Quack Fix: Getting to know some Oregon commits and a couple basketball notes

Well, I learned my lesson about betting against the Ducks.  I am back in time to deliver your Tuesday quack.  The best part?  It's free. Enjoy.

  • Moseley's piece in today's Register-Guard takes a look at the three JC members of this year's class (Isaac Remington, Ryan Clanton and Brandon Williams).  As the Jared noted in yesterday's quack, all three are already enrolled and in Eugene.  Moseley goes on to discuss each player's path to becoming a Duck.
  • In their continuing feature on future Ducks, The Oregonian today takes a look at Lache Seatrunk.  John Hunt ends the entry with the following note: "It’s possible that when the Ducks offense takes the field in 2011, it could include a quarterback (Darron Thomas) and three running backs (James, Seastrunk and fellow commit Dontae Williams) from Texas."  Looks good to me. 
  • Jason Hickman from MaxSports.com has a list of "Most likely to..." for prep football players about to sign.  Both Lache Seastrunk and Owamagbe Odighizuwa get a mention.
  • In a blog entry, Bob Clark notes the switch to a zone defense may have led to fewer personal fouls for the men's basketball team.  It also led to less money for Bradll99, joffthedeckk and myself.  Clark also has updates on both Joevan Catron and LeKendric Longmire, which basically amount to: "nothing new to report."  Though, we may know more about Longmire as soon as today. 
  • Mike Tokito blogs about the upcoming Civil War basketball game and points out why both teams desperately need this win.  Though, it appears that Tokito may not have been following Oregon basketball all that closely over the last five or six years as evidenced by his statement that this year's team  being the first to be swept by the Beavers since 1993 would be a "sign of trouble for Kent."  Talk about a drop in the bucket.

Sorry if I repeated any news that has already been discussed.  I haven't yet had a chance to try and catch up with all I missed over the last week.  And, if I forgot anything, feel free to add it below.  Go Ducks!

Lache Seatrunk

WOW! This is the first time I watched tape on the kid. He runs like every one else is standind still. He is going to break a ton of big runs for us. Very excited to get this kid.

He has a chance to be simply incredible in the Chip Kelly offense. We are getting some big time playmakers in this years class.

He thankfully picked the perfect offense for him.

He is obviously an outside east-west style of runner, and with his sped in this offense, he will create so many mismatches. It will be nice to have the fastest player on the field.

LaMichael James + Kenjon Barner + Lache Seastrunk + Dontae Williams + Remene Alston + Kenaon Lowe + ...

With that speed all he has to do is get past the d line and he has a chance just like James. I love our team.

i can't stand all the bronco love...

honestly, the wac is not a strong conference, and pairing boise against tcu in the bcs this past year was the dumbest thing ever. we can’t truly gauge how good the team is until they play the big boys. i can’t believe that you guys were at full strength, or at an all systems go type of level when you played them this past september. outside of that, they didn’t have a single impressive win against a bcs conference team.

to put them at #3 is lame, imo. obviously, that game against virginia tech at the beginning of the season next year will tell us a lot, but i won’t be surprised if boise gets rocked by the hokies.

by MarineCorpsDuck on Feb 2, 2010 12:21 PM PST up reply actions  

There are two things to keep in mind with how that pairing turned out.

One is that the BCS is not some single entity (although it’s moving in that direction). It’s basically a bowl cartel that said, among other things, “Hey, we’ll all agree to pick teams in this order, rotating every year.” The matchup wasn’t a conspiracy, it was the Orange Bowl wanting Iowa over BSU and the Fiesta Bowl thinking TCU-BSU would work better than TCU-Cincy.

The second thing is that that the SEC’s played mid-majors twice, and the Big 12 and Big East once each. If you want to say which of last year’s big boys should have played the BCS busters, it would probably be GT, us, or y’all.

About Boise, though? Yeah. Fuck Boize.

1. Seastrunk shines

Don’t be surprised to see Lache Seastrunk slicing up Pac-10 defenses very soon.ESPNU 150 running back Lache Seastrunk (Temple, Texas/Temple), who has slid in our positional rankings due to concerns about his abilities as an every-down back, will flourish in Eugene, Ore., as an underclassman. However, the Ducks already have the highly productive LaMichael James and are adding No. 13 running back Dontae Williams (Houston/Aldine) in this class, so Seastrunk won’t have to carry the load. Also, Chip Kelly’s offense caters to elusive backs who create mismatches in space and get to the perimeter. Seastrunk is a big play waiting to happen.

Pat Forde with his take on USC manager-gate

Link: A note to all managers: Shhhh

Quote:

Nobody had ever heard of Stan Holt before Saturday, when we found out that the USC basketball manager’s boss, coach Kevin O’Neill (2), was canning him. The fireable offense: being hit with a technical foul at a key juncture of the Trojans’ loss to Oregon.

It might be the fastest firing in college basketball history. Seemed like word was out that Holt was gone just shortly after the official blew his whistle, brought his hands together, formed a “T” and pointed at the end of the USC bench.

Holt reportedly cussed at the refs, which is both a no-no and a waste of breath. If you’ve been around O’Neill, you know he does enough cussing for everyone.

Generally speaking, managers are expected to behave like Victorian-era children: seen but not heard. They do a ton of work behind the scenes, but the in-game sideline job description goes something like this:

Have water ready. Have towels ready. Have greaseboard ready for timeouts. Set up chairs for timeouts. Form human wall between timeout huddle and fans/TV cameras so they cannot see or hear coach ripping players for poor performance. Pick up shattered pieces of greaseboard after coach slams it to the floor during timeouts. Move back chairs after timeouts. Ardently cheer for your team without getting in anyone’s way. Stoically endure sullen behavior of benched players when you try to hand them water. Don’t lose anyone’s sweats. Don’t talk trash with enemy fans.

I’m pretty sure the guy was immediately rehired though.

SCar’s offense is pathetic though. As if their passing game was not terrible enough, their running game is worse.

WE LOST JAMES ATOE TO UW

I AM FREAKING PISSED! Until I saw this:

James Atoe, a 6-foot-7, 325-pound lineman, has committed to Washington, coach Andy Codding said Monday.

Codding said Atoe chose the Huskies over offers from Idaho, Portland State, Eastern Washington and Weber State.

Congrats Washington, you just out-recruited Idaho.
