OT but boo to the NBA
Picking Chauncey Billups over AB to replace Chris Paul in the NBA All-Star game.
"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
To be fair, Billups is the better player.
Aaron’s in a great situation for him to display his talents. He’s young too, so I wouldn’t rule him out of beng involved someday.
Yes! Yes! In the face!
Brooks will get his chance.
He’s only really been in the spotlight for less than a year (his coming-out party was the playoffs last season).
everything is history, eventually.
Damn Straight!
But I’ll bet you he’s tired from winning the day.

Opening comments.
Chip is saying they’re really going for athleticism and speed.
Good QB, Bryan has good athletic ability
We gotta replace a lot on the secondary, replace lost depth, but we have a lot of athletes, and we’ll see where all these players hit.
Don’t have a linebacker need this year, Tony Washington and Ricky will be good on D-line.
Lots of character in the class. Not mopey guys (reading between the lines, not Gabe King?). This class is the right fit for Eugene.

If he really wants athletes...
…does LeBron still have any college football eligibility? :)
Yes! Yes! In the face!
Seriosuly...
Is there any doubt that this guy is the college version of Bellichick? Terse interviews and essentially saying that talent trumps everything else. I love that Kelly is looking for athletes and then he’ll decide where to plug them in.
Except he's not a jackass
Nor does he refer to players by their position alone (e.g. Tom Brady is “The Quarterback”).

Or existed before he won those titles

Yeah, Chip actually has a sense of humor. Belichick sold his to satan years ago in exchange for illegal video of Rams practices.

Kelly’s saying that they will not take players just because of a “need.” He brought up how we were light this year on the D-line, but that wasn’t a problem during the season.
They’re gonna take the best players, and then see how it all works out. An example is Malone, and they don’t know where he’ll play, but we’ll just have to wait and see how he develops.
--AddictedToQuack, SBNation's Oregon Ducks blog
The RB prospects wanna come and compete. He doesn’t want players who are afraid of that. He wants fearless players.

Eric Dungy
Tony had nothing to do with his recruitment. He had never talked about Eric when he talked to Tony earlier.
He said that the early recruiting process really hurts him, because he was 155 pounds as a Junior.

In seriousness
You can’t coach speed. If your recruits don’t have it, they’re generally not going to get it. Everything else (technique, skill, mechanics, etc.) can be coached.

Not quite a pipeline yet, but 347 came out of the state overall. It’s a great state to recruit. High school’s are like small colleges.

--AddictedToQuack, SBNation's Oregon Ducks blog
It's nice to be able to recruit nationally.
This sure beats the era when getting a player out of Eastern Idaho would’ve been considered “off the map” for Oregon.
Yes! Yes! In the face!
We actually have depth now
Harrington’s last team may have won all those games but they would not have survived with that record with the injuries we had this year.

Bah...
Scout and ESPN are so skewed towards a certain region. Rivals is the best because they truly cover the entire nation.
Rivals is lacking big time in the northwest
They carry a pretty heavy mid west bias…really the best you can do is look at film yourself and make your own damn decisions. I personally like Scout for UW’s class (not only because they have us rated highest) because Dawgman has great coverage of WA and a lot of the personnel out West are very quality evaluators.
ESPN is way behind in terms of coverage…Rivals and Scout both have their ups and downs, but they’re about equal in terms of coverage. Rivals is going to give better insight about your MI and TX guys, and Scout will generally give better insight about the OR and CA guys.
Also, who cares if rankings are skewed? ESPN could have UW with the #113th ranked class in the country, it’ll play out on the field.
You HRD’d it for sure!

Kelly’s talking about Howell, the long snapper. It’s good that we’re not depending on a single player that could get injured playing linebacker.

Bryan Bennett
He may be under 4.5. He has great long jump and triple jump, and standing broad jump. He’s a great athlete.
If he’s a pocket passer, so are Dixon and Masoli. He’s got a huge upside athletically. Exactly what we’re looking for at QB. A QB that has the ability to run.

Yes, and I'll tell you why.
Again, I may be reading it entirely the wrong way. But the first time reading that quote, I felt the tone of it was so as to say “Why wouldn’t this 4-star cornerback want to commit to us? The sky is falling if we don’t get this one guy.” It sounds smug and a little bit of taking for granted.
Please, tell me if I’m mistaken. I probably am anyway.
Addicted To Quack [dot] com
I have a Ropert is God™ complex.
Well, the story up to that point was about the relationship that Neal had built with Mathis. So if Mathis had dropped Oregon at the last minute, it would have hurt on a much more personal level.
In that context, it’s not complacent at all.

I have a Ropert is God™ complex.
Um...
Hate to do this, but…you should look up the definition of complacent. I’m not sure how your take on his thoughts suggests complacency.
That being said, I like what John said. It suggests that he’s connecting with the kids beyond the meat-market value of pkayers as athletes. It made me think he built a solid relationship with Dior based on mutual respect and honesty, and would have been disappointed-almost betrayed—if DM had not chosen UO.
I’d be careful if I were John, though. He’s going to get his heart broken a lot—or lose his faith in humanity a lot—if he looks at recruiting this way. These kids are too fickle and capricious.
Regardless, I like his passion and am rather impressed with the the group of DBs he helped bring in.
I don't think they are going to pick many kids who are fickle and capricious.
That’s the way it sounded in CK’s press conference. that everyone had a say who whether the guy was good for the team or not, especially the current players and it would seem that some f. and c.’s were sent to Cal……?

Great class!
Isn’t it hard to believe that this was Chip Kelly’s first year as a head coach? It’s nice to reach for the clouds but if the class wasn’t great I think many of us would have accepted that new staff plus a first time guy equals an adjustment period. Add that the Rose Bowl Bump probably won’t have a true impact until next season and it’s just remarkable to bring in so many talented athletes.
So much speed on the offensive side of the ball, next year should be a lot of fun to watch. Pretty soon we’ll be running the A-11 and even our center will be a 4.5 sprinter. The NCAA will respond by forcing a new “lead sneaker” rule for the Pac-10 to keep the SEC competitive with us.
Totally. I’m really impressed how we’ve jacked these Texas RB’s. Come here if you want to put up stats!

I'll go with Rivals
Hmm, 13 in both for Oregon, but UW is 11 in scout vs. 28 in rivals
I’ll go with rivals
Berkowitz had a good point to today
This will go down as either the class that helped Steve Sarkisian and the Washington Huskies turn the corner toward being among the Pac 10’s elite or it will be the class that mires them in a mediocrity that he will never recover from. When you bring in thirty athletes in one class you are cementing your future one way or another in the era of only 85 scholarships.
I do feel that it’s getting overrated (at least by Scout) because of the size, but it’s also very necessary for the Huskies to get some solid players into the program. Be interesting to see how it works out.
--AddictedToQuack, SBNation's Oregon Ducks blog
It's a good class
It’s a large class, but it’s the best they’ve seen in quite some time as well. This is really a make or break class and is ,in essence, dropping your nuts on the table and banking on the class to come through.
plus the positions they are filling are ones that will require production and are not just “fillers” If these guys don’t make it, UW will have a hard time filling in behind them
Addicted to Quack I just got the newest version of Masoli Guitar Hero.
I think we can fill behind them
but our problem is that our current depth, is still our current depth. We’re not very deep anywhere. Most of this class will either redshirt and leapfrog alot of current backups or come in as true frosh and take somebodies job.

Huff will be playing WR/TZR, so he won’t really be taking that spot.
Coleman will likely play defense. That leaves us with 5 scholarship RB’s this season (if you count Barner), right about where we should be.

I was amazed that Heimuli committed to us. It is unfortunate to our self interest that he will have to go wherever to do his mission, but he has his cultural obligations I suppose.
We should get a solid season out of him before his mission, and hopefully another few after his mission.

He’s the one I wanted more than any other d-lineman. His size is perfect for our system (whether this year or in years to come). He’ll fit perfectly into our 3-4 defensive scheme eating up the middle and shutting down the running game.
This is the most perfect signing for Oregon. Loved it!
Addicted to Quack I just got the newest version of Masoli Guitar Hero.
I have yet to watch too much film of this kid,
But I hope to get around to that a little later.
I hear that he is one powerful stud that has a wicked bull rush. Hopefully he can compete early for the DT spot (which he sure will, I presume). It was really nice to pull off a traditional DT. Very re-assuring.

From Rivals:
Most Impressive: His bull-rush may be the best in the country. He is very strong and will not be intimidated by anyone. Heimuli is a headhunter and one of the toughest and meanest competitors in the country.
Pretty much agree, and what more do you want from a NT in a 3-4. Bull rush, take up blockers, clog the middle and let the speedy LB’s fly around you. This guy is great for New Aliotti’s system!

Compound interest does not negatively amortize. Are you sure you went to Oregon?
everything is history, eventually.
Interest rates are really down.

Sounds like he could be the perfect successor to Masoli’s throne.
Let’s not forget about Darron Thomas. I really love our QB depth.

I am really excited about Bennett.
He has a great release, keeps the football high and tight. He seems like an accurate passer, and plays DB for his team. Se he can RUN.
Great fit for this offense.

There’s a pic of him on facebook in a Teletubby suit. Caption reads:

any chance we can get some of our kids on track scholarships to open up a few more for football? Chip sure is building quite the 4×100 team…or two…

NCAA outlawed that some time ago.
you can have a track guy on a football schollie — not the opposite.
i think they changed that 20 years ago, when half the Nebraska “track team” was on the football squad.
everything is history, eventually.
same w/ baseball like Lane last year right? what was Jordan Kent actually on scholarship for?

then OSU should be suicidal, since most services have them at the bottom of the rankings.

they actually got a few higher ranked kids than normal but they’ll pretend it doesnt matter…so it doesnt matter…

Im happy
Pulled a surprise with a big non qual lb and considering our on field successes lately id say it went well. We filled needs and were never gonna pull huge studs.
As for ASU, fuck Dennis Erickson. I take pride in his class being a pile

You used the term 'successes', a plural form.
That deserves a rec for sneaky hyperbole, methinks.

Zona is not in great shape
Not really. And OSU is hoping they can make it work again.

Well guys,
For once, we don’t have to deal with some high profile kid holding our program hostage and then committing elsewhere past signing day. Whew.
Well, I guess that the JUCO WR is still available. But thankfully, he is not absurdly high profile. WOO HOO
