In a wide-ranging, multi-day interview, Lyles said Kelly âscrambledâ in late February and asked Lyles to submit retroactive player profiles to justify the $25,000 payment to his company, just days before the transaction was revealed in a March 3 Yahoo! Sports report.

Oregon going down.

Lyles insists Oregon did not make a direct request or payment to steer recruits to Eugene. However, he now says Oregon did not pay him for his work as a traditional scout, but for his influence with top recruits and their families and his ability to usher prospects through the signing and eligibility process.

2 second summary from me
1) bad news for Oregon and Kelly especially - lays bare that Kelly was essentially using Lyles as an extra coach to recruit Lache
2) good news for LSU - no allegations of wrong doing and some indication they were on the ball RE: compliance issues. For example:

Lyles new company would wind up with just three clients. In addition to Oregons $25,000, LSU paid $6,000 for junior college information in California and Kansas (although all they wanted to discuss was Texas high schools, according to Lyles) and Cal paid $5,000 for a Texas service.
For the next 12 months Lyles said he provided Oregon with frequent verbal reports on prospects and contributed to a joint spreadsheet to update information. While he doesnât personally shoot film of prospects, he said he asks high school coaches for them and sent Oregon tape on approximately 50 players he thought could play for them.
He said Oregon specifically told him he need not provide written materials until the 2011-12 year.
That is a stark contrast from LSU, which Lyles said sent him a checklist to follow when submitting reports for the junior college package purchased by the Tigers.
Their standards required written reports on two different dates and film on a continual basis over the length of the deal.
Lyles said Cal requested nothing specific, so he sent the same spreadsheet databases to the Bears that he eventually provided to the Ducks.

nothing to indicate they are in trouble from the article IMO.
But if you look wrong at the NCAA they can change that

You'd think he would have dished out some money to Lyles for him to shut the frick about everything.

So there's the Oregon story, which I might say is a pretty big deal.
If this is the "big deal" what is the "bombshell"... It's got to be Auburn. I don't know what else would be large enough to be a bombshell, unless he's going to incriminate a ton of schools.

Especially since the school then asked for quick turn around a year later on the information that they had already paid for. I think Oregon gets hit if what Lyles says is true. I wonder what other schools Lyles will be able to bring down. I suspect it might be more than a handful.

I think it is pretty clear I was responding to a question about LSU
Oregon is in trouble if this story is accurate

explain? I'm sure it has a million times, but I'm not on much.

Nothing like hand written notes from the Oregon coaches thanking Lyles for his help in recruiting!

From the article:
quote:
In addition to working on Seastrunk’s national letter of intent, Lyles said he secured a study course at Sylvan Learning Center in 2009 for the then high school junior in an effort to help him with schoolwork and standardized testing. Lyles said Jeff Wood, the father of then University of Texas quarterback recruit Connor Wood, paid the $4,000-plus bill. Connor and Seastrunk were teammates on a 7-on-7 squad coached by Lyles. Jeff Wood declined comment when reached by Yahoo! Sports. Lyles said he personally asked Wood to help and Wood did so “out of the goodness of his heart.” He said he doesn’t believe Wood was seeking to influence Seastrunk’s recruiting and said, to his knowledge, neither Oregon nor Texas knew of the tutoring.
I don't think for a second Mack or anyone at Texas knew about this but now that we do know, the kid needs to go.
