Quack Fix: Hasay leads Oregon into Pepsi Invitational, Kilkenny looks back at the coaching search

Though basketball season is over, there's quite a bit going on in Eugene this weekend. Track and baseball are hosting big events, and spring practice is in full swing. Here's your quack:

  • Oregon Track and Field is hosting the Pepsi Invitational this weekend, and Oregon star Jordan Hasay is looking forward to her first run at Hayward Field this year. One of the most interesting events of the weekend will be the women's 1500m, which features Hasay, Oregon's Becca Friday, Washington's Katie Flood, and Nebraska All-American Stephanie Marcy. Hasay is feeling good about her chances, now that she's recovered from her epic performance in College Station a few weeks ago.
  • While Hasay will be the main storyline of the meet, there are a number of new Ducks that look to make an impact. Sprinter English Gardner has already set the indoor school record in the 60m and her performance will be very important in Oregon's push for the national title. The men have their own up and coming sprinter in Mike Berry, who will be running the 200m and 400m.
  • Oregon baseball needs some good news, and fast. They sit at 0-3 in conference play and host Washington this weekend. They aren't panicking yet, and Washington and their staff ERA of 5.50 will give them a good chance to get those bats going.
  • George Schroeder caught up with Pat Kilkenny to discuss the hiring of Dana Altman. One year ago, Kilkenny and the Oregon athletic department were being blasted over a coaching search that was perceived as floundering and overreaching. And in many ways, it was. But Kilkenny's hard work during that time is paying off in a big way. The Altman hire is being universally praised, even by opposing coaches. Now, one year later, it's interesting to hear Kilkenny's side of the story. There were so many rumors about the search that were not really true, but they were certainly played up in the media.
  • One of the big questions that was discussed in the quack fix yesterday was Oregon's wide receiver situation this coming fall. With only two returning receivers having more than 4 receptions, someone will have to step up. Justin Hoffman is one candidate to fill the void left by Jeff Maehl and D.J. Davis. Like the other Ducks, he's working on improving each day, and hopefully that will pay dividends.

That's it for now. If you have anything else to share, leave it in the comments. GO DUCKS!

I think Vaughn will end up in the 3rd receiver spot.

Seems like he’s the best mix of talent/ready to play of the guys behind Huff and Tuinei.

Came is as a running back.

That being said, if he is “as advertised,” I think it will be very difficult for CK and MH to resist using him as a TZR, K&P/R etc this year.

They're trying to look serious
Want evidence that the N.C.A.A. is serious about this stance? It has asked every F.B.S. program that has subscribed to a recruiting Web site to report it as a secondary violation.

But my understanding is a secondary violation is so insignificant it hardly even registers, so this won’t hurt anybody.

I agree it makes no sense

I think this is obviously not UofO-specific, but was mentioned in the aftermath of the “STORY ABOUT HUGE RECRUITING VIOLATIONS AT A TOP 10-12 TEAM” (which we now know, ended up being no big deal). One of the articles I read interviewed someone (Flenory?) who wanted to provide rosters, videos, etc., in addition to his 7X7 camp. The NCAA said they couldn’t do both, so he stopped providing information because the camp was much more profitable.

Perhaps this is to stop Rivals (and other organizations) from doing their own 7×7 camps? Running their own camps would allow them to have non-scholastic content on their site, which of course, is subscription-based.

Or, this could make the playing field more level in terms of what schools pay to recruiting services. If the information is available to the public, a service can’t shop schools and say, “Listen, this video of 5* recruits is not available anywhere else, so you’d better pay top dollar or I’m going to find someone else who will.” Doing so would make it more difficult for services to inflate their costs to cover steering a recruit.

by DuckUntilDeath on Apr 10, 2011 2:53 PM PDT up reply actions  

And it still doesn’t prevent coaches from going to non-scholastic events not held on their own campuses (or is it any school in the NCAA?) Does anyone know if coaches, non-employees of the 7X7 camps, etc. can film at the events?

by DuckUntilDeath on Apr 11, 2011 9:31 AM PDT up reply actions  

Yeah, this isn’t about Oregon at all. And for all that the media wants to push the Lyles story, that’s not about Oregon either.

I just have no clue what this move to come down on Rivals and others does. I mean, it’s a very small expense to colleges, so it doesn’t do anything except keep colleges and the scouting services from getting a little too cozy. But has that really been in question? It seems like not letting colleges use relatively public services like Rivals will simply push that more into the gray areas of college football.

--AddictedToQuack, SBNation's Oregon Ducks blog

by jtlight on Apr 11, 2011 10:00 AM PDT up reply actions  

I just thought of this

Maybe the move to eliminate free subscriptions for coaches was a move to disentangle them? If Rivals was steering recruits (or doing something else unsavory) it would be really easy for an institution to purchase X number of subscriptions at $10 a month to make it look legit.

Or, perhaps this is part of a larger roll out of new/updated rules and this was what the could agree on for now? Idk. I’m this is the case because this doesn’t make much sense, especially when comparing it to the stories that broke in the past 2+ years.

I think this may be the first song

that I can probably quote most of the lyrics from without ever hearing it.

Here is the best version (although it’s probably not nearly as funny if you haven’t had to sit through the original).

i'm not too concerned with our receivers

with the young talent coming in we’ve got deep threats, speed, and we’re really just lacking a go to guy, which could be either huff or tuninei.

they say the further you line up from the ball the better you can play right away. so i’m not too worried.

Competition Days?

Is there a set schedule for which practices are competition days? I think I’m going to try and go down there in the next 2 weeks to see a practice, so I’m looking at the calendar and trying to pick the best one. Don’t worry, if Axemen get’s hit in the face by an errant pass I won’t tweet about it. I’ll just list him as day-to-day.

Signing up for O-Zone is a recruiting violation. Please pay the fee and slap yourself on the wrist.

I'm pretty sure it's illegal to do to Cliff Lee what your Atlanta street gang did

In fact, I’m pretty sure it’s a felony.

Our baseball team isn’t very good :(

Our starting pitching is. Our hitting isn’t. We have 3 guys hitting over .300 (with Aaron Jones the highest at .310). We have 6 guys hitting worse than .200. That’s horrendous.

NOmaha... so far

What gives? I thought we were secured a place in Omaha by now. Sigh. At least in football we’re practically secured a BCS berth this far into a season.

This is kinda sad

From the RG

Nike, apparently, remains confident the Ducks (14-12, 0-3 Pac-10) will dance into the NCAA postseason for the second straight year. Horton said Nike designers have created special uniforms for the Ducks if they advance to the College World Series in Omaha, Neb.

I think I would have kept this to myself if I were Horton.
