Any news on Hamani Stevens?

[karlhungis]

Is he still planning on sticking with his commitment to the ducks when he gets back from his mission? Is he even still on his mission?

[echo31]

Aren't missions 2 years long? It hasn't even been a year yet.

He was actually technically at Oregon, so it's not even a commitment anymore, he still has his contracted binded with UO.

I believe the NCAA allows a player returning from a mission to change schools without penalty.

When he returns he can go to another school if he chooses. Before he left he made comments that he had no intention of going any place other than Eugene.

[Hoagduck]

He could be absolutely tremendous for us at center starting in 2011. That will be the year after Jordan Holmes graduates, so having such a mentally and physically mature player stepping in will be great.

He just left within the last 2 months to the Philippines. He will be gone for 2 years. From everything I have heard he will be coming back to the Ducks.

If we don't start getting any DT's, Azz might lobby to have come back to the defense. If I remember correctly he really enjoyed playing on the defensive line this summer.

Hroniss Grasau is another D-lineman the Ducks recruited as a center. When (if) Stevens returns one of those players should be available. Assuming Grasau red shirts both would have four years eligibility.
