EastBayDuckDad Moderator No. 2 Share Posted February 25, 2023 Oregon Football: Traeshon Holden reinstated at after charges dropped DUCKSWIRE.USATODAY.COM Wide receiver Traeshon Holden has been reinstated at Oregon after all charges were dropped... Now confirmed by multiple sources. Lanning has essentially said that new information dictated the reversal. “Following the release of new information from the Lane County District Attorney’s office, student-athlete Traeshon Holden has been reinstated to the Oregon football team,” Dan Lanning said in a statement. “We will always take allegations of this nature very seriously. However, when new information is provided by authorities, such as in this instance, disciplinary action will be reevaluated and adjusted, when appropriate.” 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drake Moderator No. 6 Share Posted February 25, 2023 Not unexpected after all the charges were dropped. Glad the pendulum swings both ways when a young man is booted from the team for his alleged actions. I don’t mind Dan Lanning making an error in this case, as long as he is fair when he perhaps was too quick to be judge and jury. 1 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pennsylvania Duck Moderator No. 7 Share Posted February 25, 2023 BREAKING: WR Traeshon Holden reinstated at Oregon after arrest charges dropped After Holden was arrested on multiple charges last week, including Unlawful Possession of a Weapon, Menacing, and Coercion, he was quickly dismissed from the team, according to a statement from head coach Dan Lanning. However, the Eugene District Attorney later dropped all charges after reviewing EPD body camera footage and interviewing witnesses to the incident. On Friday, it was announced that Holden would be reinstated to the team.

12Duck72 No. 10 Share Posted February 25, 2023 Well now that this officially done. I think DL and Oregon handled this well. Once they were presented with new evidence they had enough integrity to change course. That's a good sign. A lot of people wouldn't have. My only question is why did he have a gun in the first place?

Kurt Rambis No. 11 Share Posted February 25, 2023 Situations like this really are a two-edged sword. The typical "We are aware of the situation and waiting to gather all the facts" often smacks of "Yeah, he was a bad boy, but he's a valuable player so we'll just wait until this blows over and pretend nothing happened." On the other hand, our nation's justice system has always been based on Innocent Until Proven Guilty, so it's concerning when someone is disciplined or released based only on an accusation. Personally, I would rather a coach or AD wait until the facts are in before issuing discipline. Seems to me DL jumped the gun on this one. Must have been awful for Holden to think he'd lost his place on the team if he hadn't done anything wrong. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haywarduck Moderator No. 12 Share Posted February 25, 2023 Let's hope this provides this young man even more fuel to prove he can live up to his dreams he had coming out of high school. Most of these transfers have bigger dreams than have been achieved. These kind of bumps in the road can either push them down, or be a pivot point to making the tough choices needed to become great. Make yourself great Traeshon. You got tripped up, get up, brush yourself off, and run better routes going forward. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We saw the learning curve last season with some controversial decisions on the field. Now he's learning the off the field decision making process. I have faith in him and still think he has a tremendous upside. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flyin Vee No. 14 Share Posted February 25, 2023 (edited) Is it political to say that “this young man may have been subject to “spin the wheel of charges” and arrested before an investigation was completed or even started.

HappyToBeADuck No. 15 Share Posted February 25, 2023 Genuinely happy that this situation turned out positive for this young man. I like DL's swift response in both directions. Showed the team, staff and school that their is no tolerance in his program for any indescretions. Showed the team, staff and school that he can swifty act when he may have made a snap, knee jerk reaction. He did not let his ego get in the way. Well done..... Now lets turn this into a positive on the field. Mistakes will be made, however growth comes thru learning and overcoming our mistakes. I hope that GK and the 10 presidents can get their egos out of the way and learn from their mistakes! Too much to ask? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is what I HATE about moderating, as people feel their need to stir the pot is more important than keeping the peace on the forum. NOBODY would want to deal with the crap I do every week.

I think Lanning sent a strong message of "walk away, don't put yourself in a potentially risky situation". Not a bad lesson for a group of young men to learn, IMO. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem, or it isn't a problem, we don't discuss these situations even though it is ripe for just that. As Charles has stated, if you have to mention any of the trigger words, it isn't worthy of hitting submit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a bad lesson for a group of young men to learn, IMO. According to the police Traeshon did try to ‘walk away’ (deescalate the conflict). The conflict was so severe and escalated so quickly that the police said it would have been appropriate for for him to use force to protect himself or others. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
