Eastern Washington quarterback Vernon Adams and junior college linebacker Jonah Moi are the last of 22 Oregon football recruits still to enroll at the university. Adams, a graduate, must pass a math class before he can enroll at Oregon for his final year of eligibility, but Mark Helfrich “doesn’t anticipate any issues.”
Helfrich said Oregon has not heard from the NCAA regarding its appeal of receiver Darren Carrington’s suspension. Carrington could miss at least the first half of Oregon’s 2016 regular season after failing a drug test and missing the national championship game last winter. A successful appeal would provide him “complete relief,” according to NCAA guidelines.
Five-star combo guard Jamal Murray will announce his college decision on Wednesday at 3 PM, his father Roger Murray reported Tuesday. He is choosing between Oregon and Kentucky, but Elgin Cook may have spilled the beans. “Welcoming our newest commit Jamal Murray into the Duck family,” Cook tweeted last week before deleting it.
The NBA Draft begins Thursday, and Joe Young is projected to be a second-round pick by many. Since transferring to Oregon from Houston, the 2015 Pac-12 Player of the Year has scored 1388 points, the most in a two-year stretch in program history.
ESPN four-star quarterback prospect and Nebraska commit Terry Wilson out of Del City High School in Oklahoma is planning a visit to Oregon in the third week of July. Wilson doesn’t mind that Oregon has already signed quarterback Seth Green to its 2016 recruiting class, and thinks “two quarterbacks in a class is a good thing.” The Opening finalist, Patrick O’Brien, has also committed to Nebraska.
Multi-sport phenom Liz Brenner will rejoin Oregon basketball for the 2015-16 season; in 49 games she’s averaged 6.2 points and 5.8 rebounds a game. Brenner just wrapped up her track and field season for the Ducks with a national championship.
