Tucson receiver Hall sticks with Arizona
Posted by Rob Moseley
Parade all-American receiver Adam Hall, who previously announced a preference for hometown Arizona but opened up his commitment earlier this month at the U.S. Army All-America Bowl, stuck with the Wildcats today over Oregon and California.

It's all about Diante Jackson now at WR. Seems like a no-brainer choosing Oregon over CU.
El, Mountains
We can't land ANYONE! Our WR core is atrocious in my opinion. We have about 5 WR that actually seem like D1 wideouts – Cantu, Jordan, Embry, Davis & Holland. Most are virtually unproven.
Holland better have a break out year.
Davis needs to be solid.
Then one of the 3 rookies needs to step to the forefront.Don't get me started on the smurf Pflugrad or the giraffe-legged Maehl. They don't do much for me nor do they scare an opposing DB.
El…take it easy…I'm as agitated as you are…I really hope our mediocrity as of right now is a one time blimp and not a sign of our recruiting weakness for future years…still annoyed by the the pre-meditated coaching turbulence that seems to be hamstringing our recruiting.
Brilliant name calling. Well executed display of your grasp on reality. I would pay $100 to see 'El Mountain Man' (that's spanish for 'the mountain man' for those of you who don't la habla espanola) in a foot race against any of our receivers, or TEs, or OL for that matter. Let's set it up, we could put it on here as pay per view to kill time next season while we aren't able to watch one of the football games on TV.
Here's to finishing strong in the recruiting this year, and trusting the coaches to develop and scout great talent, and to fans who want us to be SC becoming fans of SC.
El, Mountains
My worry is that by going national on recruiting that we may be weakening our west coast and island recruiting. We need to stay strong "at home". Yes, going national brings good exposure and could open great things, but…..
MikeL, Portland
Wow guys and gals. step back from the ledge. Don't Jump! Get some perspective on the entire recruiting issue. We are not at a level to get our pick of 5 star guys, but it is shaping to be a solid class, especially on defense. None of you are mentioning the fact that Harper/Dwil can play multiple positions or that Masoli at the end of the year didn't need open receivers with the way we ran the ball. Wait until the recruiting class is finished before you decide all is lost and then realize that these recruiting services are highly biased towards east coast kids and that they are extremely hit and miss. Yeah having all five star guys would be great, but we have a pretty good track record of coaching kids up. We finished in the top 10 in the country last year and with what we have coming back it should be another great year. Calm down and appreciate that a "down" recuiting year is 4th or 5th in the Pac-10 in a state that develops very little in-state talent. Sheesh!
BD, Medford
We are going to be fine. Everyone needs to calm down. Our recruits will step up like they always do because we have a great coaching staff. Ye all have little to no faith.
We could use a good member of the grand old party running the pac 10 show!!! I say, "you're hired"!!
Schedule+returning talent+7 home games+facilities+coaching staff+USC losses+status quo O+an inproved D = a great 2009, possibly historic. Sprinkle in Bryce baby and who cares about a playoff. We won't need any stinking playoff.
Relax….we still have a good shot at Gaines, maybe Jackson. Maybe both?!?!
Pretty pathetic El…do you remember that giraffe legged Maehl getting blasted in the '07 Civil war and holding on to the piggy?
Before you all get hot under the collar about recruiting five and four star players - go and read a column by Ted Miller (ESPN) on Jan 26. You will then notice that it is more of an art than a science. I don't have the info on the current Oregon roster (do you Rob?) of how the current starting line up (from last season) were ranked coming out of high school - but it would be interesting.
Del Norte Duck, California
El strikes me as one of those guys who boo whenever the Ducks fail to get a first down, screams for Bellotti/Allioti/Kelly to be fired if we trail at halftime, and is convinced if he was coaching the Ducks would land every recruit in the nation and we would never lose a game ever again.
If we can't land a 200lbs+ back this season
What do you guys think about Chris Harper at RB?
He has the 4.38 speed, along with great size. 230lbs is it? -
Clone Dixon, Portland
People that hate on Maehl simply make me laugh. He scores TD's on roughly every 12 touches. Whats not to love?
arty, Eugene
On ncaa football 09 I get all the 5 stars to come to Oregon its really not that hard!
But seriously this years recruiting class is by no means below average. I personally am pleased with it. They got a lot of key defensive players to build up the main weakness the team had. This recruiting class is better than lasts years, the two players that made that class a top 10 class are going to Memphis and Texas Tech.
El, Mountains
You guys are missing the point – I'm worried about our coaches wasting time and resources on recruits we know we can't land. I have mixed feelings – on one hand it is great exposure and a chance to land top notch kids, but on the other side I fear that we are not securing our base recruiting area.
Also, on the WR front – I'm frustrated by the production or lack thereof recently, especially last year. I used to always trust our low budget wideouts years ago. Now we seem to get higher rated WR but they don't live up to the hype.
Really, I'm just hating on the WR recruiting the last 2 years – going after all of these top end guys and landing nothing. That has now left us thin.
Spike89, Springfield
Strange…we had a pretty decent recruiting season last year. This one isn't done yet and some people are freaking out that "going national" might be hurting us. Sure, we didn't get Pryor last year, but we did land some pretty good QBs and perhaps came out better than if we'd gotten him. We can only sign 25 maximum each year—we can't get and don't have a spot for everyone we want.
There's every bit as much reason to believe that going national strengthens us in our traditional areas. Although I'm sure there are exceptions, kids want to be wanted and they want to be recruited by schools nationally (doesn't mean they want to go far away). In other words, it is more attractive to a top local guy to be offered by Oregon if they know that the Ducks can choose from anywhere and the offer isn't just because they are in our region.
I'm leery of comparing ourselves to SC, but they certainly don't hurt themselves in the S. Cal market by being national recruiters. I don't believe we do either
arty, Eugene
Oops Wade was '07
Greg, CA
Just curious how this recruiting process works…we are sitting on 19 commits now. Clearly pushing for several 3-5 star guys, but won't know until LOI day or later. So are there X number of 2-3 star guys that would love an offer from Oregon just waiting in the wings to see how LOI day goes? I mean, you gotta fill out your class at some point.
ChuckyDuck, San Diego
Ditto the other voices of reason. All you "sky is falling" types please remember:
In 2008 we ENROLLED 4-5 four star recruits on offense, plus Masoli who we can pretty much accept would have been 4* min if the services were on their toes. We also added 2X4* on defense. Plus lots of other Oregon type guys with plenty of upside.
I'm not really counting on adding anyone else to the 2009 class as it stands. Get real, Jackson doesn't want to be a Duck; let it go. BB gonna stay east; big deal - we've got Blount, Crenshaw, Alston, James and who knows in 2010-11 etc. This class will greatly bolster the defense, in 2009 and down the road.
If you take the time to look at it the coaches have done a great job of filling the greatest needs (DTs; K, P, LB depth, OL depth). I doubt they'll be losing any sleep about playing with the cards they have right now. If we get any of Gaines, Tepa, Johnson, Justin Brown, or Mr. X great. The game's on the field, not in the meeting rooms of the recruiting services.
GOD, heaven
Good luck Adam… Your going to need it and alot of it. Maybe you can play QB and throw it to yourself. Arizona went to the LAS VEGAS… First time in 10 yrs. You can still change your mind!!! and Nike doesn't take applicants from the UofA
LFP Duck, Lake Forest Park, WA
I'm not too worried about WR. We have some real talent at that position and TE (which is practically a WR in Kelly's offense). Maehl, Dickson and Davis were all starters last year. Pflugrad, Holland and Harper have played a decent amount, with Harper having HUGE potential upside. N. Ward is eligible this year. Every year there are new guys that step up, and that'll happen this year with guys like Jordan, Cantu, M. Lewis and Embry available. If you want to be worried about this year, be worried about OL where we lost a lot more guys than WR (although I have faith that with the talent coming up, Greatwood will have them ready come fall).
Sure, it kind of stings that it seems we've missed out on a lot of talented WRs lately - Streeter and Boyd on signing day last year, McNeal to Clemson, who knows where D. Jackson will go, and Hall deciding to stay home - but I don't think you can honestly say we're getting desparate or thin at this point. Remember that last year we whiffed on Streeter and Boyd, but Harper moving from QB to WR and getting Ward as a transfer well after signing day effectively negated those losses. That and the fact that we're not out of it for D. Jackson or Tyrece Gaines, I think the Ducks will be just fine catching the football.
All this 5-star player vs. 3 stars can be a bit misleading. Sure, 5-star guys do work out, and they do come to Oregon. (Case in point, Jonathan Stewart.) But Byrd, Thurmond and Chung were all 2-star athletes, and T.J. Ward was a walk-on. Heck, Troy Polamalu was a 2-star guy out of Douglas High until he signed with USC, and then he was a 3-star guy. I think his football career has been pretty fair despite the lack of recruiting site love. Check out some of the star players in Sunday's Super Bowl: Kurt Warner, James Harrison, Ben Roethlisberger, Dominique Rogers-Cromartie. All have one thing in common: They went to small colleges because they weren't 4- or 5-star guys. Shannon Sharpe is waiting for a possible Pro Football Hall of Fame spot, with Savannah State as his alma mater. Detect a pattern here? Short answer: Don't overreact to the Scout and Rivals designations. They are in the business of selling Internet subscriptions, period.
I've never been much of a Maehl fan until this seasons Civil War. He made some great catches that required considerable athleticism. He doesn't necessarily pass the eyeball test, but I think he's what you would call a "Gamer."
Ziggy Smalls
Iduck, I agree that Harper would be a running back possibility, but probably not full time. I think that the coaches will try to line him up in a variety of positions over the next couple of years, and some of the time that will be in the backfield, some at receiver, and some probably even at quarterback. We'll just have to wait and see what happens. He could turn into a stronger albeit slower version of Percy Harvin or Reggie Bush. He really has that kind of potential.
I guess it's really not so much about our recruits being ranked 2, 3 or 5 stars. It's more that we're repeatedly losing out to other programs when competing head to head down to the wire.
John Concillo
Receiver position is not a problem.Did anyone watch Harper in the Arizona State game?
Spike89, Springfield
We have 19 guys "locked up" out of the maximum allowed of 25. Because of the nature of the game, it's probably very smart of the coaches to fill the "must have" positions early. If you do that, then you can gamble on 5 or 6 recruits at the end…gambling means you're going to lose some, maybe all of these. The point is, the coaches are in effect gambling with "house" money. they have the recruits they must have already.
In the past, we may not have been able to lock down 19 guys early and at the end of January were in the position of recruiting only guys who were unlikely to turn us down late.
Let me clear this out for lots of people on the blog.
Recruiting services like Scout, Rivals rate players by how they perform through the last 2 years of highschool football and in the combines.High School athletes are human being, they develop and mature in different pace.
Some guys are finished products, they already fully matured and developed to their full potential while in highschool. Those guys are often highly rated due to their athleticism and maturity. But as years pass by, they do not improve much. (ex. Antone Smith)
Some guys are late bloomers, they are still like kids and they have alot of room for improvement. These guys are usually those 2-3 star guys who develop immensely when they are around 20 yrs old. (ex. Michael Crabtree)
This isn't to say that 5 star guys are fully developed while 2 star guys aren't
There are plenty of 5 star guys who developed greatly in college. (ex. Adrian Peterson)
There are plenty of 2 star guys who were already finished products who didn't improve much in college and spent time on the benchRecruiting services aren't perfect, at times they overrate certain players. At times, they overlook certain players.
But remember this. Those ratings are overrated and important.
There is a higher chance that a bluechip player would suceed in cfb than a 2star player.
Usually, the big time 1st rounders come out of big programs.Don't say having bunch of 2 star players are going to bring a program to promise land, and don't say not getting bluechip players will crush a program
Highly rated recruits have a higher chance of success than low rated players.Ziggy
Good point, I wouldn't mind seeing Harper playing multi-pos
Even Linebacker or safety, he has the physical tools.Wong
like what i said, theres plenty of unrecruited players who succeed in the NFL. But how many more of those are there?
Opposed to highly rated players -
Greg, CA
Just curious…there is a 4 star, JC RB named Andre Harris that at one stage had Oregon high on his list…but has no offers from anyone. Would this be a case of academics scaring away schools, or could he just be a recruit that everyone looks at as a backup if a school's top choice commits elsewhere?
rgyle, montana
Wong is right. Good talent-scouting and coaching can make sleepers wake up. Oregon has earned a reputation for coaching up whatever talent they have. And the guys perform.
One reason I enjoy the Ducks so much is that they've become over-achieving underdogs. Maybe now they're evendogs. They have one of the country's most explosive offenses and are deservedly getting more attention nationally, which is nice, better pre-season rankings and interest from so-called 4-5 star recruits, etc. But 4-5 stars often don't perform to expectations. And if they do, goodbye after a couple years where a 2-3 star that becomes a great contributor will more likely stick around out of loyalty and gratitude.
This is all assuming that the star ratings are accurate for a high school kid, which I doubt. As Wong also rightly pointed out, later round NFL draftees have become superstars, so even collegiate players can be difficult to rate.
Spike89, Springfield
Another aspect to the ratings, not only are they biased (by neccessity) toward tangibles, i.e., 40 times, size, etc. that are only part of the equation, but they are not rated by anything approaching a uniform committee. A 3.5 star kid in LA can get lots of press, plus some interest from USC, that will give him perhaps an extra star and a half. An equally talented, skilled player in North Dakota may lose a star just because no one believes football players ever come from ND.
Equal players, but one is on the services as a 2 or 3 star and the other is a 4 or 5. There is nobody that watches every potential recruit and can rank them…geez, even if there was, how do you compare say a RB who has 3 O-linemen on his team going on to D1 to some kid trying to run behind a horrible offensive line? A receiver with a great HS QB vs. one without?
Now, throw in the fact that needs at college vary, i.e., the best lineman for a grind-it-out running offense may be way too slow for a spread passing scheme. As much as I loved Joey as a Duck, would he have gotten onto the field at Oregon under the spread?
DucksPhan, Portland
I think there is some serious overreaction going on. I hate that people think we are constantly losing the head-to-head battle and freaking out. We lose head-to-head battles all the time—-we don't sign everyone we offer! Plus, the 25 we do sign are players we beat other schools out for.
Brown University has 2 players playing in the Super Bowl on Sunday; USC has 1; Florida has zero. Do ratings really always equate to success? No. Give it a chance to work out and see what happens on the 4th.
Personally, I am more worried about my 201k than my favorite team's recruiting progress.
James, Salem
I've worked in higher ed. recruitment for the last ten years, admissions, not athletics. But I see many similarities between the decisions of college-bound high school students and those of athlete recruits.
High school seniors always talk about going 'away' to college, to which schools they've been admitted or offered scholarships. The further the school, the cooler. In fact, many of them say they want to get as far away from home as possible. And some actually do. Most, however, end up staying close to home. The prospect of going too far is just too much for both parents and student.
High school athletes are no different. Hall (and Boyd) are akin to a student graduating at the top of his class who relishes the idea of going 'back east' or 'out west' to college, but ends up staying much closer to home, at an equally reputable institution.
On paper and in pictures, Oregon is a very appealing football school for a HS athlete. What 18-year old player doesn't dig the 100+ uniform combos and underwater treadmills? How cool is to at least imagine yourself so far away from home, off on an adventure.
But for most, the pull of home is just too great to leave. The dream is nice, but reality eventually sets in. And Oregon isn't enough of a helmet school to lure kids like Hall and Boyd out of their comfort zones. I expect Brown will do the same (with his brother at UM). Even Pryor did so last year. And who can blame any of them?
Some stand-out athletes take up the adventure, though. Hopefully, Oregon will one day be the recipient of one of these 'national' recruits from far, far away.

Jayalalithaa makes announcement in Assembly
Chief Minister Jayalalithaa on Wednesday announced that a memorial would be built for the 18th century freedom fighter Dheeran Chinnamalai at Sankagiri Fort, where he was hanged by the British.
Making a suo motu statement in the Assembly, Ms. Jayalalithaa said her government decided to build a memorial following a request made in the Assembly by AIADMK member Vijayalakshmi Palanisamy on March 30.
The Chief Minister said when the British had realised that it would be difficult to defeat him in war, they resorted to treachery to arrest him and hanged him at the Sankagiri Fort.
Ms. Jayalalithaa said the AIADMK government had been honouring freedom fighters by constructing manimandapams, erecting statues and naming government buildings after them.
A separate transport corporation was created in the name of Dheeran Chinnamalai when MGR was the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu and she granted permission for installing the statue of the Chinnamalai, who became a nightmare to the British in the Kongu region of the State. Ms. Jayalalithaa herself donated Rs 1 lakh towards meeting the expenses of the statue.
In 1995, Dheeran Chinnamalai memorial day was observed in Kangeyam and his descendants were honoured. A district was also created in his name during her regime. In 2003, she issued an order for observing his death anniversary as a government function at his birth place Oodanilai in Erode district.
"I inaugurated a manimandapam at a cost of Rs 30 lakh at his birth place in 2006," the Chief Minister said.

Blue Bomber Report Record: 7–11–0
Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Passion makes a comeback
Bombers vs. Riders matters again
The guy dressed in Bombers blue and gold was in his early 20s, bent at the waist with his hands on his knees, hurling everything he had onto the scalding pavement of a parking lot in the shadows of Mosaic Field.
"Man it sucks to be a Bombers fan right now," came his reply when asked if he was OK.
The same fan will likely have the same jersey on tonight and he might even have the same eau de pints cologne filling the air. But he won't stink of despair.
Nope, he and thousands of other folks rolling into tonight's Bombers vs. Riders game will all be taking in the same whiff of hope their football team has pumped into this city.
This just in: The Bombers matter again. And so do these games with the Riders.
It's doubtful the Bombers' play on the field that day had much to do with this glorious display of upchucking. Too much beer, too much tailgate cuisine and too much sun were the more likely culprits. But for sure the Bombers weren't helping any.
It was Labour Day of 2012 and the Bombers had just been pasted 52-0 in what was, for my money, the low point of the Joe Mack era. Poor Tim Burke had been pushed into the head coaching job, and he was little more than a sacrificial lamb this day and throughout his disastrous run at helm of the sinking ship Blue Bombers.
It was bad enough the Bombers were among the worst teams in the CFL. But it was worse they couldn't muster up the gumption to make their yearly Labour Day trip to Regina more of a game. They've lost nine in a row on the biggest football weekend of the year on the Prairies. And for Bombers fans this is as almost as painful as the 23 years since they last won a Grey Cup.
But the Bombers enter tonight's game at 5-1 while the Riders are 3-2. Much more than pride is on the line.
This is a game that matters. In fact, not only is it the rivalry game of the week, it's simply THE game of the week in the CFL.
Winnipeg-Regina is always something to see. And with both teams now in the West Division and well within their rights to consider themselves a playoff possibility, the storyline goes well beyond the Hatfield and McCoy element of this matchup.
In fact, over the next five games, the Bombers will meet the Riders three times.
Hate will boil over and a team's season could be dramatically altered depending on the results.
"It's going to be emotional. But I don't want to say too much. They like to talk trash. But as my college coach used to say, 'a yapping dog rarely bites.' We want to do our talking on the field," said Bombers fullback Michel-Pierre Pontbriand.
Tonight's game, Labour Day and the Banjo Bowl. They will all have added depth and import this season.
Bombers fans have already been given reason to do some chest thumping. A win tonight will push their new belief to a higher level.
And if they don't win? Well, they get two more cracks. And this season, they won't be mercy games. They'll have meaning.
The Bombers-Riders series is back. It's good to see you again.

Phone and internet bills may go up as the government plans to levy a cess on telecom services to create a corpus for funding the 'Swachh Bharat' drive.
The state government is seriously mulling over charging toll only from heavy commercial vehicles and exempting private passenger vehicles like cars and SUVs from the levy.
The department also determined that producers and exporters of photovoltaic products from Chinese mainland received subsidies ranging from 27.64 per cent to 49.79 per cent.
Government has asked the Coal Controller to collect additional levy from the owners of operational coal blocks, which have been cancelled by the Supreme Court.
The DoT has been asked to prepare a proposal by January 15 on levying a fee on the annual charges that companies pay to use airwaves.
Trai recommended that with effect from April 1, 2015, the component of USO levy should be reduced from the present 5% to 3% of AGR for all licences.
"As a consequence, we've already levied fees to discourage interbank clients from holding excessive cash balances over the past two years."
At 12:30 p.m.; Reliance Communications was down 2.35 per cent, Idea Cellular fell 3.58 per cent and Bharti Airtel declined 1.70 per cent.

As Linux continues to play an ever increasing role in corporate data centers and institutions, ensuring the integrity and protection of these systems must be a priority. With 60% of the world's websites and an increasing share of organization's mission-critical workloads running on Linux, failing to stop malware and other advanced threats on Linux can increasingly impact an organization's reputation and bottom line.

Most companies incorporate backup procedures for critical data, which can be restored quickly if a loss occurs. However, fewer companies are prepared for catastrophic system failures, in which they lose all data, the entire operating system, applications, settings, patches and more, reducing their system(s) to "bare metal." After all, before data can be restored to a system, there must be a system to restore it to.
In this one hour webinar, learn how to enhance your existing backup strategies for better disaster recovery preparedness using Storix System Backup Administrator (SBAdmin), a highly flexible bare-metal recovery solution for UNIX and Linux systems.

Mr. Humayun Kabir, Minister for Scientific Research and Culture, addressing a press conference in New Delhi on July 14, said that one of the finest achievements of our National laboratories was the discovery of the process of manufacturing optical glass. In the pilot plant set up at Calcutta, they would be able to manufacture the country's requirements of optical glass and thereby save some valuable foreign exchange. He paid a tribute in this connection to the initiative and hard work of our scientists.

What to Watch Tonight: Being Human, Hart of Dixie, and House
What to watch on Monday, January 30...
Welcome to Monday, your first full day of reconsidering that new tattoo you got. It'll be an emotional journey to be sure, but when times get tough you can always turn to the TV! And PLEASE disinfect that thing.
8pm, Fox
When a teen runaway needs parental consent for a medical procedure, House and Adams must decide whether to call Social Services or to trust the woman who shows up claiming to her mother. Elsewhere, Taub has trouble connecting with his baby daughters and House uses Foreman's relationship with a married woman against him. Also somehow a turtle fight factors in (pictured above).
9pm, Syfy
Being Human
Tonight Aidan scores a date with a human lady, but his lack of access to his normal blood supply makes everything just a tad awkward.
Plus Sally explores the possibility of reincarnation and Josh and Nora do more Josh and Nora type stuff.
9pm, Fox
Hart of Dixie
Do you guys watch this show? I don't know, it just seemed like I should recommend it just to keep everybody on their toes. So tonight Zoe attempts to hide her new friendship with AnnaBeth so as to not make Lemon mad. Also Lemon tries to win a certain position within the Belles. Cool to see how much this show has progressed since it began. "Why change what doesn't work?" —The CW
8pm, ABC
The Bachelor
We knew it could only be a matter of time before Ben and his harem of living Real Dolls set out for Puerto Rico, and that day has arrived. After baseball and yachting, he'll cut two loose and the caravan will continue onward to Panama. Byeee!
8pm, ABC Family
Pretty Little Liars
Hanna finds herself on the other side of a cold shoulder when her friends don't approve of her Caleb situation. Meanwhile Hanna's stepsister enrolls in school and Emily gets her hopes up for her mom's eminent arrival. Better get your hopes up for DRAMA, young lady.

I Am a Philadelphia 76ers Fan, I Am Not Embarrassed
The Philadelphia 76ers (15-46) have the second worst record in the league. They stand 2.5 games behind the Bucks in the tanking race, and are in prime position to catch them. They have lost 15 in a row, and now have a scoring differential of -11.3.
All of this, you already know. The awful records that this team has set, along with the records that other teams have set against them, are thrown at fans faster than a Byron Mullens three-ball. The Sixers are more talked about than ever, headlining the tanking circus that has taken the NBA by storm this year. Many argue that the people of Philadelphia should be "embarrassed" by the way our hometown team is playing. Many analysts, especially the old-school basketball gurus, believe that teams should be built to compete every single year. They say that since the draft is a crapshoot, teams are best off making their city proud and trying their best every single year. "Come on, when's the last time a good player came out of the draft?"-Jody McDonald, probably.
ARQ – As a Philadelphia sports fan, are you embarrassed by the Sixers 15-game losing streak? D/L, Vote | http://t.co/zlSUNqDb0n
— WIP Morning Show (@WIPMorningShow) March 5, 2014
What I would like to know is what move exactly these people disagreed with. Let's begin with the infamous Jrue Holiday trade from the 2013 draft, the first domino to fall in the tank. How do most of these "analysts" value Jrue Holiday? Although they love labeling him the "23-year-old all-star", they fail to recognize a few things. In a conference with injury-riddled point guards, along with inflated stats due to playing for a subpar team, Jrue was chosen as a reserve one time. He is a great player, and a great man. But is he worth a $43 million cap hit over four years? Making that kind of money, for a team that desires a championship, is pretty much counting on Jrue to be the best or second-best player on that title-winning squad. Point to me anybody that believes Jrue is not worth two top-ten draft picks (Nerlens Noel and the 2014 Pelicans first-rounder).
For Sixers GM Sam Hinkie, this entire season has never been about tanking. Josh Harris has a vision of a championship, and Hinkie has a vision of what a championship team looks like. In hiring Brett Brown, and targeting certain players, he is developing a culture. Both Sam and Brett favor athletic, tall, hard-working players. This is why players such as Kwame, Turner, Hawes, and Lavoy are no longer with the team. This is also why you see Arnett Moultrie spending most of his time on the bench. Hinkie has said multiple times that Thaddeus Young fits the bill of exactly what they are trying to build, and this is why I doubt they would let him go for anything less than what he deserves. Hinkie started from scratch, beginning with a "can't say no" trade offer for Jrue Holiday. Since then, he has weeded out players who do not fit his vision, and stockpiled assets while shipping out expiring contracts, as any good GM would do.
So what part of all of this is embarrassing? Acquiring two top-ten picks for an all-star reserve/hefty contract? Acquiring six second-round picks for three expiring deals? I am a Philadelphia 76ers fan, and I am not embarrassed at all. Embarrassing, to me, is the Bucks putting out a roster that was designed to make the playoffs and only having 12 wins. Embarrassing, to me, is the Knicks having a roster that includes a superstar and other highly paid NBA players and only being 6.5 games above the Sixers. Embarrassing, to me, is that same Knicks team having no draft picks or cap space for the next 37 years. Embarrassing, to me, is the @MySportsLegion account's need to incessantly CAPITALIZE words and call everything UNREAL, but that is for a different day.
This has never been about tanking. It is about young players, cheap contracts, developing a culture, and building something special from scratch. Doug Collins and first round exits (also known as "pride") was fun for three years, but it was time for a change. So maybe these antagonists would have preferred the Sixers to max-out Al Jefferson. Maybe they wanted the Sixers to keep Jrue Holiday and trade our first-rounder for someone like Andrea Bargnani. Maybe they should have given Turner an extension and drafted Cody Zeller, a "win-now" player. Well, there is not one move that I would change. I am prouder than ever to be a Philadelphia 76ers fan, and I think any fans that are worried should just relax and feel safe in the open arms of Sam Hinkie. He will not lead you astray
See you in 2017, sports media.

Theory: Do haters FEAR the potiential influence of SWTOR?
View Single Post
TL;DR I believe these people just want to sabotage the SWTOR popularity because they fear that if SWTOR grows, the future of MMOs would be more like SWTOR such as focusing on story and the leveling process instead of endgame. They fear that MMOs would become single player friendly. In short, they fear that the SWTOR formula would be the baseline formula for future MMOs.
I'll keep this short but hear me out. SWTOR is obviously not for everyone, especially if you are one of those old school MMO traditionalist who believes the real purpose behind MMOs is endgame and etc.....
With that being said, they do not like how SWTOR has a focus on leveling and not endgame. They do not like how SWTOR is bringing in people [such as myself] who are not traditional MMO players but rather single player gamers whos ONLY reason behind playing SWTOR is the promise of story and the ability to literally play it as a single player game if chosen to. The haters fear that if SWTOR grows and becomes really popular, then SWTOR would be used or could be used as the benchmark for future MMOs meaning future AAA MMOs will have emphasis on story.....interactive dialog....cutscenes and everything else that SWTOR does with the 4th Pillar of story.
These haters have already made up their mind that they do not like SWTOR and will either go back to other current MMOs, or just hold out until Guild Wars 2. However, because they fear that SWTOR could grow, they do not want their current MMOs or future MMOs [GW2] to be lacking in population because everyone is playing SWTOR.
So BASICALLY, the people against SWTOR pretty much want to sabatoge the popularity of SWTOR with the hopes that everyone jumps off of the "SWTOR bandwagon" and play other MMOs or hold out for future MMOs. I mean why is it that the people who supposendly have cancelled their subscription still post here? Why is it that the people who have came to the conclusion that they gate SWTOR.....continue to post here? Why is it that the most passionate opinions about SWTOR tend to be the negative ones?
In SWTOR the "Real" Game starts at level 1

There's nothing better than being able to look back at pics of you and your BFFs having the best time ever. Want to mix those pics up a li'l bit? Host your own makeover 'n' fashion photo shoot where you and your girls get to play the stars. Use the pics to make your own scrapbook and keep these memories forever!
Before the party ask each girl to bring any size scrapbook (or a binder with some sheet protectors), a pair of scissors, some stickers, lots of colorful papers, tape (or glue), glitter, markers and anything else they would want to have in their scrapbook. Don't forget to get yours before the party too!
(**If you have a disposable cam, each girl can bring a couple bucks and you can shop for these things while you wait for your photos to develop. Make sure you ask your 'rents first though).
Pull out your chicest clothes, and ask your BFFs to bring theirs over too. Do your make up like you're the next superstar about to come down the red carpet, or look like you're gettin' ready to shoot a rad new music video. Choose a rockin' outfit to match your makeup.
You could even dress up as your fave starlet!
Let the photo shoot begin! If you have a digi cam, take as many pics as you like. Turn on some pump-up music, have a mini dance party and snap up a storm. The more photogs you have, the better the selection for your scrapbooks.
If you have a disposable cam, be a little more careful with the pics you take. Since you've got a limited amount of film, make sure you get every girl in at least a couple pics. And take turns playing photographer so everyone gets equal face time.
Once you've got enough pics, load 'em on to your comp. You and your BFFs can edit out your faves (and the funnies!) for your scrapbook selection. Then, it's time to print away. Make sure your print enough copies for each girl at the party!
If you have a disposable cam, this is the time when you need the 'rents to drive you and your girls to the store to develop those photogs.
Get all your supplies together and start cutting out the pics the way you would like, keeping or taking out the backgrounds. Cut the photos out in different shapes, leave them as is or collage them together.
Place the photos on the paper where ever you want them and stick them down with tape or glue.
Add stickers, glitter, paint or anything you want to make your book look sooo YOU! Write captions for the photos (serious or silly!). Include any inside jokes or fun memories that you have with your BFFs.
In the morning serve up some breakfast and share your scrapbooks (after you're done eating of course. Wouldn't want to smudge syrup on those chic scrapbooks ya made!).

TD-Complete Submission
What to expect when you're expecting (an acceptance letter)
4.16 / 5.00 3,506 ViewsSorry for the weird resolution btw. The file was originally 20mb so I had to do some resizing to get the file just under 10mb. Quality is almost just as good as the original file. The song btw is Flat Beats by Mr. Oizo. Domos used are the 7-11 Exclusive Slurpee Qees. Hope you all enjoy.
I really like this. I like the music, I like the dancing domos. What's not to like? I think the slight movement of the camera adds to the feeling of the overall piece. It doesn't take away at all. Nicely done!
I disagree with the mate below me..
I think this "offcentering" makes it more interesting :)
good work
Yeah bro...
I don't think stop animation counts as flash.
However f you're going to put it up anyway, at least use a preloader of some kind.
Also try to work on not moving your camera even the slightest bit. I'm noticing some slight changes, that seem to offcenter everything.
