National Signing Day: De'Anthony Thomas, the nation's top athlete, commits to the Oregon Ducks

PrintThe Black Mamba is coming to Eugene! De'Anthony Thomas, one of the top recruits in the country, has committed to the Oregon Ducks in a press conference held at his school this evening.
Thomas was long considered a USC lock, but Oregon never gave up him, and after a surprise visit this weekend, will be coming to the U of O. Thomas is considered one of the top recruits to come out of the LA area, ever, and Oregon got him right from under USC's nose.
While taking recruit from USC is fun, Duck fans should really be excited about Thomas' potential, and the impact that Thomas could make at Oregon. He's drawn comparisons to Percy Harvin, and will have a chance to play a similar role with the Ducks. While Thomas could play a number of positions, he'll get a shot on the offensive side of the ball, and that was a big reason he chose Oregon.
Thomas is one of the biggest recruits to come to Oregon, and I couldn't be more excited to see how Chip Kelly will use him. A player like Thomas, who is pure athleticism but is a bit on the small side, is made for a coach like Chip Kelly, that will get creative and use his talents to their greatest potential.
It's been a great day to be a Duck, and this takes that to a whole new level. With the talent and coaching staff in place,the future is bright. GO DUCKS!

One thing that keeps coming out about our coaching staff...
is how comfortable they make kids feel on their visit. Their open and honest with them…it pays off regardless but especially when juxtaposed with someone as slimy as Kiffin.
"Don't let what you cannot do interfere with what you can do" -- John Wooden
It makes a difference
And more importantly, it makes a difference to the players that the Ducks want. The kids who it doesn’t matter about and turns them off – a lot of them are already weeded out nicely.
And I love that Chip essentially said that today in his presser.

I just went through this 10 minutes ago, when she asked to spend the night at her friend’s house. I have to ask if her homework is done, does she have a change of clothes etc. That is a conversation not a message. Texts are to say “on my way home” or “I’ll be a little late” if it needs more than one exchange of information, then fricking call me kid!

We don’t even have a texting plan on our phones (my wife and I share minutes on a plan). We have told all our friends and family not to text us because it costs us extra. And they’ve graciously complied, for the most part.
I just hate texting as a form of communication. Conversation should be back and forth, not snippets of half-thoughts typed out in incomplete words and abbreviations. I admit that it has uses, but far less than the replacement for actual social interaction that it has become. Well, that and Facebook. But don’t even get me started on Facebook.
Defending maligned chants since 2009
While visiting my grandkids last June I had an amusing observation. My daughter and son-in-law were sitting on their sofa in the living room, watching some TV show I don’t recall. Both were actively texting. I watched this with some interest for a while, then asked them what exactly the fuck was going on.
They were texting each other, while watching TV.
Apparently, this was preferable to interrupting the flow of the show by talking to each other about it.
I shook my head and returned to my Reader’s Digest.

I have watched my daughter with her friends
They are sitting there in the same room and hanging out with other friends who aren’t there. They aren’t talking to each other. Just texting their other friends, it is quite a site to see. I just stand there and watch them all engrossed in their text machines, as ten minutes go by and nobody says a word, but they are all furiously texting to others not present. It is amazing. I commented on the wonder of it all, and they just looked at me like I was OLD.

My friends and I get together and play board games quite often, whether D&D or some other board game. I love games. I have fun playing them, I have fun interacting with the other people playing them, I enjoy strategizing and planning ahead for my next move.
So I’ll be intent on the game, or on engaging someone else in conversation, while everyone else is surfing the internet or texting in between their turns.
It really infuriates me. If you want to have a conversation with somebody else, by all means, go have that conversation. But if you want to BE HERE, PLAYING A GAME, please PUT DOWN THE DAMN PHONE.

I to enjoy playing D&D
And lots of other fun, and higher order games, it is important to pay attention to what the others are doing IMO. I don’t think that would be tolerated with the group I play with. I have a friend who is ruthless, and he may be willing to go through an alignment change to strike down non attentive player’s characters.
My favorite games: Dominion, D&D (of course), Battle Stations, Settlers of Catan, and who am I kidding there are too many. Needless to say I have to agree with your assessment of gaming.
"What the hell was that?"
"Spaceball One, they've gone to plaid!"
We play a pretty casual game, so I can easily see how that wouldn’t be tolerated at ALL in other groups. I would still prefer that they watch what’s going on at all times…
Dominion is great, Puerto Rico, Settlers, Race for the Galaxy, and Carcassonne. Carcassonne is awesome because my wife, who isn’t big on regular board games, loves it. And it’s pretty conducive to two player games, which is something that’s hard to find.

We tried the limited data plan
Until we got the dreaded bill for almost $1000, my daughter, and my niece both burned us by going thousands of minutes over the limit, and sending several thousand texts in a single month, they were literally on their phone for a couple weeks of the one month billing period. Luckily, ATT gives you one get out of jail free card, and forgave a large portion of the overages, because we agreed to significantly increase our plan, unlimited texts, and an ass ton of minutes with roll-over.
I know what you are thinking. Why didn’t I take their phones back? Because they are apparently unaware that there are land lines, and have you tried to find a phone booth lately? They no longer exist, unless it is at the police station, or outside a homeless shelter. I need to know where they are when they don’t communicate, and they are late.
"What the hell was that?"
"Spaceball One, they've gone to plaid!"
I’m sympathetic to your cause. My oldest is only 4, so we haven’t hit that stage yet. I’ve always desired to be an understanding Dad, trying to give my kids the freedom to do what they want as long as it won’t get them in too much trouble. But it’s going to be an interesting decision when they turn 8 and all of a sudden every 8-year-old has a phone and texts.
By that time, chances are we’ll have had to upgrade our plan anyway, but you never know. I’m trying to instill in my children good communication skills, but I’m not sure we’ll be able to resist the tidal wave of pressure to get the unlimited text plan, when that time cimes.

My 10 yr old is begging for a cell phone but I’ve told him he can’t have one until he’s 13. In related news, did you know that I am ‘The Worst Mom In The World’??
Daisy, here's a tip
My 10 year old was asking for the same thing. So when I recently upgraded my phone to a new Droid, I took the SIM card out of my old blackberry and gave it to my daughter.
Now she has a phone that can’t make calls or text or get online but can play games, use the calendar, notes etc. I told her, this is her test to show me how responsible she is with a phone. If she breaks it, or loses it, destroys it, oh well it’s a piece of junk to me now anyway, but she gets to show me how she’ll handle a real phone… when she’s 13 too.

Before y'all start getting too excited, consider this..
One school has been in the top 20 for five years straight in the recruit rankings, specifically 13, 18, 2, 19 and 19.
In that same period, that team averaged about 6 losses per season, and only won 9 games once, and had a losing record this year.
Now, this could just be proof that it ain’t the recruits, it’s the coaching. And I’m not implying that we’re Clemson. Just pointing out that it’s easy to get all worked up over kids who haven’t put on the pads and neon socks yet.
Oh, and Clemson has a “better” class than we have this year. #8 overall.

Drumline's a much more compact and precise group.
I’d liken it to a 200-student lecture hall vs. a 15 student discussion section with the Prof.
I’d say that there are an awful lot of college bands, drum corps, and even high-level high school bands that do what we do and better, just because it’s a bit much to ask one director to turn 200+ busy college kids into a perfect performance on 2-3 practices a week.
But I’m never disappointed by how clean our drumline is, how knowledgeable the instructor is, and how they work/gel together as a group. Maybe that’s just cuz I march brass, and the unknown nature of percussion impresses me all the more when I see sticks flashing across heads faster than I can see, but I’ve been marching 6+ years now, and they continue to impress.

Oregon Ducks. Undefeated during regular season vs SEC since 1977.
My theory about what I think what Chip is going to do to solve our concerns:
1) To play faster
2) Use more players/talent
Play the offense more like he does the defense, eg., have 2 platoons of players ready to come in as a unit, make up your own ‘teams’, say Bennett and Lache, Curtis White, Eric Dungy, DaT, plus Grasu and 4 linemen (pick ’em) and then DT, LMJ, KB, Williams plus Mana Greig and 4 linemen, keep rotating, wear down the oppositions defense, keep our guys fresh with more speed and fewer injuries.

A word of warning!
I decided to head on over to Conquest Chronicles to see what was being posted over there. Not a word about DT. As a matter of fact, they were bad mouthing Torian White for switching back to UCLA (because of his mom) and bashing Neu-weasel (which I completely support). So I make one, small comment about Kiffin competing with Neu-weasel for sleaziest coach in the conference (as if this comment would be controversial), and the next thing I know, I’m banned and my post has been deleted!! With much restraint, I wasn’t truly trolling, just pointing out some indisputable truths about their coach! Needless to say, over there, the are a very sensitive bunch. Also, the fact that there is no mention of losing their biggest recruit shows how pompous those a$$es are!!
"As if this comment would be controversial" on a SC homer board?

I really meant it in the view of the rest of the conference, or the nation, for that matter. But seriously, if they don’t think their coach is a lightning rod for controversy they’re either completely ignorant or incredibly narcissistic. Maybe both.

3. Every fan base is sensitive.
If a Husky came over here and started saying things about CK, you’re damn right I’d want him banned. And you know what? I think any bad thing about CK is disputable, because he’s my coach and I love him. I have to imagine the Trojans feel the same way about Kiffin.

I think he might become my new favorite Duck in a year or two.
Talking about getting his degree and his education, promising to come back and coach (which might not happen, but it shows how much his high school family means to him), wearing the “12-O” shirt to remind the ‘SC guys how badly we beat them this year, and just his raw and endearing emotion…seems like a sweet kid who’s going to be a great asset to the team in all areas, not just blazing past opponents on the field.

A year or two is all we have left with Kenjon. Also, there might be room in my heart for the both of them.

I award you two bonus points for making up a word that seems like it could be a real word.
But I take away three for spelling it with an “s” instead of a “c.”

Did he say his dream is to come back and coach his high school football team?
I can see why Chip and the staff liked this kid.

Ok look at these weapons on offense
LMJ
Barner
Seastrunk
D Williams
Carson
Tuinei
Huff
Lowe
Hawkins
Blackmon
Kelley
De Thomas
Vaughn
Sumler
and none of that even includes probably our deepest position, TE which has Paulson, Williams, White, French and Lyerla.

Oh, and that's just a ridiculous amount of talent.

Here's the best part
Out of all of that, we’ll have 3 seniors (Tuinei, Paulson and B Williams) and that’s if you include the QB’s.
Do we even recruit offense next year?

I'm not so sure about that
We’ll be losing 2 d-line guys from our 2 deep next year (Turner and Hanna) and we’re bringing in 2 guys this year, and we’ll still have Hart, Jordan, Heimuli, Keliikipi, Ebert, Lake, and Anderson and maybe Remington.
We’re still going to be pretty deep, so we may add 2 D-line next year, and we’ll still have to listen to people complain we didn’t get enough d-line recruits.

Exactly.
This depth basically makes it so the players are recruiting us, and then we get to choose. At least for next year.

not sure if anyone caught this article about Snoop’s Youth Football League in LA but it’s worth a read:
And there it is, the connective tissue linking Snoop to Garrett: 14 of Garrett’s Crenshaw players started in the SYFL. There are Snoop alums all over the Southland, but Crenshaw is where the impact is felt deepest. Garrett’s seniors, including five-star USC commit De’Anthony Thomas and FBS prospects Marquis Thompson and James Brock, are members of the league’s second unofficial graduating class.

it comes full circle:
In all, Burton (Portland State) and his staff signed 18 players, 13 freshmen and five junior college transfers. Additionally, former Central Catholic star and All-American defensive lineman Myles Wade is expected to enroll and play his final year of eligibility.

That is a bit of a stupid thing to say.
There are all kinds of reasons kids end up as JC’s. Most of the time it is becuase they were not developed enough out of high school or didn’t get enough exposure. Sure, some of them may have academic problems but to call them stupid is rather classless and careless.

I'm happy about Thomas, really. But I keep thinking about the last time we snagged the highest-rated recruit out of California.
It didn’t work out too well.

Not saying they do.
Things don’t always work out the way you expect them to.This isn’t exactly a groundbreaking observation.
In ‘82, we stole Kevin Willhite out from under a UW commitment. Willhite was the brother of NFL semi-star Gerald Willhite, out of Sacramento. We mostly got him because he wanted to run track in the spring and Don James wouldn’t let him.
Willhite was the national player of the year, a consensus HS AA, and Duck fans were absolutely geeked to have him on the team. He’d run for almost 5000 yards in high school and scored 72 touchdowns.
After he signed, his HS track coach overworked him and forced Willhite to run multiple events, aggravating a hamstring injury. He had to redshirt in ‘82, and never did become Oregon’s next great tailback; he was moved to fullback when Tony Cherry transferred in, and finished his career buried on the depth chart. Over four seasons he ran the ball 182 times for 746 yards, and scored just two TDs.
Oregon Ducks. Undefeated during regular season vs SEC since 1977.
Different times to be sure.
I believe both our track and football teams are deep enough, and the stakes for all involved high enough, that we can assume a repeat isn’t in the offing.

By the way guys
I attended the Oregon State Recruiting Dinner tonight, and when Petros Papadakis mentioned that one of our former players played Arena Football in Boise, someone in the crowd yelled FBSU!
So there’s another ATQ reader for you.
Go Beavers!
Thomas To Oregon
While this is a fantastic pick up for Oregon, I wouldn’t exactly say that we lured him away form USC. It was actually more the other way around. He had always thought highly of Oregon and IMO instigated contact with Oregon first. From what I have heard, Oregon had never really contacted him because he had already signed with USC. What a great pick up this is for Oregon, largely due to the style of play, the win the day mentality in all aspects of life, and the possibility of being on the track team. Perfect fit! Welcome De’Anthony!

They once showed a clip of the Oregon offense to the French. The French decided to surrender, just to be on the safe side.
