Maybe we should have signed this guy?

He looks like he could fit our system

He left "to be a police officer"..(maybe still his dream)...but also in a huff when Michael Gray got fired who he was very close
to..great recruiting job by Pflugrad to bring hime back to football (fired coaches club). and possibly would not have been welcomed back to UO after quitting as/why he did which is too bad because he was good

He attempted to come back to Oregon at the beginning of the season, but was denied at the door

I thought he wasn't let in because he let his grades slip when he made the decision to leave school. Does anyone else remember it that way??

Sounds familiar about the grades. I just can't remember for sure.

Pretty sure you're right, didn't qualify for readmission. My understanding is CK was willing to give him a second chance.

I met Tonio a few times while he was a student here. He's definitely a nice guy and was a pretty good player, but he's not the sharpest tool in the shed. I believe he had around a 2.0 in high school and from what friends of his told me, he really struggled academically while at Oregon. The academics at Montana shouldn't be too rigorous, so hopefully he'll make it through and obtain a degree.

I think CK did everything to help him out and he had decided he wanted to quite the team. If I remember right CK even offered to let him stay part of the team while he was trying to figure out what he wanted to do, and he told CK no thanks.

I also remember him saying about 7 mo.'s after he quit, it was the dumbest thing he ever did. I think he might be right.
