I know there is discussion about him in various other threads but those threads are titled for other things like Quack watch and other topics.
My questions to those in the know, do we have any idea what emergencies or things that had to be taken care of at home are? If he returns, do you feel there would be any impact to team chemistry or the rest of the guys being accepting of his return?
Couple of thoughts I had were maybe he feels he came up too early and wants to take advantage of spending time out home doing normal 18 y/o things before taking on the full college responsibilities. Or, maybe something happened at home that was not planned i.e. a parent being relocated to a new job in a different part of the country and changing the overall family plan of visiting, seeing games, etc. Trying to give the kid the benefit of doubt as I know many like to assume the worst (do it myself sometimes) and speak negatively about recruits ( I don't do that). Really like this kid and hope that Oregon is a good fit for him.
