Some talk about Hodgins committing to OSU today and the talk of Luton, so that’s all fair game, along with the hoops game tonight at 7.
I’m encouraged by the Luton news. Maybe something finally clicked for him.
Go Beavs

Go Beavs
First time first. Got to be a quick Beaver.
Is Thompson playing tonight?
I’m remaining neutral on the Hodgins stuff till he actually amnoinces something ( and signs in december)
Beavs have been Charlie Brown far too long. Seen this scenario before.
“Of all the Charlie Browns in the world, you’re the Charlie-Browniest.”
247sports.com now predicts him going to the Beavs. We shall see. Is he commiting tonight or tomorrow night. Seeing some conflicting reports in this.
He tweeted last night that he’s committing after his game, which is being played tonight at 7:00. So expect something around 9:00, or however long a highschool game takes these days.

Charlie Brown wears an orange polo.
I think we can party now.
Game’s on espntres. Question of the night, will anyone show an interest or ability in running the offense?
The backcourt performance vs Lamar was the worst I’ve ever seen in my life.
It ranks up (down?) there for me too, although once while coaching my son’s 3rd grade team, I had 3 kids who could dribble. One game all 3 were gone on vacation. I let the other kids play point guard for 1/2 a quarter each. I also had to ask the other coach not to play defense outside the 3 point line. That was pretty bad too.
If Luton turns out to be a good QB prospect, combined with a defense that will be both more experienced and deeper next year, there’s no reason to think that team can’t win 6 or more games.
Will Luton come in with 4 years to play 3?
Luton played a year at Idaho and then a year of JUCO, so I think he’s either a 3 x 2 or a 2 x 2
Somebody messaged me to say Angie is teasing a potential visitor this weekend who is committed elsewhere. Curious if it’s the same guy I alluded to ealier in the week?

Who’s teasin who? In the words of the late, great Kevin Meaney, “THAT’S NOT RIGHT!”
Luton’s improvement and commitment might be providing some recruiting synergy and maybe influencing a commitment like Hodgkins?
Hoops related, several threads ago Jack posted a link to a pic of the Gill upgrades. The court was set for volleyball game and there was I think a protective black mat or some layer to protect the bball court? Anyway, I thought the black looked great and would make a classy looking basketball court. Not gimmicky and obnoxious like BSU smurf turf, but just really classy with the seat upgrades and seat colors going in Gill.
So if the Beavs end up with Hodgins, that could likely mean we get Charles Moku Watson. Currently we have 19 commits. 1 is Mission bound, so 18 really.
Add a Hodgins and Watson amd we’d be at 20 scholarships.
Then, we would have 5 spots remaining for guys like Calvin, Evans, Nixon, and a couple of guys currently committed elsewhere. I think that would be best case scenario for us at this point. Would also mean a few guys would have to transfer or medically retire to open up enough spots to create 25.(which i fully expect)
There’s also potential for some of our current commits to flip elsewhere, so those last remaining spots will be an interesting things to watch.
Then you have to start looking at the WR position.
Next year we have:
Villamin-SR
Jarmon-SR
Hawkins-SR
Lucas-JR
Timmay-JR
Collins-JR
Sykes-JR (juco commit)
Collins-JR
Bradford-SO
Flemmings-(2017 commit)
Asemota-(2017 commit)
Taylor-(2017 commit)
Quantino Allen(2017 commit)(listed as a WR on some sites, but I could see him playing defense)
Hodgins (potential 2017 commit-early enrollee)
Calvin(potential 2017 commit)
Some people say that we have too many WRs in this class to take on any more (like a Calvin)
I disagree. Hodgins being an early enrollee could fill Tyson Penn’s vacant spot from last year, and he would play as a true freshman.
Calvin would be a True Freshman type player
Flemmings/Asemota/Taylor are all Redshirt candidates, especially if Taylor’s injury lingers.
That would give us 3 seniors, 5 juniors, 1 sophomore, 2 True Frosh, 3 RS frosh, plus several Non-scholarship players.
Add the potential for 1 or more of our Seniors to Grad Transfer, and we have no idea what Collin’s illness means to the team.
I think a haul of 5-6 WR in this class helps balance the numbers out.
Don’t be surprised if one (and possibly two) WR’s transfer.
Maybe if Andersen et al land Hodgkins, Chillin’ like a Villamin goes to Nebraska….
“Hodgins”
And hopefully out of all of those WRs just one of them can catch.
The one that can catch will be the one who can’t stay healthy. Luck o…..
Mr. Moran tweeted that little Stevie is “doubtful”.
Is this more than a “little hot spot” now?
WBB livestreaming now:
http://pac-12.com/live/oregon-state-university-2
Very odd watching this since the PA announcer and crowd are louder than the broadcaster.
Another brutal start. Did Stacy turn the ball over like this at JC?
Not sure, but he stinks all around.
He’s causing me to actually miss Duvivier.
Playing Tres Tinkle at guard now…..desparate times, desparate measures?
When is Thompson due back? Until he’s back the offense is going to struggle.
Replacing Stacy with Thompson will be nice.
I did not see anything about his status other than doubtbul as mentioned above.. Seems like it’s more than a “hotspot” if you miss three games. Have these idiot announcers even acknowledged that he’s out? Also, they won’t beat Tulsa on the road either. 2-3 after 5 games is likely.
Agree. I think they got desperate getting Stacy because of Derrick Bruce leaving. Wish Bruce had gotten his shit together.
Nevada 22-10. Oliver is in double figures already!
So the football team needs a QB and the basketball team needs a PG. Just fantastic.
Please tell me the baseball team has some pitchers…
No they have Gabe Clark playing first, Dallas Buck is an unheard of recruit, and Casey’s playing small ball. Better just stay away
Still butthurt.
It would suck to have Clark at 1st. I don’t care about the others.
This team is worse than WT’s 1st year with all those walk-ons. Those guys were better somehow. McQuaflin’ is a turnover machine and doesn’t play any D. He’s Roberto Nelson part 2. Stacy is a big recruiting miss — could set them back a while.
Shit, this is shades of the CR era with not defending the three. I hope STj’s injury is truly not serious and that Kone is a stud or this team is in trouble.
CR… What’s this “CR era” you speak of? I thought our last coach was Ralph Miller :)
That’s a nice thought, but that damn 26 year stretch of no NCAA’s seems to indicate otherwise.
I did have this weird dream we hired the president’s brother in law as our basketball coach lol
Tinkle said Kone would have started from Day 1 if he hadn’t been hurt. He’s a high-energy level guy. With the losses they had from graduation, etc. I figured this would have been a rebuilding year. I think it’s unfair to compare this team to any of Robinson’s teams. They have talent and coaching, just little depth and experience.
This team is a hot mess. I’m terrible at basketball, and even I know not to pass across multiple lanes like that…
Glad this isn’t on TV!
It is if you have ESPN 3. I’m watching this horror show.
Thanks for the info, but I’ll pass.
Wise man.
I can’t believe what i just saw. Who was that? He took a three quarter court shot with 7 seconds on the clock and Nevada gets the ball back and hits a three. WTF????
Bad guys 48-25. Would be Beava Cam Oliver 20 points.
Edit: It was Stacy who shot the ball from 75 feet away with 7 seconds still on the clock.
This is fucking scary. What the hell happened with playing D?
My perception so far this season is that it was mostly GP-2 playing the D last year.
We brought our D game, is that close enough?
Unfortunately………..
It’s nice to see that Stacy is following Duvivier’s fine Beav tradition of somehow missing badly two feet from the basket. Having a guard who can’t make layups is invaluable.
Malcolm is better than Stacy. Would not be surprised to see him back next year and that is not wishful thinking.
Gary Andersen and Wayne Tinkle still make me feel way better than Mike Riley and Craig Robinson did in their later years here. At least there’s that.
Nevada up 65-34.
Jon Warren says Nevada won the CBI last year. No wonder we can’t hang with these juggernauts!
nobody passes the ball
I know it’s just one game (well kind of two if you can’t Lamar), but this is awful basketball. No perceptible offense and lost on defense. It will be interesting to see how much getting STj back improves the team. He isn’t really a defensive juggernaut.
Remind me again why Cameron Oliver didn’t want to stay a Beaver????
No slots and no blackjack in Corvallis?
Plenty of sloots on campus though.
Cr got fired.
I think Oliver also had grade issues. I also remember Oliver and Manderson not being totally on board with what Tinkle expected from them. It may not seem like it now, but OSU lucked out not getting either one of those guys. Chai Baker was the biggest loss in that class… Good kid and good leader.
Coach Tinkle points to his team’s youth and inexperience. But that doesn’t excuse or explain what we are seeing tonight against Nevada: failure to get back on defense; failure to beat your man down the floor on offense; a general lack of toughness and hustle. Selfish play.
More evidence that there may be a chemistry problem developing with this group?
I think it’s a “no GP-2” problem right now. I don’t see a leader.
No Duvivier and no Bruce?
These guys are very close. No chemistry problems. Have to get Thompson Jr. healthy and sit Stacy. I think they got him primarily for his defense, but it’s taking him time to get the plays down. He is a liability on offense. Tinkle does have a complex defensive scheme with lots of switching. Not much communication on the court and that has to change.
It’s only five games in, but I’m not seeing any “wow factor” with Stacy’s defense and he is a horror show on offense so far. In general, they don’t seem to be running any motion or set plays. Just some screens and a lot of one on one off the dribble. This ain’t the NBA!
LOL Beavers are Tinkle Trash! SOOO BAD OMG ROTFLMAO!!! I can’t believe you people!
What kind of a screen name is pummel course?
Illiterate gymnast?
What do you mean “you people”?
That’s what non-people call people. If he was talking to emus, he would have said, “you emus.”
Hodgins to Osu!
Start the one more class to get eligible countdown. It’s never this easy for a rodent.
Exactly, great news, so he must be a NQ.
I thought he was an early enrollee? Already cleared and eligible?
Yes, early enrollee, should actually count against our 2016 class numbers (thank you, Tyson Penn?)
Forgot to mention that ealier. Keeps another slot open to sign a 2017 guy.
I actually think Calvin will be coming here too.
Read he’ll enroll in January, take part in spring ball. He also says OSU “has some good QBs coming in.” Not a slam on the current crop, but he must like what he sees/is being told about Moran, Luton, Willard?
Spring ball…hard to believe there’s but a week left to the season…
He played 7 on 7 with Willard, they must have a pretty good relationship. I wonder how much that factored in?
Nicebeaver didn’t Hodgins decommited from Washington state around the same time Willard commited here? Or is my time line off?
His decomitment from WSU coincided with when he recieved his Oregon offer which was in August.
He comitted to WSU in May, about a week before we landed Willard, so I dont think Willard alone caused him to decommit.
I really think OSU just out-recruited Oregon and Nebraska and were all in on him. They were the 2nd team to offer him (SJSU barely beat them to it )
I also think having Baldwin on staff still is key. Had heard when Baldwin got demoted, that really caused some uncertainty about OSU. Also, helps to have a certain female at OSU who I think recruited him here too. It was a total team effort.
We should build an airport before he notices.
So all good. Great job by GA if it holds.
. Also, helps to have a certain female at OSU who I think recruited him here too
Mamma Machado?
It was a joke.
Haha, no, not mama. That’s disgusting.
Somebody in his age bracket.
you are never one lacking in hysterics… must explain your Trump support.
You’re the one introducing the unsavory at the moment.
Need to sign a free agent guard to salvage the season. Give a finder fee and have Altman conjure one up. Plan B, let Syd W play on the men’s team. Any more Payton progeny available?
I like Plan B. Katie McWilliams isn’t too bad at the point either.
Pivec would be an upgrade.
Yes she would.
No she wouldn’t. But let’s pretend anyway.
4 Star Hodgins a Beav!! Yeah Baby!
Isaiah going to ge a baller at OSU!
Strange to see one of those player “who’d-I-pick” events go OSU’s way….at least in football.
Maybe someday as a sign of REAL commitment, a player will don a hat or three, then remove them all and reveal a tattoo…
Guy reveals an OSU tattoo. Then later reveals a “Beat” on top and “Go Ducks” underneath :P
Another nice part to getting Isaiah Hodgins, is it puts us in good position to pick up hos brother Isaac next year. Isaac a big OL/DL all conference player. Already nearly 300lbs as a junior.
I wouldn’t want the Hodgins’ monthly grocery bill.
They probably view it as an investment
I hear that one! My house has 4 boys between 16 & 21. Just try to keep groceries in the house!!!
Wow, so much for saving for retirement…auto pay deduct to grocery store?
Ha!
Flat-billing auto-pay to Cash & Carry?
and Costco and Grocery Outlet and …
CJ: Hang in there! From 1990 to 1997, my wife and I had 6 kids (4 boys, 2 girls). When the kids were teenagers, we were making three Winco runs per week for groceries. Nearly killed us….
Lots and lots of milk and eggs… and toast. What is it with toast?
Also have 33, 27 13, 7, & 5 year-olds.
I finally figured out what was causing this and took care of it in ’11. Whew!
You owe me a new keyboard.
Holy shit, that’s a spread. Do you have grandkids older than your youngest?
Yes, have a grand-daughter that’s also 13 and grandsons 11 & 8.
Wonder if in scouting Luton the staff found some other players there that might fill out the class? Any good lineman?
https://twitter.com/VCPirateFB
Ideally, if they could get some JUCO December qualifiers to sign, that would also help save space in the 2017 class for more 4 year talent.
Damn, I was hoping Riley would lay an egg this week vs a so-so team.
Maryland and Nebraska playing the I Got Blasted By Ohio State 62-3 Bowl.
Riley’s been serviceable this season. Beating the teams he has a talent advantage over, losing to the ones he doesn’t.
Just wait until he gets his kind of players in the program.
Exactly what I was thinking.
heh heh
#TPB
Maryland has been shit since they forced Ralph Friegden out a few years back.
Back whem he was a Coug commit, Hodgins was their most active recruiter, and they also picked up several commitments soon after he verbaled there. They also had a number of decomitments after he re-opened his recruitment. Hoping he can help entice some guys to OSU between now and February.
Good to hear! Maybe he can sway Calvin into coming over!
Any idea on the status of Isaac Garcia and Christian Wallace? They’re listed on the OSU FB roster. Did they get redshirted due to their academic status?
And what is Tysons Penn doing? Did he go to a JC?
He’s at a JC in Wesson, MS. http://colinathletics.com/football-roster
The Mississipi Juco system must be pretty good.
He’s at Colin? So is Craig Evans ex Michigan State teammate Montez Sweat. Would live to get that guy
From what I understand Wallace is redshirting and practicing (not 100% sure) and Garcia is at home working on qualifying (is really close).
I tried watching a little of the NU/Maryland game, but Dan Hawkins is so annoying as an analyst that had to turn it off. That guy is never going to coach again and he shouldn’t be on TV either.
Holding my nose and rooting for jaOSU over Sparty. Can’t have Biles limping into a Rose Bowl berth despite not having beat anyone. Best Biley wins are against Minnesota and freaking Wyoming, both in Lincoln. WE almost beat Minnesota AT Minnesota, and we stink this year!
“…Oliver hit eight of his first 10 field goal attempts en route to a season-high 24 points to lead the Pack to a surprisingly easy 83-58 win…”
“…The victory gave Nevada its first win over a Power 5 school since defeating Washington 76-73 on Dec. 8, 2012 and the 25 win gave Nevada its biggest win over a Power 5 school since defeating the Oregon State Beavers by 28, 75-47, on Nov. 15., 2006…”
“…He (Rakocevic) gave Nevada defenders more trouble than the more-heralded Tres Tinkle and front-court companion Drew Eubanks….”
“…Another key to the lopsided win was rebounding, especially at the offensive end. Nevada had 14 offensive rebounds leading to 12 points and won the rebounding battle, 37-32….”
If STj was not coming back and Kone was not out there with potential, I wouldn’t have much hope for this team. I’m not particularly impressed with Dew or Stacy at this point. GP-2 had already made a mark five games in to his junior year.
Imo WT needs to be a hard-ass with this team w.r.t. playing D and rebounding but I’m not sure he can do it with coach’s sons on the team.
In one of his post game interviews it seemed to me he was whining about shot selection, team ball, etc.and I understood him to say that he was “asking” the players instead of telling them.
Tres definitely has skills, but he looked like a little boy out there at times against some of Nevada’s rugged inside players and the disconcerting part is they are a Mountain West team. He needs to hit some threes to open up his game also. It looks like opponents are starting to scout him on his dribble drives too.
Imo both Tres and Drew are playing out of control and need some “guidance” from the coaching staff. Like frequent trips to the bench for real time counseling and time to reflect on what they’ve done.
Yeah… I’ve also not understood the use of G up to now. I understand Cheikh is much improved. But we should see a steady rotation of bigs to keep them fresh and to utilize all that size.
Big G looks like he can get his shot off inside almost anytime he wants, he is also a good foul shooter. Overall, he plays hard. Not sure why he was not getting any minutes in the first three games either?
Looks like Dantonio might punk Urbs and knock him out of the playoff again this year. 16-17 late in the 4th quarter.
Aaaaand… it’s still 16-17 due to Dantonio going for two.
?
Plenty of time left. No 62-3 this week.
Same difference now.
Their D is okay today, and you don’t take your chances with an OT FG contest?
No Charles Nelson for the first half of the CW.
Why not?
Targeting on a block.
I thought the suspension only leaks into the next game if it happens during the second half.
Apparently it is. I didn’t know that… probably because it makes zero sense.
Making it a thirty minute major would make more sense.
Since targeting happened in first half, he just misses rest of utah game, but is eligible for all of civil war.
Had he done it after half, he’d sit 1st half of civil war
Really?
What a dumb format for rule enforcement. Get your shots in before the half ends, and you’re good.
Surprisingly Quacks are out playing the Utes, but are still behind 7-3 late in the 2nd quarter.
Utes always have a head scratching clunker in them waiting to leak out.
They had it at Cal earlier this season, but you’re right. They have never been a offensive powerhouse. I have a feeling that when the Beavs get better they will be somewhat like Utah.
I don’t know why Utah isn’t just running the ball. There is zero reason to pass against Nikegon this year.
Looks like buckeyes will pull it out.
I guess it’s better than Smilin’ Mike getting to the Rose Bowl in his second season. I hope Iowa beats down the Huskers next week and they also lose their bowl game. 9-4 seems to be Biley’s ceiling. I don’t want to see 11-2 because that will send Husker fans into a delusional stratosphere with expectations for next season. And at 11-2 you will finish the season in the Top 10 if you are in a Power 5 conference.
If you care too much about the wrong things, you worry too much about the wrong things. We didn’t fire Riley. He ditched us just like he ditched us once before.
He deserves our apathy.
I’ve always hated Nebraska long before this and now having Riley just fuels my fire. I love to root for certain teams to lose!
And I’m not worried or concerned. I’ve seen Riley coach!!!!
Riley straight-up screwed us by mailing it in at the end of his tenure. I’m happy to root against him.
Watching Big Ten football instead of Pac Ref flag football for a change. It’s pretty nice. Way more entertaining.
Utes up 14-3 now. Dominating defensively. I’m surprised to see Carrington playing, didn’t I read that he knocked a random pedestrian down and broke his arm or was that another Duck?
Nevermind, Utes gave up a big punt return and then Ducks scored on a trick play. 14-10
No it was him, just no one from the duck athletic dept gives a shit. I think helfrich is scared to bench him, like he might get shoved to the ground and break his arm or something.
Remember, UO is a Nike D league with a school nominally attached.
Is it waiting for trial or is it not a crime in Eugene?
Last I heard it wasn’t even being investigated, it may be now….who knows. The guy who broke his arm had 3 witnesses. You’d think that would be enough for a mug shot.
Yeah, unbelievable.

It’s the same as with Laptop Mastoli. What do you expect?
OK fuckers, experiment time. I downloaded the the Sling app on my Kindle TV box and got the free 14 day orange package and and sports package that comes with all of the pac12 network channels and ESPN 1/2/3. It’s $25/month after the free trial. So far so good. Will advise.
So far the cougs are setting things up so that they can coug-it. Never-the-less I’m finding the game enjoyable to watch.
Utes falling apart on defense now, still up 21-17, but Quacks driving at the Utes 6 yard line.
Ducks just scored, shit I don’t want them to have any momentum going into the Civil War.
Utes left plenty of time on the clock to loose this game. Their D has been getting g cut up the last few series. Gonna be a nail biter in utah.
Fuck, assault an innoncent bystander one week, score the winning touchdown the next. God, I hate everything about the Ducks.
On the plus side, Helfy might stick around
Oregon just cost the entire pac12 a bunch of money
Pretty sure that’s on Utah.
Yeah… you pass more than 15 times on that D?
Checked the quack blogs. Predictably, nary a peep about Carrington’s alleged exploits of assault. Plenty of praise, though. Nauseating.
So Carrington will be suspended after the season for team punishment…
Don’t worry, I’m sure they’ll throw the book at him with a lifetime ban.
After he graduates.
