I didn't realize UO students were literate

He (DAT) did show up last year. It wasn’t enough.

He’s right about not playing against freshmen DB’s.

BUT wait:

Wasn’t Marquise Lee a FRESHMAN? That’s right. He’s a sophomore this year, which means his sophomore better is better than those freshmen DB’s sophomore best. That’s just logical reasoning.

Also, has he heard of George Farmer? A healthy Robert Woods? Do they have enough DB’s to keep up with three burners at WR?

Like him, I’m not saying anything but...

Maybe DAT plans on going both ways. Just a thought, who knows what other gimmicks O is installing. But I can see DAT lining up against Lee thinking pick 6, but end up being picked on for 6

I didn't realize he was allowed to come back to LA. I thought he lost all of his LA privileges.

He sure says alot for someone "not saying anything".
Twitter does cut down the "you know" 's mercifully.

I wonder if they realize that with our own cb's, one was in his first year at USC, the other in his second. I don't think that' s waayyyy more experience that you can make excuses about. Actually, they started Troy Hill and Terrance Mitchell, both Redshirt Freshmen so their db starters actually had MORE experience on their team than our corners did.
Let's not mention our own starting OG, WR, SLB, WLB, MLB were all FRESHMEN. Possibly fr DT Tavai as well, I can't recall offhand. I just hope Oregon fans aren't making this same excuse because it just doesn't fly.

Yes...yes we do.

You know, from the link provided you could tell that this decision was very hard on DeAnthony...almost seems as though the reports of him being forced out of California were true. I really feel bad for this young man...I don't believe him to be the bad seed that many believe him to be! He's a competitor...and a dang good one at that! That lil' dude has mad heart, and he plays the game like a giant despite his slight stature. Wish things did not transpire the way they did....whatever it may have been that led him to change his mind; however, I wish him all the best in fulfilling his dreams--just not against my beloved Trojans!

Why are a bunch of adults getting worked up about what some punk kids tweets.
If we are better than WhOregon on the field, we will show it on November 3rd by kicking their collective asses. No point in yapping about it and pounding our chests until then, just to spite DAT.
Be classier than the Oregon players and fans, dont float in the murky water with them.
Fight On!

He doesn't say, "um" very oftern. He says, "you know" a lot, though.

TLK

Seems like he is trying to psych himself up for this game because he knows that the Ducks are under-dogs and will most likely lose (in front of his home-town homies).
Let him talk all he wants. Our Defense will talk on the field with their shoulder pads. We ain't Wisconsin!

I think this is a very good post. Though, I don't think he was forced out. I think he was a nervous 17 year old speaking to an audience he was aware would be upset with his decision and knowing how long he had so many people convinced he was a trojan. I understand why people were upset with the decision, but his friends have nothing but love for the kid. Sure they want to beat his ass on the field now (as they should), but they are all fine with his decision and wish him the best. The only people wishing ill on him or cursing him are fans who don't (really) know him at all and have formed opinions about him from media, random quotes, etc. He is an 18 year old kid who made a decision a year ago...might be time to follow the lead of those who know him best and move forward.

Also, I do wish he wouldn't speak about the game and inflame the Trojan players and fanbase...The ducks will have enough to deal with/worry about Nov. 3rd without added flames to the fire. I have no doubt he can back it up, but until the duck DBs are able to do anything against Lee and Woods I'd rather not poke the bear.

And no one on last year's USC team that was recruited for a specific position switched to another?

You go where the team needs you and the team will not put you in a position that you can't handle. Personally, I really don't care that he didn't come to USC, especially if it wasnt in his heart to do so, but don't make excuses for the way he punked the USC coaches and players. Step and be a man. Just say that I have thought long and hard and I want to go to Duck Shit U and dont string along a bunch of people up until the last moment.
