If so, why move up?

An unknown is whether a successful FCS program in California can generate enough interest to make staying in FCS a good choice. Is being a big fish in a small pond a good option? It might be, but not if the media treats it as just like D2.
Hypothetical question; if UCD had NDSU or even EWU type success would UCD get coverage in media and fan interest similar to what we’d get as an occasional contender in the mountain west?

Likely good ball handling skills, since he played QB earlier in career and point guard . Has some presence in the school records on relay teams so he has some speed . Didn’t play football in Junior year to concentrate on basketball may have helped decrease his football offers.

Sean's received a lot of coverage over the years, here is an LA times article from his freshman year

Will Martin offensive lineman in our list at start of thread is on next year’s roster as a senior. Played in 11 games in 2017 but only one in 2018. So I guess he got a medical redshirt.
Will, plus all the freshmen we recruited in 2017/18 signing class, should provide great depth to a line that loses only one player.
Only one other offensive position where we lost a starter is wide receiver and that will be fascinating to see who grabs playing time there.

So do blueberries from South America. Key is to eat a variety of fresh food in season. Healthy food tastes good.

No wonder some of those guys looked hungry for a burger! Human nature to want what you can’t have.
Good nutrition is not a settled science. I wrote a paper for an upper division nutrition class in the early 70s. I looked at all the research available on the relationship of various saturated fats in the diet and cholesterol. There was no evidence for the “saturated fat” relationship with cholesterol. Yet it was taken as gospel by most people giving nutritional advice. Since then I’ve been more skeptical about claims from second hand experts. What they say the science says ain’t what the science said.

it doesn’t seem Gubrud lost much time to injury in years prior. He was a walk-on in 2014 and redshirted. Held for kicks all year and played one game at QB in 2015, and played 14 games in 2016, 10 games in 2017, (EWU didn’t make playoffs in 2017), and five games in 2018.
A number of postings on an EWU board think the 1/3 of games includes playoffs and 5 is one third of the fifteen they played, but I think “scheduled games” means scheduled games in the regular season. We’ll see. It seems the precedent would be that anyone injured in first third of a season would get a bonus year; his situation is far from rare. Maybe that policy is fine but I don’t think so.

Pretty big precedent if they consider someone who played in five games as not having had an opportunity to play.

It seems the answer is that he doesn’t qualify because he wasn’t the victim of loss of opportunity for two or more years

“
It comes from rule 30.2

A waiver of the five-year period of eligibility is designed to provide a student-athlete with the opportunity to participate in four seasons of intercollegiate competition within a five-year period. This waiver may be granted, based upon objective evidence, for reasons that are beyond the control of the student athlete or the institution, which deprive the student-athlete of the opportunity to participate for more than one season in his/her sport within the five-year period.”
The 30% rule applies to scheduled games for redshirts so it doesn’t factor, as he already used his redshirt year, and if he hadn’t he wouldn’t qualify anyway as five games are in excess of 30% of the scheduled games. I’m assuming his redshirt freshman year wasn’t beyond his and the teams control.

Weber making the list is a head scratcher: “Defensively, the Wildcats lose six First Team All-Big Sky players”. I would think they have to fall off defensively due to that,
So they’re a top ten pick, even with the acknowledgement “Jake Constantine is back at quarterback after an up-and-down season in his first year as a starter.” Kind of a reach.

Pretty hard for Moe to get these awards when at start of season he is not as a featured guy in his own teams public relations, and splits a lot of time with other players and hence doesn’t rack up the high defensive statistics. It’s not right but it’s predictable.

Courts should punish convicted criminals schools should punish coaches who bring criminals into the community.
I don’t know that schools should assume that anyone arrested is guilty. Leave it to the courts.

I don’t think Sac wants to be in the same conference with Davis. They were clear on that when they left the far western conference. They felt they had to get away and their AD said that at the time. For a while when they had scholarships and Davis didn’t they could compete but now they’ve lost that advantage. If they follow us somewhere they will continue to suffer by comparison.

Well the point is that we’ll be a veteran offense this time around. Hopefully Cal won’t have a five star freshman receiver this time. That guy was uncontainable.

Wright was a starter as a senior at Cardinal Newman. Back up as a junior.

Lacy was the backup to the guy who went to Tenessee

I don’t think we
need more defensive players generally, we need specifically the 280+ lb hand on turf kind of lineman. That’s the difference between our D and say Eastern Washington’s or NIUs. Not to say we don’t have any prospects on our team but we don’t have many

Often there is some reason players are not snatched up by the FBS teams. Being on a losing team might be one. Magdalena missed his senior season which would also cause someone to drop. I think this is a great class, just wish we had a NG/DT type player too.

Impressive resumes. Reading this made me think that the high school coach that never had his team punt had a good idea. Figueroa. had three 93+ yard punt returns for TDs and Mouisset had six blocked punts.

It’s curious that we don’t have an offer to a defensive tackle. We lost Cloud to graduation. We’ve got tons of linebacker/defensive ends as linebackers and weak side defensive ends are similar physical body types.
