On Wednesday VJ Bailey committed to play for the Ducks and on Friday afternoon, Small Forward Abu Kigab chose Oregon over Illinois. The addition of both sets up the Oregon Ducks to hopefully continue their success following the 2016 season. Role players Tyler Dorsey and Dillon Brooks may take their talents to the NBA.
According to 247Sports, Abu Kigab is a three star Small Forward out of Napa, California. He is big at 6 foot 7 and 190 pounds. He also had offers from Cal, Baylor, Kansas, Ohio State and Virginia Tech to name a few.
