That might be the case and Hamani wants to play with him, but I don't think he said he would come back to Oregon and then renege on that within a week. He sounds like he has more class than that.

JHOP's implying that it is the UO who would turn him down, not the other way around.

The only way I see Oregon turning him down is if they don't feel he's in their plans anymore due to them recruiting players to replace him when he left for his mission or they don't have room anymore.

I don't see how he wouldn't qualify since he already went to Oregon for a year.

I heard some football players that shall remain nameless make fun of how dumb Hamani Stevens was while he was here. So it is possible..

But did that have to deal with his schoolwork or the off-the-field stuff he did? If it's his grades, that could very well be the hang-up with the coaches.

I'm not positive what the implication was. They joked that he was so stupid that he could not pass his baseline test for concussions lol

I highly doubt that. According to scout, Stevens had a 3.3 GPA and had an SAT score of 1150. That's a pretty solid SAT score for an athlete.

Which could probably mean he's booksmart but lacks some common sense in normal life, which is not the worst thing in the world.

Boy, if O did that to a return LDS missionary after they agreed, during the recruiting process -which they did, that he could go on a mission and they would honor his scholly, they could kiss any chance at future Ricky's, Haloti's, and Hamani's of the world good-bye. There must be something else afoot if anything.

hamani will be back and his brother has been helping him get in football shape. says he hasn't lost any of his strength, but he has gained 20 lbs since he left on his mission. he will be back in eugene to practice with the team at the end of summer.

here is a link on the 'riley nelson rule' http://www.deseretnews.com/article/7053 ... books.html
it is the rule that stops byu from recruiting missionaries now.

He didn't just leave to go on his mission there was more to it and that's why the coaches aren't sure. Same thing I've said since he left, and defiantly has nothing to do with the fact he chose to do his mission, our coaches are a 100% behind a kid that chooses to go on a mission.

Good to hear - kinda. I like that the coaches are honoring, but bummed if Hamani did something off that ruins his return. Hope it works out for both parties - really hope!
