Guest -AC- Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 Ah shoot, you would ask... Its hard to say after reading so much crap today! But I'm pretty sure it was on Scout some where... Ya, I just did a little checking... And it was a U-Dub fan talking about it on scout. Like I said it was just a rumor, and I was hoping somebody saw something on another site to some what confirm that its out there and not just someone making it up...

Guest RogueDuck Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 Haha Dux. If we are paying for recruits, who do we have to pay to get some DT's? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest RogueDuck Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 Here is the company that Lyeles worked for until he struck out on his own a year ago. The reason I post this is because he actually puts his clients on his home page. It looks like some of your schools are listed as clients who use his recruiting services. http://elitescoutingservices.com/clients/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Dux Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 $25,000-$30,000 for "info?" What kind of info were they trying to find for that amount? Don't be naive there Duck. I think the info that cost them that much was how can you get these kids to Oregon because we are tired of getting our assess kicked by SC. Dude, SC hasn't won a football game in this state since 2005 and that includes the Beavers as well. The recruits in question were like.....12.

Guest nakedmolerat Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 ...Nike and Oregon... Wait... Nike and oregon have a relationship? In all seriousness, let's take oregon out of the equation here, and drop in a team like, say, Illinois. Is this as big of a story? Nah. It probably won't go anywhere. I will gladly eat crow if I turn out to be wrong. And I mean gladly. And, I will go back for seconds and even thirds, because I have an appetite like that. This is blowing up because they had so much success the last few years, right around the time that chipster arrived and the elite recruits from all over the country started rolling in. Draw your own conclusions... Me, I say success begats success. If the rumor of Nike persuading SI to not run an article (which I have a hard time beleiveing since they surely have plenty of other advertisers waiting to fill pages) then I don't think SI would be quick to let that info out. There would be all kinds of NDA's signed because their credibility as a news source would be shot if just one of their many advertisers can persuade potentially huge stories with national interest from running in their publications. If they can persuade SI, an orginization I've never heard be called corrupt, how easily will they be able to persuade the NCAA, which I hear called corrupt nearly daily on this board alone. I will sit back and watch this unfold. I've vaccuum sealed a helping of crow for when that time comes. Perhaps. If oregon comes out unscathed from this, the arrogance will be on a whole other level at that point too. RAT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Bone Crusher Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 Let me throw in a firecracker here...ESPN.com did request information under Oregon's open records law which UO was forced to provide them with that information. Now this is in the middle of ongoing negogations with Fox Sports (will be re-named Root Sports in some Pac-12 cities especially Denver and SLC). Maybe Larry Scott has decided on Fox Sports and ESPN is just showing their displeasure...ESPN is dirty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The recruits in question were like.....12. And I know this makes you guys in Eugene feel great because beating SC is better than winning a championship or even a bowl game for that matter. Like UCLA, your season is made when you beat SC. As for this scandal/investigation/rumors about UO, it wouldn't be brought up if something wasn't right. Explain to me how UO had no Top 150 players signed in 2006, 1 in 2007, 1 in 2008, and then 5 in 2009 and 5 in 2010. Overnight success at it's finest.

Guest ERock Posted March 5, 2011 Share Posted March 5, 2011 Here's some other interesting information about DeAnthony Thomas. It sounds like he was questioned by the NCAA about UO and not USC. I don't know how credible this guy is but there's just too much stuff coming out. Also, watch the video in the article. It's Snoop Dogg's son talking about how he wants to go to Oregon.

Mamba I saw today that DT was asked about all the Oregon apparel he came back to L.A. with (estimated at $350) that appeared in photos at LAX with Snoop's son Cordell. In the photos he apparently had on custom Nike kicks, Oregon shirt and Oregon jacket. According to bylaws written by the NCAA regarding recruiting no recruit shall be provided free or discounted clothing, shoes/cleats, or equipment.
