10:07 AM ET 07.24 | Tony Woods, a top-50 high school player whose Wake Forest career went awry after two seasons because of legal problems, has signed to play at Oregon and will be eligible immediately. Woods, a 6-11 center from Rome, Ga., averaged only 4.6 points and 3.2 rebounds as a sophomore at Wake Forest but was dismissed by coach Jeff Bzdelik last October because of a domestic assault incident. Oregon coach Dana Altman said he consulted with all of Woods' former coaches and "all of 'em highly recommended him" and said he deserved a second chance.

I'm surprised he didn't just transfer to an SEC school. The only records they care about in the SEC are won loss records.

Between this kid and the Oregon football program, it may not be long before UO has more bail bondsmen in the athletic department than coaches.
