So what are we supposed to think about the Ducks’ latest football recruit?
Oregon apparently didn’t recruit this guy. He sought them out. But this is his story:
Marcus Davis was an US Army All-American high school player in his first year at Texas but was suspended indefinitely by Longhorns Head Coach Mack Brown following an incident in the early morning hours on November 29, 2009.
According to the web site, sportsnewsandscores.com, Davis was stopped around 6:45 a.m. because of driving on a flat tire. He was then arrested for driving while intoxicated and for possession of a controlled substance. The charges against Davis were later drastically reduced.
Brown suspended Davis immediately from the Longhorns final games of the season and the Rose Bowl game for the BCS Championship. On January 1, 2010, the blog site BurntOrangeNation.com posted a report indicating Davis was transferring and sources tell eDuck.com that soon afterward, Davis contacted Oregon’s Chip Kelly about transferring to Eugene, ironically prior to a number of legal incidents involving Oregon players.
Apparently the Ducks will announce his signing later today.
So… is this what’s going to happen in the future — kind of like the way a certain type of player always kind of gravitated toward Jerry Tarkanian? Is Oregon going to become some sort of home for wayward boys? Is Chip Kelly the new Father Flanagan for college football?
I guess only time will tell.
