Unfortunately the ESPN games.aged.out of espn. Here is one from Youtube

Most of the guys out for the season have been out for over.a month. Missing games doesn't help marketability.
It.would be interesting to know who is out for the season, we can only guess, but many of them aren't in line for a payday. Davis is only missing four starters even if you include Vargas as one. Of.those.starters two, the Connors, may not have eligibility. Winston Williams is going.to be devalued because he has an injury history. We've lost players who weren't consistent starters before, but it is unlikely there is a big market for them..

We now have one running back with meaningful experience available. Rotating running backs isn’t the same negative impact as rotating QBs, and its a position where players get hit every carry, run routes and block, so more likely to need a breather. I suspect if we had more blowouts reserves would play more, but Plough doesn’t play reserves until the very end.

The problem with Davis is not that they play two running backs, its that they should play three or four, like Sac or Montana State. Vargas isn’t leaving because the coach said he was the number 2 running back a few games into his first season except for some token carries last year.
Fisher is a redshirt sophomore.

They are both talented. Fisher is a small as an NFL prospect but so what, this is college. Fisher has plenty of it factor.
Plough made fisher wait unused while he featured Lan. Then early in this season Plough said fisher was so good that Plough said he must be the dumbest coach in America not to give Fisher more carries. Vargas was getting plenty for a guy in basically his first year. Remember that the last games of the season, starting with Idaho State were the best rush defenses on the schedule.

Interesting that Rhode Island had AP All American transfer to Memphis and then change his mind and return to Rhode Island. AJ Pena.

How tall do you think he is? I admit he doesn’t look to be 6’0” and weigh 200lbs that the roster says. The Davis roster usually not prone to exageration.
Example Christian Knoos who was a highly regarded recruit this year was listed on 247sports as 6’0 is on the roster as 5’10”
Maybe someone has stood next to Pinnick or watched a basketball game in person when he was a senior in HS.

Me too except for the house.

Yep. Based.on their not playing the toughest teams.of their already not so tough conference.
Put his house on the line against.them...that they will not beat UC Davis.

He said bet the house against them.

The increase to 105 scholarships will allow the big programs to have their cake and eat it to. They can still offer 20+ scholarships to high school players, while bringing in a dozen transfers every year.

Somehow the courts under the guise of allowing players to earn from sales of their name image or likeness, have created a system of professional teams with an independent farm system where players are directly paid by the teams, totally disconnected from how their name image or likeness is marketed.
I suspect this is because the NCAA, who were defendants in the case, largely were representing the big programs interests, some of whom were very comfortable with the opportunity to raid other rosters.

I doubt that Plough saying he was going to give Fjsher more carries hurt Vargas' feelings. If you think back to the early season Fisher was the more likely one to have explosive plays, he had waited his turn during Lan's last year. Plough didn't follow though on it anyway.
By the way, the fall off in big explosive plays for the last month coincides with playing the best rushing defences on the schedule.

i think the “NFL potential” comment was a dig at Sac State coach Marion’s comment about missing guys with NFL potential.

Lamont shamberger was on last years team, transferred here last year. Not on this years roster

I wonder if they ever consider the factors that lead the computer algorithms like Massey and Sagarin to rank Rhode Island lower. The committee considers Massey ratings. These primarily are based on comparative scores amongst all teams. You can question the value of that but is is entirely unbiased.

I'm not a coach but I believe its based on film. I'm sure information is shared among friends. But not in person scouting.

The Rhody board posters are under the misapprehension that we have a D2 win. That likely refers to Utah Tech who completed their transition before last year. Utah Tech has a higher rating than three of the teams in their conference.

i think in person scouting is not permitted. That was part of the Michigan sign stealing infraction

No, but playing. His big stop on the last drive was where he came in on a wholesale d line substitution. They have been playing all the two deep guys.
