Joe DuVall had a great Hoops Scoop article yesterday. So much information I can't paraphrase it.
1. OU still elated over the Bienemy commitment. Like him as much as Grimes.
2. Still pursuing Grimes ..... and Charles Smith from Houston area. Both 2 guards.
3. Pursuing 4 players from Canada. Offered 2 bigs from 2018 class, and 2 of them are in 2019 class.
4. Want an athletic big for last 2018 scholarship. Polla is the space eater to allow them to go after PF types. Joe gave 2 names in addition to the Canadians. Both from Texas.
5. Yes, MiKyle McIntosh did visit.... confirmed before Scoop was published. OU has a decent chance for him. Down to 2-3 schools. Tried to keep visit a secret for some reason, but news got around.
Great info, thanks. Man, that Duvall guy sounds like he really tears it up. Rivals had nothing like him when I subscribed...
I would highly recommend getting back in with rivals. They have added 2 great insiders to their staff in Joe Duvall and Eddie Radosevic. The other sites can't compete although I do still have my scout sub because I like Bob P a lot.
Can't blame him if he decides to begin his pro career with his degree in hand. He will be an UFA, imo, though. On the other hand, why not learn from one of the best in the business and get a year of your masters knocked out while you're at it? Also could potentially sky rocket his draft stock with a monster year in a premier hoops conference.

Oregon also has quite a history with Canadian players (McIntosh is also Canadian) so perhaps that matters. Today is the deadline to withdraw from the draft if a player wants to retain NCAA eligibility so we'll at least know today whether he intends to play college ball next year or not.
Anyone read about whether or not Oregon has officially offered him or if he's visited them? I did some searching online, but all I could find were tweets that Oregon/Altman had expressed interest and watched him somewhere. Apparently, Mcintosh has visited Oregon State though. I'd hope we'd be more a more attractive option than them.

According to an "insider report" this week on the Oregon 247 site (Duck Territory), Oregon is still interested in Illinois State graduate transfer MiKyle McIntosh.
According to the article, Oregon is working on setting up his visit date, and they believe it'll be this weekend or next.

So is the plan to just save our last scholarship?
It's old news, but I just saw Juiston went to UNLV. That's crazy, seeing as he could have played for just about any Big XII school. Turned down offers from OU, ISU, and KU.

Unfortianely Joe DuVall is no longer with Sooner Scoop, so basketball recruiting news will suffer.
They said it was a mutual parting of the ways..... big loss.
Not that I know of.

Wtf is that about? Someone recruit him here
Unfortunately, we couldn't pay him if he did. Reporters as good as Duvall don't work for free. You only get that from the regulars over here who spend their time on twitter, snooping on other web sites, or by having one ear tuned to a tin can with a string attached.
