The Micah Downs sweepstakes

Following the departure of Micah Downs from Kansas for "personal reasons", I'm sure the Pacific Northwest teams are officially and unofficially wanting to get him. Gonzaga may have the easiest sell of all: "You, Mr Micah Downs, can be the next Adam Morrison!". Hard to say no to that. Assuming Mark Few wants him, and why wouldn't he? The Zags recently picked up BYU transfer David Burgess and it is a lot easier on the players where there's two of them sitting out instead of one (Apparently transferring runs in the Burgess family as his older brother transfered from Duke).

Others who could/should be interested in Micah Downs are Washington. Washington State will be harder sell, and probably Oregon since Ernie Kent may not be there by the time he gets eligible. The other Pac10 schools may jump in as well, but he will probably end up at either Gonzaga or Washington - unless they don't want him.
