    Looking at next year, our embarrassment of riches turns into a position of concern maybe? I am sure we can pull at least one decent back in this recruiting cycle. But looking at next year (Yes I will still enjoy this year) we are one Kenjon Injury from relying on two possible RS Freshman or at least one True SO and a RS Freshman.

    glad that tlongII's puke was cleaned up before I came in and saw the big news

    160 was his weight his Sr. season in HS. The Ducks did their weigh ins recently and a lot of guys listings changed. D'AT is up to 173. LaMike was 180 last year and came in 195 this. See the trend as guys get older? And they don't need him to be every down as they have a stable of capable backs including fellow 227 lb. frosh Tra Carson who broke LJ's HS records at the same school.

    the other possibility is that the other guys are pretty decent too.

    I don't click the clown's links because I don't want to validate his BS, care to summarize the drivel?

    hello Byron Marshall

    Basically he was just calling UO fans scum for being pissed at Lache for transferring. He's inferring that we think he sucks just because he wants to transfer.

    Basically:

    One minute - Seastrunk is god! He will make us a contender for sure!

    Next minute - Seastrunk sucks! He's terrible and good riddance!

    Thats a stupid way of thinking (not shooting you the messenger) sometimes 5* players arent cut out to be that, and it doesnt transfer over (no pun intended) Cam Colvin didnt start to really show any of his 5* Abilities until his senior year then he broke his foot 3 games into that season I think? Same game Jeremiah Johnson tore his ACL against WSU. Jemere Holland is another player whose God given talents didnt translate (though he wasnt 5*) As we've said, I wish Lache well and that he does well except when it affects the Ducks in any negative way :)

    Well, it screams of a straw man that Canzano has created to sell papers.

    exactly

    I would agree with JC that we do have some of the worst/dumbest fans in the country... specifically those who continue to pay attention to him. How hard is it to catch on to the same lazy sensationalistic tactics used ad nausea and applied to all of our local teams? Clicking his links validates the negative crap coverage pumped day after day into something (following sports) most of us do for fun in our freetime. Why would intelligent fans help ensure that we continue to have this sort of backbiting media culture by feeding the clown? He's laughing in distain at us all the way to the bank

    Well when you have LMJ for one more year, Barner for 2, and DAT coming in (who was apparently quite impressive and might have played over him anyway), I think you gotta look out for #1. This guy has all the talent in the world and should go somewhere where it can be used, instead of wasting it behind even more talented players on a team like Oregon.

    This is a problem that all top teams have, and it is really a nice problem to have. De'Anthony Thomas seems like he will be better.

    Wish Lache all the luck in the world.

    Lache is going to claim hardship due his grandmother's illness and ask the NCAA if he can play this year.

    he's a highly thought of HS senior RB who is visiting Eugene on Wednesday. He has scholarship offers from lots of top programs

    I wish him the best too. Blogger Scott Reed weighs in with an entirely different take then Moseley as to what motivated this transfer, but then he's talking to Lache & his family members and Moseley and other sources aren't.

    When asked if he had anything to say to Oregon fans, “I want to thank the fans that support me and understand why I have to leave. This whole thing is bigger than me. I love the coaches, my friends and teammates. I have nothing bad to say about them. I love Oregon and the University of Oregon. It's just that, my one grandma is sick and my Nana went through some tough times and needs me. It's just time for me to go back home.”
