Tyrese Cooper to Oregon

Anybody know what’s up with him at Oregon

Didn’t see him on their roster?

Did something change this summer or fall with him attending ?!?

I don't know why more schools don't engage in this type scholarship allocation. Oregon is no longer a football powerhouse so they don't care about using a few of those scholarships for track guys.

No they are not a blue blood, but still in the playoff convo 9 weeks in, they are legit. Lost to Auburn on a neutral field on a fluke last sescond desperation throw.

That doesn't change the point that they sort of cheat with some of their scholarships.

And how do you kno this? “....sort of cheat...” lmao

isn’t he a criminal? wrote:

I thought he was supposed to be in prison.

Obviously, charachter is not a consideration for the admittance committee at Oregon. I'll bet his SAT/ACT scores were noteworthy in the admittance process.

What am his problem, yo?

There's nothing obscure about college football

Uh, are you not reading this thread? They used a football scholarship for Cooper. Or at least they planned to use one until he wasn't admitted.

So he is not at Oregon and was not admitted?

I’m curious what he’s up to this year?

Will he be running at Oregon or somewhere else?

Haha.

I live in Oregon and loosely follow Duck football.

I'm virtually certain Cooper is not on a football scholarship. There is no way head football coach Cristobal would use a scholarship on Cooper. I did read that Cooper was planning on practicing with the team. The NCAA rule is that if a player plays just one down of football, his scholarship counts as a football scholarship.

I cannot speak to why he is not on the roster and for all I know maybe he is not enrolled. I can't recall reading anything that he didn't qualify to enroll or simply didn't enroll. But I wouldn't be surprised if he is not on the roster for the simple fact that he is on a T&F scholarship. So he is not really even a football walk on even if he is practicing with the team. Again, unlike even a walk on there is no chance he is going to play. For that matter I have doubts he is even practicing with the football team. It would probably be a rude awakening to him to know what high level college football is all about. Duck coaches would probably want total commitment from him or else tell him to get the hell out of the way.

Untrue. He was listed on the roster but never made it to school. And as far as football scholarships go, many guys never play a down despite being on scholarship. They must attend practice. That's it. Oregon intended to use a football scholarship which they typically do with 5-6 scholarships.

If you have reason to know he is not in school then I won't dispute that.

But I'm calling BS that you ever saw him on any official roster that matters. He may have shown up for spring football workouts. I can believe that Oregon football coaches were curious about Cooper and would let him workout with the team. But that is meaningless. I think it likely the Oregon coaches wouldn't allow Cooper to practice with the team during the season. And even if they did its very conceivable that Cooper still wouldn't be on the roster. The roster is pretty much just what the coaches submit to the athletic department. Its basically whoever they are willing to give a uniform to. Conceivably coaches can let any enrolled student workout with the team.

Trust me, Cooper was never going to be on a football scholarship unless he turned out to be a really talented receiver and committed himself to year around football training. Oregon football is recruiting almost exclusively high level 4 and 5 star football players these days. Scholarship availability is limited and precious. The Oregon football program is not going to use any football scholarship to help prop up the Oregon T&F program if that is what you are suggesting. If an Oregon athlete commits himself totally to football and it just happens that he can still be valuable to the track team, than I think the football coaches will be okay letting him compete on the track. But that is as far as it goes.

He's not on the 2019/2020 Oregon T&F roster. Any ideas as to his where he is?
