This and the fact that players seemingly have infinite eligibility. That's a slot for a HS kid in the past.

On the bright side, I think this Demond Williams debacle will light a fire under governing bodies to make some changes. Hopefully, positive ones.

I just don't understand what donors would continue to part ways with their cash only to see the athletes turn around and leave. I just don't get it. That happens only one time and that wallet is closed. Now, schools like Davis make a little more sense, granted their retention rate is higher, but still. I'll bet we have 2, maybe 3 years of this before big donors (at other schools especially) throw in the towel.

UCD staff being so quiet on recruiting/transfers is equal parts frightening and encouraging :lol:

2026 WSU Schedule

Looks light

Other than money (maybe?) that's a downgrade in my view

It was on youtube briefly, then disappeared. Maybe more volume issues? hah

There's a coach Plough presser floating around out there. Anyone have a link?

Now that's what I'm talking about!

Clearly not the "develop me to be the best QB you can" route in my view

Thank you. I will figure out how to link a tweet someday..

Also, do you really want to go play for Marion? That's how you know this is a real $$ chase

The real question is, say someone enters the portal and doesn't get the interest they want, and they want to come back to UCD. Do they get welcomed back with open arms or is that a closed door? What sort of message does that send to the team?

Spark any thoughts/ideas?

I've had the same thought. Also, I wonder if the staff can void a scholarship as soon as they hear of the portal sniffing?

Indeed. Real Davis guy right there. Hoping for some news of reinforcements coming in soon

The MW is a decent target, but it may not look the same in 5-10 years (our window to move into it). Being methodical and cautious is what we will do, but having goals to play in higher quality conferences cannot hurt. Heck, we have comparable budgets to some MW teams currently. Why not shoot to get more revenue back from the conference?

I feel like it's gotta be roll with the young bucks because Plough's system is difficult to master at a championship level with only a spring and fall camp under the belt.

So true. Lots of factors pressuring kids into making short-term bets at the cost of long-term success. I hope the ship rights quickly.
