Quack Fix: Kelly's first recruiting class is ready and eager and Jordan Hasay competes at Junior Worlds

Lots of little odds and ends today. Enjoy your Tuesday quack.
- Rob Moseley takes a look at Chip Kelly's first recruiting class as head coach. Nearly the entire class was in Eugene by June, which has allowed them to begin preparing for college as well as getting a head start on fall camp.
- And, the latest with Jeremiah Masoli is that it is now "extremely unlikely" that he will transfer to Ole Miss for the upcoming season. As discussed yesterday, because Masoli graduated from Oregon this summer, he can transfer without having to sit out a year. Though it may be moot now, here's SBN-affiliate Red Cup Rebellion with their thoughts on a Masoli transfer.
- Moseley also posted a few links yesterday, including a story on Bo Thran helping host a youth camp. After all the negative publicity from this off-season, it's nice to see some links about Ducks helping out in the community.
- Here's another ranking of non-conference schedules, this time by Matt Hayes of The Sporting News. While Oregon at Tennessee is one of Hayes' top five non-conference games, New Mexico and Portland State put Oregon near the bottom.
- Mike Stoops believe that Arizona Stadium is the second-best "atmosphere" in the conference. Someone might want to mention that hurling a glass bottle at a cheerleader may not be the atmosphere he wants.
- Former player and assistant coach Yasir Rosemond has joined Cameron Dollar's staff at Seattle University. It's nice to see Yasir land another opportunity so quickly.
- Freshman phenom Jordan Hasay finished ninth in the 3,000 at the IAAF World Junior Championships. Her time was a PR and she was the top American in the race.
As always, leave other comments and links below. Go Ducks!

“I believe in a few years we’ll have at least the national championship," makes me wonder if he will actually leave for his LDS mission after his freshman year. It sounds like he is expecting to play for, well, obviously “a few” years.

"At least" the national championship
implying they’ll have also won a million dollars and a fleet of strippers to use at the team’s discretion?

Oh no,
It just didn’t seem very Mormon of him to imply the team was also going to win strippers and cash.
Is ‘fleet’ the proper term for a group of strippers?

OT, sort of.
NCAA 11 can be so frustrating. By week four of my dynasty with Oregon, the following players were out with injuries for the remainder of the season, LaMichael James, Kenjon Barner, Nate Costa, and Terrell Turner. It sucks playing without four starters.

"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
ok I'm siding with EA on this one
for a basketball game, there are 5 starters. for a football game, there are 23 counting a kicker and a punter. in the NBA there are 30 teams. in D1 NCAA football, there are 120. 5×30=150. 23×120=2760

Fair enough
Should do one roster update before the start of the regular season though if you ask me, to update for transfers/changes in depth charts, etc.

At this point, they’re working on the finishing stuff of the NBA and NCAA games.

I don't think that is realistic.
EA Sports has tried to do that in the past with Madden. They couldn’t even keep up with that.
They found out that it took several members on a full time job to tweak it around week-to-week. It’s easy for us to focus on 1 or 2 teams, but EA would have to focus on 120 teams that have 70 players each; or 8400 players. Then there are what, 30-40 different ratings for each player? Plus all of their equipment?
There is a large community that has done a lot of changes. I would recommend downloading a custom named roster that has made significant updates to the roster.

basements?
I think its more a factor of age of housing—lots more newer houses here than in other parts of the country. But lots of houses built before the 70s out here have basements.

It might be different in California then. I actually know of quite a few people in Oregon whose houses had basements. NOBODY in SoCal does. Our house was built in 1954 and there’s no basement. The house I grew up in was built in the ’20’s and there wasn’t one there either.

yeah
it was a storage space that was later turned into the man cave for my brother, myself and my step-dad.
Official officer of the office of official blasphemy. Where what you say works 60% of the time, every time.
I think it is a function of climate and utility
In the North and East people heat their homes more, and in the old days that meant coal or wood fired furnaces. These things were huge, and consumed massive amounts of fuel (especially the wood fired (sawdust) ones commonly found in the PNW), which would be stored in the basement. In the 40’s and 50’s everyone went to oil, so they either converted their old furnaces, or if it was a new built home had them installed as a new (and much smaller furnace). Oil smells nasty, so it is stored either outside in an above ground tank, or in an underground tank (therefore no need to store your fuel in the basement). Basements are expensive to install, so they became less common as the years went on, and nowadays are almost obsolete.

There does seem to be an issue with injuries. I don’t think I’ve ran the read option more than 3 times in a game without either the QB or RB being hurt for some period of time.

I had injuries to LMJ, Eddie P, Turner, Michael Clay and one other. None past the game, but that’s a tad ridiculous. Plus the announcing in that game is AWFUL. Kirk said he was surprised at the final score of the game because both teams were evenly matched. I give the game a solid B.

Am I playing the same game as you guys? I’ve had guys get tweaked and out for a few plays, or a quarter here and there – and I had LMJ get hurt for 6 weeks mid-season (And questionable for the rest of the season afterward).
It actually bugged me a bit in the older game how infrequent injuries were. It appears to be on par in my experiences.

Injuries are an issue
In all sports games.
But it does seem to either be lots of injuries (Madden) or almost none (when I play NBA 2k10 I have yet to see a player on my team get injured).

Also the chant SUCKS!

Also WTH does the crowd chant – O – R – E – G – O – N – OREGON!!
I have never heard that chant at Autzen stadium in my life.
I had nothing to do with that. But EA did hire me on as a “chant consultant,” so you can all thank me later for the realistic “over-rated” chants whenever we beat a ranked team.

Doubtful
That would require a pretty spendy sound rendering engine to do so.
It’s like how in pro sports games computer created players tend to have the last names of current players so they don’t have to have the announcers record extra names.

So I got a “Go – Ducks” chant in the game, and it sounds pretty good, but there isn’t a setting for just prior to kickoff, so they chant “Go – Ducks” before every kickoff right now.
I also got a snippit of “Livin’ on a Prayer” by the OMB to play at the start of the 4th Quarter.
I’ll try and get the “OOOOOOOOOOO” for kickoffs/other.

Finished my first season last night.
I discovered that if you play the first several games with 15 minute quarters you can load up the stats on all the players. The payoff at season’s end is a lot of hardware.
In my case..
Jeff Maehl won the Heisman Trophy and Biletnikoff.
LMJ won the Doak Walker.
TJ3 won the Thorpe.
Matthews won “BEST LB” (I think this is the Butkus in RL, must not have got it licensed?)
Terrelle Turner won the Outland.
There were a couple others in there I don’t remember.
11 first team All-Americans.
Oh, and yes, we won the NC, beating Bama 17-14.
This was not exactly realistic. To determine what might have been, my QB was a senior off the depth chart, #8, renamed Dick Head. (I sat him out of the NM game along with LMJ. In game 1, Costa set a school record with 9 TD passes.)
Recruiting, on the other hand, didn’t go so well, as my class wound up 35th nationally.
I started another dynasty, without Dick Head at QB, and with 5-minute quarters. This time we wound up 10-3, blowing a Rose Bowl bid by hocking up a greenie at Reser (7-20) after Barner broke his ankle, then losing to Missouri (?) in the Alamo. On the bright side, just after bowl season, the recruiting class is ranked #2. I’m either figuring out the tricks in recruiting or it’s totally random.

But back in my NCAA days we found 7 min quarters produced the most accurate stats game to game and over a season.
Go Ducks.....Ducks Go!!!!!
I used to find that to be the most realistic, but eventually I found that the opposing offense is on the field, on average, for only about 28 seconds per possession.
That’s the main problem with realism in those games. The other offenses have such short drives, even when they’re a scoring drive.

I’ve been following it closely, granted I’m far away on the east coast, but from my reads it looks like the renovation is in serious jeopardy. They have rhetoric coming out of UDUB that it’s still on, but I really doubt it. It’s very expensive to rip that track off, move seats forward and make it a permanent football facility. The donors have not stepped up, and with the most recent athletic department (really the crazy AD they had and her war path) they’ve lost some key donors.

Garrett, the school’s former Heisman Trophy-winning running back who has been USC’s athletic director for the last 17 years, is expected to take the school’s retirement package. He is 66.
Garrett came under fire recently when USC was put on four years probation by the NCAA for a series of violations, primarily involving its football program, that added up to a lack of institutional control. That kind of NCAA action almost always results in fingers being pointed at the athletic director, and Nikias’ action appears to be in response to those NCAA penalties.
Haden’s pedigree is pure cardinal and gold.
The 57-year-old current partner in the private investment firm of Riordan, Lewis & Haden is a former star quarterback at USC, where he was twice academic All-American. He was USC’s starting quarterback in the John McKay years of 1972-74.

The USC cleansing continues
http://www.sbnation.com/2010/7/20/1578980/reggie-bush-heisman-return-usc
As USC moves on from the scandal-marred Pete Carroll era, they’re completely cleaning house and erasing the past. Indeed, aside from bringing in a new AD, USC will reportedly return Reggie Bush’s Heisman trophy to the Heisman trust, according to Bryan Fischer of Rivals.com.
Beyond giving back Bush’s hardware, USC will efface all institutional memory of Bush and former hardcourt one-and-doner O.J. Mayo, per the memo from incoming school president C.L. Max Nikias that also introduced new AD Joe Haden. From the memo:
The Trojan family honors and respects the USC sporting careers of those persons whose actions did not compromise their athletic program or the opportunities of future USC student-athletes. Accordingly, I have instructed the senior vice president for administration to remove athletic jerseys and murals displayed in recognition of O.J. Mayo and Reggie Bush by mid-August — before the incoming class of students moves on campus — from Heritage Hall, the Galen Center and the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum. The university also will return Mr. Bush’s 2005 Heisman Trophy to the Heisman Trophy Trust in August.
"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
I can see why they are doing this,
But I also think that it is pointless. It seems pathetic to me that they are trying to erase the past. I know that most people here still love Reggie Bush for what he has done on the field.

By the way, are you Nick Saban?
“What the NFL Players Association and the NFL need to do is if any agent breaks a rule and causes ineligibility for a player, they should suspend his [agent’s] license for a year or two,” Saban said. “I’m about ready for college football to say, ’Let’s just throw the NFL out. Don’t let them evaluate players. Don’t let them talk to players. Let them do it at the combine.’ If they are not going to help us, why should we help them?”
I cant believe he said that,
How about this idea, TEACH YOUR PLAYERS TO STAY THE HELL AWAY FROM AGENTS SO THEY DONT RISK SEVERELY DAMAGING THE TEAM. He acts almost as if it is inevitable that all players will sell out to agents while in college. C’mon Saban!
Self-anointed President of the Kenjon Barner fan club.
I don’t think that he’s saying it’s inevitable, just that the NFL could care less if the NCAA sanctions universities, takes away scholarships, or hands out punishments because of what agents do. Which is a reasonable premise. Also, as cougfan and I were discussing at cougcenter (a great blog BTW, and you really should check it out) the only real way that the NCAA will be able to halt the agent influence is to get the NFL involved.
ATQ's #1 HRD Fan
Addicted to Quack
Easier said than done
He can preach all he wants, but agents are still gonna do what they do. An athlete having money waved in front of them by an agent is a big temptation.
And I agree with Saban (and Matt Daddy, who brought it up first). You want to kill the problem, you go after the agents.
I'm still not sold.
I look at it like so, In order to stop my dog from getting hit by a car, I taught her never to go into the street. It sounds to me like Saban is trying to stop all motor traffic on the street rather than train his dog. It does not make sense to me.
How is it even possible to take away an agent’s license? Who would even suspend the agent’s licence? The NCAA? They are the only ones affected and they have no power to suspend the license of an agent. Why would the NFL care what agaents are doing to NCAA players?
Self-anointed President of the Kenjon Barner fan club.
It would be like teaching your dog that
Then having cars drive through your yard in an attempt to hit your dog.
The NFLPA is the one who handles the agents and licensing (something new I learned yesterday. The NFL would care because it’s tampering in a way. Putting an athlete in jeopardy by throwing cash and cars at them goes against every ethics guideline.
It just surprises me that,
Many are still viewing this in a light as if the NCAA players are helpless to the corrupting will of the agents. So long as professional football is a profitable business, agents will do anything to attach themselves to players. Agents are of course the major source of this problem, but I also think that the corrupt players themselves are responsible as well for these deals. In my opinion, if you punish the agents, you must punish the players as well.
Perhaps in a few years when rookie salaries are supposed to decrease significantly in the NFL, agents may back off on contacting players in college (I doubt it).
Self-anointed President of the Kenjon Barner fan club.
Perhaps in a few years when rookie salaries are supposed to decrease significantly in the NFL, agents may back off on contacting players in college (I doubt it).
Didn’t happen in the NBA (OJ Mayo). As I said on cougcenter:
But for instance if you are found to be working with an agent or whatever while in college, and you were suspended from the pros for doing so, players would think long and hard before letting one influence you.
The problem is the pro associations have no incentive to help the NCAA. There’s no way they’re going to agree to suspending athletes for what they did in college, and I think the whole regulating the agents angle is a losing battle as well. My whole point is that the NCAA needs to try and get them involved if they can, but if they are unwilling to help, then they have to look at other angles, like finally paying athletes in college and give up this whole “amateur” B.S.

--Dave
Addicted to Quack, your friendly, neighborhood Oregon Ducks blog
Why not? They already get a stipend. It should be increased significantly.
--AddictedToQuack, SBNation's Oregon Ducks blog
I wrote a research paper on this in school
The conclusion was with the amount of revenue athletic departments bring in the backs of athletes (who don’t see a dime), the athletes should be paid. What I couldn’t figure out was how to regulate it and insure the rule wouldn’t be exploited. Basically, it would be a headache to police.
Yeah, but would that really be worse than a current system where a lot happens under the table anyway? All the current system does is help the big schools that have money to skirt the rules, or money to dump into treating their athletes like kings and help them get to the next level (Thanks, Uncle Phil!)
What’s further infuriating is that agents still must be part of the process for athletes to move to the next level. These players are making MILLIONS for Universities. And when they’re in line to try and get theirs at the next level, they can’t even have an agent take them out to eat (though when they’re being recruited in high school, that’s just fine), or attend a party that they get invited to because they’re a college athlete.
The NCAA, and their treatment of student-athletes is a total joke. They react in wild swings, and don’t actually accomplish anything.

I don't disagree at all
It’s exploitation. Yes, the counter argument is they get free school, but universities are bringing in an absurd amount of money marketing these athletes. The only difference between the NCAA and pros is that the athletes aren’t being paid.
The current system is definitely flawed, but I don’t have faith that the NCAA would fix the system without mucking it up more.
but I don’t have faith that the NCAA would fix the system without mucking it up more.
That is so damn true.
--AddictedToQuack, SBNation's Oregon Ducks blog
I agree with everything you say, There really is no easy and feasible solution to this problem.
The NCAA can do nothing except “erase” a bit of the past. Because the NFLPA handles agents (thanks for the info cougfan!), why would the players association do something to limit the “earnings” of players?
Because the schools get hammered severely for this hapening rather than players and agents, the only way to attempt to stop this is for the universities do everything possible to prevent agent/player interaction. The universities need to take serious action when they see a player driving a Range Rover through campus (Joe McKnight cough cough). It is not at all fair but i just do not see any other way this can be handled.
Self-anointed President of the Kenjon Barner fan club.
An addition I would make to your analogy is that it would set guidelines on drivers that intentionally try and hit your dog. Sure Saban needs to do everything in his power to educate his players and keep them from slimy agents, but at the same time there is no ramifications for agents who are slimy. But he’s fighting an uphill battle with no help from those that govern agents (the NFLPA). If they get caught, the player’s school is punished, but their player still gets his fat contract and the agent his commission. What disincentive does the agent have for breaking the NCAA’s guidelines?
On top of that, schools are asked to bend over for the NFL and their “player representatives” yet, if someone questions why the NFL isn’t helping keep agents and slime away from NCAA players, there’s deaf silence on the part of the NFLPA.
I’m not saying I agree or disagree with whether players should be paid, I’m just saying that if the NCAA was committed to stopping agent interaction with NCAA players, they would need to get the NFL involved. I think Saban is essentially saying the same thing. You need to train your dog, you also need to drivers to not want to hit your dog. It’s a two way street.

Lived there for 6 years
- Alcatraz. It’s the one thing I didn’t do, and everybody I know that has ever lived there said it’s the one tourist attraction that actually meets the hype;
- Brief visit to Fisherman’s Wharf. It’s a crappy, tourist trap, but there are two things worth checking out: The sea lions, and the SF Bushman. Just ask one of the vendors if the Bushman is around today.
- FORGET LOMBARD. You may know it as the “World’s Curviest Street”. If you waste the time to visit, you will refer to it as the “World’s Most Overhyped Street”.
- EAT. Some of the world’s best restaurants are in SF. House of Nanking is good if you feel like Szechuan. For dim sum, I always liked Yank Sing or Gold Mountain—but Gold Mountain is totally non-English speaking Chinese. Pizza-wise, I liked Golden Boy in North Beach. Rose Pistol is great Italian, but it’s spendy. If you’re a Bogart fan and you’ve seen Dark Passage, the joint where he eats breakfast in the beginning of the movie is still open AFAIK—Red’s Java House on Embarcadero. Good for lunch; burgers on sourdough rolls.
- Walk the Golden Gate
- Walk Chinatown and buy cheap souvenirs
- Haight Street isn’t worth it, unless you want to go to an amazing music store: Amoeba Records. Otherwise it’s basically just head shops and teenage panhandlers.
- Ghiradelli Chocolate Factory is at the edge of Fisherman’s Wharf, but it’s just a stupid mall. Don’t listen to axemen.
- NEVER LISTEN TO AXEMEN.
- Find an authentic Mexican joint in the Mission and chow. And nearby is the world’s only pirate supply store: http://www.826valencia.org/store/
- The Embarcadero Ferry Building has good eats and is a nice place to hang out on the water.
Too bad you’re a young’un, because I’d have a whole list of drunkeries to visit. Sucks for you.
