Maybe that is the point. The more I think about it, the more I think he wanted to be the one to stand out and get noticed. You can definitely do that if you are the best one on your team or the only one on your team. Best of luck for him but this makes me feel like...Wow!!
This is a surprise for sure. If he wants to be a one and done why to UNLV? Not a ton of talent around him at this point.
He was such a great fit for the Ducks. Doesn't make sense.

If we are being honest. He would've been a great fit at any school. But let's not pretend that we run our offense through the center here at Oregon. Guards and wings get much more play in Dana's offense. It's a business decision and he made one that will benefit him long term.
Nah.... dirty. Has that univ of Mississippi football smell to it.

You've been on this board since 2002. Please tell me you aren't going to stick with the "dirty" angle? Recruiting is dirty. You should expect it, not be surprised.
I am going to stick with it and I probably shouldn't be surprised that this stuff continues to happen. Unlv (14 wins last year in a crap conference) over MSu, Arizona and Oregon. Yeah, I'm sure nothing shady happened. ..
Could it be a "qualifying issue?" Are Oregon's admission standards higher than UNLV's?
He chose to not attend and participate in a well developed program b/c he turned them all down. AZ, OR, Mich St. Something did feel odd about this one. We'll see in time.Big men make big plays. McCoy fit the Oregon scheme like a glove. He's as athletic as Bell with a better mid and long range jumpshot. He's strong with the ball and has exceptional footwork. He can back in on the low block or face the hoop and make a move off the dribble. His versatility is exactly why I feel he would have done better at Oregon. Altman would have made him a better player but, if I had to guess, I would guess Altman wanted at least two years.
But, if someone doesn't want to be here, it is best they go somewhere else.

And his families.
I agree. Something smells rotten here.He got paid. Menzies over Altman? Mountain West over PAC12 powerhouse? Something isn't right with this picture.
Cool...so they were awesome when basketball shorts were actually short. Cool.UNLV was great back in the day with Tark the Shark
Sincerely doubt it.Could it be a "qualifying issue?" Are Oregon's admission standards higher than UNLV's?
Question for those who are posting about payoffs....what do you guys say when fans of other schools say the same about our Ducks?
I know nothing factual about anyone's case, I just thinks it's interesting to see us make those claims after having to deal with it ourselves.
There is a difference here dude. If Oregon was basically a middle of the pack team in a shit conference and this happened in Oregon's favor, you better believe many would think money changed hands.Question for those who are posting about payoffs....what do you guys say when fans of other schools say the same about our Ducks?

This surprises and disappoints me but I have no idea what was the basis for his decision. His priority is clearly not playing at the highest level week in and week out in college and not just because he didn't pick Oregon. He didn't pick a lot of schools that play in tough conferences. Hopefully he enjoys his year in Vegas and best of luck to him.
Now? Eugene. When I was a kid? Eugene (never really liked Vegas outside of a couple of days). But I see your point.I think AJ hit this one on the head, even if that wasn't his point. The kid's a "one and done." He doesn't care about a college career, but if he's gotta spend a year somewhere, damn of it ain't gonna be Sin City, where he'll be fawned over by all manner of high rollers and their entourages.
If you didn't care about your job but had to spend a year living somewhere just as a holding pen, would you choose Eugene, Tucson, East Lansing, or Vegas?
