Quack Fix: Hamani Stevens returns to the football team, LSU compliance department shows how its done

Email
PrintIt's a pretty interesting morning for quack, so come and get it!
- While we've known for a while that Hamani Stevens was back with the football team, Rob Moseley has an article on his this morning detailing his return. To keep in shape while on his mission, he had to get a bit creative, but he's back, and 25 pounds heavier than when he left, which pleased Coach Greatwood. He's been able to "hold his own" in workouts so far, and is definitely in the mix for playing time. Moseley also his this video interview with Stevens.
- Yesterday the NCAA announced some punishments for five "major" violations by LSU relating to JC transfer Akiem Hicks. However, LSU received barely a slap on the wrist, and their compliance department was praised for their work. Hopefully Oregon has learned a few things after observing Ohio State, USC, Georgia Tech, and now, LSU. While LSU is facing more scrutiny regarding the Will Lyles situation, their fans have to feel pretty decently about how they'll fair with how their compliance department has handled Lyles.
- Ted Miller has his round-up of safeties in the Pac-12. Oregon is in 'great shape.' John Boyett is one of the top safeties in the conference, and I except Eddie Pleasant to take a big step forward this season. And let's not forget the depth Oregon has at the position. With players like Brian Jackson, Erick Dargan, and James Scales, the Ducks can expect stellar play this season.
- There's been a lot of talk about the Longhorn Network lately, and the Dallas News has an interesting note. While ESPN will be hiring all announcers, the University of Texas will have the power to fire announcers if they do "not reflect the quality and reputation desired by UT for the Network."
- So let me get this straight, paying $25,000 to a guy that has denied steering players anywhere is a very bad thing. But paying millions, that's just dandy. What else could we expect from the NCAA?
- Lastly, a few interesting notes I found on the twitters this morning. Matt Prehm notes that DE Tony Washington is up to 255 pounds after winter conditioning, after entering the program at 235. Moseley observed that "the DT-to-DT connection has it working." Lastly, he also had two views of some early construction on the new football operations center.
You know the drill, leave anything else in the comments. GO DUCKS!

Since it happened so late in the recruiting fame, I don’t think many of us know how good DaT actually is. I think he’s gonna explode as back-up in the TZR role behind Barner and shock a lot of people.

He’s the freshman I’m most excited to see this year. His talent is simply unbelievable. Though he is small, I really like that he is equally as good on offense and defense. Not afraid to hit or take a hit.

Not too excited about the center position in the LSU game
considering this
the ability to get the snap back on a consistent basis, which none of these kids have actually done in a live game.
I know that Stevens is a highly ranked guy and everyone expects him to be a stud but practice makes perfect, and our centers and QB haven’t had time together in a real game. Our offense relies on timing, if the snap isn’t smooth it will really disrupt the offense
I'm not as worried about this
It wasn’t a problem last year and I think they’ll fix it.

ATQ's #1 Bill Musgrave fan
Curse you, Offseason.
A posession guy has reliable hands and can get open but usually lacks speed.
They’re not the long bomb guys.
My parents believed in me.
Jeff Maehl was not slow
but he wasn’t a burner either. Getting behind blown or bad coverage speaks more to his ability to read coverages and execute routes rather than simply running by people.
Tunei getting caught from behind in the NC is a good example. A DeAnthony Thomas or Tacoi Sumler doesn’t get caught from behind.
My parents believed in me.

I know. I know.
Sorry. But on the bright side, we are seeing an infusion of speed at WR that we have not had for a long time (Sammie Parker/Demetrius Williams).
I think this will really stretch the field and add yet another dimension.

Maehl got caught from behind as well.

Yes.
A guy that can get open over the middle and make that 10 yard grab reliably for a first down. Pflugrad comes to mind. Even Paulson.
My parents believed in me.
They often are the type of guys you would trust to go to in to the middle, and expect them to hold on to the ball as they get slammed into the ground by the strong safety and middle linebacker.

Not only that, who becomes the blocking machine to replace Davis?
I think Paulson will be featured more this coming season to address the former. Huff certainly has the strength to hold off any DB or even LB in a block, as long as his heart is in it. LT is a walking pipecleaner but he certainly makes the maximum effort. I can see him being a “possession receiver” his season. He’s not especially fast, but he is very long.

I think LSU will be a close game
and even minor delay with a high snap or two – not a fumble, just a missed opportunity – could be a big factor. And with some of crazy high snaps you could be Yao Ming and not be able to bring them in. Just like to PANIC! about all the intangibles to kill time before the real game
I know it was already covered when the game first came out
but I looked and couldn’t find anything….I just got NCAA 2012 last night (Autzen looks incredible with the new atmospheric lighting effects!) can anyone help me out with how to update the roster to have proper ducks players’ names/stats (bonus points if it includes the other teams).
I found one good website that’s working on it right now, but the discussion board where the info was buried was 100 pages long of people talking up their team and disparaging their rival. It was almost as sad as reading the comments on youtube videos

please God let this be it.
my school has been a dead horse that has espn and other media outlets have kicked into a bloody, broken mess. not even the oregon scandal, lsu’s MAJOR recruiting violations or boise’s lack of institutional control has kept the media off Ohio State. i think this could though. please, please let there be some validity to this.
well...
only HECK YES we are THE Ohio State University, but still, the media attention has been offensively over the top.
I'm just saying that you are one of College FB's 2-3 most powerful programs

"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
that's true...
i understand it comes with the territory — but LSU is a major player in college football. they committed major ncaa violations — are put on probation, get a reduction in scholarships, and all espn does is write a story that’s fourth on their “top stories” list that lasts for less than 20 hours?
give me a break — Ohio State has received an unfair amount of media attention for their sins.
say for instance, it was a coach on jim tressel’s staff that made THOUSANDS of calls over the permissible NCAA policies. the internet would’ve exploded by now.

again, i realize why it's a story...
and that tressel lying and covering it up is an issue. but it’s crap like sports illustrated accusing 9 current players of receiving illegal benefits on heresay, which has been largely discredited by OSU. it’s crap like “cargate” that blew up like crazy even though every car sold to an ohio state player was legit. it’s crap like nearly everyone with a twitter account crapping their pants when ohio state responded to the ncaa with their self-imposed penalties, even though what we imposed on ourselves is in line with the violations committed.

Thank you, Adam. In one way, you crumbled to the ground, not unlike the aforementioned five hookers, perhaps baselessly alleged to have been killed by a high prominence certain not-candidate for Senative. This probably fails to draw attention away from the clearly baseless, malicious rumor mongering that Craig James killed five hookers while at SMU. We condone no such gossip, here say, or hurtful speculation around these parts. On the other hand, by distracting us, we as a society can collectively heal, and together, move past the latest in a long series of internet scuttlebutt, this idle chatter in particular related to the canards that Craig James killed five hookers while at SMU. Thank you. For being you.

I could be wrong, but aren't ALL of our uniforms "pro combat"?
As in, when the Wings uniforms came out they were all pro-combat before that style was released to everyone else, and the release of all those “pro combat” kits for other schools was just that tech/design being used to keep providing marketing opportunities for the new tech. That the wings jerseys were basically a prototype of “pro combat”, with the only difference being the shoulder wings design in place of the stitched wing/whisker things on other pro-combats.
So the news here is just a cosmetic deal (likely the home BSNCG unis) but not any tech changes.
Or maybe I’m totally wrong.
Apparently this is a NIke marking fail...
This is the Pro Combat gear:
It’s the base pad protection – essentially sports underwear – not the uniforms they have been featured with.
They have been making single-game uniforms for Nike teams that go with the base pad gear.
So when you look at this:
Don’t look at the socks, or the pads, jersey, or helmet. Look at the sleeves with the scales and numbers.

I realized my fail a few seconds after posting that when i glanced at the convenient "reply" button
I almost always just run away from guys when they offer their comments. This reply thing is new to me. Thanks for setting me straight. I really feel like I’m starting to fit in now!

It's clear to me why I'm on the commentator side of the blog world. I hope I'm at least generating laughs too.

Anyone have the TV schedule
for the 2011 games.
They're generally not published until much later
And the games are often shift networks and times, depending on rankings.

I just realized not a single comment on Hamani Stevens was made despite it being the headline.
Allow me to be the first:
Hamani good.
My parents believed in me.
Not sure if reply fail or reading fail?

Well
whadyaknow? I was even part of that thread. I searched the page for “stevens” and missed that one. Funny how it went from center to wide receiver…

And then it got weird

Here is an interesting bit of info from Sold Verbal twitters
RT @BryanDFischer Tex commit Connor Brewer: Coaches didn’t promise him 1 of his HS gms would be on LHN but he’s heard ESPN might put one on.
Hmmmmnnn….can you say violation?
My parents believed in me.
Goodness gracious.
It seems like the NCAA will have to step in and prevent the Longhorn Network from becoming a direct recruiting tool in this manner. Hopefully the NCAA stopped Texas from doing this in the first place.
Of course the network will give Texas even more exposure to recruits (not that it matters, Texas gets all the recruits they want and still posts a losing record anyways. Or they get their asses kicked in the Holiday Bowl by us), but promising to televise their games is absurd.
Self anointed President of the Kenjon Barner fan club.
The NCAA won't do jack
Because they don’t want to kill Texas but it should be a violation.

Brian Fischer also tweeted
that ESPN talking about a Texas recruit could be a violation…
Seriously, when networks and schools become so intertwined how can this not be a major conflict of interest?
My parents believed in me.
I've got a couple tidbits of information for you on that one.
@wesrucker247 UT also can fire ESPN employees if they “do not reflect the quality and reputation desired by UT” http://bit.ly/oUU6G7

ESPN color guy covering hs prospect Texas is looking at and says he’d be a better fit at Oklahoma, Texas can fire him. http://bit.ly/oUU6G7

NCAA says coaches can’t be on Rivals sites because of recruiting video but will allow Longhorn Network to televise prospects’ game. #nosense
The "Bill Simmons" of ATQ
That's nuts
If you’re going to do a network at least make it independent of the University’s pressure.
"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
Here's the funny part
Remember how coaches can’t be ESPN Insiders/subscribe to Rivals/Scout/DSA/etc because of “recruiting services” and how that’s a big no-no?
But put a prospective OUT OF F***ING STATE PROSPECT’S GAME ON NATIONAL TELEVISION, and that’s all puppies and rainbows.
NCAA=hyprocrite. Nuff said.
The "Bill Simmons" of ATQ
Um Lyles video was shit (at least for LSU)
Some of the video scouting reports purchased by the LSU football program last fall from Willie Lyles, director of the defunct Texas-based scouting service Complete Scouting Services, contain highlights of players who already were playing Division I football at other programs and poor-quality, full-game shoots that did not isolate or identify any players at all — information that would likely be of little use during the recruiting process, a review of the reports by “Outside the Lines” has found.
Some of the clips did identify and show current junior college players who could be recruited, but some of the highlight packages appear to have been used without permission from online sports-video companies that assembled them, and at least four players’ clips can be found on public video sites like YouTube.
"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
More
some discs contain chunks of games that were of poor video quality — some dating to 2007 — with no information about specific players on them. Four of the discs contain video of players that was publicly available on YouTube at the time LSU says it first began receiving video from CSS; one disc contains clips of nine players identical to video on scout.com; and two discs contain highlight packages from online sports video companies.
"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
I just hope we didn't get the same crappy video
"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
I'm sure we did.
I don’t really understand why coaches pay a lot for video, when there’s a TON of stuff out on the internet for free, or for very cheap.
I think that the NCAA’s ruling on banning Rivals/Scout and other like-minded sites really might drive coaches to the “scouting service” industry, which will only lead to trouble.
The "Bill Simmons" of ATQ
I hope we didn't
But the reason you pay for videos is because in certain states, cough Texas cough, HS coaches won’t give you video of recruits.
"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
Ironically,
Lyles “business plan” was not a bad idea. If he actually “pre-screened” athletes and presented 50 that could play for a certain school instead of dumping hundreds on a school, it would have been money well spent.
My parents believed in me.
Btw a recruiting service in that article
Is quoted as saying they charge up to $25k for their services.
Where have we heard that number before.
"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
Really, that number is a farce of an argument
the reason that it came up in the first place is that if a public institution in the state of Oregon is buying services for greater than $25,000 (such as construction, consulting, etc), they must put their requested services up for public bidding.
Ergo, when someone like C*Monkeyface sees that little tidbit, he’ll jump all over it and ask how Oregon came to that exact number.
The "Bill Simmons" of ATQ
Yeah I knew that at the time
I thought it was funny because of that.
"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
Are you serious? Of course we got the same crappy video.
That’s not what we were buying.

I don’t think anyone was saying LSU did it the right way. Their compliance just really knows how to cover their own ass.
--AddictedToQuack, SBNation's Oregon Ducks blog
Thinking now that maybe Oregon and LSU
might be banning together to paint Lyles as a scam artist or just incompetent.
Maybe both have something to hide and something to gain by discrediting him….
My parents believed in me.

rumor has it that they’ll be playing in an intramural football game somewhere in the Central time zone in the next few months in order to show their solidarity. Donations of canned food goods will be your admittance in.

One of Lyles's former employers is quoted in that ESPN article
As saying Lyles probably stole some video from their servers.
Can’t blame Oregon or LSU for that.
"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
Seriously
distributing copyrighted material and other junk means:
1. we’re lying about paying for video
2. or Lyles was the one scrambling to provide what he promised.

That, or Lyles is really really really bad at running a scouting service.

Cue Lyle's next interview
“I’m man enough to admit that I was operating in a grey area for LSU. Best to walk the moral high ground”.
My parents believed in me.
Did either school claim they got defrauded? No? Then they’re not going to claim they got scammed.
My guess is that they claim it’s not against the rules to overpay for shitty services.
--AddictedToQuack, SBNation's Oregon Ducks blog
is it against the rules to 'play a game' that might expose the recruiting practices of some southern states?????
"What you are entrusted to do as a coach is to create an environment where your players have a chance to be successful." CHIP KELLY
We don't know what Oregon has claimed to the NCAA yet.
I wonder which is the riskier tactic? It seems to me that claiming its not a violation to overpay for shitty services is sort of taking the NCAA head on: Daring them to prove you broke a rule.
I honestly don’t know what to think anymore..
My parents believed in me.
Honestly
At this point I don’t care what they told the NCAA as long as it’s the truth. I don’t care if they walked in and said we paid Lyles because we wanted access to a recruiting area where we’d been shut out for years, or we fulfilled an obligation to middleman that had given us a chance to recruit players we knew would be good for our system even though we knew it wasn’t 100% in compliance with the NCAA bylaws.
As long as it’s the truth, for two reasons:
1. Every time Lyles opens his mouth, if Oregon told the truth, his story looks weaker and weaker by the moment.
2. If Chip Kelly is going to hold his players to a standard of, if you screw up just be honest with me, then he needs to be held to that same standard.
As for what the media thinks they’re entitled to know, on a list of 1-10 of who I want to know, understand and be on the same page with Oregon during an NCAA investigation, the media ranks about 6,538th. Fuck them.
