Scout details relationship with Oregon, Kelly
HOUSTON – Embattled scouting service owner Will Lyles told Yahoo! Sports
that University of Oregon coach Chip Kelly personally approved a
controversial $25,000 fee that sparked an ongoing NCAA investigation and was
in constant contact as Lyles provided the Ducks with recruiting assistance
that may have violated NCAA rules.

In a wide-ranging, multi-day interview, Lyles said Kelly “scrambled” 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. Lyles also provided details
of his fledgling company – Complete Scouting Services (CSS) – as well as
the extent of his relationship with numerous Texas high school stars and his
role in Ducks’ recruitment of certain prospects.
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. That dual role as mentor to prospects and paid
contractor to Oregon is believed to be a focus of the NCAA probe.
“I look back at it now and they paid for what they saw as my access and
influence with recruits,” Lyles said. “The service I provided went beyond
what a scouting service should … I made a mistake and I’m big enough of a
man to admit I was wrong.”
Calls and text messages to Chip Kelly’s two cell phones were not returned.
Oregon spokesman Dave Williford said the university maintains its stance
that there was no wrongdoing, and that comment will be withheld until the
NCAA’s investigation has been resolved.
“Our stance hasn’t changed from our original statement,” Williford said.
“We believe we did nothing wrong.”
The NCAA will not comment on an active investigation.

Lyles said Oregon’s assistant director of football operations, Josh Gibson,
had direct knowledge – and played an ancillary role – in Lyles helping
Temple (Texas) High School star Lache Seastrunk petition to have his
grandmother, rather than his mother, sign his national letter of intent with
the Ducks in February 2010. Seastrunk’s mother, who expressed opposition
to her son about attending Oregon, otherwise could have blocked the signing.
“Indirectly I played a pivotal role in [Seastrunk signing with Oregon],”
Lyles said.
A call and text message to Gibson’s cell phone were not returned.
Lyles said Kelly and Oregon committed to becoming the first client for CSS
prior to Lyles aiding Seastrunk with the letter-of-intent issue. Then, just
after the guardianship switch, Lyles said Kelly instructed him to “find out
what the best paying service is” and to bill Oregon that amount. When
Lyles settled on the $25,000 figure, he said he called Kelly and Kelly
personally approved it.
Eleven months passed – from March 2010 until February 2011 – before the
Ducks requested a single written recruiting profile, Lyles said. And when
that moment came, Lyles said the demand for the reports was sudden and
emphatic, leading him to believe Oregon was “scrambling” to establish that
he’d provided legitimate traditional scouting services because they were
aware of a Yahoo! Sports investigation. Previously, Lyles said he had
provided scouting reports verbally in frequent calls with Oregon coaches.
“They said they just needed anything,” Lyles said of the embarrassingly
thin recruiting profiles that Oregon made public earlier this month. “They
asked for last-minute [stuff]. So I gave them last-minute [stuff] … I gave
them, like, old stuff that I still had on my computer because I never
thought that stuff would see the light of day.”
A $25,000 fee apparently raised questions for the NCAA.
High-end scouting services such as XOS Digital offer national packages that
range in the tens of thousands of dollars, but that price tag includes a
multitude of materials. Some of the resources offered include large caches
of cutups filmed and edited by crews of videographers, quarterly prospect
reports numbering in the several hundreds, verbal consulting, biographical
information and contact numbers.
Beyond the reports, Lyles said he played a role in the recruitment or
eligibility of several key players recruited by the Ducks. Among those
efforts:
• 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.
• In 2007, Lyles counseled the family of current Ducks’ star
LaMichael James on how to avoid a Texas standardized test required for high
school graduation. James had yet to pass the math portion, putting his
college eligibility in jeopardy. Lyles suggested James transfer for the
final semester of his senior year to a high school in Arkansas where no
standardized test is required. James did and later signed with Oregon.
According to Lyles, Kelly, then the Ducks’ offensive coordinator, praised
the transfer as a great idea.

James could not be reached for comment.
• Oregon was one of just four schools Lyles contacted when former
League City (Texas) defensive back Marcus Davis decided he wanted to
transfer from the University of Texas in 2010. Lyles said he enjoyed a close
relationship with Davis and his parents and acknowledged he acted as a go-
between for the family and college programs. The other three schools – Cal,
UCLA and Louisville – couldn’t admit Davis due to academic or other
concerns, according to Lyles. Davis transferred to Oregon but left the
program in the spring of 2011 without playing a down.
• Lyles orchestrated recent visits for multiple recruits to Oregon,
including Seastrunk, eventual Oregon signee Dontae Williams, eventual Auburn
signee Trovon Reed and recruit Matt Sherrard. Lyles chose an Oct. 31, 2009
game against USC for a visit by Williams, Reed, Sherrard and himself,
reviewing and arranging the players’ schedules to ensure he and the players
could make the trip together.
Any of those actions could be red-flagged by the NCAA, which could classify
Lyles as a representative of Oregon’s athletics interests, or determine
that Lyles was giving recruits impermissible benefits. NCAA bylaw 13.02.14
defines a representative of athletic interests as someone “who is known [or
who should have been known] by a member of the institution’s executive or
athletics administration to be assisting or to have been requested [by the
athletics department staff] to assist in the recruitment of prospective
student-athletes.”
Lyles said many of his efforts were known by Kelly or other Oregon staffers
before, during or after they took place. And while Lyles insists he never
sold recruits to any school, he acknowledged his actions went well beyond
the boundaries of a typical scouting service.
This is one of multiple hand-written notes Lyles said he received from
members of the Oregon Ducks football staff following his Oct. 31, 2009
recruiting visit to Eugene. Lyles organized and attended that visit with
recruits Dontae Williams, Trovon Reed and Matt Sherrard.

But Lyles said that his efforts were never questioned by the Ducks. Indeed,
he said Oregon expressed appreciation in phone and face-to-face
conversations when discussing his role with recruits the Ducks were pursuing
. Lyles provided Yahoo! Sports with personal notes sent to him by multiple
members of the coaching staff after he chaperoned the Oct. 31 recruiting
visit to Eugene. The notes included one from Kelly, expressing gratitude for
his work:
“Will, I really appreciate your help in getting Trovon, Dontae, and the
whole crew here this past weekend. We’ll work on getting Lache out here
soon too! Thanks for orchestrating everything and all your help with these
guys. I hope you enjoyed the game … Go Ducks! – Chip Kelly”
Another card signed by assistant coach Tom Osborne reads: “Will, Chip has
told us how much help you have been in recruiting. We really appreciate your
help with Trovon and Dontae. We appreciate all that you (sic) for the
Oregon Ducks!”
Lyles sat for more than five hours of on-the-record interviews with Yahoo!
Sports, and made himself available for follow-up questions. He also provided
access to phone records, emails and business documents to support his
claims. He said he wanted to make his side of the story known and fill in
gaps in the public perception of the case.

the Oregon Ducks football staff following his Oct. 31, 2009 recruiting
visit to Eugene. Lyles organized and attended that visit with recruits

Lyles said he spoke with NCAA enforcement staffers for six hours in early
May as part of their ongoing investigation. He said he didn’t reveal the
stories concerning Kelly, James and Seastrunk to investigators because the
specific topics never came up in questioning.
The picture he painted to Yahoo! Sports was one of a man serving dual roles
as adviser and fixer in the complicated recruiting and eligibility process
for local players, while also engaging in a nuanced professional
relationship with the college coaches pursuing those same recruits.
The story, for neither Lyles nor Oregon, is as cut and dried as it has been
presented. But it does shine a light on the often-murky world of recruiting.
Lyles said he first met Kelly in 2007, when he worked as a Texas-area scout
for Muscle Sports, (MSL) a New York-based service. The father of an Oregon
recruit mentioned to Lyles that the Ducks were looking for running backs. A
year earlier Lyles had attended a state playoff game and was floored by a
speedy junior running back from Texarkana (Texas) Liberty-Eylau named
LaMichael James.
Lyles had met and grown close with James and his older sister, Tasha
Galloway, who was active in James’ life. Even though Oregon was not a
client of Muscle Sports, Lyles said he wanted what was best for James and
thought the Ducks’ system would be perfect for him. He called Kelly, then
the offensive coordinator, to tell him about James. Oregon began recruiting
the player, and a relationship between the scout and the coach was born.
Soon Kelly and Lyles were speaking regularly, phone records show. Over the
next few years, when Kelly came to Houston, Lyles said he would set up an
itinerary for him to visit various high schools. He would even pick Kelly up
at the Marriott hotel at Bush International Airport and drive him around.
Lyles’ ability to serve as more than a scout or tour guide became evident
in December 2007 when he grew concerned about whether James would pass the
math portion of the Texas Assessment of Knowledge and Skills test (TAKS) –
a requirement for graduation.

Home Depot College Football Awards Show on Dec. 9, 2010.

If James couldn’t pass, he’d be ineligible to receive a scholarship. At
the time, James was considering TCU and Minnesota in addition to Oregon.
After a few days poring over documents from the Arkansas Department of
Education, Lyles conceptualized a plan. He suggested to James and Tasha
Galloway that James transfer for his final semester across the nearby state
line to Texarkana (Ark.) Arkansas High School. The TAKS problem would thus
be eliminated. Galloway handled the procedure. James transferred a few miles
over the border and was eligible after signing with Oregon in February 2008.
“[Kelly] was basically like, ‘That was a great idea’ … you know, to make
sure [James] got it done,” Lyles said.
Last season, James rushed for 1,731 yards, scored 24 touchdowns and finished
third in voting for the Heisman Trophy. He was also named to the Pac-10 All
-Academic team.
Lyles said his relationship with Seastrunk began in 2008, during the summer
before the player’s junior year in high school. The two met at a 7-on-7
camp at Texas A&M. Seastrunk was a heralded, future five-star recruit from
Temple, a small city in the central part of the state.
Lyles said Seastrunk was seeking the guidance of an adult figure. His father
was not in his life and his mother, Evelyn, had court-documented legal
trouble during his youth, forcing him to live for long stretches with his
grandparents.
By the time Oregon began seriously recruiting Seastrunk during his junior
year, Lyles said he had grown close to both Lache and Evelyn, even spending
the night at the Seastrunk home on two occasions after Lache’s games.
Lyles said Oregon seized upon his ties with the Seastrunk family during the
recruiting process. He said he became the primary conduit of Oregon’s
recruitment, guiding the efforts of multiple coaches – including Kelly –
along the process by providing personal details about Lache and advice on
how to handle various family members.
In December 2009, with Seastrunk being pursued by numerous top programs
including USC, Oregon, Auburn and LSU, Lyles told Kelly he was planning on
starting his own recruiting service. He asked if Oregon would sign on for a
national recruiting package (NCAA rules limit the number of scouting
services a school can purchase). Lyles said Kelly said yes. The fee was not
discussed.
At no point was Lyles’ influence more apparent than in the next few weeks
when it came to Seastrunk signing the national letter of intent. The NLI
requires a prospect under the age of 21 to have a parent or legal guardian
co-sign the binding document. An NLI provision allows a recruit to petition
for a non-legal guardian to assume signing power, generally in the case of
death or incarceration.
Lyles said the issue became problematic when Seastrunk’s mother said she
wanted him to attend LSU.
At the time, in early January 2010, Lyles thought Seastrunk would sign with
USC. That changed when word leaked that Trojans coach Pete Carroll would
take a job with the NFL’s Seattle Seahawks. Within days, Lyles and
Seastrunk reevaluated his choices, ranking each school based on
predetermined categories such as coaching, academics and lifestyle.
Seastrunk settled on Oregon and became a so-called “silent commit,”
choosing the Ducks without making a public announcement, according to Lyles.
The final hurdle was Evelyn Seastrunk’s stated opposition to Oregon, Lyles
said.
“Lache came to me and said his mother was threatening him, saying she
wouldn’t sign his letter of intent unless he went to the school she told
him to go to,” Lyles said. “He was worried about it because he wasn’t of
age to sign the letter of intent himself. He wanted to find out how he could
get his grandmother to sign the letter of intent instead of his mother,
because his grandmother is the one that raised him in the first place.”
Attempts to reach Evelyn Seastrunk were unsuccessful.
Lyles said he called Gibson, the Ducks’ assistant director of football
operations, made him aware of the potential problem and asked if there was a
way to substitute in Seastrunk’s grandmother.
“When I spoke with Josh he was like, ‘Yeah, this is important,” Lyles
said. “Because, if the mother didn’t sign the letter of intent, I mean,
the kid couldn’t go to school there. I think it had high importance [to
Oregon].”
Lyles granted Yahoo! Sports access to his email and phone records to help
verify his account of events. The records contained a heavy string of
communication from Jan. 7, 2010 to Jan. 17, 2010 between Lyles and members
of the Oregon football program, including Kelly. It was this period where
Lyles said he made the bulk of his efforts involving Seastrunk’s letter of
intent. During that 11-day span:
In this email, Oregon Assistant Director of Football Operations Josh Gibson
forwards Will Lyles instructions from Assistant Athletic Director of
Compliance Bill Clever, detailing the steps to have a grandparent become the
signing guardian on a letter of intent. According to Lyles, this email was
in response to his efforts to help star recruit Lache Seastrunk empower his
grandmother to be his signing guardian, rather than his mother. Lyles said
it was this change that paved the way for Seastrunk’s commitment to the
Ducks.
(Special to Yahoo! Sports)
• Phone records show Lyles connected with Kelly’s two cell phones
seven times – three incoming calls and four outgoing – for a total of 40
minutes.
• Phone records show Lyles connected with Gibson’s cell phone 23
times – 11 incoming and 12 outgoing – for a total of 61 minutes.
• Phone records show Lyles connected with three other Oregon coaches
or athletic department staffers eight times for 14 minutes.
• On Jan. 12, 6:52 p.m.: Gibson forwarded Lyles an email from Bill
Clever, Oregon’s assistant athletic director for compliance with the
subject line “Grandparent signing NLI with PSA” (Prospective Student
Athlete). Attached was an email from Clever from 3:36 p.m. that detailed the
NLI’s procedure for petitioning a change in guardianship and encouraged
Gibson to keep Clever updated for further assistance. “The sooner this gets
put together the better …” it read.
In this email, Temple High School administrator Deanna Carter forwards both
Will Lyles and Oregon Ducks athletic department staffer Josh Gibson a letter
signed by Lache Seastrunk and his grandmother, requesting to have the
guardianship signature on his letter of intent changed. Lyles said it was
this signature change - from his mother to his grandmother - that ultimately
made it possible for Seastrunk to sign with Oregon.
(Special to Yahoo! Sports)
• Jan. 15: Lache Seastrunk and his grandmother, Annie Harris, sign and
date a letter to the National Letter of Intent office, requesting that
Harris be allowed to approve his LOI.
In three paragraphs, Seastrunk conveys several personal issues, mentions his
mother’s legal issues and states his mother shouldn’t be allowed to sign
his letter of intent because, in part, “she is only worried about herself
and what she might be able to get from me going to school or playing in the
pros.”
• Jan. 17: The letter Seastrunk and his grandmother wrote to the NLI
office is forwarded via email by Temple High School administrator Deanna
Carter to both Lyles and Gibson.
And with that, Lache Seastrunk was free to sign with Oregon.
Lyles’ intimate involvement with Seastrunk’s letter of intent came just
weeks after Kelly and Oregon agreed to be Complete Scouting Service’s first
client. It also was after Lyles filed the founding documents of his company
. That places him under the jurisdiction of the NCAA as an active recruiting
service provider. Regardless of his intentions, his relationship with both
Oregon and Seastrunk could be a major violation of at least one – and
possibly multiple – NCAA regulations.
Lyles’ engagement of both Oregon and Seastrunk in a manner that facilitated
the Ducks securing the prep star’s letter of intent could classify Lyles
as a representative of the school’s athletics interests.
Lyles’ advisement in Seastrunk’s letter of intent process – along with
Gibson’s involvement with Lyles’ actions – could be a major point of
interest for NCAA investigators.
Lyles said he spoke again to Kelly in late January to discuss Oregon
purchasing Complete Scouting Service’s national package. When trying to
determine a fee, Lyles said Kelly provided a suggestion.
“He told me to go out and find out what the best paying service is,” Lyles
said. “And he said he was going to have Josh Gibson look into it. But Josh
never really looked in to it; but I did.”
Lyles said he began calling around to other scouting services, posing as a
coach from Texas Southern (where he had attended but not graduated) who was
interested in purchasing a national service. The highest fee he found was
from Illinois-based LRS Sports that would cost “about $25,000.”
Lyles said he spoke to both Gibson and Kelly about the $25,000 fee and both
approved.
“It was no problem,” Lyles said.
On Feb. 3, 2010, Seastrunk’s national letter of intent, complete with his
grandmother’s signature, came across the Ducks’ fax machine. Back in
Temple, Evelyn Seastrunk, unaware that her son had petitioned to take her
out of the process, was confused, according to Lyles.
“I don’t think she had enough knowledge to understand that he could sign
without her,” Lyles said. “She basically just kind of never knew, and she
felt that Oregon cheated some kind of way because they got him to sign the
letter of intent and she didn’t sign it.”

Marsh (committed to UCLA), Trovon Reed (committed to Auburn) and Lache
Seastrunk (committed to Oregon).

Lyles defended his role in the process saying he was just helping a player
with whom he had developed a “father-son” relationship.
“My motivation was because [Lache] wanted it done,” Lyles said. “He felt
that he wasn’t in control of his own process and he felt kind of handcuffed
. So, he wanted to free himself from that. So, for him to be able to do that
, I needed to find out the information to help him with it.”
Lache Seastrunk could not be reached for comment.
He says he now has a greater appreciation for what that meant to Oregon.
“At the time, I felt it was important [to Oregon] but I didn’t realize how
important it was,”; Lyles said. “I didn’t know how major it was as far
as their motivation for wanting to get that kid was.
“I understand it a lot better now. … They got a top-tier recruit.”
Lyles’ new company would wind up with just three clients. In addition to
Oregon’s $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 doesn’t 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.
In early February 2011, he said Kelly verbally agreed to re-up for another
year with CSS at $25,000. He said Oregon asked for an invoice and then
forwarded the bylaws requiring written information.
“They said for the next year I have to do this,” Lyles said.
The mood began to change on Feb. 17 when Lyles said Kelly and assistant
coach Gibson called him and expressed concern about the lack of printed
scouting material he had provided to the school. Lyles said they requested
printed reports on Class of 2011 prep prospects, ones that had already
signed letters of intent, as soon as possible. Lyles’ phone records show a
12-minute call from Kelly and an eight-minute call from Gibson that day.
“It was like, ‘Hey Will, we need to get some player evaluations and send
it as soon as you can,’” Lyles said. “I didn’t really know why, but they
were like, ‘Get everything you have and turn it in.’ They were on my ass
about it.
“So I just threw it together.”
Lyles said he took old profiles off a computer, copied some information from
elsewhere and tried to accumulate a last-minute recruiting package. He said
he never bothered to consider the quality because he felt Oregon didn’t
care, they just needed to show something, he assumed, to some bean counter
in Eugene.
On Feb. 22 he sent in his “2010 National High School Evaluation Booklet”
which featured 140 player profiles, 133 of them from Texas. Almost all the
players were from the Class of 2009 and had already chosen colleges.
“One of the kids is dead,” Lyles said. “I didn’t know he was dead.”
Lyles believes Oregon was trying to retroactively comply with the rules. He
says in mid-February the football staff became aware of a pending Yahoo!
Sports investigation into its payment to Lyles and the Dallas-based scouting
service New Level Athletics.
“They were covering their tracks,” Lyles said. “They were covering their
asses. They were scrambling.”
Lyles spoke to Kelly on Feb. 28 for nine minutes, according to Lyles’ phone
records. On March 3, Yahoo! Sports printed its original report about the
school’s payments to scouting services. The two haven’t talked since,
Lyles said.
Lyles has maintained contact with Gibson, including a 94-minute call on June
2, according to phone records. Lyles said he asked Gibson about receiving
the $25,000 for the 2011-12 service that Kelly had promised. Gibson wouldn’
t commit. He later called Clever, the compliance director, about the same
issue. Lyles now doubts Oregon will pay.
“I spoke with Josh and I asked him about [the next payment], and he was
saying that, ‘Well, you know, we can’t do anything right now,’” Lyles
said. “Basically, they pushed me off. I would ask, like, you know, when am
I going to get paid? I asked those questions and they just kind of just kept
pushing me back, pushing me back, pushing me back.
“Until I called [Assistant Athletic Director of Compliance] Bill Clever on
the phone and asked him. I said, ‘I sent the invoice to the football office
.’ And he didn’t know what I was talking about.”
Without a client and his name now “mud,” Lyles considers Complete Scouting
Services and his professional role in college football to be over.
“It’s a dead business,” he said.
Lyles said the past four months have provided clarity on the situation.
While he said he never thought he was acting improperly, he understands
lines may have been crossed. Whether any NCAA rules were broken that could
affect Oregon hardly matters to him. Lyles has lost his business and
reputation.
“But those aren’t my rules,” Lyles said. “Those are the NCAA’s rules.
Those are Oregon’s rules.”
Lyles said his chief regret is not studying the NCAA bylaws to avoid
mistakes that created this scandal. That and trusting that Oregon was
chiefly interested in his role as a talent scout, not a recruiting
facilitator.
“I’m very disappointed in the way the situation was handled,” Lyles said.
“If people would just be honest about the things that are going on and
what they’re doing – or what their intentions might be – it would have
made a huge difference. It’;s tough to feel like you’ve been used and you
’ve been thrown away.
“I felt like my throat was cut and I was left to bleed to death. I felt
that there would be some sense of loyalty to me, because I felt I provided a
great [recruiting] service.
“In retrospect, it might have never been about the service.”
