. I really hope all 3 stay, would be epic.

I don't really have a grasp on college ball and who should go vs who should stay. From my untrained eye, Brooks looks great against college players but I don't see him being very successful at the next level. Am I way off base? Is he projected to be a high draft pick / solid contributor at the next level?

Last I saw Brooks was projected as the 48th pick. So no he's not considered a great NBA prospect.

Do players typically leave early for a shot to be the 48th pick?

He might, since his limitations are mostly physical not skill. If I were him, I'd leave after this year if I felt I performed well. Not much else for him to do in college if he plays well down the stretch.

As much as i am a fan of Brooks and his game, I think he's our Miles Simon or O'Bannon. A great college player, who never does much in the NBA.

Yeah, I agree. I think Dorsey is the same. Bell has some NBA potential. Boucher does too, but his frame is going to hold him back.
