Quack Fix: Future QB impressive in camp, Altman prepares for important recruiting period

PrintEven though we're closing in on the start of football, it looks like we're still lacking in the quack. At least we've got a Tako Tuesday and some good fandom stories to get us through.
- The Steve Clarkson Maui Super 7 QB camp is going on now, and two Oregon prospects are making waves. Current Oregon soft commit Jerrard Randall was described as possibly having "the strongest arm of any of the quarterbacks we have seen in person, on tape or both for the 2011 class." He can make very hard throws and is a terrific athlete, but he'll need to learn to back off a bit and hit some of the more finesse throws required in Oregon's offense. Oregon recruit Brett Hundley was also in attendance, and drew strong praise as well. At this point, it's assumed that Oregon will take one more QB, and it will likely be Randall or Hundley. Either QB would be a huge pick-up for the Ducks.
- While Dave chose to take an optimistic approach to the current basketball roster, it doesn't sound like Coach Altman shares that view as the summer recruiting period begins and build his roster for the future. With only two scholarship players that are freshman or sophomore (though one more freshman may be added before the season), Altman and his staff have a lot of work to do in order to get the team ready for the 2012-2013 season.
- In a bit of Pac-10 and Oregon future opponent news, USC backup DE Malik Jackson will be be transferring to Tennessee. Jackson is listed as a DE, but is also listed at 270 pounds, and could very likely get pressed into playing at DT, where the Vols lack experience and depth.
Got any quack to share? Leave it below, and help a brother out. GO DUCKS!

I think Altman and I were looking at it from two different viewpoints
My thoughts were basically that this season won’t be a complete disaster. Altman is looking at it more long term, and with so few underclassmen and especially so many juniors on the roster, its going to be tough to replenish the roster after those juniors graduate.

My god, they should take [The vuvuzelas] into the mountainous caves region of Pakistan and play them until Osama bin Laden comes running out, screaming, "OK, OK! I give!"
--Rick Reilly
It will certainly be a long road back
But I think Altman can have us competing consistently for a conference title (which should be our goal for starters) in 2-3 years.
The real test of any coach is where they are in their third season after all, since that is when their recruits are fully in place.

Agree totally. I probably could have made it more clear. But I also like having excuses to link to good pieces.

Isn't my quack addiction and excuse enough for you?

Go Ducks.....Ducks Go!!!!!
This is something Matt and I talked about extensively
He has to find a way to balance out the roster. The attrition so far is a step in the right direction, but with so many in one class, it makes it a more complicated job.

aboslutely
he’s going to have to get some JUCO guys, because that’s the only way to balance out that mess while still having enough active players
--Dave
Addicted to Quack, SBN's Oregon Ducks blog
Its either that or redshirt a bunch of guys
JUCO is the only viable option in that case. Otherwise, he’s looking at a 4 year min. rebuilding case. That and bball redshirts are rare.
The good thing with JUCOs is you’ll find out about his talent evaluation in short order.

This is OT
But I wasn’t sure it would be see in the Portland Meetup thread, so I wanted to post it here.
I don’t know what’s available up there in Oregon, so if you guys already have Stone beers available, I won’t bother. Unfortunately, most of the microbrews I enjoy down here aren’t bottled, but I’d be happy to bring up some Stone or something else tasty if people are interested. (Sorry for the wiki link – work filters won’t let me on the company website).
Speak now or forever hold your peace! Look forward to seeing many of you this weekend!

Sorry if this was brought up over the weekend, but I just caught wind of this. LSU is looking for a big non conference opponent for 2011, and Oregon is one of the top potential candidates.
I would be all in for this, but I haven’t heard anything about it from our side/press, has anyone else?
Might we actually get to experience the kind of amazing tailgating food LSU fans will come up with involving duck?
(1) Ahhh brain explode
(2) If we do decide that the 9-game schedule was just for the round-robin, and throttle down to 8, then everyone in the 12Pac is available. (Although we and Cal would have two holes in our schedules to fill.)

Something ominous in that linked story..
Oregon is scheduled to begin the 2011 season with a home game against Kansas State, but Wildcats coach Bill Snyder said this week he would like to adjust his program’s schedule to include mostly non-conference home games.
I smell a worst-case scenario approaching — KSU backs out, LSU picks Cal for the TV and recruiting exposure, and we wind up playing Eastern Washington.

I don't understand why they'd want to back it out
and neither do the 5 people I’ve asked otherwise (all friends).

Maybe they don’t want to fracture Chris Harper’s fragile ego any farther.
I liked Harper a lot and even hyped him up as possibly the next Anquan Boldin because of his move from QB to WR, but had to do it.

To his credit, KSU didn’t amount to an anal wart on the ass of college football untll Snyder figured out the path to success was strewn with guaranteed wins.
For those of you too young to remember, KSU pre-Snyder was a perennial Bottom 10 resident, right up there with Duke, Vandy, Rice, Northwestern, and OSU. In ‘89 the Mildcats had been playing football for 90 years, and had been stuck on 299 wins since 1986. Yes, kids, that’s 3 straight winless seasons. Not even Joe Avocado could pull that off up in Corvallis.They’d had only four winning seasons since 1945. That is an epic era of suckitude that makes The Suffering look bountiful.
It wasn’t just scheduling — Snyder recruited the jucos hard, and hammered winning thoughts into his players — but it’s easier to go 6-5 when you start 4-0.
Besides, the SEC thinks every team outside the SEC is a joke. It takes a lot of chutzpah for an SEC team to accuse any school of scheduling OOC patsies.

some Mariners fans at lookout landing blame duck fans for the loss
To summarize, a kid snatched a live ball rolling down the first base line that would have scored Ichiro and tied the game, at there home field no less. The kid was quickly booed out of Safco and because of his attire, the ducks became the perfect scapegoat. Although, I don’t think it was actually an Oregon jacket — just the colors. As a casual Mariners fan, I was angry at the kid for what he did too but it has nothing to do with the ducks.
It totally figures that it was a retarded duck fan that would do that.

I’m guessing the Ducks are to blame for the Mariners spending more than $100MM to lose more than 100 games. Or it’s the Ducks fault that the Sea-chickens won less than 1/3 of their games last year, and it’s also the Ducks fault that the Super Sonics had a terrible owner and moved back to a crap hole like Oklahoma City and took the only promising thing in that town with him.
Screw Seattle and their terrible sports.

I'm smart enough to know the losses Oregon had won't suddenly make them a crap team
A three headed running back and a ridonkulous defense tell me they’re the favorites.
Yep,
If there was any season to break in a new quarterback, this season would be it. We have our entire offensive line returning, and a ridiculous stable of runningbacks too. Not to mention our defense which should be even improved over last season. I am looking forward to the UW game this year SO MUCH.

I won't call our defense "ridonkulous", but they will be a very solid, improved unit.
