Colt Leyerla visiting USC next week?

[briarduck]

Yikes, if true maybe we don't want this guy. Sounds like Videl Burfict (sp?) of ASU dude might cost us a game or two if he can't control himself!

The above comments are ridiculous/unacceptable behavior if true!

Went to the Hillsboro/West Salem game Friday, this being the 4th time I've seen Lyerla play. I still haven't figured out if he's the type of player who toes the line of physical/aggressive nature and his teammates will love him for it, or if he's just a total douche. Anyone in the Hill-Hi area who has seen him more then myself have an opinion on this? I've seen him throw punches, take quarterbacks down by the facemask and stand over them holding his junk, and throw comically late hits out of bounds. I'm not saying OregonLive is the source for anything substantial, but every few weeks you see parents of teams coming on and wondering what the heck is going in-between his ears, too.

If he does that stuff with Chip, he'll be sitting on the bench.

+1
yep... Chip wont stand for that crap. So he better grow up now.

If he does that type of stuff, Chip and the other coaches will be on him so fast. He'll either change his ways to conform or he'll be out of here.

I don't want him, straight up. Too many stories about his off field attitude involving drugs/fights. I don't care how talented he is, I don't want him on our team and he wouldn't see the light of day as long as Chip's HC

I think that you may be a bit harsh on the kid. I understand your point and it is valid but I think that some of this can be attributed to the fact that he is in our back yard. I would bet that he isn't the first recruit that we've ever looked at with "off field issues." We just get to hear more of the rumors since he is local. I trust the coaches and if they think they can control a kid then I'm all for it. If they think he is too much of a headache, then I am fine with that as well.

"Drugs"? If by drugs, you mean pot, then you might not wanna root for Oregon anymore.

[Destroyer77]

Wow... another thread about Colt and his supposed problems. All I can say is that I watched him play and I never saw him do any of those things. He might appear "overly aggressive" because he's flat out twice as good and bigger every other player on the field.

Yeah if you dont like players who smoke weed and get into fights, well I dont known what team you could root for. Maybe BYU ?

[HomeFieldAdvantage]

And then there was this...

RT @jimbeseda: Colt Lyerla said Oregon, USC top current short list. "I wouldn't want to put one in front of the other." http://bit.ly/dZ55S9

And my response to that is... Colt Lyerla doesn't need to, the polls do that for him.

[karlhungis]

I saw another tweet that there is a rumor that he is a silent to USC. It will be interesting to see where he ends up.

Don't think he'd be a silent to Usc and then spend the next weekend at UO. )

Or by drugs I mean cocaine and by fights I mean gang related stuff. No worries tho.

Don't know about gang related stuff, but I definitely know of players on the football team who love blow...
