Contrary to a report that was published last week, Oregon running back LaMichael James says he has not made the decision to forgo his senior season in favor of the NFL.

Perhaps James is merely delaying the inevitable. Who knows? What is known, at least according to coach Chip Kelly, is James requested draft analysis from the NFL to find out where stands as far as which round he might be selected should he declare. That process is common for any player considering turning pro. James heads into the Jan. 2 Rose Bowl game against Wisconsin as the nation’s leader in rushing yards per game with 149.6.

LaMichael James’ right elbow held up well against Washington State and says he's ready for Washington.

James says he shed the rust last week against the Cougars, carrying the ball 13 times for 53 yards. There was no swelling of his right elbow, which he dislocated against Cal on Oct. 6, and he felt comfortable.

Depending on how one interprets Oregon coach Chip Kelly’s remarks, then maybe LaMichael James will return for Saturday’s game at Colorado.

As tight a ship as Kelly runs when it comes to commenting on injured players, or at least providing meaningful updates on injured players, one can only guess where the coach was coming from in his "…for the game…" remarks regarding the star tailback.

LaMichael James - RB - Ducks

Oregon RB LaMichael James, who leads the NCAA in rushing, will face California's No. 9 ranked run defense Thursday, allowing an average of 78.3 yards per game.

"LaMichael just seems to be breaking more tackles," Bears coach Jeff Tedford said. "The other thing about him is that he starts so fast. There's no doubt that our hands are full." Oregon has won two straight in the series after losing the previous three meetings, including a near upset in last year's 15-13 road win. James had a difficult game with a season-worst 3.1 yard rushing average, and failed to reach the end zone for the only time in his last 16 games.

LaMichael James rushed for 204 yards and three touchdowns in an uncontested 56-7 win over Missouri State.

The numbers would have been even more impressive had the Ducks not opted to play backups in the third quarter. The three scores (1, 90, 50) give James 45 for his career, tying him with Derek Loville (class of 1990) for most in school history. The Ducks travel to Tucson to visit conference rival Arizona in Week 4.

Players from both Oregon and Oregon State have been taking to the track this offseason to work on their speed and conditioning and it seems to be working.  In the Husky Classic, Oregon State wide receiver Markus Wheaton and Oregon running backs Kenjon Barner and LaMichael James competed in the 60 meter dash.  Barner did not qualify while Wheaton finished seventh with 6.96 and James took second with a 6.88.

James, Barner, and Wheaton are known speedsters but it certainly helps that they are training to get faster.  James should put up another huge year while Barner will get his touches from time to time.  Wheaton should really breakout whether or not James Rodgers comes back fully healthy.
