    Here is the scoop....

    We can report that the story about Kaho having lost “20 pounds” is not true. He weighed 215 when he left for Reno. So, at the most, it was a three-pound loss (and it’s normal considering the stress he’s been through).

    The info about him “not eating” is not true either — it’s more about not being able to work out. There’s no question that the kid is stressed out; two family members suddenly passing away is tough on any teenager.

    His parents have been going through a divorce since last spring — but here’s what’s disturbing about this: His father, Hopate, had been calling up other player’s parents asking to borrow large sums of money due to his situation with the divorce.

    Thankfully, the parents who were approached turned him down and wanted nothing to do with it. One parent we know of went to UW and told them this had transpired so it might be reported to compliance.

    While that, in itself, is not “illegal” — but it suggests a financial burden that the father of Kaho is experiencing and from what we’ve gathered this evening.


    Remember when he signed, his mother went on Twitter and asked other schools to leave her son alone? There’s always been something rather unsettling about this.

    At this point, it’s unknown if Kaho will return to Washington or not. We know, for a fact, that Ale — himself — did everything he needed to do to get into Washington and become a Husky. This was his dream. But it was true that, all through the process, Kaho’s parents were not completely sold because they wanted him to go to Brigham Young and receive an LDS-centered education.

    Is that what will happen now? We don’t know. We do know that he’s home and that he, himself, was looking forward to beginning his career at Washington.

    So he will be a Duck. This is exciting news.

    He's now being followed by pretty much all of the Oregon staff

    “We’re 100% UW” Adam Jude claims a Kaho family member told him. Except right now they’re worried about young Kaho who shouldn’t be concentrating on football but overcoming family turmoil

    Fair enough. Why ask for his release? 100% UW? Take some time. Get things together.

    I guess if Kaho was never coming, Peterson would have told us. Right?

    If they’re 100% UW why ask for a release through the NCAA and follow an Oregon coach (I didn’t confirm the follow, not up on my TBS skills)? Please don’t ask for a full release to try and get immediate eligibility (to be closer to home for personal reasons) and go to Oregon.
    If he gets released and doesn't play foosball this year his clock won't start ticking.
    Mostly true, he can enroll in classes (more than 11 credits) and his clock will start, If he isn't released, UO following him is suspect to say the least

    Nod. I agree, it looks a little ugly.
    Here are all the screenshots you'll need:





    Strange how much I hate Fetters. Never met him. Interacted on doormgman a couple of times. But he has that face and attitude I just enjoy punching.
    Hurtful

    It would be a tremendous coup for the Ducks and a massive blow to UW (duh). Elite player poached from a rival right before training camp begins, and all under the auspices of supposed 'family problems' similar to DJ IIRC. A total winners win move.

    Now imagine if Oregon had at least a top 70ish FBS coach. The talent will be there for whoever replaces Saban's demoted tackles coach. Please don't be Urban Meyer.

    I'm not reading too much into the Oregon follows. I also see coaches from Tennessee, Utah, TCU, Texas, and BYU. I'm sure they are all hoping for a DM.

    That makes a hell of a lot more sense than Oregon.

    You don’t leave for family reasons and then go to a school FURTHER AWAY without $$$ being involved ...

    I would be SHOCKED if we offered a release with Bama’s name on it

    Agreed. Only schools should be BYU or Utah State Nevada. Most people don't get the luxury of a free education, so he shouldn't be too upset if it is not a perfect fit.
    Edit: Tequilla corrected me below.

    Why either of those? Only school that makes sense for family reasons is Nevada because it is in Reno.
