A real scoop

Earlier this year Chamberlain Oguichi expressed his desire to transfer from the University of Oregon. Oguichi's situation is quite interesting for two reasons:

1) PT next season- He decided to transfer despite being virtually assured of a starting spot next season. Look at who Oregon had on the bench for gods sake. The intramural champions could probably beat Oregon's scrubs. Granted the scrubs would have the size advantage, but all they would have to do is stop the baseling reverse dunk of Schaefer and the size advantage would be neutralized.

2) At the end of the season Kent had gone to a 6 man rotation and it looked as if he would pull a Gene Hackman and declare his team was on the court rather than put Oguichi in the game. Given the way Oguichi was playing (bad dribbling, passing, defense, rebounding, and shooting) it is difficult to fault his decision.

I recently have learned however that Oguichi will in fact be returning to the Oregon Basketball team and won't transfer. He is currently practicing with the team and is still enrolled in school. Oregon did not fill his scholarship during the spring recruiting period and Kent is willing to welcome him back.

It remains to be seen however whether or not Oguichi returning is a good or bad thing for the team. Last year Oregon was (0-4) in Pac ten games where he shot more than 4 times and he generally looked lost on the court at all times. However Oguichi is experienced and is probably better than who ever else Oregon could run out on the court as a 6th man. Plus he will get Oregon free publicity when ESPN announces their "bad hair team".

Anyway, it feels good to have a real scoop and be sure to check back a lot since I just installed a webhit tracker. Just keep hitting refresh.
