PrintYou know how most lawyers will tell you to STFU? Yeah, Will Lyles is not really following that so well. And that's just fine with me.
- Lyles is doing his best to lose all credibility. Yesterday, he talked yet again, this time to John Canzano for a full hour. I haven't had a chance to listen to the full interview yet, but Matt Prehm tweeted much of the interview. The more Lyles talks, the more that he loses credibility. While I do not doubt the facts of his stories, those have not become the center of this story. It's become "Oregon threw Lyles under the bus," because they adhered to FOIA requests. Or, "Oregon scrambled to cover their tracks," despite any actual evidence to back that up. This guy loses credibility by the minute, and no Duck fan should take his opinions seriously.
- A couple podcasts for your listening pleasure this morning. Charles Robinson of Yahoo met with Colin Cowherd to discuss Oregon's vague possible rule-breaking. Also, Barron Flenory, who runs New Level Athletics and was friends with Chip Kelly, was on the Solid Verbal.
- If Oregon gets significantly hit by sanctions, this episode will go down as the most pathetic attempt at cheating in NCAA history. Andy Staples has some advice for wannabe cheaters. Hint: always pay cash. Always.
- Will Oregon face a recruiting hit from the Lyles allegations? I doubt it, but we'll have to wait until signing day to find out.
- The Big Lead has a reasonable take on the current Lyles situation. While just about every opinion writer out there is wondering how Kelly will survive his "cover up," this is one of the first pieces I've seen that realizes we do not know what Chip Kelly told the NCAA. In contrast, Matt Hinton gives us pure speculation. I miss SMQ.
- Congrats to Nate Costa, the newest member of Springfield's finest.
- Hey, how about actually talking a little football? Mocking The Draft takes a look at Cliff Harris, who has questions about whether or not his game will translate to the NFL. But despite his possible downsides, he'll likely go in the first round based on his pure talent as a cover corner.
- Avinash from Cal Golden Blogs has taken a really in-depth look at last years meeting between the Bears and the Ducks. He takes a look at Cal's defensive gameplan, which was very successfully planned and executed.
I'm sure everyone can't wait to speculate about Lyles and Oregon, so do that in the comments! GO DUCKS!

Just the two cents of a pessimistic bama fan
Just my opinion, as a “we’ve gotten nailed by the NCAA way too often” Bama-fan, but ya sound a little overoptimistic on the Recruitment Service Situation. I read alot of similar comments on Ohio State’s site before they got hit. The NCAA often sides w/ shady informants (look at USC basketball program, Alabama’s Means) and tends to apply Occham’s Razor. Based on the facts which is more likely 1) Chip Kelly was clueless AND stupid and paid a gjy 25 grand for awful information, which he at NO TIME tried to chastise or seek ‘better services’ for the measly return he got, content to handout money for some dated recruting profiles a highschooler could draw up in crayon (remember, this same coach that got yall to national title game w/ offensive brilliance and is seen as an intelligent guy OR 2) He paid a guy, with access to several big time recruitsto steer them to Oregon, that guy sending bogus marterials about a year later than paid for, and that guy telling that Chip Kelly was paying him for his influence. IF you objectively look at JUST facts (not innuendo and ‘motivations’ and all the hyperbole) the first scenario makes no sense. Only the second carries any water.
The problem here is, there is no mea culpa. Oregon is tying its banner to the “we were stupid but didnt’ brake the rules” banner. So if more comes out, or the NCAA doesn’t buy the first scenario, there’s no where to go. You can’t come out later and say “we did but we’re sorry” because your defense is ignorance.
On the one hand it does make sense, because ya’ll would get blistered for playing for players anyway so your only hope maybe to dodge the whole bullet. MAYBE, with no paper trail (like tressel emails) yall can have some plausible deniabilty. However i think common sense and the call for equity among recent NCAA vilators like OSU, USC, and Tenn will prevail. Odds are this or something related to this will cost Kelly his job w/ the year. Damage control is more important than any one coach.
Anyway, i hate it for ya’ll. The Ducks are my favorite pac10 team to pul for. I think the table is set for yall to dominate the pac10 for the next few years, if this doesn’t get in the way. Wish you the best.
The problem here is, there is no mea culpa. Oregon is tying its banner to the "we were stupid but didnt’ brake the rules" banner.
This just isn’t true at all. Oregon has said absolutely nothing on this topic. They have released documents (per FOIA request), but without any comment. We simply have no idea what Oregon has said to the NCAA, if they’ve said anything at all so far. But this myth has been trumpeted by just about every media member around. Once Oregon or the NCAA says something, we’ll have a much better idea of what will happen.
I think that Oregon will have been found to break NCAA violations, but what consequences that has remain to be seem. If Oregon didn’t try to cover anything up, then I think they’ll face insignificant penalties. If Kelly lied to the NCAA about his relationship with Lyles, he’s gone. Unfortunately, we have no idea what happened, but that’s not stopping anyone from making grand, ignorant pronouncements about Chip Kelly’s future.
--AddictedToQuack, SBNation's Oregon Ducks blog
I think the first kinda fits kelly's mo
From my analysis of kelly I’ve decided he is a football genius but he handles individuals with some naive brashness, he handles the media this way and it could be said he handles his football players with the same attitude, he trusts them until they make a mistake and handles it with a brash punishment. From what Lyles said about how he handled the payment plan, and fact he was dealings with lyles in the first place, looks naive and a little brash.
"Last time I checked, there is no ‘Hall of Average.’ " Chip Kelly
I don’t agree. I think he he may brashly handle people he has contempt for, but I don’t agree with him having brash punishments for his players.

maybe so...
but he can be naive about things, I think he sees the world through football shaded glasses and it could have gotten him in trouble. Nothing would make me sadder than loosing chip, but i think we have him on to high of a pedal stool that forces us to overlook some character traits that lead to this.
"Last time I checked, there is no ‘Hall of Average.’ " Chip Kelly
I'm not sure what you're seeing that leads you to say that.
What character traits are you referring to? And what makes you think he sees the world through football shaded glasses? If anything, I think he sees what is truly important better than most coaches.

i agree with what he sees.
I’m just saying i think he can be naive about things, which i conclude from the way he handles media. so I’m applying that opinion to how he handled this situation. I suppose its not a very good argument.
"Last time I checked, there is no ‘Hall of Average.’ " Chip Kelly
Honestly, I think naivete would be a fair criticism of Kelly. A part of it is because he rose to national prominence at an unprecedented rate for the sports world – only a handful of years from being the OC of an FCS program.
It was endearing to Duck fans, but it was fuel for others with his handling of the media last year. This year, he said multiple times that he’s working on being nicer to them. I think that shows he’s still learning how to handle himself, but that’s still adaptive.
He’s also doing that a million times better than I could.

laughable? really?
I can see why you’d have duck-shaded glasses on, but – clearly – you must see why he is in a various precarious position. If he comes off as either an idiot for getting ripped off or a liar based on whatever he said to the NCAA or a cheater based on how the NCAA decides to view the status of Lyles, he’ll be the scapegoat and he’ll be gone. Maybe he survives it all – but the prospect that he doesn’t surely is not laughable.
Damn, my eyeball tastes good.
@chrislandon
Yes. Laughable.
If you really think that, I think you’re being intellectually dishonest, Gekko.
I love the “only two” scenarios you present. Maybe before accusing me of handling this with an Oregon bias, you actually give a few extra thoughts to other possibilities outside of media hubris and your own assumptions. I’m not dealing with any glasses or anything. With the objective facts presented, you can formulate other plausible suppositions with only speculation and not assumptions.

actually - I gave three scenarios ...
… but I did mistakenly use the term “either”, so you got me.
I think the fact that we’ve evolved to the point of accusing the media of excessive hubris actually makes the point for me. The fact that the media has Oregon in its crosshairs, rightly or wrongly, makes the plausibility of Chip losing his job slightly more than “laughable”. The truth is only slightly relevant and whatever reasonable arguments may be made in UO’s defense are even less so.
Damn, my eyeball tastes good.

So it’s the power of the media that is going to cause the UO administration to fire Chip Kelly?

The media is the investigative arm in regards to initial reports. Though, yes – they will still uncover and release information to the public that the NCAA will refuse to comment on.
If you think you or the media knows (or even the details of what they know) as much as the NCAA knows, your hubris is clouding your judgement.

If coach Kelly ran everything through compliance
they signed off on it, cut the check and told him later to request documents (all very plausible even without duck-shaded glasses) then why would his job be in question?
On top of that, what does he have to lie to the NCAA about? He’s done exactly what a coach was supposed to do. Run it by compliance.

I love hearing how Oregon has said this, or Kelly lied to the NCAA about that.
YellowHammer, I’ve got an occam’s razor for you. Either a) after years of being shut out of Texas by high school coaches in trying to get information on PSA’s there, Oregon paid a guy to give them access and information so they could recruit them on the same level as the Texas schools, or b) even though NOBODY has said that Lyles was paid to steer players to Oregon, including Lyles himself Oregon is engineering an entire cover up of how they’ve paid one guy who’s still lying about being paid while telling the truth about everything else to send players to Oregon.

Thanks for the post.
I actually appreciate your input because you aren’t just here waving a lit zippo around.
However, your two propositions are not conclusive enough. Mostly because if you objectively look at JUST facts, your second scenario would have to have assumptions removed. Any “steering” is adamantly denied by Lyles and Oregon hasn’t said a thing. It is the assumption and implication of writers that he was steering recruits, not objective facts.
Oregon also hasn’t tied any banner to anything. Oregon hasn’t said anything except “We believe we have not violated and rules and will continue to work with the NCAA”. There are no claims of ignorance, stupidity or anything like that – because they haven’t said anything. So – there’s another assumption that needs to be removed from this equation.
I acknowledge that the NCAA very well may find that Oregon violated a rule. The rule and the extent of punishment is extremely unpredictable in this manner.

"If Lache Seastrunk is the POTG against LSU, I will formally quit ATQ." - Axemen23 on 6/21/2011
I am a bit worried
But from listening to the Lyles interview it sounds like the coaches would call him up, ask him questions and he’d answer. It sounds like a lot of the help we received was done in a way that did not include spreadsheets. Then when they needed a paper trail he gathered up all the info he could and threw it Oregon’s way as a last ditch effort to document what was done. This seems to raise a couple questions:
Is it naive to believe this is how they handled the business?
Is it a reasonable conclusion that this is just a cover for the actual shady dealings?
If the answer is no and based on Lyles statement that Oregon told him next year they needed documents to show what they received was this just a business relationship that was in the process of being perfected? If so why was this not done in the beginning (were they learning as they went)? In the company I work for it is very common for a new process to suck, it takes time to close the flaws but is it reasonable to conclude that is what happened here?
For all the good I see Kelly doing for the kids and UO in general it would take felony to convince me he has to go, and not a wussy felony either. I really do believe he is helping turn these kids into men.
I think this was probably a knee-jerk reaction to the media
hype where everyone was saying “it all depends on what they got for 25k”.
We now know that 25k isn’t an exorbitant amount and that a “national package” means 3 or more states.
Then again, Oregon was in a tough spot, because if they said that the recruiting information they paid for was delivered verbally, then they would have been crucified for that as well.

We now know that 25k isn’t an exorbitant amount

Damn, my eyeball tastes good.
@chrislandon
I'm too lazy to go look for it
but I read an interview where the recruiting service, considered legitimate, charged 25k for their National Package which included 3 or more states.
Lyles was asked to find a comparable package to bill Oregon, and he called around and found that 25k was the going rate for a “national package”.
My parents believed in me.
No,
Lyles was asked to name the price of the most expensive recruiting service. ‘Exorbitant’ is a subjective word, but $25,000 is the fattest check you can write in the business. Programs do write checks like that, but they get a LOT in return.

You’re right. I retract the Oregon comment. Oregon has not spoken out definitively like OSU did w/ Tressel. That’s the smart play.
They’re saying the right thing right now “dont’ think we did anything wrong…but looking into it” . That gives them the chance to distance from Kelly if things go South.
As for the media and the angry townfolk. Get used to it. People shout what they think happened, what they WANT to have happened, what would make good paper….NOT facts. Ya’ll will grow thicker skin in the process. Football season can’t get here soon enough!!!!

The biggest thing we had to look forward to was the late-June release of the preseason magazines, and the occasional puff piece in the RG about what last year’s star player was doing during the summer, or how someone’s rehab was going, or if Bellotti or Brooks was [on the hot seat / a candidate for another job] for next season.

Solution to the problem as a whole.
I think the NCAA should start regional offices with the main objective of helping recruits get exposure and provided assistance with the whole recruiting process. If they really take issue with these third party services they should reduce the demand by filling the void with and entity of there own. They could even make it mandatory for all recruits to go through this entity before entering the recruiting process. They could gather official measurables that are accessible to all schools. Does anyone want to elaborate or have a better idea?

I did offer my nearly "trademark" (under-appreciated) sarcasm, but I genuinely think it's a good idea.
I actually thought about this several times today. True story!
Similar to selective service, PSAs would have to register and then take a seminar on how to navigate the recruiting process, picking a school that’s right for the PSA, identifying common violations, have sport specific metrics assessed (i.e. a PSA looking for a crew scholly wouldn’t have the option of having his 40 time measured unless he was looking for a football scholly), etc. Education in what is and is not kosher would empower the PSAs and (hopefully) punishment by loss of eligibility would be less frequent.
The main problem I see with this is corruption, but we have that now. To combat this, I would recommend an internal affairs department and/or an audit process.

Jason Whitlock: " Sellout, attention whore and snitch more accurately describe Lyles"
I’m going to keep it all the way real. Lyles portrayed himself as the black man willing to help these young black boys. But now that there’s a little heat, a chance to strike back at the white football coach who committed the reprehensible crime of giving Willie’s fledging business $25,000 in startup cash and getting quiet when the NCAA started asking questions, Willie threw everyone under the bus.
Sellout. Attention whore. Snitch.
Though I did enjoy this...
There is no truth to the rumor that Lyles, 31, also told the Yahoo! reporters that he recently realized Santa Claus and Tooth Fairy were fictional.

The problem is
I do find most of what Lyles says to be credible. Is he lapping up his 15 minutes of fame? Sure. Is he self serving? Sure.
But, what he says in large part exonerates Oregon.
Whitlock, on the other hand, is essentially implying that Kelly and Lyles were up to no good and that Lyle’s basically snitched on his partner in crime.

Thanks,
but that’s way too many facts…..facts just get in the way of the story.
To Alcohol: The cause of, and solution to, all of life's problems!
Late January 2010: Lyles approaches Kelly again about purchasing national package, Kelly suggests terms comparable with the "best paying service".
February 3, 2010: Seastrunk signs LOI with Oregon
February 22, 2010: Invoice for 2011 scouting services sent to UO by CSS
March 29, 2010: Invoice paid in full by UO, for next 12 months (Presumably Feb 2010 – January 2011) Lyles provides UO with verbal reports and contributed to a spreadsheet, and collected and delivered film on 50 players. According to Lyles, UO tells him they don’t need written material until the 2011-12 recruiting cycle.
At some point presumably close to the same billing cycle as UO, LSU Pays $6000 for JC package and Cal pays $5000 for Texas package
August 1, 2010: 2010-2011 NCAA Div. 1 Manual rules go into effect, expanding recruiting service rules to include itemized requirements for deliverables.
Can anyone confirm that August rule expansion? Because that actually explains something.

"If Lache Seastrunk is the POTG against LSU, I will formally quit ATQ." - Axemen23 on 6/21/2011
Please excuse my speculation. Again, Oregon hasn't said anything on this.
Here is a hypothesis to explain some events and the documents:
Well, if the NCAA only recently passed the rule that itemized deliverable requirements were needed, it explains a reason, according to Lyles’s story, of why Oregon didn’t feel the need to have spreadsheets or documentation at the time (it was prior to the rule being passed), and that Lyles’ needed to deliver proper documentation for next year, when the time came.
Fast forward quite a few months later when Oregon paid Lyles, the new rules were now enacted – and they sensed an upcoming NCAA inquiry due to the first Yahoo! Sports report. They would likely want something to show the NCAA of what they expect to receive in the future for these payments. – the actual details would not be significant.

Seems plausible.

To Alcohol: The cause of, and solution to, all of life's problems!
It also invalidates all the criticism of “Paying $25k of outdated information” and “caught in the act of covering up”, because this supposition provides an adequate explanation while maintaining they were following the rules.

Caught a few minutes of 1080 this afternoon. They were going off on Whitlock, accused him of “slandering” Lyles. (By their definition, slander apparently means “say bad things about someone.”) Also said Whitlock was obviously jealous of Yahoo and C*nz*no since Lyles said more in their subsequent interviews than his.
Of course nothing was mentioned re Whitlock’s main points.

Listening to the entire Bomani Jones interview now

I had to turn the TV off
ESPN runs highlights all day long of an SEC power winning a title with their star #1 draft pick QB, despite the fact that his father admitted to shopping his son to various universities for cash. And at the exact same time they are celebrating the victory of this player, they’re completely tearing another team apart for doing shady things, dealing with sketchy characters, and not doing things “the right way”.
Hell, they have an analyst who won two championships but also had more players arrested than anyone else. Oh, wait, he’s from another SEC power, I guess that makes it okay. I just can’t stand the hypocrisy, to stand up and declare yourself righteous and pure and on the side of good, while everyone sitting at the table with you have done equally shady things to win and have been in the middle if scandals far worse than this.

Have you guys ever heard the backstory on John Canzano?
He actually isn’t a hack. He is a good columnist. What happened is, he was writing for the San Jose Mercury News and Jon Wilner, who is also a writer there, wrote a sensationalist column that generated a lot of internet buzz, but was actually a complete fabrication. Canzano did the right thing and cooperated with the sports page editor and they reprimanded Wilner. As a result of his cooperation, Wilner put a hit on him and his family, and said Canzano had to write similar pieces or they’d all get killed. The hit is credible and he truly fears for their lives. So Canzano shot up to The Oregonian and decided to write there to get away from the threat. That is why he decided he had to try and make Willie Lyles seem credible. He was the guy on the sportsdesk that was actively recruiting other writers to come to the Mercury News and seek truth. He did us a tremendous favor by coming up to Portland to bring the Ducks so much press. He just wants the world to understand.
The guy is heartbroken.

The hit is credible and she truly fears for their lives. So Daisy shot up to Portland and decided to shop there to get away from the threat.

I'm sorry you got banned
for something so old, and especially because really I think you’ve grown out of most all of your trollish behavior.
But I’m laughing my butt of right now – that is hilarious.

I think you should make it your life's work to create new identities for CougCenter posting
so you can get banned on a biennial basis. This will take some creative thought and clever timing, but you’re obviously up to it.

--Dave
Addicted to Quack, your friendly, neighborhood Oregon Ducks blog
Your contributions aside, that was a shit article
Lyles provided a bevy of information appearing to shoot holes in Oregon’s story that they’d paid him $25,000 for an obsolete recruiting list
This is just killing me. Oregon’s story? Oregon hasn’t said dick. Media hacks have been saying this. Jesus.
To Alcohol: The cause of, and solution to, all of life's problems!
Pretty much the entire story that's out now is media manufacture.
Oregon will get the death penalty because they blatantly cheated and were too stupid to slip the money under the table. There can’t be any other motive or explanation. They were obviously buying a recruit, and are very stupid so they did it stupidly and got caught obviously buying a recruit. There’s no other possibility so lets just move forward as if that is an established fact. And because that’s a fact, we don’t need to look at any other facts.
And once we’re at that point, the media coverage suddenly makes sense.

Its become one giant circle jerk.
And, by the way, Kelly is just like Tressell. Feel free to lump him in with every cheating scumbag that ever got caught red handed.

For people such as myself that dont want to support SBB "journalism"
The article is about Lyles’ relationship with Les Miles. But not like a Lache Seastrunk’s mom sort of relationship.

Warm and fuzzy as usual!
I finally recovered from the beatdown you guys and Vandy laid on the baseball team
Oregon.
Urban Meyer has had success at a school that is similar to Oregon in a few ways, Utah.
Regardless of the Pryor days, Ohio State is not a school that will make their living off of a flashy spread and shred style of offense. the entire philosophy of the Big-10 is much different than that of the Pac-12, MWC, and to a lesser extent, the SEC.
Keep in mind that I have only followed football since Tressel has been the coach at tOSU (and he is “the most uninteresting man in the world”), Meyer just doesnt strike me as traditional (conservative) enough of a fit for Ohio State.
