“The Sky is the Limit”

Watch the video. Seriously. Shaydon Akuna is a freak. His athleticism is described as “elite” and it isn’t hard to see why. The Oregon State commit is all over the field from his linebacker spot. His combination of speed, athleticism and strength made him the top recruit out of Hawaii and one of the top recruits in OSU’s 2010 class, if not THE top recruit. Says Rivals recruiting analyst Greg Ladky: Read more »
Class is (Mostly) In

UPDATE: A breakdown of all signees from the Corvallis GT.
Owa picks UCLA? That’s a little heartbreaking considering he showed up to the announcement wearing an ORANGE polo. Screw ‘em. I hope he loses four times to the Beavs.
You can find a complete listing of commitments here. A couple names to watch: Happy Iona, a 4-Star DT, apparently isn’t academically eligible to sign. He will probably spend a year or two at a JC. Hopefully he will continue to progress and OSU can pick him up down the line. The other name to watch is Soma Vainuku. He is a FB/LB out of Northern California (Eureka!). I had him pegged for Arizona State or USC (if they had the scholly available) but he is now planning on taking a visit to Oregon State this coming weekend. Word is Vainuku prefers USC followed by Arizona State. This is why I predicted ASU as I assumed USC would close strong and fill in its 2010 class today. However, apparently Vainuku’s family is making a big push to OSU. Sometimes that matters, sometimes it doesn’t. Or maybe I am all wrong.
More coming later on about what I believe is the greatest recruiting class in Oregon State history.

The Final Countdown (Duh-Duh)…Recruiting
Posted in College Football with tags Oregon State, Recruiting on January 29, 2010 by Quizz and Quon
National Letter of Intent signing day is Wednesday, February 3rd. Oregon State has a assembled a relatively small class due to the lack of outgoing seniors combined with several incoming greyshirts (freshman that did not enroll until winter term 2010). The class will almost assuredly be ranked somewhere in the middle of the pack for D-I teams and near the bottom of the Pac-10. And then the Beavers will go out and win 9-10 games and place in the top 25. Nobody in the conference, or the country for that matter, develops talent like Mike Riley and his staff. Here is a brief look at the current verbal commits (a list of open offers coming later today): Read more »
A Duck Repents, Becomes a Beaver
Posted in College Football with tags Oregon, Oregon State, Recruiting on January 27, 2010 by Quizz and Quon
Former Oregon Duck Dominic Glover has committed to Oregon State. Glover attended Oregon and played one year, suffered an injury in year two (medical redshirt) and transferred to Saddleback Community College where he played one year. Glover says he will arrive at Oregon State in May and will have two years of eligibility.
Recruit!

Above is Giovanni (Gio) Bernard, brother of former Oregon State great Yvenson Bernard. He was a Notre Dame commit but now it appears he is down to two schools: North Carolina and Oregon State. Lots of good news and hopefully much more great news to come for Oregon State. More comprehensive recruiting coverage coming later this week.
That Sound? My Heart Breaking.

Could Jeremiah Masoli be more ghey? I submit no.
University of Oregon quarterback Jeremiah Masoli is a piece of garbage. This we already know. I mean, how many real feel good stories come out of Eugene? That’s right, zero. So as many of you know by now, Masoli and teammate Garrett Embry have been named by a 20-year-old sophomore member of Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity at UO for stealing several items including two MacBook laptops. So far there has been no official comments from the University or from Masoli or Embry. Is there really any doubt this is true? I mean, what student of a university purposely submarines the pride of the their school? I suppose it is possible, but highly doubtful.
The truth is, all of that isn’t even my favorite part of the story. Read more »
Son of a B!$@&!!!
Posted in College Baseball with tags Oregon State, Josh Osich on January 24, 2010 by Quizz and Quon
According to ESPN.com’s Keith Law, Oregon State pitcher Josh Osich had Tommy John surgery (Insider) on his left elbow and will miss the all of the 2010 season. Here is what Law had to say about Osich:
Osich showed a “sharp slider and a hard changeup with good deception,” and a “starter’s repertoire and build with a short arm action, but has only made five starts across his two years at OSU. If he shows this kind of stuff as a starter this summer or next spring, he’ll be a candidate for the No. 1 overall pick; as a reliever, he’d be close to a lock for the mid- to late first round.”
This is a big blow to the Beavers as Osich was a candidate to join the starting rotation. Law notes that Osich will take the year as a medical redshirt and look to rejoin the squad in 2011. Osich also had a minor procedure on his left elbow last year when he had a 2.05 ERA and 34 strike outs in 26 1/3 innings.
