ā€œOregon is the Nike school with the headquarters two hours away and founder Phil Knight as the most famous alumnus, providing Nike’s latest gear for all student-athletes. Right now, Oregon coach Dana Altman has commitments from four-star wing Mookie Cook (who actually plays LeBron James in an upcoming movie), guard Jackson Shelstad and five-star K.J. Evans.

ā€˜[Bronny] told me he likes Oregon, and I want him to visit there,’ Evans told Yahoo Sports. ā€˜Everyone that’s coming in is unselfish. We all cut, move and don’t hold the ball too long, so it’s going to benefit him. Bronny can be more of a playmaker and a shot creator, and I think we would play really well together.'ā€
