"He is a counselor/mentor and knows Black Mamba. He doesn't follow recruiting but I told him about the rumors yesterday morning and asked if he could find out more from the horse's mouth himself. He pulled DT aside yesterday and asked him about the rumors. DT told him that it is a done deal. Oregon is going to get him the ball immediately in a Reggie Bush fashion and that is too hard to pass up. I was born, raised, and live in Pasadena, CA and work at Compton Centennial High School and always pull for the hometown teams, but make no mistake I am a die hard Florida State fan so I have no vested interest to lie. Sorry Trojan fans but the hometown legend is headed to Eugene. "

Part of me feels bad for Lake and Barner. But only a small part.

Well... there's no guarantee that DT will move ahead of them, but if he does... I think Lache transfers.

Well, if you believe that quote and the coaches keep their word... Would Lache really transfer? He would have to sit out a year. Why not just stay, get a couple carries a game next, and wait until LMJ declares?

There is no chance Thomas goes to UW, is there?

I mean there was no chance he'd be a duck a few days ago so I guess you can never be too sure. I don't think he's that dumb though.

Did you see the comment that was made in the chat in which that article is based upon?

He's not going to Washington.

Since Lache sent him a message on facebook saying "you, me and LJ, unstoppable," I don't think he will be to upset about DT coming to UO.

I can't help but connect the Nike Black Mamba shoes with this.

I just saw that commercial. Weird irony.

I imagine they will give him plenty of opportunities to compete for touches but I imagine that if he's not good enough to bypass the other backs he will see that he's going to have to wait his turn or move to another spot.

Still think he will stick to USC. id be happy to be wrong.
