Nike $$$?  Yes, that makes sense.

Dana Altman's pedigree?  Makes far less sense.  He's had a perfectly fine career but how many Top 10 players has he ever landed?  Plenty of programs I'd put  in front of Oregon if we're basing this on some form of ability to commensurate program success scale.

But yes, there is that Nike $$.  Makes perfect sense.

A Final 4, An Elite 8, 5 Sweet 16 trips since 2013.  Pretty darn good for Altman at Oregon.

Oregon had not been to a Final 4 since the first ever NCAA tourney in the 1930s

Highlights from IMG's OT loss at St. John's College HS last night.  Jacoi (#4 in Blue) had 16 points.  We have an offer out to #1 from SJCHS, Daquan Davis (18 points).

📝La Porte Invitational Notes

2023 G Jacoi Hutchinson had an efficient 16 Pts (8-12 FG) & 5 Ast.

The George Washington commit is an ultra-quick athlete whose a productive two-way guard. An instinctive on-ball defender & explosive playmaker.

Jacoi and IMG will be on ESPNU today (1/16) @ 5pm vs. AZ Compass to close out the Hoophall Classic.

I would like to add that playing IMG's schedule is very much like playing in a college environment in term of talent level and travel. This will better prepare him to play from day one than a traditional HS recruit. His opponents and teammates are loaded with high major D1 recruits. I'll add that this is also true with Christian Jones who plays in the Overtime Elite league that has a high level of talent including post grad players who will be in the upcoming NBA draft. I think this is a huge plus in terms of them being able to produce right away.
