But, Oregonians are pretty open minded.

What will come first, if ever:

1. DGs offer for a significant role with a Power 5 conference team, or

2. The Deflategate report.

^ Well the deflategate report beat out DG's decision.

Wonder what the final verdict will be. Now that graduation is over, I'd assume it will come soon.

Based on his social media activity he is still focused on promoting the Derrick Gordon brand.

But he is still having delusions about being drafted based on this quote he made on May 11th.

"Everyone is waiting to see if I get drafted," said Derrick Gordon, who came out last year after finishing his junior basketball season with the University of Massachusetts. "It's a lot of pressure, but I don't let it get to me," he said.

It sure seems like the people advising him are really..really doing him a disservice.

Where are you seeing this? I can't find anything like this on his Twitter.

I know he had some schools show interest, but has he actually received an offer yet? It would have to be a school that already has good outside shooting and is looking for defense and rebounding from a 2 guard.

He's talking about "The League," and here I have been thinking since he announced that finding a decent D1 team that would offer for one year would be difficult.
"Jack didn’t have any envy in him," Calipari said. "He was the greatest coach to ever coach here."

Derrick needs to be able to shoot the three before he could even think of playing pro. Well done on improving his foul shots,but got to be a shooter if not a point guard.
