The Ducks men's basketball program is starting to build a perennial top-15 program. It's nice to see them having more success in recruiting. This young man comes from a family with high-level former professional athletes. It seems like the program has begun a mini-trend of sorts, of having players whose parents were high-level professional athletes -- Joe Young (two seasons ago), Elgin Cook (last season), M.J. Cage (this season), Keith Smith (this season), and Victor Bailey (next season). 
Of course, it's never a sure thing that just because a player's parent(s) were high-level professional athletes that the player would also become that. But it is an indication that the Ducks men's basketball program is starting to be noticed by more top prospects and gaining a reputation for being a rising program. Of course, this stands in stark contrast to the the football program, seen by many as a program in decline, and such a negative perception can hamper recruiting efforts.
