Oregon running back LaMichael James was on 1310 The Ticket on Friday and finally gave his reason for selecting the Ducks over the Horned Frogs.
In an interview with Dallas radio station 1310 The Ticket, James said that the reason he was turned off by TCU came on his official visit. According to the star tailback, a coach- whom he would not specify- called him "LaMarcus" the entire weekend.
Feeling disrespected, James then turned his attention out of state to the Ducks, and the rest is college football history.
In the grand scheme of things, it’s not that big of a deal. TCU went to back to back BCS Bowl games and finished 13-0 in 2010. On the downside, TCU missed out on a big time recruit because they couldn’t get something as simple as his name right.
I know the coaches have a lot of recruits to keep up with, but it just seems like the players name would be something you could easily remember. If I was the recruit, I would feel disrespected.
