The athletic department release is about the All Big Sky Team.
On Steele’s All Big Sky team, Jaden Green from Lehigh now at Cal Poly is 2nd team, Jordan Fisher is third team. I think Jordan is more deserving, not only did he face better defenses but he has more rushing and receiving yards.

In case anyone reads the Enterprise, the quote below isn’t correct.

Another quarterback who is scheduled to join the Aggies is Colton Tannerbaum, who was a redshirt sophomore for the Arizona Wildcats during the 2025 season.

Cole Tannenbaum appears not to have been played in 2025, he was a redshirt sophomore in 2024. He entered the transfer portal in April of 2025. He only has a single year of eligibility left based on the five year rule. He is a grad transfer according to Plough.

The roster issue is a multi year problem. Errors that they make there are sometimes reflected in national media, and have in past years cost at least one player league and national recognition. I can give examples, but I’d be repeating myself. Most errors don’t reflect a lack of resources, just lack of attention to detail.

You’re right.
Several players posted commitments just in the last few months. Could be they were late additions to replace losses, so i’m real curious to see the roster.

It only applies to class of ‘22 players who exhausted their eligibility in four years, in other words never redshirted. Both Stanley and Simpson started in ‘21.. Rocak in ‘20

The QB on a mission is Ty Miller from Clovis East.
Miller committed to play quarterback at UC Davis, but he won't start his freshman year until 2027. Miller understands he is likely to end up at another position. He said so in an hometown media interview.
Plough didn’t mention yesterday the QB from Idaho, Jack Brant.

Plough also mentioned as a QB Trevor from San Diego. Which must be Trevor Taumoepeau who committed on December but who I think is a walkon

Was anyone aware of Cole Tannenbaum, a player from Oaks Christian who walked on at Arizona and rose to be the #2 QB, coming here?

A quote from Dunning:

My first football story in 1970 referred to the “California Aggies,” a friendly title that has now morphed into the more proper “UC Davis.”

The school fought the name battle for a couple of decades, with each weeks game notes having a paragraph on how to refer to the school. Then Hawkins revived the CA logo. That’s funny.

It’s always interesting to see if all the signees show up. But I’m ok if it takes a week if they want to have accurate height and weight and a photo.

Congrats on the good memory.
In the box score for that game they have 14 mapped to Scott Nixon,. They do the same in the game notes for that game Eason doesn’t appear in the Cal Poly game notes. By the regular season game against Sac, Eason has #14, Nixon has 24.

He was one of those cases where he was hired as an interim head coach because he was on the staff and later made head coach based on how popular he was with the players.

I wonder what the $800/month for scholarships is supposed to cover. Just food? Can’t cover food and lodging.

One of his recommendations for saving Portland State football: Drop the money games. Play the mid level teams (G5).
That should also be a goal for Davis.

The most important thing is to have a method and apply it uniformly. If Cleeland, Eason and Guess are sophomores so is Kollock. If Jordan Fisher is a senior, so is Gologowski. Either get rid of the redshirt label or give it to everyone who qualifies.

(is the new term going to be "first year player"?)

I hope, but do not expect, that the roster comes up with a convention for describing players eligibility and stick to it. Something like fr, soph, jr, sr, 5th and list players high school graduation year like they did just a few years ago, They dropped that just before it became meaningful. HS graduation year used to be listed along with HS in the same field.

Eason’s roster bio says he didn’t make an appearance last year. Not that they keep reliable stats. Scott Nixon a 6’2” receiver wearing 24 was being used as a blocker in last half of season before being targeted in the later games.. I searched and couldn’t find any posts mentioning Eason playing.

I think there is a big unknown as to how effective the defense will be as a unit. Have to replace Psyk’s pass rush and fix the huge vulnerability the team had defending run plays. Defense has to improve by about ten points a game to match Montana State’s. The way they played starting with the Idaho State game may all be because of injuries, but the first game is an opportunity to make that case.

In early season games the number of veteran players familiar with the system is a big factor, and Davis clearly has that advantage. Davis players are not going to be overlooking anyone in the first game. The question is how new players and players in new roles perform and how well the coaches anticipate and how quickly they adapt to what the unfamiliar opponent does. Both the head coach and defensive coordinator are from Central Washington, so they probably will look like Central Washington.
