Oregon has granted Lache Seastrunk, the main recruit in the Willie Lyles recruiting saga, his unconditional release.

Apparently this was at Seastrunk's request - we'll see if he haunts the program in the form of violations.

Oregon grants RB Seastrunk unconditional release

Lache Seastrunk, the running back connected to the probe into Oregon's use of Texas-based prep scouting service, has been granted his unconditional release by the No. 3 Ducks.

Questions were first raised about Seastrunk's status when he did not report for practice Saturday morning. Oregon coach Chip Kelly confirmed his release in the afternoon.
There was no immediate word as to why Seastrunk wanted to leave Oregon. A prep star at Temple High School in Texas, Seastrunk redshirted as a freshman last season.

Oregon paid Houston-based Willie Lyles and Complete Scouting Services $25,000 last year soon after Seastrunk committed to play for the Ducks. When Oregon released the recruiting material it received for the payment, much of the information appeared to be outdated.

Lyles has said in interviews he had a mentoring relationship with Seastrunk. It would be against NCAA rules if Lyles convinced the running back to go to Oregon.

The NCAA is investigating the matter.

"We wish Lache all the best in his future pursuits and will offer our complete assistance to him in his search to continue his football and educational career," Kelly said in a prepared statement on Saturday.

Here is the article about Seastrunk's from ESPN. The reasoning seems a bit odd IMO.

RB Lache Seastrunk granted release

Speaking before reporters following the Ducks' afternoon workout, Kelly said Seastrunk missed his grandmother back home. A prep star at Temple High School in Texas, Seastrunk redshirted as a freshman last season.

"Lache came in and I talked to him a little bit yesterday. He's a little bit homesick I think and he wants to be a little bit closer to his family," Kelly said. "I told him to take a night and think about it. I gave him off meetings last night and this morning's practice."
