It never rains at Autzen Stadium.....just everywhere else around the program :roll:

This is a real bummer he is a stud who I think had the potential to be the best CB in this class. Hopefully he can just miss a few games and still get on campus.

Ya I agree, He looks like a stud. I was looking forward to him and Harris locking down the sidelines. I guess it is still posssible that he gets in.

Now it all comes down to what the 'Compliance Dept.' works out with the NCAA, I guess.

Sort of like a dollop of Morton's Salt in the wounds, eh?

I'm surprised that he didn't mention that to the coaches when they were recruiting him. Makes you wonder if the coaches got a little sloppy here. If he doesn't get in, just means another scholarship is possibly up for grabs in the next recruiting class. We are down to about 79 scholarship players who could play this coming season after you factor Holland's dismissal, the transfers, and Alonso's suspension. Hopefully the situation works out for all involved parties.

Sorta makes you wonder if other schools knew something the Ducks were unaware of?

Yeah, and Kelly is a trust guy, and if Hill didn't let the coaches know then I don't know if Hill ever gets to Oregon. Hill is a great DB, and we could use him. But we are pretty loaded in this class with DBs, so whatever happens it won't be a huge blow.

I highly doubt that they'd take away his entire eligability. This would be more like the guys who go to prep school for a year after HS then enroll. At most, I think he may lose one year of eligibility.

If you read the comments on the article the second poster says that while he was in high school for 5 years he only played sports for four. If he repeated his freshman year but only played for 4 years its very possible that he and his coaches didn't know it was a violation and if so he would have no reason to have reported it

Why is this even an issue?

Is there a NCAA rule saying you cant be in high school for 5 years?

If there is then that would be extremely petty and does nothing but hurt high school kids chance for athletic schollys.

I think it's a CA rule, as well as OR. In OR, you can't play sports if you've completed 4 years worth of school terms and/or are 19 before the start of a school year.
