F/C Alex Oriakhi (transfer to Missouri)

I think UCLA, Kansas, or UK for Parker.

UD still getting that "big-time transfer" or will he still be a Buckeye next year.

I thought it looked favorable for Duke?

And if Oriakhi goes to Xavier I'll throw up. Now, if he wanders 40 minute down the interstate to UD, then I'd have nothing to complain about

Parents like Duke... He doesn't as much. Opposite with tOSU. He likes them, parents don't.

I think Oriakhi ends up at UK or Duke next year. Outside shot at UNC. I think he'll go bigger than Xavier.

We'll have to see what he decides. If he waits awhile, UD will be out of scholarships though...

Like in the end of Empire Strikes Back though, "There is another..."

Fair enough.

The championship is won with elite players. There are some elite recruits coming in. Do we have those elite players on our squad next year? That's my challenge.

Not always.

 

[Archg2h]

G Craft/Scott
G Smith/Thompson
F Thomas/Weatherspoon
F Ross/Ravenel
C Oriakhi/Williams

That is a title contending team.

WOW, Say What.......?

 

[MaxBuck]

Not always.

It would have been nice, Mike, if you could've somehow figured a way to have the yellow flow from the little guy in your avatar bypassing the ESPN logo and going directly onto the [censored]wit Five in the photo below.

Former Connecticut standout Oriakhi transferring to Missouri

By Gary Parrish | College Basketball Insider

Former Connecticut standout Alex Oriakhi told CBSSports.com on Friday that he has decided to transfer to Missouri.

"Obviously it's a simple fact that they don't have any big men, and I can play with a pass-first point guard," Oriakhi said. "I just felt comfortable."

Oriakhi started on UConn's 2011 national championship team but had his minutes and field goal attempts cut this past season because of the presence of one-and-done prospect Andre Drummond. Oriakhi's relationship with Mizzou point guard Phil Pressey was among the factors in his decision. The 6-foot-9 forward will be able to play for the Tigers immediately because UConn is banned from the 2013 NCAA tournament. He'll have one year of eligibility.

"This is my last stop," Oriakhi said. "It just seems perfect."
