T-Husker Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 Don't count UCLA out. With Zippy Neuheisel at the helm. Top 10-12 program though so probably not UCLA even tho Neuheisel is a little weasel. Man this is interesting stuff! Why would TCU fans be happy if it is Oregon? Based off of that evidence you would have to think Boise St. They are such a feel good story though that I have to admit I would be pretty disappointed by that. Also their recruiting classes aren't anything to write home about there. Their lists on rivals are littered with 2* and 3* players. I counted one 4* (Tyrone Crawford in 2010) in the last five years. What about Utah? 1 Quote Link to comment
MinnwiscowaSker Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 With TCU in the Big East, they could care less about with Boise. There isn't be a rivalry there. Gotta be someone in Texas. Can't see it being a Big East team. Cowherd didn't say top 55 programs. 10-12. Quote Link to comment

RockyMountainOySker Posted March 3, 2011 Author Share Posted March 3, 2011 IMO, no chance it is either Boise or TCU. It has to be a school that is bringing in high profile type kids. B and TCU aren't pulling in 4 and 5 star kids like the rest of the top 12 programs out there. I could easily see it being Tennessee or FSU...maybe Ole Miss or South Carolina. Pretty hard to speculate with what little info we have. Quote Link to comment

nowhereman Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 Sounds like it might be Oregon... Indeed, it appears you are right. Yahoo Sports once again breaks the story: http://rivals.yahoo.com/ncaa/football/news?slug=cr-oregon030311 The University of Oregon paid more than $28,000 to two men with ties to multiple recruits who signed letters of intent with the school, Yahoo! Sports has learned. According to State of Oregon expenditure records, the university paid $25,000 to Will Lyles of Complete Scouting Services in Houston, and $3,745 to Baron Flenory of New Level Athletics.

Wonder who in the coaching staff knew about this? Scott Frost might have been a little more flexible if he knew this was coming down. Quote Link to comment
nowhereman Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 Looks like ESPN is doing its own story simultaneously. The NCAA is already involved: NCAA officials are examining whether a Texas man helped steer high school football prospects to defending Pac-10 champion Oregon, and Ducks officials on Thursday told ESPN.com that the school paid the man $25,000 in the spring of 2010 for recruiting services. I hope this spurs the NCAA to hurry up and close the loophole that allows these street agents to operate. Recruiting was already a dirty business and this is getting to be over-the-top.

husker_hurdler Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 let me guess...there will be a loophole, the NCAA will do a little slap on the wrist, Oregon gets a black eye, and life goes on. I say ban the athletes and have Oregon lose some schollies! Quote Link to comment
C N Red Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 I've heard they are coming down hard on us. Yep, that's right, Nebraska. Apparently they will be sanctioning us for not cheating to get recruits. Quote Link to comment
RockyMountainOySker Posted March 4, 2011 Author Share Posted March 4, 2011 Twitter Link Oregon's top recruit, DeAnthony Thomas, who they nabbed from USC on signing day, tweeted that he met with the NCAA last night.

ADS Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 Via Twitter: @schadjoeJoe Schad Lyles has also been tied to players recruited to Auburn, Baylor, LSU, Oklahoma St, USC and Texas A&M From I could gather, Will Lyles is a street agent in Texas who has sent players all over the country. But, mainly to Oregon. Quote Link to comment
ADS Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 Via Twitter: @schadjoe Lache Seastrunk's Mom Evelyn said she didn't know Willie Lyles received $25,000 from Oregon Oregon really pooped the bed with this situation. Quote Link to comment
