Does anyone on our board have inside data on Colt L?

It seems to me that high schools and colleges need to start testing and try to stop the athletes from using while they are still young. If Lyerla is indeed using, where are his parents in all of this? Surely they can't sondone this behavior?

Well to his defense, he lives in Hillsboro, that place is one of the more ghetto areas west of Portland. But I think testing certainly for college athletes is going to have to happen. I don't like seeing college players taking steroids without any consequences.

If he is "on the drugs" I would hope CK doesn't take him because we don't need that type of athlete at the "O" infecting our locker room!

But so far these are just rumors (YES/NO) and we shouldn't be spreading them...let the coaches handle it!

Lets hope its not true and he wants to be a DUCK and signs on LOI Day!

GO DUCKS!!

Speaking of Lyerla...

“I’m wide open right now,” Lyerla said. “I will go anywhere; distance won’t be a factor at all. I haven't narrowed my list down yet. I may do that in the next couple of months.”

And WOW:

Oregon will be a final team, I just hope some big name team doesn't come in and snag him from us. I still like our chances.

That would put the box at about the height of my chin... What can Lyerla do with a running start?

[Tray Dub]

Damn... That video doesn't exactly undercut the steroid talk, but I could take all the PEDs in the world and still look like an idiot if I tried that.

[RHDuck]

Wow that box jump is very impressive.

Colt is the #3 ranked player in the country according to that video... Is that right?

Scout has him as the #3 rated DE in the country so I think that's what he's using.

[hendrg]

Impressive. Don't like that article talking about him liking Wilcox at Tennessee. Both because I'd love to have Wilcox as our DC and we'll have to play them again soon!

I'm sure NO ONE here EVER did anything in H.S. that was stupid, or that they regretted later in life. Cheating is Cheating. It's wrong and EVERY EFFORT should be made to punish those who CHEAT. Everyone needs to get off the soapbox for a minute or two and do some reflecting on one's own life as a 15-17 yr old...

...not steroids, there is a bit of a difference.

It's pretty slanderous accusing some 17-18 year old kid of taking steroids.

Actually I guess it would be libelous since it's in written form, but you get the idea.

I agree. However, this is the internet where slander and libel is normal and accepted. I wish it weren't so, but the internet is the sole reason that Canzano is allowed to remain paid for it.

It's only libelous if the person is being not just wrong but also negligent. It isn't libelous to make an accusation if it's true, or if you have good reason to make that accusation. This might be libelous, but not necessarily.

What's the story on the twitter chatter about Lyerla looking to leave the state?

Can anyone clarify?

The Ducks NEED this kid.

Mops and TonyD were saying on Twitter that he may have some off-field issues that will probably make him want (or forced) to go out of state. TonyD was saying USC and Miami are the leaders if true.
