If you can watch/listen, Chip Kelly is live in his post-signing press conference, after the Ducks inked 22 new players to the team, in what is one of the top classes in school history.

[UPDATE - 9:51 AM] Ricky Heimuli has committed to Oregon! Rivals is reporting that he's signed his LOI, though as always, nothing is official until the athletic department releases the names in a few hours. In other news regarding Oregon targets, Duck Territory is reporting that Josh Huff is going to be a Duck. Also, Chris McCain is going to Cal.

National Signing Day is finally upon us! Unfortunately, it looks like the wait will continue longer than it has in previous years. While the athletic department used to release each name as each signed letter of intent was received, this year, all names will be released at the same time, once all letters are in.

In the meantime, we're looking at one of the best classes we've ever had at Oregon. The only class that's in the same ballpark is the class of 2007. While this class will likely not have as many 4-star players, but it should be much more balanced and complete from top to bottom.

A few things to keep our eyes on today: Ricky Heimuli, who still has Oregon even if a commitment is not likely, will be announcing at 9:30AM on ESPNU. Christian Thomas, another unlikely but still possible commitment, will be announcing at 12:00PM on FSN West. Anthony Jefferson, thought to be all UCLA but still with Oregon on his list, will be announcing with Thomas. Also, the only Duck commit that may provide a surprise to the Ducks is Chris McCain, who may follow Gabe King to Cal, though I can't find an announcement time right now. Also, while no official announcement time is set, we'll want to keep our eyes and ears open for Josh Huff and Erick Dargan, who have both been thought to be Oregon leans for some time. And who knows, maybe we'll be lucky enough to have a surprise or two.

So, the wait continues. In the meantime, here are a few important links and a couple articles to pass the time.

• The various Oregon Athletics sites should have some good stuff all day long.At 8AM, Jerry Allen will be hosting Go Ducks Live. There's sure to be a lot of recruiting talk, so that should be a good way to pass the morning until the LOIs are released. Chip Kelly will be having a signing day press conference at 1PM. Unfortunately, this is a GoDucks.com premium event, so if you don't have an account, you're out of luck. I'll be refreshing OregonGridiron.com often. Sounds like they're gonna have some cool features on the newest Ducks. The Oregon Football twitter feed will also likely have a lot of good info.
• The Oregonian has a good piece on the Ducks recruiting class and the rise of the Oregon schools.
• Matt Hinton continues his yearly argument that recruiting rankings matter, and matter a lot. Recruiting is how a program can really take that next step. It's exciting to see the Ducks really stepping up in this area, especially in Chip Kelly's first year.
• SBNation.com will have all the national recruiting news updates, which will have to keep us busy until the Athletic Department decides to release the signed letters of intent.

It's an exciting day to be a Duck! Stick around to discuss, and share any news or gossip. We'll keep the main page updated with breaking news, but make sure to check out the comments as well. GO DUCKS!

Though it had been reported from various sources for some time, Chip Kelly made it official today: Garret Embry, Terrance Montgomery, and Andrew Iupati are no longer members of the Oregon football team.

Garrett Embry had been officially dismissed from the team on January 8th for violation of team rules. Interestingly, this dismissal happened long before the theft accusations which originally surfaced on January 25th. Iupati has transferred to Humboldt State University. Iupati had redshirted this year, after transferring from Golden West Community Colleg. Montgomery has decided to give up football. Both Embry and Montgomary remain enrolled in school.

While it's sad to see Embry go, his production will be easily replaced. But the loss of two defensive linemen will no doubt make Duck fans worry to some degree. However, as both players were upperclassmen and decided to move on from playing football at Oregon, I can only assume that they had seen the writing on the wall in terms of playing time.  With this move, it is doubtful that they would have played a significant role during their time at Oregon. Unfortunately, if Oregon suffers significant injuries on the defensive line next year, they will be very thin, and makes the line an even bigger recruiting need in 2010, and likely 2011 if signing day goes as expected.

Lache (pronounced "Lake") Seastrunk, one of the top RB's in the 2010 class, and a 5* running back listed as 3rd in the nation according to Rivals, has verbally committed to the Ducks during a press conference at his high school in Temple, Texas. Seastrunk chose Oregon over USC, Auburn, LSU, and Memphis.

Seastrunk has widely been regarded as the "next Reggie Bush," due to his incredible speed and agility. In Chip Kelly's offense, we can be sure that he will be used to his greatest potential.

Seastrunk adds yet another big player to Oregon's 2010 recruiting class, which is quickly shaping up as one of the best in school history.

Look, I know we all need our quack but unfortunately our supplier is late coming in from the "undisclosed facility". We understand the needs that people have and we are COMMITTED to providing the best quality quack out there. We appreciate your patience as we send out the ATQ Army to constitute a "police action" to make sure we get the quack in an orderly fashion.

To tide you over, we bring you Media Wednesday a bit early. I know we like to deal in all things Quack here at ATQ but this video made me wonder if Chip Kelly would participate in something similar. Obviously Pete is promoting an appearance but you can't help but smile at the idea of him agreeing to the subject of this vid.

So we've had a night to sleep on the idea:  Lane Kiffin is the new head coach at USC.  My reaction:  I think its fantastic.  This has every appearance of a rushed hire that was not well thought out.  Certainly, Kiffin and his "all-star" cast of assistants-uber-recruiter Ed Orgeron, Defensive guru Monte Kiffin, and, quite possibly, the return of OC Norm Chow, will be relentless recruiters.  The thought that SC would have a down class this year is now out the window.  Kiffin was putting together a fantastic class at Tennessee, and if he can keep most of the SC class in tact, and perhaps poach some of the UT class, as he was reportedly trying to do last night, SC will be a top class again this year.  And it seems to me that's what this hire had in mind:  save the class.  But despite the recruiting prowess, there are many reasons to be excited about this hire if you are a non-SC Pac-10 fan.

The first thing you need to know about Lane Kiffin is that he is the biggest ass in college football.  I'm guessing it won't be a week before he is needling Oregon and Washington and UCLA, his arrogant sense of entitlement think that he'll walkover all of them like its 2005.  CK and Sark will be smart enough to ignore it.  Neuheisel will be stupid enough to engage in it.  And it will just make all of us-who were pretty ambivalent to SC under the Carroll era-pretty much hate them.  SC fans will love it and call it a "swagger," failing to realize that he's a bottom feeding cretin who will be a blight on their university.  You though Mike Stoops was an ass?  Mike Stoops is Tony Dungy when compared to Lane Kiffin.

I know what you're saying:  "that stuff is really for the fans, this hire will be judged by wins and losses."  And to a large extent, that's true.  But its almost universally believed that SC has probation coming up soon-for sure a loss of scholarships, and a bowl ban is a big possibility.  The NCAA will be watching SC like a hawk.  And not only was Kiffin the biggest ass in college football during his one season at UT, he was also a walking recruiting violation.  And he was one of the key figures in the SC program during the time that the violations occurred.  I have zero faith in his ability to recruit cleanly.  If his SC tenure goes anything like his UT tenure, SC will be mired in probation, and Kiffin will be canned in three years.

Several recruits for Oregon are playing in the game with some scheduled to announce their choices. Talk about the game below and hopefully we'll get some announcements on some key guys for next season.

Media: NBC, 10-1pm

Samie Parker is one of my favorite ducks from yesteryear and in searching for a media wednesday clip for this week, I just couldn't pass this one up. Pure speed as he just runs out and catches the 79-yard bomb from Joey Harrington to take the lead on the Colorado Buffaloes in the 2002 Fiesta Bowl. Parker had a big day, catching 9 balls for 162 yards and this score.

For those that are twitter inclined, you can follow Samie at @SAMIEPARKER
