Morning Quack Fix: 1.30.09

PrintAfter a few dull days, there's a surprising amount of Duck news out this morning, so let's get the fix a rollin':
- We're 5 days away from signing day, and the Register Guard has a good recap of where the Ducks stand. Oregon seems to be pretty set on defense, but is still pursuing on the offensive side of the ball. They are still pursuing Bryce Brown at running back, and the following receivers: Diante Jackson (verbal to Colorado), Markus Wheaton (verbal to Oregon State), Adam Hall (who will be announcing today, at 10am PST), and JC Tyrece Gaines. Oregon really needs to decent depth at WR, so getting even two of those would be great news.
- John Hunt points out that there's another reason that Chip Kelly hasn't been named coach: Doing so would limit his in home visits. If a change will be made, it will most likely be before spring ball.
- With the 2009 recruiting class almost done, some are already looking to 2010. If you haven't noticed, DucksAttack.com has had an insane amount of 2010 news lately. Today's latest piece is on a safety from Florida whose dream school is Oregon. If you're interested in all that, make sure to check out their recent stuff.
- In Bryce Brown news, Doc Saturday gives his take on the new Miami OC. And he seems to echo everyone else, that this is a great hire. Whittle is drawing Chip Kelly comparisons, not necessarily in offensive scheme, but in coming from a smaller school and being an awesome coach. Also, Bruce Feldman has a long blog entry on Bryce Brown's mentor, Brian Butler. If you ask me, it seems like a very weird relationship. The guy is definitely turning a few bucks off this arangement, which is a bit odd, as he's helping Brown figure out where to go to school.
- Around the Pac-10, UW already has their second recruiting violation of the new regime. The more things change, the more they stay the same.
- It's three weeks until Oregon baseball starts. Coach Horton's excited to get back to actual coaching, rather than just recruiting and organizing. It'll be exciting to see what he can do over an entire season. It's an odd feeling to look forward to coaching, after the basketball season we've been subjected to.
- Lastly, the University has built up a good financial cushion, that will provide stability during the recession.
As always, leave any new links, news, or thoughts in the comments. Go Ducks!

Money, money, money, money...

At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.
Speaking of that
Here’s an article in the Oregonian talking about the fundraising efforts at the UO and talks about where the money goes. There is also some commentary on being sensitive to the current economic climate

Is that even real?
I mean, I don’t want to get into details but who ACTUALLY “invites” good old “Carl” to the party in real life? (Please don’t tell me if you do.)
I should clarify that my friend and I use that phrase as an auto-subject change, and only that.

I’m undertanding less and less of the posts in here. I guess I need an ATQ-to-english dictionary.
Yes your ass looks big, you need to lose weight. Sorry, had to vent.
just say to yourself “kids today” and walk away shaking your head. That is what I’m doing.

Did you see the Peniel Jean Vid?
I do not want to be hit by that guy, ever. Whap Whap! And its a great sign for our program that guys from FL want to be a Duck.
Ducks Go!
694, bam!
I’m guessing he’s asking about “Peniel Jean” – more specifically “Peniel”
It's spelled "S-H-U-G-S-D-E-A-D-H-Y-D-R-O-S"
On the Hall to Arizona thread over at Moseley's...
…some people are getting way too worked up about our lack of depth at Receiver. It isn’t even signing day yet, we’re still hot on the trail of 2 good receivers, and a couple of them are already jumpers for the year.

Seriously...
It’s one freaking class. We have decent depth for next season. Beyond that, we’ll need to pick up some players, but it’s far from the end of the world.
And let’s look at it this way. We though Jaison Williams would carry the load, and he did jack squat this year. Terrence Scott picked up the load, when we didn’t expect much. For the next 2 years we have Holland, Maehl, Davis, Dickon/Lewis, Dion Jordan. I think that will be awesome in this offense
So everyone needs to knock it off and stop crapping their pants over nothing. It’s ONE FREAKING RECRUIT. Even if we don’t get any others, we’ll be fine.

Drew Davis and Malachi Lewis will be total badasses by their Senior years.

Harper?
Do we think Harper will a good receiver?
I think he will be. Probably not a leading receiver, but a target for 6 to 8 catches/carries a game. Maybe? Am I crazy?

Rob Moseley did a post a few weeks ago...
Saying that he’d likely stay at receiver, but play the DMC slot in a Wildcat form, possibly. It’s basically all about getting the ball in his hands, he’s a playmaker kid. He may not be built like a receiver, and may have an amputee’s arm to throw with, the ball in his hands will always be dangerous.

Yeah, I totally overlooked him because he wasn’t listed under a wide receiver on the roster…
Really, we’ll be fine for the next couple years. I mean, we can’t go 3-4 years without receivers, but we’re not getting any QBs this year either, and we’ll be just dandy there.

Will Harper stay in Eugene long enough to see if he becomes a good receiver is the real question
I support Takimoto in his effort to support Roger Kieschnick in his quest to becoming the best Kieschnick ever to play professional baseball.

I don’t understand why this is even still an issue? Wasn’t this whole theory discounted several times?

I would imagine...
If he was going to transfer…he should have done it long ago.
--AddictedToQuack, SBNation's Oregon Ducks blog
He will stay in Eugene, Kenny.
And don’t let anyone, anywhere tell you otherwise.

I also love...
How after we don’t get 2 freaking guys…people are like “We can’t get anyone.” Please, shut up.
--AddictedToQuack, SBNation's Oregon Ducks blog
buh buh
Pryor and Boyd and Hall…OMG we are done!
Totally agree. We are a great program in great shape for next year and many years to come. Hell we could get three great WR next year and be fine. We could get two 3* that work hard and we could be fine. I am happy with the guys we get, all the linemen, boyeah
Ducks Go!
694, bam!
Jeremiah Johnson and Jeremiah Masoli were two 3* players, too.

Not to mention Nate Costa.

Yeah, screw those nay sayers.
We’ll probably be a top-five rushing offense the next three years anyways. So next recruiting season we’ll win those battles for top WRs because we’ll likely have playing time to compete for. If there’s one theme I think is emerging this year it’s that some of these ultra-hyped guys want to get on the field now.
Blame it on college basketball, where freshman superstars continue to have a big impact then get rich.
This recruiting class is fine. I LOVE that we’ve got some kick ass linebackers coming in. And I cannot believe the people that continue to discount the fact that we landed a top kicker and THE top punter very early. That stuff matters!
At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.
Yes, yes it does.
Though it should be said that the Kicker, Mike Bowlin, is only rated top-5 everywhere I look, and the top punter, Jackson Rice, was a kicker/punter in high school, much like ASU’s Thomas Weber.
No less, special teams will be solid for a few years. I wouldn’t be surprised to see Bowlin redshirt, let resident superman M-Flint finish off his Senior year, then 4 years of Bowlin.
4 years of Bowlin? Sounds like we may pick up a commitment from The Dude as a fan.

You could even be more specific
and blame it on Duck college basketball. It isn’t worth much following this season, so everybody’s still fixated on the football team.
Here’s a post by Doc Saturday on Oregon’s recent fundraising…
