    as usual with other Ducks and kids who arent Ducks.. I wish him well in his future and hope that this decision is a good one for him and his family.

    That's too bad, but that's what I was worried about. Too many good players at that position.

    yeah we alluded to this with Ed O's questions on James coming back...some rumblings that Huff may be transferring as well

    there seems to be some fallout every year but RB is obviously a position where UO has some quality depth. Bummer for me on DW as he was one of my very favorite recruits from 2010 and I was really looking forward to seeing him play. Oh well... chatter seems to indicate he's got some family issues that have to be dealt with. Hopefully everything works out for the best for him

    Why would Huff leave? I would figure he's due some major PT.

    not sure, just passing along someone else's claimed insider knowledge/speculation... word is both he and Dontae took down their facebook page two days back. It wouldn't figure to have much of anything to do with PT. But if he were to go, WR is another spot where the Ducks are loaded with talent. Colt has decided at least initially to go out for WR so thats 5 guys from the last class alone

    It's pretty typical to lose 2-5 guys a year for a program. Grades, PT, homesick, not getting along with coaches, and of course off the field issues can all be a factor.

    Bummer, but... if we had to lose a young guy, isn't he probably the best? I'd prefer Seastrunk to him.

    Good luck to him wherever he ends up.

    hard to say. There were whispers of Seastrunk having a hard time with the playbook. And Glowing reports about Williams. This year I def think Williams would have done more as we could def use a Thunder Back to loosen up the middle. And would have been really nice in the Natty. After next year though with LMJ probably gone, I think Seastrunk will be HUGE IMO. So I guess in all my ramblings... in the short term Williams leaving hurts more than Seastrunk leaving. But Long term Seastrunk would/should produce more.

    I'm actually not too worried about Seastrunk.. I dont think he'll be a Cam Colvin. The dude will produce in this system.
