Remember Dominique Easley? (Part Deux)

Easley has not been happy at florida, didn't even make the travel squad this week, and may be on his way out.

More proof this time.

hope he and his attitude stays away from Oregon.
we have team chemistry now and don't need him
here.

I'll believe it when I see it. And I agree, do we really want someone who is acting like Chris Harper?

[Howry]

The nice thing is, he would have to sit out a year which would allow him to either fit in as part of the team or go elsewhere if it didnt work out.

^what he said^

I'm gonna say yes on this one.

When Harper left, it sucked because of how talented he is, but it was tolerable because he wasn't irreplaceable. WRs are attainable.

Dominant DL w/ talent like Easley has, aren't so easily attainable. Add to that, our greatest need, w/out question, is DL help, and I'll say yes, absolutely I'd bring him on board.

1 young player can't ruin a lockerroom, so if he's got a bad attitude here as well we can always dismiss him from the team, but he's worth the gamble IMO.

Would rather not have him. Yes he is talented but this team is doing great without any players with a negative attitude. If Oregon plays in and wins a NC or at worse a Rose Bowl I can only imagine that the interest from not only this class to finish but future recruits will be huge. He had an opportunity to play for the Ducks and passed so I hope he stays at Florida or goes elsewhere. Good luck to him wherever he goes but I would rather not take the chance, though the coaches know better than I do so whatever they decide I will be fine with.

I still think he's gonna transfer to Penn St.

I still think he's gonna transfer to Penn St.

Most likely situation considering how close they are to home and they were really high on list out of high school. I personally wouldn't want him at Oregon anymore since his attitude seems to be a real problem and Oregon isn't going to help any type of homesickness for him.

Few thoughts: He's young, we can't say for certain why he's not fitting in beyond lack of PT. he could show up in Eugene and show off an entirely different side of himself.

UF hasn't had the most disciplined locker room so a lack of control inside could be a reason for this too.

In comparison to Marcus Davis who transferred from UT, why wouldn't the coaching staff accept his transfer if he requested one?

[Boom]

I believe coach Azz has a relationship with his family. I'm sure it's his call and whatever he chooses I'm OK with.

You really wouldn't want a 5* at our biggest position of need ? Because he isnt enjoying himself at UF ?

There's a little more to it than that. The kid has some obvious attitude problems.

Maybe, but remember his defensive coordinator announced his departure the day after Easley signed, although he obviously knew beforehand. Also Urban Meyer has taken sick leave, a leave of absence, come back, retired, and every other possibility in the past year or so. Maybe the kid is a bad apple, or maybe he just feels lied to and confused.

[ducklydoright]

Coach Azz has known Dominique and his family for a long time so I don't think we would have to worry about an attitude problem from him. It's easy to sit back and judge someone but we don't know what happened between Dominique and the UF coaching staff. All we know is that Easley realized he was not happy down there for whatever reason and he wanted to leave.
As for him coming to Oregon, I would love to have him because not only is he a beast but he is the prototype DL for the kind of defense we run and I truly believe that had he decided to play for us instead of Florida he would be getting a lot of PT right now.
