Quack Fix: Signing day approaches, kicker commits to Oregon, Blount and Dickson complete Senior Bowl week

After an exciting weekend of Duck basketball, Duck football takes center stage this week as national signing day is Wednesday. On to the quack!
- Lache Seastrunk's hometown paper has an article on his commitment to Oregon. Seastrunk had a lot of good things to say about Coach Kelly, and Autzen as well. Also fun: the Ducks have commitments from the top two running backs in Texas.
- In other recruiting news, kicker Alejandro Maldonado, who was previously verbally committed to UW, has switched his commitment to Oregon. Maldonado is ranked from 7th-30th by various recruiting services, and looks to compete against Mike Bowlin and Rob Beard. Maldonado committed after visiting campus this weekend. Also visiting this weekend was Eric Dungy, son of Tony Dungy.
- The Oregonian is helping us get to know some future Duck commits. In their running series, they profile JC commits OL Ryan Clanton and TE Brandon Williams, who are both already on campus. Also, they look at North Carolina's CB James Scales and LB Chris McCain. However, McCain's commitment status is uncertain right now, and he will be re-picking his school of choice on Wednesday.
- LeGarrette Blount and Ed Dickson and good showings in the Senior Bowl over the weekend. Blount finished with 35 yards on seven carries and scored a touchdown, while Dickson caught a 31-yard pass from OSU's Sean Canfield. While the game itself is important, more important is the week of practice leading up to the game, and both players positioned themselves well for the draft. Dickson figures to be a second or third round pick, based on his exceptional pass catch ability. He will have a tough time rising above that as he is not an elite blocker. After Blount's performance, he will almost certainly be drafted, and maybe as high as the 5th round, with an ability to improve that at the combine. However, Blount did have his issues during the week, and will have a hard time rising above the 3rd round.
- Ken Goe has a farewell to Rich Brooks, after he recently retired from Kentucky. Goe writes about Brooks' legacy of taking perennial losers, and leaving them in much better shape than he found them. While he won't be remembered all that much outside of Oregon or Kentucky,
- SBNation's Chris Dobbertean has this week's Bracketology. The Pac-10 is still a one-bid league, with Cal slated to hold an 11-seed. I don't even know if there are words to describe just how pathetic the Pac-10 is this year. Leagues I didn't even know existed are going to have more bids to the tourney than the Pac-10.
- Lastly, baseball is right around the corner, and the Ducks look to improve from the Pac-10 worst record last year. Leading the way will be pitcher Drew Gagnier, who was recently named to the Preseason Stopper of the Year Watch List. This award will go to the top relief pitcher in NCAA baseball.
Got anything else you want to discuss or share? Leave it below. GO DUCKS!

My favorite quote from the Lache article is the one where Lache says Oregon is louder than LSU

Did he even visit a game?
I thought he cancelled his UO vs USC visit and was only around for Rose Bowl prep.
LaMichael James + Kenjon Barner + Lache Seastrunk + Dontae Williams + Remene Alston + Kenaon Lowe + ...
I don’t think he visited during a game. But anyone who watches oregon on tv can tell how loud we are.

the person sitting next to me at the USC game had a decibel-meter.
it was entertaining to watch it nearly go off the charts at times.
Proud winner of the 2009 ATQ Jersey Contest
How high did it go?
I was the ASU game in 2007 where the measured it at above 127 Db or just slightly quieter than the 130 Db produced by a jet engine takeoff.
"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
So tired
I’m so tired of the jet engine comparison! So where is the measurement of a jet engine being taken from? Right next to the intake port? Ten feet away? 100 feet? 100 yards? From the terminal? And how big of a jet? 727? 757? 747? SST? It’s a stupid analogy! How about just recalling the statements of visiting coaches and players saying it’s the loudest stadium they’ve ever experienced?
This is a good place to start: http://www.makeitlouder.com/Decibel%20Level%20Chart.txt
Remember that those charts are designed to give people a rough comparison to real world objects for loudness. It isn’t designed to be exact although if you are interested in such things, several websites exist that talk in those specifics.

Autzen Stadium is where great teams go to die." - J. Brady McCullough, The Michigan Daily.
This.
Also to keep in mind is Decibel levels are very relative between distance (It’s 6 dB less for every doubling of distance, or vice versa, 6dBs more for every half the distance. So if you hear something that is 100dB from 10 feet away, at 20 feet away it would be 94dB. At 40 feet, it is 88dB.
In addition, barometric pressure also influences dB readings.
And finally, decibel levels are not exactly a measurement, but a ratio. So you need some sort of baseline. This is why when you use a sound system, it might will say something like -20dB, when it is actually quite loud. That’s because it is -20dB of what it was recorded at.
Most decibel ratings in regards to sound measurement get their baseline from someone deciding what is “barely audible”. This can differ dramatically between younger and older people, by as much as 10kHz, and the current barometric pressure.

Well, you can’t really blame that response on Husky fans. It’s not like they had any reason to pay attention to recruiting for the past 7 years. So when they weren’t paying attention, “the league has entered into a new period of ultra aggresiveness [sic].”

Furd just hired Vic Fangio (former Ravens LB Coach)
To be his new DC. Says Ted: http://espn.go.com/blog/pac10
A bit about Vic:
Vic Fangio was named the team’s linebackers coach in January 2009. Fangio, one of six assistant coaches retained by John Harbaugh in 2008, spent 11 years in the NFL as a defensive coordinator for three teams (Carolina, Indianapolis and Houston). Prior to joining the Ravens in 2006, Fangio-coordinated defensive units led the league or were in the top three in seven or more major statistical categories. His defenses ranked in the top seven in the takeaway category three times (1995-96, 1998). Coached the "Dome Patrol," the stellar corps of LBs that led the Saints’ defense: Ricky Jackson, Pat Swilling, Sam Mills and Vaughan Johnson.

Did anyon else see that high snap during the Senior Bowl?
It went, literally 10 yards over the head of Jarrett Brown. This is coming from a former center myself. That was the worst snap I have ever seen at any level.

It is scientific fact that sea monters do not in fact swallow people whole. They much prefer, instead, to crack open their skulls and drink the sweet nectar inside.

King
Bob rickert said in one of his comments that he’s heard that King wants back in at Oregon, but that the uo coaches may not be interested. If it won’t give us a recruiting violation, I say we let him back in (assuming he wants back in – which is a big assumption)
by westspec on Feb 1, 2010 10:42 AM PST via mobile reply actions
I trust the judgment of the coaching staff on this one. They’ve been around this kid a lot over the past few months, and likely know him pretty well. They know if he will fit well in what the coaching staff is trying to build.
From what I’ve been hearing, the coaching staff is tired of the game with him. The coaching staff is obviously not worried about depth or the DE situation, if they’ve withheld this offer, and that makes me feel pretty good about the DL situation.

Another thing to realize is Moseley’s latest article.

The coaches must know something, as the 3rd is right around the corner. You can make an assumption that we’re gaining 3 scholarships from the locker cleanout tweet. But there could be some surprises that the coaches know about.

Right,
So there are 18-20 spots filled depending on how many actually enroll here (always gain a few and lose a few).
It seems as if we have a really good chance at signing Erick Dargan, and a decent shot at Werner. A mediocre chance at Heimuli and Jefferson, and nobody knows whats going on with King. Not to mention, it seems like if we offer Dungy, he will probably commit to UO (and hopefully Tony Dungy would get involved with the program as an added bonus).
I’m sure that there will be some surprise commits and de-commits, so it will be exciting to see exactly how these things shake out on the 3rd. Until then, its all speculation by people like myself who have no legitimate info whatsoever regarding whats actually going on in recruiting :)

Or are you just speculating?
Clearly, Alston will not get much playing time this season. But as Dom said above, he is a senior. So I don’t personally see him transferring anywhere.

"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
my only source is my intuition and whatever info i can get out of moseley.
but i think the kid is someone who A) isn’t a huge leadership guy outside of being a senior and B) would like some playing time other than being a career backup.

I don’t know if the two are necessarily intertwined. Kelly seems like he’s a pretty big character guy. If his read on King is that there will be problems, then he could easily withhold the scholarship offer even though King could potentially help the D-Line.
I’m fine with that. It doesn’t make me worry less about the D-Line, but it does give me confidence that Kelly’s not going to tolerate funny business on his team.
Defending maligned chants since 2009
I’m tired of his games and I trust the coaching staff as well. But if he truly is ready to commit, then I think we should give him another chance. Its not just about this upcoming season, but 2011.
I fully support Kelly’s approach to recruits like Uko, who kind of toy with us while telling USC he’s a lock. But to someone like King who seems genuinely torn (while the coaching staff prob knows better than I do), I think they should be more open to giving him another chance.
by westspec on Feb 1, 2010 11:30 AM PST via mobile up reply actions
Recruiting is a lot more complicated then people tend to understand.
Its not like the coaches only offered DLine scholarships to guys like Werner, Owa, and King and then if all those guys turn them down they have no backup options. Im sure they have offered conditional, backup scholarships to lesser known players in the case that the higher rated guys dont sign. Obviously these wouldn’t be public because the players arent offered officially.
We really dont know all the facts.

Barf, NCAA set to expand March Madness
Link: Sources: 96-Team March Madness Is “Done Deal”
Quote:
An ESPN source said, “It’s a done deal with the expansion of the tournament. Depending on how soon a (TV) deal is done, the added teams could start next year. The NCAA confirmed that bidders would be interested in 96 teams, so they’re going with it.”
Another ESPN source confirmed to me that the network was in the formative stages of pondering a bid for the expanded tournament.
John Ourand and Michael Smith of SPORTSBUSINESS JOURNAL reported this morning that if the NCAA opts out of its current broadcast rights deal with CBS, the governing body will consider, “expanding from a 65-team tournament to either 68 or 96 teams.”
The NCAA-CBS broadcast rights contract has three years and $2.131 billion remaining. SBJ reports, “the NCAA has until Aug. 31 to exercise its right, though it hopes to conclude the process much earlier.”
A 68-team field would add three games to the current 65-team format, and a 96-team field would add 31 games to the tourney.

Ever rubbed a dog's fur the wrong way? They don't like it.
UWdawgpound really gets their panties in a bunch when we steal a “not very important recruit.”
Now our coaches are liars, our players are thugs and theives, Oregon can’t and shouldn’t have recruited nationally, guys UW had offers and commits from are no longer really good and not necessary, Chip Kelly is not liked by high school coaches and Oregon’s program is headed for disaster.
Personally, I want us to steal a couple more of their recruits, bury them on the depth chart behind 4 and 5 star national recruits just to piss those guys off more. It’s fun watching the dog chase his tail when you’ve taken his bone.

Meh.
I cant say that I am surprised to hear this. Although, Saban is one hell of a recruiter, I say that there is a good chance that he stays with Alabama. If he does not, lets hope he stays out of the Pac-10.

Cal is such an odd team
They always have all the pieces (put a lot of guys in the NFL) but they never seem to put it all together and get to a BCS bowl.

Yep.
They bring in very good classes every year, start out great every year, then proceed to fall apart into mediocrity every year.
I must not understand the appeal.

From a Cal fan’s perspective. We’ve got the shittiest luck you can get.
2004 – We outplayed USC all the way until the very last two snaps where we had a receiver slip and a ball go right through a receiver. And then Mack Brown happened.
2005 – We played a fresh JUCO QB who had no right to play in a BCS conference.
2006 – A stupid PI call on a pick six, Desean Jackson’s big toe stepping out of bounds, Hawkins slipping on grass at the 1 all @ Ariz. These all stopped us from winning the Pac-10
2007 – We were not good defensively. We got overhyped. And then you guys broke Longshore’s ankle and we sucked on offense too.
2008 – Rebuilding year. New receivers. QB controversy. Injury plagued O-line.
2009 – overhyped. We lose the gut of our defense from last year, one of our better corner gets injured and has trouble. O-line is worse than ever thanks to new coach (effing Raiders) and loss of Alex Mack.
That’s how you explain it
In other words, Go Bears!
That wasn’t luck. That was skill.
By shitty luck I mean the fact that the guy who caused the fumble (Ezeff) didn’t play this year because he had to focus on his classes instead. We could’ve used him :(
Also one example isn’t enough data points.
In other words, Go Bears!
Shitty luck?
Exhibit A: Dixon, Dennis re: Knee
Exhibit B: AP: ranked #2. Coaches: ranked #2. BCS: Ranked #4??? WTF?

I’d guess he’s Alabama too, but Allen is one of the three North Carolina friends. James Scales, (Oregon verbal) Chris McCain (Oregon verbal). It is my understanding Allen has been VERY high on Oregon, but he’s been forbidden to go to Oregon by parental figures.
It is also my understanding, these three guys are also close with Gabe King.
Friends can be very persuasive, and all/most of them have been interested in Cal.

Rip Torn is my hero
Once Rip Torn sobers up, he might be able to tell us. Because he got arrested after doing so last night.
State police responded to an alarm at the Litchfield Bancorp building in Salisbury, CT at 9:40 PM last night. Police say they found Torn “with a loaded revolver” and he was “highly intoxicated.” Law enforcement sources tell us Torn gained access through a broken window, which they believe Torn broke himself. Torn was taken to the Troop B barracks in North Canaan and is being held on $100,000 bond. Cops say Torn was charged with carrying a pistol without a permit, carrying a firearm while intoxicated, first-degree burglary, first-degree criminal trespass and third-degree criminal mischief

He had a greyshirt offer from FSU
Which was his dream school, so if he came here he must have had a better offer….
I heard that his FSU offer was no longer on the table.

Could you imagine the recruits
if we had Dungy as DC?
I really want to,
But i’m sure that it will not happen.

Isn’t he the unofficial official ambassador of football?

I thought the owner of the Steelers was considered the unofficial ambassador of football...
Either way, it would be great to see Dungy get involved in the program in a few ways (even though I doubt he will). Imagine the results if he went on in home visits with Coach Kelly. We seriously would be a recruiting juggernaut, no parent would want their kid to go anywhere else but UO.

Perhaps you didn’t see that I said the Unofficial Official Ambassador. I’ve seen the NBC Sunday Night Football telecast and that’s what his title says on there.
But yes, it’d be great to have him looking this way.
