Quack Fix: One week until signing day, Kenjon Barner almost left for the NFL

With a week left until signing day, and our crazy Sunday night, there is a lot of recruiting news. If you missed it last night, make sure to check out last night's Tuesday Night Talk with Dave, Matt Daddy, and special guest Matt Prehm of Duck Territory, who shared some great info with us.
- Adam Jude's piece this morning is on Kelly's efforts on the recruiting trail. Kelly is visiting 3-star athlete Bryan Harper, Shaq Thompson (who was recently asking LMJ about Oregon), and Arik Armstead. He also visited Bralon Addison and Hawaii's Shane Brostek.
- A.J. Jacobson of DuckSportsAuthority has a recruiting update at the Oregonian. Among other things, he notes that recent visitor and Utah commit G Cedrick Poutasi had a good trip, and now "has to think."
- Lindsay Schnell has a piece on the minimal impact that Chip's near-departure will have on recruiting, which Matt talked about on the podcast last night also.
- Rivals has a list of the top uncommitted recruits, and predicts where they'll go. Oregon gets but one tiny prediction on Arik Armstead (here's some more on his in-home visits). Of note, Thomas Johnson is predicted to go to Texas A&M after decommitting from Texas.
- Kenjon Barner was on ESPN's college football live yesterday (full video after the jump), and in the interview he said that he was "extremely close" to leaving for the NFL, but came back due to a promise to his mom to finish out his degress.
- Last but not least, Josh from FishDuck has part 2 of his Rose Bowl play calling breakdown. With all that's gone on the last few days, it's always good to go back and look at that game.

I have a good feeling about Shaq Thompson
I just hope he comes here instead of UW. I really like him and it would be hard to root against him

From what
his best friend tells me, he’s not really feeling Oregon. Although, an in home with Chip may change his perspective…

First of all
if you’ve ever bought a ticket, recruiting violation
"Forget it. If 21 gets behind you, you can play the fight song." --Scott Van Pelt
No it's not.
It’s a recruiting violation if he’s talking directly to Shaq in an attempt to sway him. He can listen to an opinion from anybody he wants.

"If you've ever bought a ticket, recruiting violation"
So are you saying that anyone who has ever attended an NCAA football game cannot speak to recruits? This would effectively mean that recruits would have to be given the silent treatment by everyone in America including their HS coach and their family. I don’t think this is true.
If you've ever bought SEASON tickets, I suppose is the right answer
then you’re considered a booster.
"Forget it. If 21 gets behind you, you can play the fight song." --Scott Van Pelt
Well considering I live in Keizer
I don’t get to make it up there much. Never have I bought season tickets, nor have I donated to the school. I’m in college here in Oregon, it is not a violation in any way.

Only if you’ve actually given money to the Duck Athletic Fund, which is not all season ticket holders.

I’m pretty sure you have to give a minimum donation to DAF for season tickets. I could be wrong though.

That's not true.
I’ve got season tickets, and never donated to the DAF. The end result is that I’m in a row above 70. But there are non-DAF season tickets.
Here’s an example from Eckerd College regarding what a booster is.
http://www.eckerdtritons.com/sports/2009/7/21/compforboosters.aspx
You are a representative of Eckerd College’s athletics interests, more commonly known as a “booster,” if you meet any of the following conditions:
You have ever been a member of any organization that promotes Eckerd’s athletics programs (i.e., Triton Club).
You have made a financial contribution to the Eckerd athletic department or its booster organization.
You are or have been a season ticket holder in any sport.
You have provided permissible benefits to enrolled student-athletes.
You have ever been involved in promoting Eckerd athletics in any way.

So, like I said, who is the violation against if a season ticket holder does try to get a recruit to go to their favorite school
Would Alabama reasonably be held accountable for the actions of their 80k+ season ticket holders? How many times has a bama fan gone to a big time recruits HS game and yelled out a Roll Tide? How many times has a Texas season ticket holder told given a hook ’em horns to a recruit they see at the mall. How many uncles or cousins with ties to various universities talk to their family about what makes their school great?
These sort of non-events must happen hundreds of times to every big recruit. Is every university thereby guilty of hundreds of recruiting violations? NCAA is madness
You’re right. Policing this is a nightmare.

I think if you are related to the athlete
or if you know them for some reason that isn’t “them being a prospective athlete”, then the rules change.
It’s pretty obvious that if your uncle went to Michigan, and is a Michigan man, and wants to tell you about how great Michigan is, that this is ok.

So, they can take free t-shirts from a guy on the sidewalk, as long as anyone could theoretically also have the t-shirts. They can take cash from a relative, as long as the relative would theoretically help any of their other relatives in need. And so on.

I’m sure if you really analyzed a recruit/athlete’s life, you could find lots of little, tiny things that could be considered violations, and the NCAA isn’t quite so crazy as to go after all of those. But they are unpredictable, and often operate in ways that a normal human being can’t understand.
Fuck you NFL! Chip Kelly IS the highest level of football!
Yes indeed.
If you have ever bought UO season tickets, you are regarded as an Eckerd booster.
(But srsly, yes, I think that every school has essentially the same rules about who’s a booster.)

Essentially, any one that is a fan, cannot tell a recruit they need to go to their school of choice. Otherwise, it is a recruiting violation.
That means the student section telling people to come to Oregon. Telling a player over youtube, twitter, facebook, on the street, over the phone and stuff like that are absolutely recruiting violations.

A violation against against who?
Against the school that the fan is a fan of? So if I donate $100 to the husky athletic fund and then launch an organized social media campaign for Shaq to come to Uw does this get Uw sanctions, probation etc?
Nope.
There’s a twitter account named something like “DuckfamforShaq”. Not exactly sure. But either way, its the same thing. Regardless, I was just saying Shaq’s buddy says Shaq isn’t sold on Oregon yet but I’m thinking after a sit down with Chip he may change his mind. I mean, he’s at least find Oregon interdesting. His buddy also told me Shaq is no longer a Cal commit which may explain him taking down all the Cal stuff from his twitter account.

Realistically, the likelihood of Oregon or any school getting hit for fans reaching out to fans is minimal
it’s more of just kind of a dickish thing to do. Don’t do it. After they sign you can reach out all you want, but but it is morally/ethically wrong to try to persuade recruits to go to a school…they’re already considering their schools, you really think a tweet is going to convince them to now attend your school? Of course not, but it could really annoy them or find the fans of a school to be creepy, in which case reaching out to communicate with recruits is not only creepy and is a rules violation but it could also put a recruit off from deciding to be a Duck.
Just be smart about it folks, you can follow recruits, but don’t communicate with them until they have signed a LOI.

I strongly agree with the moral/ethical angle here.
We should all want the athletes to end up at the school that’s the best fit for them. We don’t know what their priorities are, or what they want to do with their future. Fans are probably the worst people in the world to give advice to a recruit, regardless of whether or not it’s a violation.

Agreed
It’s far more likely that a fan reaching out to a prospective recruit will do harm to the recruiting effort. See Shaq Thompson and USC.
Follow them if you want, but leave them alone. A football player in Ohio was getting death threats for committing to Michigan. I know it’s football and we’re all crazy excited, but lets not get crazy crazy.

I'm so glad that Chip Kelly learned from his BCS Championship Game mistakes.
From Matt Hinton, LSU ditched BCS plan for ‘stuff that we never did all year’
--AddictedToQuack, SBNation's Oregon Ducks blog
I suppose, what with facing Alabama twice,
they might’ve out-thunk themselves a bit, thrown too much “new stuff” to give the Alabama D a different look.
We criticized Chip for his playcalling in the 2009 Rose Bowl (too conservative), then blasted him for the fancy plays we saw in the NCG (don’t get cute). One could argue that the first was due to Masoli’s bad game and Pryor’s insanely lucky one, and FishDuck thinks that the plays were there in the NCG, the players just hesitated/made mistakes.
Still, interesting that the players themselves’ were confused with the coaches playcalling. Really was an abysmal showing by Les Miles and his staff in that game.

by Brass-billed on Jan 25, 2012 10:15 AM PST up reply actions
Did the players hesitating and making mistakes make it look like bad playcalling? Or did the new plays cause the players to hesitate and make mistakes? I don’t think it’s all of one or the other, but I would put more of the onus on the latter. I think one or two wrinkles is fine, but it seemed like there were more than one or two wrinkles, and that probably caused execution to suffer. You execute better when you’re comfortable and familiar with the plays, having run them 100 times ina game situation. When you haven’t run it in a game, and then you’re trying to run it against the best team in the country in the biggest game of the season, that seems like a tough situation to succeed.
Again, blame definitely falls on the players, too (particularly the o-line), but I don’t think Chip is exempt. He out-thought himself.
Defending maligned chants since 2009
In retrospect, this year we saw plays appear, disappear, and reappear all year.
Like the delayed option pitch @ Washington, which then immediately disappeared. So rather than try to introduce a bunch of new gadgets during the down-time before the RB, Chip tried stuff out in-game then filed it away for future use.

Ted Miler has the Pac-12 North Division recruiting needs
Oregon
Skill: In Chip Kelly’s offense, you can never have enough fast guys. Sure, Kenjon Barner, De’Anthony Thomas and Josh Huff are back, but there’s a lot of youth and uncertainty after that at running back and wide receiver.
TE: His name is David Paulson, but he’s gone. Colt Lyerla was a productive backup — at least in terms of finding the end zone — but after him things are uncertain. Tight end is one of the most underrated positions in the Ducks offense, so having more than one Kelly trusts is significant.
S: Eddie Pleasant is gone and John Boyett is a senior. Avery Patterson, Erick Dargan and Brian Jackson are next in line, but the young talent isn’t as certain as it is at corner.
I think Oregon is addressing those needs very, very well, especially at TE. Another receiver or two, or Shaq Thompson committing, would be awesome.

I just read that article
I think it’s a good piece and points out something I didn’t think about in “Why CK will coach in the NFL.”
Every April, Kelly could have burned all his early picks on defense and still found plenty of skill position speedsters on the second day of the draft
Kelly could load up the team with the guys that people covet like O-line and Defense and have plenty of time to draft skill players that he could make great. The issue is you’d have to be willing to give Kelly a couple of years to do build that team, which ultimately I don’t think Tampa was willing to do.
The All I Saw Was Green Blog, that's it I'm telling SBN legal
Very intreresting
I suppose the traditional NFL guys would say you need some of those big, strong, 3-yards-and-a-cloud-of-dust players for durability and to control the clock. But a team built entirely out of fast spread guys designed to operate in space would be an interesting change, especially if you throw the time of possession concept out the window.
You’re right though, you’d need to commit to 4 years of change to see if it could work, and most teams aren’t going to do that.
by JonathanPDX on Jan 25, 2012 11:49 AM PST up reply actions
Heck, even OLine is somewhat nice
Since most teams want their OLine to be big and not fast, you can probably grab a lot of UDFAs there too.
That being said, players like Sproles or LMJ (or realistically, Cam Newton) are going to go high regardless.
If I could kiss Nick Holt, I would. Though, with him, I’m sure it would end in deep penetration and a score
To play devil's advocate
Let’s say you give Chip Kelly a guy like Manning (either one) or Brady, he doesn’t need to run the zone read to score points. Or you give him a traditional big, strong NFL WR or punishing running back, and he can use that guy’s strengths instead of discarding him in favor of a track star.
We saw Chip go deep early and often with Dennis Dixon and crew, run the zone read a million times with Masoli, and then shift to less QB runs and a lot more straight dive plays and play action passes when he had LMJ. Next year I expect that Bennett will bring back the Masoli offense with a lot more designed QB runs and less extended pocket passing.
Chip Kelly is a smart guy, I don’t think he’s going to take a NFL team and rebuild them as a college squad. He would run them fast and create mismatches, but who knows what he would do with a solid, traditionally build NFL roster.
Good point
That begs the question though – what would Kelly go after for what he wants to do? So far, in college, he’s basically had to make do with what he can get or go after areas where they were underrepresented (WRs that are good blockers and okay receivers; faster, smaller linemen). What would he do if he could get exactly what he wants?
My suspicion is that he’d get a QB that is highly accurate and can run the ball. RBs that are faster rather than bigger who are also threats to receive. A number of players that can do multiple things well – receivers who can run, TEs who can double as slot receivers. And a line that is primarily built around movement instead of beating people on one on one matchups.
In short, he’d get something that looks a lot like the Saints with Cam Newton running the offense.
If I could kiss Nick Holt, I would. Though, with him, I’m sure it would end in deep penetration and a score

Recruiting
It doesn’t matter much maybe, but it does feel like we’ve stalled out a bit in recruiting. It’s been a long time since we received a commitment. I’m sure we’ll lock down enough people, but it has been unusually slow this month.
we have 18 commits
got most of the guys we wanted early, and are still in the running for a LOT of guys. I’m not worried.

Oregon loves you, Chip Kelly!
Kenjon
Really glad he didn’t leave. I bet the WSU hit weighed heavily on his mind. I think he is poised for a 1500 yard season.
On another note, the interviewer in the clip asked KB about the tempo of the offense. Reflecting back on the past season…does it seem like the tempo wasn’t quite pushed as quickly as it was in previous years? Or have I just gotten used to it?
It was slower, by a little.
We ran, on average, two fewer offensive plays per game from 2010, in a similar TOP.
Addicted to Quack
Death before chastity!
Correct
Tempo was down as Takimoto indicates. We switched a lot more personnel out on a per-play basis (probably because we did not have Maehl and did have DAT) and they enforced the subbing rules a bit more stringently (and correctly) than they did before.
If I could kiss Nick Holt, I would. Though, with him, I’m sure it would end in deep penetration and a score
We still had the ability to go quickly when we wanted to, but it seemed to be used a lot more tactically rather than as the grand strategy for winning.
--AddictedToQuack, SBNation's Oregon Ducks blog
Yep
I also think that we stopped doing the uptempo thing because we were preparing for the big games where uptempo doesn’t help much due to so many breaks. And if we’re going to have to slow it down, might as well do more packages.
It also makes the uptempo action when it happens potentially catch people offguard more.

CK really put an emphasis on running the clock out in the 4th this year, and pushing the tempo selectively.

Huh
Also, 2006? Kind of an aburdly weak draft class. Especially odd given the star power coming out – Bush, Young, Leinart all were there. But the actual results were fairly bad. The best QB that came out was…Jay Cutler. Mario Williams has been good but not amazing (though this year he probably would have been great save for injury). Just an odd class.

It was when I went there. People called it the wettest dry town in the world.

I’m pretty sure it was still dry when we went and played water polo there with the club team in the early 00’s. At least that’s what I was told.
Defending maligned chants since 2009
I graduated in 2002, and it was dry then.
Sometime since then the town has become wet (the campus can never allow alcohol, as per the agreement with the family that donated the land), but I’m not sure there are any stores in town that sell alcohol.
Fuck you NFL! Chip Kelly IS the highest level of football!
Their pool was the best. One half was regulation depth at 12 feet, but the other half was only like 3 feet deep. In water polo, you’re not allowed to use the walls or the bottom of the pool, but it was virtually impossible to do that on that side of the pool, especially for the goalie. So the house rules were that they allowed the goalie to stand on the bottom, but they made the goal twice as big to compensate. It was pretty hilarious.

Yeah, i had a similar setup in the pool I played in for high school. The shallow end was only 3 1/2 feet deep. This actually made it really important if you won the coin flip to decide which side of the pool you started the game at—-you wanted to end the fourth quarter shooting at the deeper end where it was easier to score.

Thanks for Quack!
Saw 4th and Goal (Documentary) yesterday on the plane ride to Florida (official recruiting trip aka Decked in Duck gear) and I was really amazed how some coaches at college levels use their student athletes without regard for their well being.
If you haven’t seen it, it’s pretty good. I was watching it thinking about Chip and our other coaches and I would be very surprised if they would tell a player something like: We didn’t recruit you to have surgery but to play (once someone got hurt). Just seems strange to me.
I think our coaches genuinely care about our players and that is something I feel a lot of recruits pick up on. Seeing how much LMJ and other players love the staff and Oregon and how close he was with Coach Campbell makes me feel really good about our program and what we have going here.

I know this is extremely unlikely
But people around the internets are saying that Oregon has been contacted and briefed by the NCAA about thier findings concerning possible violations, and that the consequences of the violations are not severe.
Once again, just a big, unlikely rumor, but considering you guys know a lot of people around the university, have you heard anything?
Follow me on Twitter! https://twitter.com/#!/ConnorPelton128
The NCAA does not leak information.
They tell you by mass email or text that they have completed their investigation and will hold a news conference on such and such date at such and such time to report their findings.
Dammit! I can't find my driving moccasins! - Schmidt
They should report their findings with the same consistency with which they hand down punishment. Sometimes you get a telephone call, other times a letter or Strip-O-Gram, every third Tuesday they release findings by tying it to a balloon and letting it go, so whoever finds the letter gets to break the story. They may hold a prime time press conference to announce a minor infraction that results in a letter of reprimand, while massive sanctions may be unknown for years because the letter is buried in a time capsule in Birmingham, Alabama for seventy years to shock future generations with tales of excess and strip-o-grams.

This was Axeman's addition
So he and Der Berkernator can ban us all from AtQ

Moseley being on vacation every time something bad happens?

One of the all time greats
Guy Ritchie ROCKS!
Snatch
Lock Stock N Two Smookin Barrels
Latest Sherlock Holmes movies
RockNRolla
All GREAT movies.
ssshhh....
In my opinion, Snatch was definitely his best work.
I wasn’t all that huge of a fan of RockNRolla (even though I am still hoping for the sequel they hinted at during the ending of the movie).
Winners of the Platypus trophy!
Also a fan
He almost made Madonna tolerable by osmosis when they got married.
Haven’t seen RockNRolla or Game of Shadows (yet), but I really, really like his other stuff. The British Tarantino (that’s a compliment).

Outside of the Holmes films you can't watch his movies casually.
Both Lock Stock and RockNRolla I tried to watch the first time with other people, but when there’s conversation abound in the room, if you miss something you’re completely lost. Rewatching them on my own made me realise they were great films.

I had to concentrate on Lock, Stock just to get through the accents.
I seem to remember reading that’s why he did that whole bit in Snatch with Brad Pitt’s clan being completely unintelligible.

Whatever happened to AZ RB Dj Foster?
The guy who went for 500 yds and 10 tds? I thought we had all but locked him up?
I think the field looked too crowded.
Depending on what Graham does (dink and dunk passing functioned as the run game under Erickson), Sparky may have a definite, immediate need. Due to injury, grades and loose lips, $C had a big problem with depth at RB.

Senior Bowl Practice Report
Chris Polk/RB/Washington: Polk has been running hard on the inside yet shows no elusiveness or creativity. He gets high in his stance and on several occasions during Tuesday practice was stopped dead in his tracks by defenders and showed no ability to bounce around piles or elude would-be tacklers.
I’m confused. Wasn’t he the best running back ever?
See, he’s better than LMJ because he gets tackled and falls forward for 3-5 yards. LMJ is worse because he doesn’t let anyone tackle him and scores touchdowns.

The door to my office is in the outer entrance area to our NOC, which means not only is it private but it has limited card-swipe access to even get to my office door. If you want to visit me, you have to press an intercom button or have card access to the area.

That's rad.
Also… 95% of my daily work is done before lunch. I could probably get away with working 8-12 every day and still get the same amount done, with maybe a little telecommuting.

My afternoons are by and large deadspace…
When I first moved to Australia, I didn't have a personal computer
And my work computer had all SBN sites blocked, along with a lot of other ones (something about the comment sections). So there was about a 6 month period where I wasn’t on ATQ at all before I got a personal computer.
When I got promoted, I was able to self approve websites I needed access to. I submitted a list of about 30 sites I required, mostly business journals and news sites that had a lot of comments attached but made sure to sneak ATQ in there as well.

I'd never seen him play
Until his last year in the league. I made it a point to go up to SafeCo to see him. His first at bat he hit a bomb that looked like a home run that went foul… so disappointed. That is until his next at bat when he DID smack one out of the park. GREAT moment!
