There haven’t been the usual recruit class rankings for BigSky teams, Cal Poly and Portland State made Hero Sports top ten. Northern Arizona brought in 10 Transfers, mostly from FCS schools but includes a QB from Cal, Kai Millner, and a linebacker from UCLA, Jeremiah Trojan. Sac State getting Carson Camp is big.
I think our class is a good one but no transfers.

Sam Huard , played four games. Former 5* recruit for Washington,
They also have a former 4* recruit offensive lineman who transferred from UCLA, after attempting suicide. He’s from San Luis Obispo, so maybe a wise move.

They are all three star recruits. I don’t think they can even get the * ratings right much less accurately rate these guys rated 1 - 50

Are you believing the David Rasor Cal Poly bit? I think that’s just a mistake.
Out of the fifty Cal Poly has three, Davis has three, if you move Rasor to Davis

Judging by the committed elsewhere list on 1st page of this discussion, we lost only one recruit to a Big Sky team, Sac State and a couple to Ivy League. This is a multi year pattern.
Good players from California go to other Big Sky schools, but we apparently don’t compete for those players. The ones we contest for we lose to FBS or Ivy League.

MVP of this year Polynesian All American game in Southern California.

Who is the offensive line coach? Or did Cody talk about those OL players. Any of those guys might play defense?

Has never actually been the QB coach.
Hawkins seems to like hiring young guys who had analyst positions with FBS schools.
2018 Player stats: Finished 6 of 16 for 53 yards with three interceptions and had 21 carries for 89 yards and two touchdowns in 13 games

We had a good team.
The Weber game was one we should have won and losing kept us out of the playoffs, And that loss was more due to coaches decisions than on the players.

I wonder if Cody will coach the QBs. If not they have two guys on staff that have been QB coaches, Taylor Chapatte was QB coach at University of San Diego, and Kevin Burke has been a QB coach at Mount Union and Case Western.
I was surprised to see that Kevin Burke was the QB on Dan Hawkins’ 2015 National Team, and Hawkins got him a job playing for a European team that Hawkins had previously coached. So they go back a while even though Burke has only been an assistant here for a year.

Gale who looked good in limited opportunities, Conway and Williams who have never generated a stat, and Bearden who played defensive end exclusively this fall, so maybe he will again. The fifth guy I guess is the JC transfer Baldwin.

Williams is incorrectly listed as a junior, that’s not possible for someone who graduated HS in 21.

How can a program like Idaho sign 39 players? I thought preferred walk-ons weren’t supposed to be in the press releases.

Looks like we’re going to have two Zach Jones on the roster, That’s the third Zach Jones in ten years,

DavisAggie beat me to it. But here is my reply:

He is in high school, who doesn’t put on a few pounds at that age especially if they lift.
I’m showing my age here but Tony Dorsett weighed 155 lbs as a freshman

Virtually the same size as Matteo Perez, 3 lb. lighter.
Interesting that the stats on him show no fumbles in 483 carries. That’s almost unbelievable.
They didn’t throw to him much.

He replied to your Purdy post.

A problem with the spring bowl game idea is that the seniors will have moved on, they are done and don’t take part in spring practice. Now add in the transfer portal, and in the spring you don’t have a lot of the players from the fall team, and you’ve added different ones.

Probably right especially when their competition for the game can’t generate much revenue. I was surprised how many empty seats there were in most of the playoff games I watched in the first and second rounds. They won’t get in with a losing record though. Davis would draw better than many of those teams,

We can lose juniors as well. About half of the “juniors” are class of 18 and have been here five years already. Logically those guys have completed their degree requirements.
