He also mentions he didnt know talking to UO fans on twitter was an NCAA violation. So someone slapped his wrist it sounds like. Hope all the people that talked to him and got him in trouble didnt sour his opinion on the Ducks.
It was probably a coach or school administrator who told him about the rules. If anything, all the Duck fans following him on Twitter should keep his opinion of Oregon very positive.

Just saying, wouldn't be surprised to see him in a slash-type role. Sorta like Hawkins was doing the first couple games.
It seems like the TZR concept is helping in recruiting since Kelly can show how these fast WR/QB/RB guys can get touches in his offense despite already having a bunch of QBs.

It worked for Percy Harvin in college and now in the NFL.

After I wrote it I said the same thing to to myself so I went and found it...

BTW it isn't so much as lazy but time, I have my three small kids I chase all day and unless you have kids its hard to explain, they keep me very busy. :)

Thanks and here's another video link.

Some great running moves and speed. I didn't see a lot of receiving in his video. I'm wondering how good his hands and route-running ability is.

His punt return technique is.... unorthodox.

Yeah. There was one where it looked like he was trying to pretend that the play was called dead, then he just took off.

The only thing that would be an NCAA violation would be trading Twitter followers for a commitment. Him wanting followers and talking to fans is not a violation, but for him to say "I'll sign a LOI if I get x amount of followers" would be a violation to a certain extent.

Has he been saying that on Educk?

Never mind, I just read every other recruiting thread where he has made that comment.

Who is the Hines guy?
Remember, remember, the Fifth of November, the Gunpowder Treason and Plot. I know of no reason why the Gunpowder Treason should ever be forgot... But what of the man? I know his name was Guy Fawkes and I know, in 1605, he attempted to blow up the Houses of Parliament. But who was he really? What was he like? We are told to remember the idea, not the man, because a man can fail. He can be caught, he can be killed and forgotten, but 400 years later, an idea can still change the world. I've witnessed first hand the power of ideas. I've seen people kill in the name of them, and die defending them. But you cannot kiss an idea; cannot touch it, or hold it. Ideas do not bleed, they do not feel pain, they do not love... And it is not an idea that I miss //////// Follow me one Tumblr/blog http://f***-kp.tumblr.com/

Just look at every other thread where his answer to any recruiting topic is, "he isn't coming. move on."

He's just our resident negative nancy.
