New transfer portal offer on RB Cade Searcy from division 2 East Central University. He's rushed for 1,000+ yards and averaged over 5.5 yards per carry over the last 2 seasons with the Tigers. He also has picked up an offer from South Dakota State.

Rex or Batson replacement?

Man, every player in that pic was a legit FBS-caliber defensive player. That was a fun year.

Didn't we go big on DBs in last year's class? Hopefully we have one in-house or in-Portal

Is Matteo coming back for one more?

The tv broadcast team mentioned that a player redshirted because he wanted to work out in the new Madden facility. Seemed odd.

We had some highly rated DBs who missed most or all the season due to injury . Cravin, Totten, and Albert Richardson
Ty Richardson still has eligibility.
By the way did you see Ty's brother's catch for USC in the Alamo bowl?

The team actually has a Spring 2026 Spring roster posted. Doesn't list Pinnick or Rasor. but does list Wrighster.

Phenomenal catch by the older Richardson for sure, saw it all over social media. Glad we get his younger brother and Drew back (knock on wood and hopefully for a full season for both) for another run at this

he’s in the same boat as the twins so pending lawsuit results

Need a longer FS to match up with the bigger guys over the middle. The young guys are pretty slight and none over 5’10. Put on the wishlist with a TE, another TE (or big receiver with some position versatility), a big back to rotate with Fish, and a QB.

A lot of feet-dragging on this. Not helping schools by leaving this unresolved for so long. Legal system takes forever, but the NCAA fighting this so hard is crazy given the way anything goes these days.

About all the NCAA has left is the authority to define eligibility rules for players on NCAA teams. Due to court cases they can’t count years played in either pro or junior college against the five year rule, but they can define what a year of participation in NCAA play is. Connors’ case challenges that remaining authority.

All the NCAA has left is the FCS and lower divisions...

New transfer portal offer on TE Cyrus Ellison from South Carolina State. GO AGS!

New JUCO offer on K Tyler Haley from Grossmont College. GO AGS!

Cyrus Ellison is listed as 6'4 225, graduated Magna Cum Laude from South Carolina State and has 1 year of eligibility left.

Ellison simply needs to look at how Plough utilizes the TE position and the season Simpson had. He also has Rhode Island and Tennessee Tech offers. I saw URI in person, no real Tight End presence. Offensive scheme matters, Cyrus. Choose Davis!

For Ellison the Davis offer is the only one that got "!!" for whatever that's worth. Seems like his best offer so far.

The fact that a kid even used punctuation in text/social media has to mean something. His measurables are nearly identical to Simpson's as far as height/weight.

TE next year is going to be big for the Davis offense, that's my two cents. Whoever fills the role alongside Winston Williams will get significant feature in the scheme, hopefully Winston stays healthy all year but as always, at ANY position, it's important to build quality depth in case that depth has to play most of the season... See Cole Batson 2025.

Yup. One from the portal + the young guys coming up to be the #3/#4 TEs and we have some versatility. Would also like to see the Fullback position utilized at times... can be a shorter TE (6'1"-6'2" type) or even a Linebacker. Put that QB under Center, sub out the Slot for a Fullback, talk dirty to me baby!

2 new JUCO offers

Bakersfield College DB Nsongbeh Ginyui

Saddleback College LB Jack Knudtson

With 1/3 of played in the portal, I really wish we used it less for the juco route and more for backups at bigger schools. Same goes for basketball.

It depends on the player, not where they are coming from. We just graduated two all conference players who came from junior college.

JUCO is a fantastic route for kids to play in cfb. What is wrong with a JUCO? If we took your advice, do you know how many great football players you would miss? OJ Simpson, Aaron Rogers, Larry Allen, are just a couple names that pop out in my head of great JUCO players who went on to be great players.

Stop falling in love with the "brand".

Chris Peterson, Jake Maier (who we grabbed early).

During one of our Zoom's or at monthly lunches, Plough mentioned that they would start to be charged more for the cost of grad transfers (compared to in-state undergrad). I wonder if we will see less grad transfers (which we seemed to utilize in the portal) since we took a few out-of-state freshmen transfers?

i said “less” not “stop it entirely”. There are a handful of outliers but there are also gems buried at the ends of top programs who aren’t getting playing time.

Stop falling in love with the “brand” is a wild statement in response to wanting more of a balance in where we get talent from.

Meanwhile there’s an army of swimmers, golfers and basketball players from around the globe on scholarship. Football and basketball being charged OOS tuition is such a bush move by Gary and just reinforces the lack of weight Rocko carries with Mrak.
