to return to Oregon, per Yardbarker. Wants to have perfect record, be National Champs, Heisman, and campus experience.

What are you talking about? I know LMJ pretty well and last I checked he is still undecided and wanted a few days for the Rose Bowl excitement to wear off before he made a decision.

Actually, it is a sports site (For Rumors) Maybe conjecture by their staff to stir up readership.

<blockquote><div class="name-said">joethedog;666053 said:</div><hr>Actually, it is a sports site (For Rumors) Maybe conjecture by their staff to stir up readership.<hr></blockquote><br /><br />Maybe they are just guessing he will return that way if LMJ does return they can claim that they scooped it first.

Well, I'm going to open this can of worms and wish him well. He's a great player.<br /><br />Buuut... as long as the SEC is on top, it will be tough for him to achieve this.

I thought Barkley and Landry Jones already said the NC is theirs next year. This'll get ugly.

Craig James, Duck James I'd still vote for Rick James.

He's insane if he returns. He's a first round pick, and the career of an nfl RB is so short. Take the money.

They will lose in Memorial next year.

Well, he has been on the Pac 12 Academic Team and once said that making that list was the only individual honor he cared about. That's gotta to say something.

class="name-said">Quote:</div><hr>LaMichael James wants to take one more shot at winning the Pac 12, winning the national title, winning the Heisman Trophy, having an undefeated season, and enjoying the college experience. All of these elements led to him announcing his return to the University Of Oregon for his senior season. Commenting on his decision to return for school for his senior season, James recently stated, “I’m a team guy. I love my teammates. Me not playing with those guys next year would be devastating to me.” It is great that the Pac 12 will have Matt Barkley and LaMichael James in the conference next season and hopefully they both can stay healthy. With James leadership on the field, it will definitely be difficult for any opponent to find a way to beat the Oregon Ducks next season.<hr></blockquote>

Based on my reading, it seems like Yardbarker is just guessing. They took one quote and interpreted it as him coming back. But he's basically saying it would be cool IF he came back. Doesn't sound official to me.

You don't make the all academic team without putting in some effort so I'm sure he's attending class and doing well. Russell White greatly benefited from academic support and hard work and the education he received at Cal did wonders for him. Kudos to LMJ if the light went on for him at Oregon. Knock him for the domestic abuse but I can't see why we'd criticize a kid for improving his academics.
