WR Traeshon Holden arrested and dismissed from team
Oregon has dismissed transfer WR Traeshon Holden after he was arrested early this morning on charges of menacing, unlawful use of a weapon, and coercion. Looks like they're going to have to find another starter on the outside now.

Yikes, better now than later for us. And frankly, we are pretty set at slot with Hutson anyway, so not a huge loss.
Menacing and coercion with weapon is bad. Hopefully bad decisions like this wake him up.

Re: WR Traeshon Holden arrested and dismissed from team
I could see them trying Tez Johnson out there as well with Dickey, Kasper, Lowe, and Cozart. I also wouldn't be surprised if they went to the transfer portal for more depth after the spring.UOducksTK1 wrote:Yikes, better now that later for us.

Maybe it's me, but I don't see a need to fill this spot. Franklin, Hutson, Tez Johnson + Kasper, Dickey, Delgado and others seems like plenty of top end talent and depth.

Re: WR Traeshon Holden arrested and dismissed from team
Holden was going to play the other outside spot (Cota / Thornton spot).
So this is actually a big loss in that regard. Hutson and Tez are slot guys. Franklin the X, and Holden was going to be the Y.
Probably means we rely almost solely on Dickey now.

Re: WR Traeshon Holden arrested and dismissed from team
With how injuries always occur with WRs, those 6 plus Lowe and Cozart is really thin. Not to mention only having 3 scholarship TEs.StevensTechU wrote:Maybe it's me, but I don't see a need to fill this spot.

Reading more context of the situation, I wonder if the Ducks weren't 7 scholarships over the limit whether they would have waited for things to play out longer before deciding whether to cut ties.

I don't know STU. I've heard the rules are made pretty clear upfront with these guys and there's not a lot of leash given.StevensTechU wrote:Reading more context of the situation, I wonder if the Ducks weren't 7 scholarships over the limit whether they would have waited for things to play out longer before deciding whether to cut ties.
There's clear standards and theres no ambiguity. Also safe to say it was likely reviewed by university legal counsel before the final decision was made.
Guessing Dan got that dreaded middle of the night call and huddled with AD staff and the decision was made.

Yea, we don't have much history with Lanning to compare to. In the context of Belotti/Chip/Helf/Taggart/Cristobal, I'd say this was fairly quick reaction.

This is why a coach should wait until they move to kick a o player off the team.

Clarification- no one official is confirming this. The word used was 'cleared' , not charges were dropped.lmduck wrote:Word now surfacing that the charges have been dropped. No specific details.

Basically it sounds like formal charges won't be filed until the investigation is complete.lmduck wrote:Word now surfacing that the charges have been dropped. No specific details.

Wasn't Holden's big value was speed and blocking? The guys mention as replacements are not big bodies (other than the freshman) who seem willing and capable to block like Holden.
Better now than later, but what a shame.
