Quack Fix: Ducks uncompetitive in loss to ASU, Ducks to get visit from Dillon Baxter and other recruiting notes

PrintAh, the Friday quack fix, where I get to recap another Oregon basketball loss. It's like a flash back to last season.
- The Ducks fell to ASU last night, and never held the lead once. ASU led 16-5 early, and never looked back, eventually beating the Ducks 76-57. For a Pac-10 season that started out so well, the Ducks season seems to be slipping away. Bob Clark starts out his game recap with the sentence, "Is Oregon’s season already on the brink?" And while that might be a bit overdramatic, the Ducks early two wins seem like a long time after, after two poor performances. The Ducks will need to come back with a strong performance against Arizona on Saturday, or else they'll be sitting at 2-3 in conference without any momentum.
- It looks like USC's first commit of the 2010 class, ATH Dillon Baxter, is serious about re-opening his commitment after the departure of Pete Carroll. Baxter has the ability to play any position, and will even get a shot at QB. Baxter is set to be in Eugene this weekend, and has a final three teams of USC, Oregon, and Florida.
- In other recruiting news, there are some rumors floating around that the Ducks have picked up a recruit, and the popular name is Lache Seastrunk (Update: who will announcing his school decision on 1/27). While a possibility, another good guess would be Erick Dargan, who I expect will be a Duck.
- Owamagbe Odighizuwa has narrowed his school choices to three (paid article), to Oregon, UCLA, and Nebraska. So he dropped OSU from his schools, though few people outside of Corvallis expected him to end up at OSU. Beaver fans aren't taking it all that well.
- Lastly, the 2010 national championship odds have been released and Oregon comes in as the team with the 3rd highest odds, at 10/1. Honestly, this scares me. Being favored like this hasn't happened since 2001. How the Ducks handle the pressure and expectations will be a huge factor next season.
Got any comments on recruiting, or the fact that the oddsmakers have BSU's title shot at 12/1? Leave 'em below. GO DUCKS!

kudos on spelling Owa's full name correctly
I would expect it to be seastrunk as well actually based on the eerie calm around any news from him and his camp.

It's annoying as hell what Rickert did!
“Yeah, we just picked up a huge name commit, but I’m not saying who”. Damn!
Who needs the pistol when you have the TaZeR? Kenjon Barner, the Ducks officially licensed tazer since 2009.
I think Bob is just tempering his excitement after the Easely debacle.
It will be Seastrunk, but boy Easely would have been a one of the Ducks best pick ups. Seriously watch the guys high school tape. Incredible.
Hoping for Baxter will come too, I think the Carroll leaving might have opened his eyes to how petty college football can be.
A bit off topic but how is Urban Meyer getting so many recruits. I have my doubts he would even return next year to be honest. His backtracking struck me as a guy looking to maintain the recruiting class more than a guy that is looking to coach for the foreseeable future.

If Bob knows, he’s not sharing only because of a specific request by whoever the commit is.
Most likely, this recruit has told some of the media guys who his choice is, but they can’t tell anyone. So these goes go back to their boards and drop hints about it.
Easley was a special situation because he had Florida #1 forever and they just never offered him. He had tried to commit months ago but they wouldn’t take him. None of the other recruits are like that.

BAAAAXTEEERRRRRRR!!!
lol, i can’t stop thinking about the scene from anchor man when will ferrel’s dog baxter get’s punted off the bridge by jack black. hopefully jack black doesn’t bridge-punt your baxter away from you… or maybe we should start wishing he does get punted, because in the end, ferrell and baxter are reunited.
how bout my buckeyes being second on that list at 7/1? i’ve never believed in jinx’s though. if a team is good enough to get their or win a game or whatever, they’re going to.
also; Owamagbe Odighizuwa — greatest. name. ever.
Its not so much of a jinx as it is PRESSURE to do so.
Thats what always struck me about the Buckeyes is that they always play so tight, either Tressel wont let them even think about mistakes or the public puts the pressure on the team. But then they go to the Rose Bowl and just let loose. Pryor is throwing the ball around, running around, complete 360.
by My Name is Bryce on Jan 15, 2010 8:13 AM PST up reply actions
definately agree with you on that!
and that’s actually kind of my point. the reason a team loses is not because of some mythical jinx or bad hoax cast upon them by preseason love. it’s how a team reacts to it. a mature team will handle the pressure. a loose team will handle the pressure. it has nothing to do with any kind of black magic. it’s about those players and the way they approach the high expectations.
That’s true. A good sign for the Ducks is that they had a decent amount of hype (like the SI cover) and fought through some initial cockiness to make it to a BCS bowl.

osu went from one spectrum to the other in their back to back NCG appearences...
in 2006, they were too loosy goosey (sp?) and got wiped out by florida. in 2007, they went in with an all business type attitude and played too tight. the key is finding the right approach for the players you have. i’m sure CK will find that balance.

My favorite take on the Rose Bowl.
On 1080 the FAN in Portland they have the stupid whiner line (yes i have called at 2am when i was drunk). The guy says that Oregon clearly isn’t a top notch program yet and needs to stop with all the crazy uniforms and focus on recruiting the type of players the tOSU has.
I expect Chip Kelly heard this and slapped his forehead saying “Of Course!” and immediately signed every 5 star player out there.

Its remarkable
When we see guys listing us in their top 3 or 4 with programs like USC, Florida etc. ie. traditional powerhouse programs. Ten years ago that would have been relatively unheard of, I would have been excited to see one guy in the top 150 listing us. I like the way they have built this program, by building a second to none infrastructure (the facilities) that insures that we get these guys thinking seriously about coming to cold, rainy Eugene with less tradition than those other guys. This program has come a long way, and only in my wildest dreams 20 years ago, would we have been to the point we are now. I really hope Chip can get us over the hump by snagging these top recruits rather than imply being in their top 3. I am cautiously optimistic.

The Metro League…ha ha, reminds me.

We can’t compete…sniff, sniff…they’re so much bigger schools…sniff, sniff.
I said it was a cop out and a terrible example for the kids. My evidence? The Crook County Cowboys – from Prineville for christ’s sake – had won the 4A (as high as it went back then) state championship just a few years earlier.

I think it had a lot to do with the other team being a very good football team in their own right and keying on him as their star player the potential is definitely there.
I watched some of their tape and Lattimore looks like he has no lateral moves
Dontae Williams and Seastrunk both were pretty awesome (50 Yard + runs) but Lattimore only had 10 yarders. Whatever that means

Stronger runners find way more success in the NFL than shifty runners.
At college, either works. Shifty has more flash and will typically give more highlights.
With that said, we have 3 years of LMJ, a bruiser would be way better as a change of pace back.

There was nothing better than JStew's power
automatic 4 yards every time. We starting calling 4 yards a no gain. I love me some 2nd and 6. love me some power backs.
I Don't Yell O I SCREAM!
However you have to admit that JStew
Had power and shiftiness. LGB as good as he was definately needed some time to get up to his full speed. A fair portion of his carries went for no gain or a loss. And then he would run over someone and jump over the next guy for 12 yards.
Lattimore is a great back, there is no doubt about that. But lateral quickiness is paramount with the zone blocking attack the Ducks employ. It also allows to back to limit the amount of hits he must take. Without a fullback leading the back through the hole, the running back must make quick cuts and accelerate. Its the reason a back like Toby Gearhart would still be successful in the spread, but would not be as successful as he is with a fullback, a great fullback in his case, leading the way.
by My Name is Bryce on Jan 15, 2010 2:36 PM PST up reply actions
I don’t buy that Blount didn’t have lateral quickness. He was too big to hit a small hole, and he didn’t have the quickness of LMJ… no doubt… but I think his leap TD in the ’08 Boise State game showed he has good quickness. Against Stanford, he had a huge run with some good lateral movements.
JStew had better vision than Blount (And arguably a better OLine). Was Blount as quick? Nah. But Blount wasn’t some slouch.
Also, JStew relied on his power more in ’07, and he was better for it. He tried to make stuff happen by “quickness” in ’05 and ’06, and ’07 was easily the better year for him.

He sucked, all right.
Sucked the wind and life out of anyone who dared make a weak attempt at a tackle.
Sanders had the best YAC ever, I’ll bet.
those who do not remember history should read my blog...
There is a photo of Barry Sanders dribbling a soccer ball inside Portland Indoor Soccer,
Besides the fact that it is odd, in a hmm, what the fuck was Barry Sanders doing here in this 3rd rate, poorly equipped amateur sports venue sort of way, it also just doesn’t look natural. It looks like he might have had no idea how to dribble a soccer ball.
So maybe, just maybe he sucked at that.
Seems like he had the other sport down, pretty natural at that one, pretty good.

And the difference between now and then?
He has no Brooks. Teams can focus on shutting him down, now. Armstead can be the Brooks to Porter, if they actually let Armstead handle the ball and run the offense. When TP walks up and jacks up a 3, or takes the first pass from Armstead and does the same…you’re in trouble.
by Brian Floyd on Jan 15, 2010 11:31 AM PST up reply actions
Here is my problem with TP
I actually don’t mind his offense. Sure he can shoot you out of games, but he can also just as quickly shoot you right into one too. With shooters you have to take the good with the bad. I agree I would rather Armstud handle the ball more, but all in all I really don’t mind his offense.
His defense makes we want to throw my remote thru my TV. Watch TP get screened. He gets swallowed up and make ZERO effort to get around or thru it. Watch TP off the ball. Flat footed would be a compliment in my opinion. Half the time I’m expecting him to just sit down cross legged at the top of the key and wait for Oregon to get the ball back. Oregon has no chance of being able shut people down when he is in the game. In all honesty I think Oregon would have a better chance going 4 on 5 because at least they would KNOW they don’t have another defender out there.
I call him Malcolm Arm-stud!
Addicted to Quack
Agree with his defense
And it’ll never be easy for a 5’6 kid to be good on the defensive end, unless they work their butt off. With the talent in the league at that spot, guys are gonna work him unless he puts it out there.
I’m glad you get that he can shoot you in or out of games. That’s just something you have to accept and get over with TP because it’s been that way for years. On the other hand, he’s more likely to get open looks and not disrupt the offense by jacking up dumb shots if Armstead is running the show. You’ve got a beast in Dunnigan and not getting him looks, other than him getting boards off those 30 footers than clank, isn’t a good way to run an offense. The Washington games, Armstead ran the show, to good results. TP would probably do better if Armstead was getting him open looks, instead of having TP try to create by himself.

Yes, but to be a threat he has to be less predictable.
Not as easy to choke the lane off when you have a slasher, like Brooks, or say Alex Scales even, who can drive with either hand and shoot or dish.
Early in AB’s career the book was “make him drive left.” Once he developed the drive from either side he turned into an NBA-level threat.
Armstead can get there, he is a stud. But if EK is going to teach him he may only have a few games left to get the message across.

He was wih Saban at both LSU and with the Dolphins
He had never even been a coordinator before taking over at LT.
To be fair to Dooley, the year before he came they went 3-10.

Better record than Kiffin had
Before he was Tennessee head coach.

Kiffin
here’s betting that the Patriots hire him after he goes 8-5 at USC next year.

Looks sorta like an older/tanner Michael Cera.
Only losing THREE starters from the USC game. (Offense and Defense)
Ladies and Gentlemen your 2010-11 Oregon Ducks.

This sounds like a cry for help.
The University of Tennessee needs an intervention, We may need to put the Vols on suicide watch after this act of desperation.
Don’t do it Tennessee, don’t seriously hire Dooley! You have so much more to play for!
Who needs the pistol when you have the TaZeR? Kenjon Barner, the Ducks officially licensed tazer since 2009.

Considering he was a senior...
It was that or the CFL

Actually he only played 1 game in 2007 due to injuries
So apparently he could have come back.

I think his baseball eligibility would screw his football eligibility
Probably couldn’t get a medical redshirt….but the academic year makes more sense. Probably was a RS Jr. and not a senior.

Are trying to figure out who Dooley is

Tennessee's new coach. I knew that name was familiar

Any word on when Dargan will commit?
All of his visits are over, and he did not seem to be too enthralled with UCLA. I really like our chances with getting him to commit.

Cute, but based on a Cheap Shot
Obviously it’s not Porter’s man – it’s the other guard’s. When your man drives to the hoop, help is supposed to come from the front court, not from the other guard.
Flat-footed? These are basketball players, not ballerinas.
It was, at best, an ignorant cheap shot on the main page, and I appreciate you turning it into a cute joke, like JonathanPDX did!
True Duck Fan
Well, I do like our chances with Owa.
We have an in-home visit on the 18th, and I don’t believe that he has any officials scheduled after that. It is always nice to get the last shot at a prospect. He is an explosive DE with a great motor, we could sure use him!
