Jamal Murray commits to UK over Oregon, Duke

They mention Michigan as the “half a horse” in a two and a half horse race.

No surprise from me, although apparently Oregon fans were sure they had him.

Not a big surprise… And his quotes about “working hard for one year before being the top pick in the draft next year” (paraphrasing) certainly wouldn’t really jive with the culture fit that Beilein is looking for.

Not surprising, although it will be interesting with Ulis and Briscoe already in the mix.

Shocking to no one. UK is basically a minor league affiliate at this point. You live in an amazing athletic dorm, don’t really have to go to classes, get treated like a rock star, and doubtlessly, other “incentives” are available to you. It is the perfect setup for guys that know they will be one and dones.
