Dillon Brooks and Tyler Dorsey are returning to Oregon. Huge news for them. Oregon will pretty solidly be a top 10 team again next season. Pac 12 will be really intriguing next year. Arizona/USC/UCLA should all be much improved.

I think I would peg Oregon as the early favorites to win the league.

USC's Nikola Jovanovic will remain in NBA Draft

Seriously? This guy ain't getting drafted

Really tough break for SC. Had Jovanovic and Jacobs come back to school, great chance USC is a top 10/15 team with definite FF potential. Still think SC will be good next year, just not great. May be another year headed for the 8/9 game.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

WHY IS THIS SHIT HAPPENING TO US NOW WE FINALLY WE GET GOOD

Oh well Jovanovic was very a talented, albeit, very frustrating, inconsistent and soft player.

The floor is yours, Chimezie Metu. This should be fun.

Yep. Sounds like he's going the overseas route. Heard it was academic issues. I'm really bummed because he was the player I was most excited to watch this upcoming season.

Seriously how academically challenged do you have to be to not qualify for Arizona? Smh...

 

[gordontrue]

WTF!?

Well that is really bad news.

 

[The Derski]

WTF!?

Well that is really bad news.

Confirmed. Ferguson is going overseas. He is going to tear up overseas ball and probably be a top 10 pick. It's depressing to say the least. At least we still have a top 10 class but he was going to be awesome.

Watched the Arizona mid night madness on Friday. They were celebrating the 96-97 national championship team. What an awesome atmosphere for basically a glorified practice. As I watching that I started understanding why Sean Miller is able to recruit the way he does. Zona has some of the best fans in the country.

The Red-Blue game sold out in May or June in like 1 day, maybe even less I think. Few fanbases are as rabid as ours, and none are starving for a Final Four the way we are. We got used to it in the 90s/early 2000 and this stretch with so many elite 8 heartbreaks has got to fucking end in the next couple years.

This season would be nice considering the final four is in Glendale.
