Quack Fix: Ducks pick up two more offensive linemen commits
by PaulSF on Jul 21, 2010 7:00 AM PDT
in Morning Quack Fix
Email
PrintIn the college football world, all eyes were on the SEC and USC yesterday, so not a ton of quack today. At the very least, this post allows everyone a place to continue chatting about NCAA 11. But before you do, here's your Wednesday Morning Quack Fix:
- The Ducks landed their third 2011 lineman recruit from the state of Arizona yesterday when offensive tackle Tyler Johnstone of Chandler committed to the Ducks. Johnstone follows defensive ends Sam Kamp and Andre Yruretagoyena, also of Arizona, who also gave verbals this summer. And speaking of Kamp, he will unfortunately miss his senior season after breaking his clavicle this summer. However, the injury won't affect his scholarship offer from the Ducks.
- Oregon also stayed in-state and picked up a commitment from Aloha High School's James Euscher. He has been flying under the radar for much of the recruiting process, but at 6'7" 278 pounds, he has a lot of potential. James is "really excited" to be a Duck, and he may give Oregon commit Tyler Coleman a call to work on some of the other Oregon prospects, and get them to become Ducks as well.
- Unless you were under a rock yesterday, you probably noticed USC in the news. The Trojans' former Heisman Trophy winner and long-time athletic director Mike Garrett "retired," and will be replaced by another former Trojan standout Pat Haden. But probably the bigger news was that USC has decided to return Reggie Bush's 2005 Heisman Trophy following the NCAA's investigation.
- In other conference news, Oregon's not the only Northwest team to dismiss a starter this offseason. Washington joined the Ducks yesterday after announcing the dismissal of starting tight end Kavario Middleton for violating team rules. He's not a Heisman contending quarterback like Masoli, but we'll take what we can get.
As always, leave any relevant links or comments below.

Chip Kelly has remained in control of recruiting
he may give Oregon commit Tyler Coleman a call to work on some of the other Oregon prospects, and get them to become Ducks as well.
I cant read the article, but when guys team up to get other guys its big time. It seems like that is what really kicks off major recruiting classes and makes programs elite recruiters. Not only that but if they can get a lot of the good state of Oregon players in this class it would really hurt some other Pac Twen teams for a full recruiting cycle.
Go Ducks.....Ducks Go!!!!!
It would be sweet to end up with Lyerla and Scarlett.
I would imagine that Coach Kelly would want Coleman to recruit the big time in state prospects this year.

Our recrutiting should get even better
Since usually the big bump you get from doing something like winning your conference comes the year AFTER you win it, not the year you win it.

Well,
So far it sounds like we are in great shape to get a few huge name receivers this season. We seems to be the leader for Sumler, and we are right up there for George Farmer, and George Atkinson III (He had better take a look at our recent success with players whose last names have a “III” attached to them!).

Pac-10 preseason media poll to be released next week. Prediction: 1 SC, 2 UO, 3 STAN, 4 ARIZ, 4 OSU, 6 CAL, 6 UW, 8 UCLA, 9 ASU, 10 WSU
So SC will win the Pac and Oregon will go to the Rose Bowl?
Or will it go to an at large bid, according to this?

Anyone can be cool but being awesome takes practice
I can't believe that Kelly would lose to USC.

OT, but fun
Discovered a site this morning (through Posnanski) called I Write Like
You enter a paragraph (or more) of your writing, click the “analyze” button and see who turns up as a good writing comparison for you. I don’t think it’s all that in-depth, but it’s just a gag to play around with. Writing from my blog turned up as David Foster Wallace (which seems like a pretty popular one – no idea why though; each other person I ran through came up with DFW, so I threw that one out). Some fiction writing I’ve done turned up as Dan Brown. I ran some of the contributors through this to see what we got:
jtlight: PG Wodehouse
Dave (ATQ): Ian Fleming
Tako: Stephen King
Matt Daddy: Cory Doctorow (??)
Benzduck: James Joyce

As I mentioned in the original post, that site seems to really like DFW, so I just threw him out whenever I got him and picked a new piece of writing until I got someone different.

The Stand is one of my favorite books of all time. The Shining, It, Tommyknockers, The Green Mile, Pet Sematary, The Dark Half, Salem’s Lot…all entertaining reads. I really liked the first four books of The Gunslinger series, but then it got downright weird.

I’ve tried to get into finer literature, and some I actually enjoy, but for the most part I just like to be entertained (Tolkien, King, Crichton, Grisham). The Wizard and Glass (Book 4) was really good, and then it went downhill, especially when he wrote himself into the story. I had to finish book 7, just to do it, but yeah, it was rough.

I have been on a historical non-fiction kick for a while. I read and enjoyed 1776 (as well as others on the revolutionary period), but I really like Ron Chernow’s work — particularly his biographies on Alexander Hamilton and John D. Rockefeller.
I'm getting really into Historical and Alternate-Historical Fiction.
Chip Kelly is my shepherd, there is nothing I shall want.
I did the alternate history thing for a while. Some of it just appears to get outlandish. A lot of authors try to fill in some heavy ideology with their stuff too. For example, what would happen if the USA didn’t drop the bombs on Japan? Some authors would use that as a podium to show why that was good/bad decision.
That’s where I start to lose interest.
it’s spelled "S-H-U-F-E-L-T-A-L-I-T-T-L-E-H-O-S-T-I-L-E"
I agree on the part of author's taking it too far and just being unrealistic.
A good alternate history is one that presents itself as a “what-if” but not as a “space, robots, and intergalactic travel” children’s book. Another element to alternate-historical fiction is being a period piece. I really can enjoy those. It’s even crossed into video games, like Bioshock.
Chip Kelly is my shepherd, there is nothing I shall want.
I totally agree. I’m on the same page as you on that – but I just found most of the books that I read just took some things too far, and acted like it was the event, or failure of an event on why we don’t have flying cars.
it’s spelled "S-H-U-F-R-E-A-K-I-N-H-E-R-O-U-T-M-A-N"
Joseph Conrad's Heart of Darkness is an example of a good period piece novella.
Chip Kelly is my shepherd, there is nothing I shall want.
What kind of alternate historical fiction? I really enjoyed Pastwatch by Orson Scott Card. And right now I’m reading a series by SM Stirling (which is based in Oregon, actually). It’s more apocalyptic fiction, but it’s on the same lines. But that stuff is closer to sci-fi really.
I’ve also read Guns, Germs, and Steel, which isn’t really alternate-historical fiction, but is an analysis of why the world turned out the way it did, specifically what socio-geographic factors allowed European/Middle Eastern nations the ability to wipe out entire cultures in other parts of the world. It’s a fascinating read.
Defending maligned chants since 2009
Jared Diamond is a great writer.
I also enjoyed Guns, Germs, and Steel. Which, you’re right, isn’t exactly alternate-history, but more of a documentary on history and geography and determination.
A book I always wanted to read but never got around to was The Yiddish Policeman’s Union. Philip K. Dick also did a little (non-Dune) alternate-historical fiction. It’s a great genre.
Chip Kelly is my shepherd, there is nothing I shall want.
Yiddish Policeman's Union by Michael Chabon
Good Book. Israel was never founded, the USA gave the Jewish settlers control of parts of a few islands in SE Alaska (Sitka), where they build a huge city. But it was only leased to them for 50 years, and the time is almost up, and all the Jews are about to be evicted because USA doesn’t want to renew the lease. You have the crusty, alcoholic police detective, his ex-wife, a possible messiah, terrorism, ethnic tension. Oh and endless pages about chess.

Hmmm,
Based off of a quick search, he seems like a better baseball player than a football player. I wonder if he will be playing both sports at UO.
I have a hard time believing that he is being recruited at QB, if he isn’t, that means at least one of our other QB commits is surely going to be moved elsewhere. We have a deep stable of runningbacks, and so far WR recruiting seems promising,

If there’s one thing I have faith in our coaching staff to do it’s get the guys in the right spots, regardless of what position the played in high school. Bair, Paysinger, and Barner have all worked out pretty well following position switches and by all accounts Jordan looks good in a new role too.

I got more of a sense of he will not be playing football at all. Rivals often includes players on the football recruiting list that have committed for other sports, yet happen to play football in high school. For example, Rivals includes basketball player Jonathan Lloyd as a member of last seasons football recruiting class, even though he will have nothing to do with football at UO.

You very well could be right. Although, is this baseball recruiting time? Would we be seeing baseball recruits come in or committing right now?

I have no idea if this is typical baseball recruiting season or not,
College Baseball fans, any help?

So, it’s illegal to give a football player a baseball scholarship, but the other way around is OK?

if a guy plays multiple sports, and football is one of those sports
he has to be on football scholarship. Its an NCAA rule, mainly to keep teams from stashing football players on track scholarships.

in this case
we just happen to be taking advantage of it.

it would be kind of hard to do track and baseball
they’re kind of the same season.

Yep, Football first (if you play it and are on scholly it’s a football scholly), basketball second, baseball third.
If you play a sport below, your scholly counts towards the higher one

TQA8 has invaded ATQ South territory. Preparing to destroy.

After their most recent failed attempt at invading Autzen,
I think the damage is already done.

I shall finish the destruction.

If you’re still looking for the true SFO experience, drag your parents (or whoever) to Dottie’s True Blue Cafe if you’re downtown some morning.
It’s worth the wait. And there will be one, so don’t forget your PSP.

Would I be wrong in referring to the Virtual Boy as ‘The Ryan Leaf of video game consoles?’

The Sega CD is offended that you would even say such a thing.
They call him Rags. Where he goes, no-hitters follow.

Interesting call.
Nintendo recovered from the Virtual Boy.
Sega CD befell the Sega Saturn and Dreamcast…
However, the Virtual Boy featured a marquee game based on Waterworld.
It’s a toss up.

Boooyahhhh!!!
That was the greatest game of all time!!!! I used to dream of red dots beeping after me!
We had that game
Once you figured it out, it took like 14 seconds to beat every single time you played it. And the only difference in higher skill levels was that the red dots moved faster.

Why didn’t a ‘defender’ ever try to jump down in front of you when you were racing down the ‘sideline’ over and over? Those defensive red dots were the WSU of handheld games. No, check that. Even worse.
My favorite part was the lack of side scrolling
you just rolled over from one side of the screen to the other.

Playing this game led to guaranteed right thumb arthritis.
Thank you track, baseball, softball, and golf for ending my summer hibernation.
