Hey Guys, when does Hamani Stevens come back? Or is he?

[briarduck]

Hope he stayed in shape. Tukuatfu and Bair were only gone 2 years. Going to be a lot harder to come back after 3-4 years .

Am I missing something, it will only be 2 years when he returns...where did you hear 3-4? Thanks.

GO DUCKS!!

Briarduck, I believe he is counting this way - 2008 Redshirt
- 2009 played spring ball & missed season as he prepared to leave in November
- 2010 Missed
- 2011 missed returning in November
- 2012 spring ball return
I hope these facts and dates are correct. If so, He will have 4 to play 4
Somebody correct me if I'm wrong please.

You got it right. It's going to be awhile before he comes back. He will basically not have played a game in almost 5 years since his last HS game was in like November or December of 2007.

Holy crap I didn't realize...he's going to have to bust his ass to get back onto the field!

Lets hope like hell he being working out and is strong and still the size we need! In the good way...

Looking forward to his return.

GO DUCKS!! WTD!

If he comes back anywhere close to the man Brandon Bair apparently became on his mission (self described), I will be happy, because he WILL have a mature attitude and work ethic to take him to a whole other level. And with Hamani's natural gifts/genes, LOOK OUT.

That maturity is definitely a good thing when he comes back. Look at BYU and all their players who have come back from missions.

Hamani is in the Philipines on his mission. Originally he wanted to play after his RED shirt year..which would of been this year, but he wanted to complete his mission at the same time as his brother who's on his mission right now too. He's on a football scholarship @ Utah. But....Hamani IS going to be back at of U of O when he's done...and he's looking forward to it!

Polyduck obviously got this information straight from the source. Great to hear that Hamani will come back to Oregon! I saw Hamani at a tailgate before a game last year early in the year, but it must have been prior to his mission.
