Given the youth of our offensive line and their already considerable size, its likely they'll add a even more weight. I don't know how much height is a factor for the offensive line but that's where Northern Iowa stood out., Plus we've added some big tight ends.
I'm not sure we are in a process of getting bigger on the defensive line, unless Suani warrants playing time, Were not adding many big bodies on the defensive line, and were going to lose a few next year.

Regarding your comment that getting three stars helps convince other prospects that the program is on the rise, 7 three stars should provide pretty good optics. Disregarding whether needs were filled, I think we have the best recruiting class in the big sky.
Should we let the sports information department know that today is winter, even in California?

ZACH KENNEDY is listed on the roster.

PS I hate the social media page

[ we’ve added quite a bit of height with our receivers and DBs this class

his junior year his team was 12-1 and he led the team in solo tackles 6ft 220

Jordan Monroe charter oaks

I think there has been grade inflation, like 91 point wine

And UCD is a higher ranked team than OSU with a chance at remaining that way. But these 3 star rankings must not mean much if a 3 star can’t get a scholarship to Oregon State

plus leaving a playoff team for a basement dweller. He played for his dad in high school so been there done that.

True, but remember last year Jake Parks signed late. It’s not a matter of numbers. Hawkins indicates a few weeks back that it might be three or four.

Barbato has great credentials for a walk-on. Probably would be a linebacker since he’s 200lb
Led state in sacks; 55 catches and 107 tackles. Plays basketball too.

interesting that if we go by the list of guys we’ve offered that you maintain on first page of this discussion that Dawson Hursts the first we’ve lost to Cal Poly. If that’s true then we really don’t compete much with them for recruits.

Transfer credit is well defined coming from a JC, the more academic programs have a numbering system that maps to UC equivalents. There are a lot of classes for which one would get credit transferable to a state college but none to a UC. Conversely, there is no list that says these CSU courses map to these UC they would be evaluated individually.
There are entire majors at state colleges that have no uc equivalents. Not necessarily a bad thing but not equivalent so no credit. Or even if they got credit might not fulfill major prerequisites.

hence all the late offers.

Most class units wouldn’t transfer.

Just talking about publicity and support, I’m not sure that if we went FBS and were ranked somewhere around 30 and didn’t win our conference that we’d get as much or more press as winning an FCS national championship, or contending for multiple years.

It would not be easy for us to be a consistent top 30 FBS team, like Boise. If we went FBS we’d likely be more like San Diego State than Boise and that’s being optimistic. I’m not sure we’d get the coverage that San Diego State gets in their local market.

If we can get publicity at the lower level then the same doors would be open.
Winning is the thing that people want to be associated with, not an affiliation. The FCS/FBS thing is overrated; the distinction isn’t binary. There is a gradient of football teams. We have no chance of being a dominant team at the FBS level in the foreseeable future. Why become an FBS afterthought when we can be an FCS contender?

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.
