Sounded like they were pretty optimistic about the scout D at the end of the season. Those guys will need to step up big!

We may have offered a walk on to Hiram Johnson ATH Rahjae Johnson, 6'3", 170#s. Played at least QB and DB. Via his Twitter.

What’s your expectation of how many more signees will be added in February? Is what we see what we got or are more to come?

Unless the scout team is loaded with beasts, we could use a few impact players on D.

I learned in econ 1A that wants are insatiable. But what is left on the table and in our wallet?

If you look at our redshirt list there are some apparent prospects so I can believe we’ll get some help there. A big defensive lineman who threw discus and shot is one. Other smaller DLs as well maybe some pass rushers among them. Earnest Sayles IIIs little brother who apparently started a game as a freshman linebacker but redshirted 2017 is another, actually a number of linebackers. Just what I see on the web site but quite a number of redshirts with good lookin bios.

Another great in home visit from some @UCDfootball offensive staff. Can't wait for my official in February! #goaggies

Would be a great signing, looks like he can move.

Plough thinks we signed a game changer, I wish that tweet came from Tucker. We did have an in home visit, like Sac, with 6'0" 315# Hayward DT Suani.

Will Hawk help us land some D Studs?

Hey everyone, sorry I've haven't been around too much to update the list. Life has just been real crazy lately. I'll try to update it tonight or tomorrow. A bunch of guys have committed to other schools and we ourselves have landed 2 more commitments (both on offense it sounds like). GO AGS!

BIG TIME COMMIT! 3 star OL Jake Parks has committed to UC Davis! GO AGS!!!!

AWESOME!!! Huge get.

FYI, LB Ike Hall committed to Princeton.

Yeah I saw that, I will be updating the full list tomorrow night. Just figured I'd post the UCD news though!

Alright list is updated to the best of my knowledge... let me know if I missed anything. DT Josiah Suani took an official visit to UCD this past weekend.

Thanks! He now lists himself as 6'0", 330#s.

Wow...trying to push him around would be like trying to move a big oak tree stump!

Suani put up big numbers for a pure DT this last season. I'm sure his size helped, but from his tape it looks like he can move pretty well for a big guy.

I love the big OL signing. Sounds like we are lucky to have him!

Win win, smart kid, UC prototype.

Suani is exactly what the doctor ordered for our D. He looks great on tape. Tucker needs to lock this guy down NOW!

Is that a kid's size football he's holding in his hands?! :-O

He would help long term, but we need big help RIGHT NOW. So might the 6'5" young man from Sac, Pesefea Jr.

We need help with both interior and outside pass rushing/getting pressure on the QB. Both Suani and Pesefea could help with that sooner rather than later.

I don't recall many true freshmen being impact players on the line.

With the 5-6 Juco players we signed last year, who were key players, I'm hoping we add 1-2.

Pesefea has his official visit next weekend per Twitter.

Looks like Hawk and his staff are working hard to try and land a couple more solid recruits as the signing period nears.

Aside from QB, who were the key JC recruits last year? Cloud and who else? Cloud is coming back but plays one of the positions we’re hoping to upgrade. JC is good for adding depth where you are thin, but rarely are going to be stars and as soon as they get acclimated they graduate.

Seven key additions last year, 10 total? Flowers and Maier transferred after 1 year. About 100 tackles between the top 3.

Cloud - DT
Moe - LB
Flowers - LB
Martin - OL
O'Rourke - K
Modise - RB
Maier - QB

Long - LS
Calloway - WR
Prenvost - DL

OL Kyle Whitesides has committed to Dixie State

Huh? D-2? Must not have had a full offer from Davis?

My feeling is that the defensive JC guys we got last year are representative of what we can get from JC and since they’re in the running to play more next year, along with returning players and red shirts; does it make sense to recruit more players for just a couple of years? We’re not lacking players, we are lacking all league type of players and we are going to have to grow our own by recruiting freshmen and developing them. Obviously there are exceptions but we shouldn’t bring in large JC classes.
