Your Pac 10 news digest

I've been super busy this week, but there were lots of interesting moves in the Pac 10 over the last week.

Wazzou:
Lost two Sophomores who played a little. I don't think this will hurt them much.

Oregon:
Resigned Ernesto, lost Oguchi. Personally, I'm fine with both of these outcomes. Oguchi always seemed to have one really good game against us a year, and along with Jordan Kent was the most annoying player on their team for me. As for Ernesto, whatever. They had a good year last year, but looked like a much different team without Brooks. Kent stole recruit Drew Vinay from Cal, but he may have a bit of an attitude problem, given that he got himself kicked off of his high school basketball team.

Oregon State:
Oregon State implodes. 5 players leaving a team does not indicate the healthiest environment. Man, if we had only won that game at OSU we'd have made the NIT.

UCLA:
Affalo declares for the draft. This is his second time declaring, so he's done in college. Seems like a smart guy. I mean, why would you stick around for your senior year on a loaded team when you could be a second round pick whose stock is dropping? Somebody is giving him some bad advice. Whatevs, it's good for UW. No word yet on Collison or Josh Shipp.

Cal:
Harden declares. He was hurt last year, and wasn't much of a factor, but he's very good. He's not hiring an agent, and I think he'll probably be back next year.

Arizona:
Marcus Williams declares and will hire an agent. See ya!

USC:
Still waiting on two of their key players, Nick Young and Gabe Pruitt.
