Adam Zagoria covers basketball at all levels. He is the author of two books and an award-winning journalist whose articles have appeared in ESPN The Magazine, SLAM, Sheridan Hoops, Sports Illustrated, Basketball Times and in newspapers nationwide.
Oregon has landed Villanova transfer Dylan Ennis.
The 6-foot-2 Ennis also considered Baylor and Illinois. He visited all three schools last week.
“I think Oregon was leading a little bit and today [I decided],” he said by phone. “I felt concretely that that’s where I want to be.
“On the visit, I went and saw their playing style, I talked to the coaches, talked to the players and it was the best fit fit for me as far as being a basketball player but also going into my last year and focusing on what I need to get done to make it to the next level.”
Ennis, 23, averaged 9.9 points and 3.5 assists last season at Villanova.
Oregon also adds point guard Kendall Small and shooting guard Tyler Dorsey but Ennis will have the most experience of the group.
“[Coach Dana Altman] said his point guard is like the head of the snake, can get everybody involved, score when he needs to and still rebounds so I hope to do that,” he said.
“He’s looking for an opportunity to be in control of a team, come off some ball screens, be the primary ball-handler where he’s able to be that engine that drives,” his father, Tony McIntyre, recently told SNY.tv.
