Hmm, i'm 50/50 on whether to believe this.

Sounds credible in a way, and I hope it is wrong, because that is just terrible.

We'll take care of him up here. No worries about that.

Its gotta be UO.
 
I don't buy it. It's not like they can't come across the state line or anything
 
Sounds like bullshit.

I find it very believable. There are numerous other reports about this. And LA gangs seem pretty gangish to me.
 
Reasons why I don't think this story is true.

1. If he's a major witness in a murder investigation, he would've been a state witness in a public court of law against these "supposed" gangbangers. Meaning there would be actual 'proof' that he testified against such people.

2. Why Oregon? This kid was the number 5 ranked player by Rivals. He could've gone anywhere in the country yet he goes North in a town that's off the same interstate as Los Angeles. It doesn't make sense that if he really wanted to get away from fear of death you'd think he'd go to a place that's not a half a day drive away.

Yeah, like I said, it sounds like bullshit.
 
Those are all good points. I talked to a client who is an ex UO football player and a major donor and he tells me the kid is very genuine and the real deal. He says the coaching staff believes it- for what that's worth.

So this is something that the coaching staff knows about?
 
...As a result, he shot up to Oregon and decided to go there to get away from the threat. That is
why he was crying when he made the announcement. He was the kid in the
class that was actively recruiting other recruits to come to USC. He did
us a tremendous favor by recruiting kids to SC and forestalling his
announcement until after we had our 30 guys. The kid is heartbroken.

Reverse translation: "No one can resist USC's enchanting beauty. He must be gay."

I believe it and I can see way he feels safe in Eugene.

EPD rolls deep! They're like ninjas w/ special tear gas powers.
 
If the guy truly fears for his life, I'm surprised he hasn't been put in protective custody by the Feds.
 
Didn't happen. The NBC sportsblog is propagating really horrible unverified stories that originated at other blogs (in this case Conquest Chronicles).

Smear tactics by butthurt USC fans.
