After the Oregon Ducks' 70-21 loss to Washington last weekend, offensive lineman Cameron Hunt didn't mince words with The Register-Guard reporter Austin Meek.

"We've got some guys on our team who are busting their tails to win and other guys on our team that don't even care if we win or lose," Hunt told Meek, estimating 30 to 40 percent of the team falls into the latter category. "I don't think everyone is bought-in."

The estimation has not been taken kindly by current Oregon commit and U.S. Army All-American cornerback Deommodore Lenoir, who used social media as a platform to let folks know the incoming talent was ready to approach things with a different mentality.

Well that mindset better change Fast because Spots Will Be Taken Period 💯 https://t.co/l8ME2Mp3u6 — D’MO (@Deommo_Lenoir) October 12, 2016

The 5-foot-11, 180-pound defensive back, out of Bishop Mora Salesian High School (Los Angeles, California), has been one of the more vocal commits and peer recruiters for the Ducks this season, appearing in the commitment video of fellow Oregon pledge Jaylon Redd last month.

Oregon is experiencing a rebuilding year, and possibly some locker room issues (if Hunt's comments are to be believed).

But Lenoir is making it clear that the 2017 recruiting class is going to compete and try to bring Oregon back to prominence in the Pac-12 Conference.

It's a message that Oregon fans are sure to appreciate.
