This is a very misleading and confusing article.  First of all, the kid can't "commit" in any kind of official capacity to play for UO.  He is a freshman in high school and nothing will be official until he signs a letter of intent his senior year.  Plenty of things could happen between now and then, including Taggart leaving UO.  

If the kid is good, UO will be happy to have him.  If he's not, Taggart will either let him down gently or bring him on as a walk on.  Since he's moving to Eugene, we can all show up and watch him play in HS and since we are all SO knowledgeable about football, we can decide for ourselves.  Either way, it's a non story designed to gin up more controversy about a coach that admittedly has brought some controversy on himself.
