Quack Fix: Basketball recruit in town and a preview of the Pre Classic

It may only be 67 days until football, but quack is still in short supply. Enjoy.

  • In basketball recruiting news, it looks like Oregon may have found the final piece to this year's recruiting class in Chip Armelin, a 6'3" shooting guard from Louisiana.  Amelin fell off the radar after focusing on football during last summer rather than the AAU circuit and was considering attending a JC school in order to generate interest.  Amelin is set to arrive in Eugene later today for a visit in hopes of receiving an offer from Coach Altman.
  • Ted Miller has a quick roundup of how recruiting is going across the Pac-10 -- Oregon has only five commits, but is the only school besides USC to have more than one designated as ESPNU 150 prospects.
  • Matt Hinton has an article up discussing potential Heisman candidates from the QB position. His requirements for a candidate are:
    The profile of a real Heisman-worthy quarterback is easy: He has a) Respectable numbers on an offense with no clear star at running back, b) An MVP-worthy effort in a big game, c) A vague air of "leadership," i.e. generally deferential to reporters and sporting no crazy hair, tattoos, or arrests, and d) A banner season, preferably one ending in the BCS Championship game.
    Nate Costa earns a mention as a "See also" at the end of the list along with Matt Barkley and a few others.
  • Ron Bellamy previews The Prefontaine Classic, which begins this Saturday at Hayward Field.  This year, the meet will be run in conjunction with a new prep meet, the Nike Track Nationals.  It sounds like it should be another great meet hosted at Hayward, particularly since many of the events are designated as Diamond League events and points earned from those events will be tallied as part of a season-long competition.
  • Paul Myerberg of Pre-Snap Read is counting down each team heading into the college football season, and Oregon opponent Tennessee comes in at 66. While many Duck fans expect a big win, Tennessee has a lot of (untested) talent, and a very good defensive coordinator in Justin Wilcox. The game will likely not be as easy as we hope, especially against a team that has nothing to lose.

As always, leave any other newsworthy links in the comments below.

Locker's goals for 2010
“As far as our team goes, you know, obviously making a bowl game, we’d like to find ourselves contending for a Rose Bowl at the end of the year. … I want to be a part of a very successful Husky football team, one that puts this team back on the map, and returns it back to the tradition that it once had.”

That’s Heisman worthy material there. As SMQ put it, Kraft Hunger Bowl or bust.

So I know it's in vogue to hate on Jake Locker here or whatever

But he is, in fact, a very articulate young man. I hate his team and all, but as far as interviews go and that whole live chat thing, he really seems like an intelligent man without a big head, like most people his age and with his hype would have.

I would be extremely proud of our players if they gave as good of interviews as Jake Locker.

Maybe I’m totally off about this, but Jake Locker hate vs. Tim Tebow hate would be an interesting sociological discussion.

I think most Locker hate on ATQ is simply for internet humor purposes. Yeah, he might be somewhat over-rated by the national media, and he’s a Husky, which is an unforgivable sin. But I think most people, if they’re honest with themselves, think of Locker the same way I think of Derek Jeter – I hate him because he’s good but over-rated by the media, and because he plays for the hated Yankees, but I would love him if he were on my favorite team.

Tebow, on the other hand, is just hated for being Tebow. He shares an over-ratedness by the media for his football abilities, but it’s to a higher degree than Locker, and people can’t stand his personality (for various reasons that we won’t get into here).

Just an interesting dichotomy. Also, JOCK LICKER SUCKS!

The Locker hate is stupid

honestly, its just because he’s a Fusky. He’s a little overrated by the media, but in no way on the same stratosphere of being Tebow-esque. He seems like a good kid, and made the decision to come back to schoool for all the right reasons, mainly becuase he loves his team and wants to help bring them back to prominence.

I can’t wish Locker well in this endeavor, because he’s a Fusky and Fuskies need to lose, but I have no problems wishing him well in his life and in a potential pro career. I think top pick is a real stretch for him, but he’s really a better player than a lot of us give him credit for.

I’m going to hide in an attempt to avoid all the tomatoes that are being thrown at me now.

I think that Tennessee does have a lot of talent, but it will be negated by inexperience. Oregon is the first true opponent of the season for them (first game is a cupcake game against UT-Martin), and I think Alitotti’s defensive schemes will confuse the hell out of that inexperienced O-Line. Defensively, the Vols are much more experienced but the interior defensive linemen are the most obvious weak spot, which doesn’t bode well for UT considering we return all offensive line starters from last year. I definitely don’t think that we are going to blow them out. I see something around a 24-13 Oregon win.

John Mackovic makes Kiffin look like Bill Walsh


Consider the record:
- At KC, drafted Todd Blackledge over Jim Kelly and Dan Marino because Blackledge was “a good boy”
- Responded to losing streaks by denying players lunch (this in the NFL)
- At Texas, tried to make Ricky Williams a fullback
- Turned a respectable UA team into a laughing stock, going 4-20 in conference

I’ll never forget that TV series, “The Season”, in 2001, when cameras followed the UA football team around all season as they imploded under Mackovic. When the Ducks laid 63 points on the hapless Cat defense in Tucson, the enduring image was of Mackovic, suit and tie flapping in his self-generated breeze, screaming at his defensive players, “COMPETE!!! COMPETE!!! COMPETE!!!”

Justin Wilcox

He’s our secret weapon. Justin has been implanted at Tennessee to act as a double-agent. Through the back channel we will learn the inner secrets of the new Vols defense, and Wilcox will also work magic for us during games, as he sets up wildly inappropriate formations that have no chance of stopping the CK spread.

At least nobody was hurt.

But in all seriousness, F1 has brought tons of innovation into our personal cars, spacecraft, the health industry, and the military. Who knew that hundreds of millions of dollars in annual research would lead to anything?

I can only assume that you are not interested, but this is an interesting link regarding recent technological innovation that F1 has made possible. Sorry for the OT, I am an F1 geek and take any opportunity to bore someone regarding F1 technology.

Don’t you want to know how in the future the energy generated by your car’s flywheel will be stored and used to cut gas consumption by a third?

I drive a Land Cruiser, not much F1 inspired innovation there either.

Sounds good to me

Honestly I wonder what is gayer, me buying 30 gallons @ $3.39 a gallon for my 1989 Ford Bronco that gets about 9 mi./gal (downhill in a hurricane). Or driving my wife’s 39 mpg Hyundai w/ a ten gallon tank that goes farther on 20 gallons less. My ass hurts just thinking about it.

Don’t get me wrong I love my Bronco, I love the power, the trailer pulling ability, the maneuverability, the fact that it can go anywhere is fucking awesome up here. But when I mainly drive it on paved roads in the city, it really seems like a waste. Yet I keep filling that tank.

Boy do I get that

Tahoe here…and about 2 yrs ago when gas in Oregon was almost $4/gallon it was costing me $100 to fill up the tank. $100 for one tank of gas. I almost got rid of it that summer to buy a little hybrid but my 2 growing boys and big ol’ German Shepherd made me think better of it. Still, it makes me feel vaguely un-American to drive it – despite the fact that it’s a Chevy.

you think this has anything to do with the fact that Oregon was bringing in another 2 guard for a visit?

The other way around

The 2 guard has something to do with Wilson leaving.

Besides that, WHO THE HELL IS GOING TO PLAY THE 2 GUARD?!?!?!?

by Brian Floyd on Jun 29, 2010 11:08 PM PDT up reply actions   2 recs

Thanks for making my point more bluntly, but yes, who’s going to play 2 guard?

I think Wilson was looking at more competition, more difficult system to adapt to, and I’m sure the coaches have been pretty up front with Wilson about what he could expect playing time wise. The recruiting visit was maybe the straw on the camel’s back that he needed to transfer.

I think it has to be a little of both. Altman’s been pretty up front about if you want to play here he’ll have a spot for the returning guys, but that he only wanted guys that wanted to be here. So if Wilson was still waffling (which you know he had to be considering how quickly he moved on) Altman was going to move on too.

Blount's feature on NFL Networks "On the Fringe" segment is kind of interesting.

Viewable here if you haven’t seen it.

It sure makes it look like he’s working hard, but really seems to play up the competition angle. That’s a deep stable of running backs on the Titans, especially if Johnson has responded well from his injury. He was SC’s most consistent back over the past couple year in my opinion. Not a lot of flash but he would just eat a defense’s soul picking up consistent yardage.

The battle between the two of them for the third running back spot and avoiding the practice squad will be interesting to follow through camps.
