worth more than $46 million. At
No. 2, the Carolina Panthers are ex
pected to select North Carolina de
fensive end Julius Peppers.
The Detroit Lions, with the third
pick, have said they will not select
Harrington. The Buffalo Bills, in
need of a quarterback, are pursuing
former Washington State star Drew
Bledsoe from the New England Pa
triots, and are wary of Harrington’s
arm strength, a point taken by
many scouts.
The Chargers, Cowboys and
Vikings, with picks five through
seven, respectively, have shown
no interest in Harrington.
The earliest possibility, many
have presumed, is Harrington be
ing called with the eighth pick by
the Kansas City Chiefs.
“He’s the complete package,”
Chiefs head coach Dick Vermeil
told The Kansas City Star. “We
think he’s going to be a starting
quarterback someday. He was
bound to be a quarterback since he
was born. His dad was a college
quarterback. He’s been in a very so
phisticated passing scheme.
“He’s played in huge games for
college football, and his team has
won games because of his perform
ance. They haven’t had a ton of all
world players around him. He’s
carried the program the last couple
of years to very successful heights.
He’s got a quarterback’s mentality
and a good feel for the game.”
Kansas City, however, has not
drafted a quarterback since Todd
Blackledge in 1983, and several re
ports have said Vermeil may be re
luctant to select Harrington.
But many agree that Harrington
would be a steal if he slips out of
the top-5.
“How can Carr go one and Har
rington go eight or 10 when
they’re equal?” ESPN.corn’s Mel
Kiper said. “It so happens whoev
er went No. 1, the other guy was
going to drop because other teams
don’t have the need. If the Chiefs
get him, they’re getting a guy
who’s equal to the No. 1 pick in
the draft. They would be getting a
heckuva bargain.”
“My height is about the only
(bad) thing the scouts can
say about me. Two inches
taller and Id probably be in
the first round.”
Rashad Bauman
former Oregon defensive back
If Kansas City passes on him,
Harrington could reunite in
Cincinnati with former Oregon
quarterback Akili Smith, who was
the third overall pick by the Ben
gals in the 1999 draft.
“He’s a great dude, all the lead
ership qualities you look for,”
Smith told The Cincinnati Enquir
er. “Smart. High-intensity. True
competitor. It would be real ironic.
I would be in my fourth year here.
He would be a rookie. It was the
same situation at Oregon. It may
happen again. If Joey is the luck
that I need, please draft him.”
Regardless of when he is select
ed, Harrington will not be on hand
to greet his new team. Instead of
being at the draft in New York —
which may of the top picks usual
ly do — Harrington will watch it
all unfold from his family’s home
in Portland.
Five other Ducks await word
Rashad Bauman nearly has it all.
Confidence, ability, speed, confi
dence, knowledge and confidence.
But there’s just one small note
about the cocky Phoenix native:
The former Oregon defensive back
lacks the height that most NFL
scouts say is necessary to contain
the league’s tall receivers.
“My height .is about the only
(bad) thing the scouts can say
about me,” said the 5-foot-8-inch
second-team all-Pacific-10 Confer
ence selection. “Two inches taller,
and I’d probably be in the first
round.”
Instead, draft experts have Bau
man projected a late-second-round
or early-third-round pick, behind
many taller defensive backs.
“Look, if you can find a corner
back who is 6-2 and runs well,
take him,” Bauman told reports at
the NFL pre-draft combine last
month. “I just don’t see many of
those guys around. I know that
I’ve made as many plays as any
one the last four years, and the
tapes show that.”
Other Oregon hopefuls this
weekend include defensive back
Steve Smith, running back Mau
rice Morris, tight end Justin Peelle
and linebacker Wesly Mallard. If
they are not drafted, they could
sign with a team as free agents.

to get to know all of us.”
Although she isn’t a fan, Pano
va said she understands the pop
ularity of football and basketball
and is willing to cheer for the
Ducks. Gieczys said the team
will take her to the games next
year and help her learn more
about the sports.
‘‘I know she doesn’t understand
the rules,” Gieczys said. “But I
know she’ll learn and enjoy going
to the games.”
Panova not only needs to adjust
socially to the University, but aca
demically as well. She has not de
clared a major, but is interested in
international economics and psy
chology. She dreams of eventually
becoming a doctor.
“I’ve always wanted to be a psy
chologist,” she said. “I want to
learn more about people and find
out why some do horrible things

like murders. I think I might enjoy
being a sports psychologist,
though, because I know sports. I
need to do something after I finish
my playing career.”
Panova has set high goals for her
college career — goals she believes
she can achieve.
“Sometime within the next four
years, I’d like to win the national
championship,” said Panova, who
models her game after her favorite
tennis player, Monica Seles. “I
have played against and beaten
some players at that level.”
Oregon assistant coach Nils
§chyllander said that because of
her abilities, winning an NCAA ti
tle is a reachable goal for Panova.
“She is very solid and compact
in her ground strokes and is very
powerful from both the forehand
and backhand,” Schyllander said.
“Because of her past results and
her work ethic, I think she can be
an All-American.”
Head coach Jack Griffin feels for
tunate to have a player with her
potential and sees her helping the
program for the next four years.
“You don’t find too many play
ers coming in with her experi
ence,” Griffin said. “Like 10 play
ers like that enter college tennis a
year and we get one. It’s huge for
this program.”
Panova has had an immediate
and direct impact on the team’s
success. Playing No. 1 singles,
she allows everyone else to drop
one level in the lineup. With
Gieczys now healthy, sophomore
Davina Mendiburu and senior
Janice Nyland, both having
played in the top spot this sea
son, move down to No. 3 and No.
4, respectively.
“She can win at the No. 1 spot,
and that takes a lot of pressure off
of us, Nyland said. “We are very
team-oriented and she gives us a
better chance to win every match
we play.”
