"There was no quid pro quo," Lyles said, claiming no school, including Oregon, ever asked him to direct a player. "Never. It wouldn't make sense for me to help one school. I was trying to get every school to buy my service. That was my business."

That is not what he states right here in this statement about how he got James and Seastrunk signed with Oregon. This article tells the whole story of their recruitment and he says others.

Scout details relationship with Oregon, Kelly

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.

If he would do it to Oregon he will do it for all of them because like you said what he does for one he does for them all because that is his business. It will be up to the NCAA to decide if he played outside the lines or not. This started with Kelly saying he did not know lyles and what did Miles say? he said I do not know Lyles. If LSU does to him what Oregon did to him then it will have the same results. JMHO!
