Ducks Attack Message Board Forum

Otis "the pimp" Yelverton

Read near the bottom of the article, also interesting side note. I think he's related to Remene Alston and the former duck player King moved in with, entirely speculative at this point.

Hmm, that does sound dirty. Maybe in the end, we lose King and McCain but Cal gets sanctions?

there are about 3 threads of why we pulled King's offer. just read them.

why would Cal get sanctioned? for what exactly? geebus kids, think about this stuff. not everything is some sort of conspiracy.

Otis has ties to Oregon, and generally considered a friend of the program.. I seriously doubt HE is the reason the offer was pulled.

too strange. Most threads on this Board has thrown out multiple theories and guesses. No one knows but King and Duck staff. Doubt the truth ever comes out.

King did leave the Ducks staff hanging. Not sure who the DTs will be for this class.

there are a couple of people that supposedly know but won't say before signing day (i.e Jhop...). Don't know if this is BS or not

FWIW, I was speaking to a husky alum last night about this and he told me that one of the rumors swirling up there was that if King signed with Oregon, that Tedford was going to run to the NCAA crying foul play on this. Considering that Otis guy pretty much brokered Kings transfer to South Eugene, there might be something to it. Again, just a rumor.

Doesn't sound like something Jeff Tedford would do. Several years ago when Gary Campbell committed a major recruiting violation Tedford quietly advised Bellotti and allowed Oregon to self report. Probably saved Campbell's job and the Ducks a major investigation. Jeff Tedford was a class act while at Oregon and I don't think anything has changed during his time at Cal.

That rumor has been out there a long time and what does a Husky know .
Again, Oregon did their due diligence to make sure there would be no violations associated with King. It has to do with Chip and Gabe as to why the offer was pulled.

I think it sounds exactly like something Tedford would do. Recruiting is recruiting. It doesn't make Tedford a douche for threatening to report King. Desperate, maybe, but I don't think anyone would claim that Cal isn't in desperation mode these days after coming up short every single year.

The business of college recruiting has become very dirty with a lot of brokering and behind the scenes deals being made. Last year with Bryce Brown and now this year with a package deal and all kinds of things going on that can be speculated on but who knows what is really going on with the NC kids. The NCAA needs to do a better job of preventing this stuff from going on. The kids should just be allowed to pick a school that offers them the best opportunity for them not whether or not their agent, manager or what have you is being offered a deal, because you know this stuff goes on but it is hush hush. Things seem to have gotten almost out of hand the last few years.

Just out of curiosity what did Campbell do?

that rumor was cleared up 2 weeks ago. it's false. everything was cleared up and it had NOTHING to do w/ some dude named Otis.

JJ Arrington signed his LOI after midnight which made it worthless.
