Quack Fix: Basketball kicks off off tonight, Ducks expected to roll ASU

Well, it has been a rough week. The Stanford loss has really seemed to take the wind out of all our sails. However, basketball starts tonight, and the football team can get back on track tomorrow night, so let's get to today's quack.

That's all for now, as always, leave your comments and any other quack in the comments. GO DUCKS!

My cynical take

Yeah, but how long before we stop saying “it’s only a matter of time?” I realize this hasn’t been going on THAT long, but Oregon’s been in the mix for some big time recruits for a few years now, and always winds up being the also-ran.

Yeah, I’m grumpy and ready for this week to be over. Humbug.

I think you raise a good point but remember. We are WAY early in the recruiting season. I have faith, still some big names out there

It does start to take a toll after a while…

At least it is early and not draining on and on in the spring ala Bryce and Pryor.

can anyone remember a class deeper, earlier than this years that we already have verbals from?

btw, USC, Fla, etc lose out on tons of kids too.

Oregon’s recruits are of a good quality, but we are very very slow at actually getting commits. It was a problem last year too. Of all BCS conference schools, only Arizona St., Illinois, and UConn have less commitments than Oregon’s 10. Of course this is not the best way to measure recruiting success. But I am definitely a little worried about Oregon’s ability to fill out a deep recruiting class—the next step in our recruiting prowess may not be to just get the big 5 star guys, but to put together a class with guys like we have in the 2010 class, but more of them.

Nobody really knows how many commits we get until the LOI is in.

Right—but there’s little more predictive of recruiting numbers than verbal commit numbers and we are way behind, as we were at this time last year. The chances of getting more than a couple of last second switches is very low and certainly no higher than the chances of losing the guys we already have.

If I remember right, Chip is making all of the recruits take an official visit before they commit. This might have something to do with the low numbers

I don’t think we’re really taking all that many commits this year, so we’re on a great track to bring in the number of players the coaching staff wants.

Recrutiing tends to lag a year

If we do go to the Rose Bowl this year, we should get a big recruiting class next year. Happened after the 2005 season for example.

Where's the USC game thread in the archives?

I was trying to go back and find the USC game conversation threads, and while I found the pre-game and post-game -celebration threads, I could have sworn there was a 1000+ comment thread during the game. I’m not seeing it in the archives listing…or am I being a giant forgetful or blind dufus?

by gamedaytribe on Nov 13, 2009 10:43 AM PST reply actions   0 recs

Hmmm….It looks like no open threads show up in the archives, probably due to how we add open threads and how they are indexed by all SBNation sites.

I don't care if we win tomorrow by 3 or 53

As long as we win and Masoli/James don’t get hurt.

Osweiller is very very very tall

You’re going down dude!

Great!

That means his ears will be slightly closer to the Autzen crowd.
