If he wants to be THE PG, then none of the schools on his list are ideal.

UConn has Gibbs and Adams.

Oregon has Ennis.

Plus, Oregon has Cook (13ppg) solidified as their small forward and incoming stud combo guard Tyler Dorsey solidified at the two spot.

In order to make room for Murray, Ennis or Dorsey - both spring commits who were brought in under the premise that they'd start in the backcourt - would have to move to the bench.

There are actually more playing-time impediments at Oregon then there are at UK.

I would usually view this as a good thing, but with Murray I don't know. The guy only has a Twitter because some dumbass was going around pretending to be him. He shows up on campuses for visits virtually unannounced. I still think we get him, but I have my concerns.

The schools know he's coming. It's not like he just shows up and is all "Hey guys I'm here for my free trip, show me around and stuff."

Yeah, I get that. He's not tweeting about it, his camp isn't calling reporters, etc. It's become pretty standard for a recruit to tweet that he's about to take a visit for the attention or whatever. Just saying Murray seems like someone who doesn't like attention.

In fairness, that's normal for most fan bases.

Aside from those guys waving Terrible Towels up in Pennsylvania, there's no fan base in sports like BBN.

Steeler Nation takes the cake, though. Those fans are true fanatics.

I suspect the reason he's going to visit Oregon is that he has come to like someone there. Life isn't only basketball.

There was a time in my life that that would would have argued that is all about the love of the game. God sent a man and found me on the side of the road and told me what God had for me.. Jesus changed everything.

I applaud you for testifying.

I need to do more of it.

Ignore the naysayers and keep up the good fight.

If they don't like it, they can put you on ignore.

Well this thread was totally hijacked but back to the topic I really hope the kid sees this is the best place for him if he wants a shot at being the top pick and a chance at a championship.

Vick will get garbage minutes until he his a junior. No different than Willis or Hawkins. Willis and Hawkins will provide some valuable experience for this year's team.

Sunshine pumpers giving Vick some magical Super powers.

U may want to do a little research on Vick, he is surging up the rankings right now according to some...

Even if you remove the hijacked portions of this thread we still have more posts about Murray's Oregon visit than the Oregon board.

Goes to show which fan base really cares about bball. I'd say most Oregon fans are concerned about one thing only and that's getting back to the title game in that other sport that starts up in a few months.

Ok willy....

Vick is better than a few UK players. You're a clown if you think otherwise

Oregon coast is beautiful. I was born in London Ky. I live near Eureka Ca now which is like saying you live in Florida but are actually in Jacksonville.

Serious minutes? Probably not, but he's a good player and will be in line to start his sophomore year likely. I can see him getting 10-15 minutes a game.

haha. That's gold. Vick is the next Hunter McClintock. "man oh man, that Vick is breakin' ankles over in Lawrence" Vick has now hit mythical status.

Ok, Backdoor. Vick reclassified from a 40-70 ranking. haha Guy wasn't even top 20 in either this year or next year. Vick opened the door for two and three star players to reclassify.

As for UK, who is Vick better than? Maybe Hawkins, but he doesn't have Hawkins experience. Mulder? Nope. He's not better than Mulder, Matthews, Briscoe, Ulis. So where's Vick getting the minutes at UK?

Silents, I agree. Plus, Cliff Alexander was top 10 and couldn't get good minutes. No way Self is giving Vick a reclassified 4 star, major minutes. 15 minutes? That's is laughable. There were games that Cliff wasn't even getting 15 minutes a game, but Vick will? laughable.

Oregon's arena (which has a built-in practice facility ... with all the Nike bells and whistles) is pretty amazing.

If anybody has nicer facilities than us, it's them (and maybe Duke).

Go immediately to KSR and read Murray's hilarious blog about his Oregon visit. DO NOT drink liquid while reading. He's a Cat.

I would think that we, as UK fans, would WANT these recruits to make all their visits and gather all info they need. We want these players sure they want to be here, not somewhere else. We want them to know what they are walking into, right?

I know we've had guys in the past who have probably realized it was a mistake to come to UK, and because of that didn't give all the effort they could have. No, if Murray, or any other recruit isn't sure, then we want them to take their time.

Well, yeah. If Lee can't get significant minutes this year, then he better hang it up. He's basically our only frontcourt sub unless Wills shows he can spell Poythress.
