Well I hope whoever got selected is ready to jump into the shark tank. We got to get back to the up tempo offense that Maier was able to run. We looked too asleep at the wheel far too frequently last year.

Dan's reluctance to name a starting QB in the press conference makes me wonder if it was one of the dark horses that was selected; Dixon or Faulk. I mean, Hastings was kind of the de facto incumbent coming into the season even if he wasn't spectacular last season, but if he were the guy I don't see why it wouldn't have been made known. It's not usually a secret when your "starting" QB returns.

Improved depth is never a bad thing, but I think this season rides or dies on if the QB play can take a step forward. It just wasn't where it needed to be last season.

Game notes have been posted

Looking at the "depth" chart (players are listed alphabetically, not by actual depth), I think I could give at least an educated guess on the starter at most positions. QB would be a total shot in the dark and it's interesting that Jack Newman, the transfer from CCSF, is not listed on the roster in the notes... he's still on the website roster that was last updated on the 4th.

Presser for the Cal game featuring Coach Hawk, Ulonzo Gilliam, Teddye Buchanan, and Coach Isaiah Jackson

Coach Hawk says a starting QB has been selected and we'll find out who it is on game day

I wonder when we're gonna get the game notes? I always like to see our 2 deep even if it's the typical Hawk way of [player A] OR [player B].

I noticed that QB Mitchell Dixon was highlighted in a couple of the last social media posts from the team. He's our physically largest QB by a pretty wide margin. Looking back at high highlights, it looks like he has some backfield mobility and a fairly strong arm. I doubt that a couple social media posts truly means anything, but gets the brain thinking a little bit.

Offer out on TE/S Brock Lium out of Redlands! GO AGS!

I'm sure Hawk is going to put us in the best situation to try to win games, but we can't deny that Hastings was underwhelming for a lot of his given opportunities. From what I remember he looked alright in the NAU and led the game winning drive against Weber, but struggled elsewhere.

I mean, they have time to develop but it's never good to have a season where you have more INTs than TDs. I'm all for new blood getting an opportunity to start.

The official roster got updated a couple days ago and Kevin Burke is listed as the running backs coach. If you click on his full bio he's listed as offensive quality control, so it looks like we just did an internal promotion on short notice.

Barriere went undrafted already. He's currently playing professionally for the Michigan Panthers of the USFL.

New OL commit!

Cristian Viola has committed to play for the Aggies and held offers from Idaho and Stetson. He is a really tall dude, standing at 6'7 and has time to fill into that frame. GO AGS!

We just landed our 2nd commitment!

2 star OL/DL Malik Cleveland commits to play for the Aggies immediately after receiving an offer. Kid already has monster size standing at 6'3 305. GO AGS!

We've landed our first commitment!

3 star dual threat QB David Rasor has announced his commitment to play for the Aggies! Last season as a junior, David threw for 2365 yards with 34 passing touchdowns to lead the Sea Kings to a 9-3 record! GO AGS!

Also your fun fact for this commitment is that based on 247's rating system, Rasor is currently the highest rated QB committed to a FCS school for the class of 23! This means very little in terms of future success, but still kind of cool.

3 star OL Soane Faasolo commits to Washington

OL Derek Thompson commits to Harvard

DB Sailasa Vadrawale commits to Cal

It would be nice to land a couple of these early OL offers, but most of these guys are receiving FBS interest. Doesn't mean we can't land them, but we're definitely swinging for the fences on some of these guys.

Missed an offer from late May. 3 star OL RJ Esmon out of SLO. GO AGS!
