LA to Oregon move
nice change for guard
few nights ago. Kenva Wilkins doc kind to go for a walk. At
night. By himself.
JL JL No big deal to many After all, this is only Eugeni*. But
for Wilkins, a freshman on the Oregon men's basketball team, it was
not only a big deal. It was a refreshing one.
"It mov sound weird." Wilkins said, "hut I took a walk one night,
and it was different. It's nice to walk at night and feel safe."
Wilkins (ame to Oregon from a rough and dangerous neighborhood
J5 miles north of Inglewood in I.os Angeles: an area infested with
negative influences from gangs, drugs and violence.
DaveCharbonseai
In fad, he experienced the gang
life firsthand from his older broth
er. Raymond, who is a member of
a gang. Rut Wilkins said that by
hanging out with the "jocks," and
with a little intimidation from his
brother, joining a gang was never
really an option.
“The gang-bangers hung out
together and the jocks hung out
together," he said. "My brother
never wanted me to be in a gang.
Even III wanted to he in one, he
wouldn't let me. Because my brother was in a gang. 1 knew a lot of
the guvs and my brother protected me while I was growing up. When
1 was young. I used to say that if anyone killed my brother, I'd get 'em,
but now I realize that's pndtv stupid.”
Wilkins said he was safe within his own neighborhood, but if he
journeyed two blocks away from his house. "I could get in some trou
ble."
Instead of experiencing the gang life. Wilkins worked on becom
ing one of the most talented players in the Los Angeles area during
his time at Dorsey High School. As a senior, the 5-foot-10 point guard
averaged 17 points and five assists a game while playing for one of
the top high schools in the city.
When it iame time for him to make a decision on where he would
continue his basketball career, one of his priorities in making the
choice was to go somewhere where feur and watching his I Mick would
take a backseat to just playing basketball.
Eventually, Wilkins said, he realized Eugene was where he want
ed to be.
"It was like a family awav from a family here." Wilkins said. "I
hadn't done a lot of traveling, so I wanted to go somewhere I would
feel comfortable It was important to my mom and I that I went some
where where I'd bo safe Coach (Bobby) Braswell and coach ()errv)
Green convinced us that I’d be safe here."
Braswell, Oregon's top assistant coach, coached high school bas
ketball in I.os Angeles and realizes that it's important to players
like Wilkins to be in a safe environment, and although he is aware of
that fact, he tries not to make it a big issue in the recruiting process.
"I've always taken the stance that you don’t realize the situation
players in the inner-city are in unless you're living there," Braswell
said "I try not to make (safety) a big issue in recruiting, but 1 know
that's a big interest of some players. Many players from Los Ange
les stay there and go to lISC or UCLA, but it is attractive to some to
go to a good school with a safe environment.”
As one of six new faces for Oregon this season. Wilkins has In-on
the most talked about. l-ast year, the Ducks' glaring weak spot was
at tin- point guard position, so when recruiting time came along,
the Oregon coaches put finding a quality point guard on the top of
their list
Although head coach Jerry Green hasn't committed to a starting
lineup this early into practices, it looks as if Wilkins could lie the
starting point guard for the Ducks this season, which seems just
fine with his teammates, who are already comparing him to anoth
er former Oregon point guard.
"I see a lot of Terrell Brandon in Kenya," Oregon junior guard Orlan
do Williams said. "During pick-up games, he's shown that he's a great
passer and very quick. 1 see him getting a lot of playing time in this
system."
Wilkins, however, is not so much worried about starting or not, but
rather turning around the Oregon basketball program.
Wilkins just wants a chance to take the court at McArthur Court,
a place he's heard can get pretty wild.
"I hear this place gets loud and shakin'," he said, "To me. that’s
what college liasketball is all about."
And being able to safely walk from his room in the University
Inn to The Bit by himself is an added incentive.
