  • 2018 Recruiting List
    Do you find it interesting that none of the guys on the list in page 1 went to FCS schools in our state or our league? Almost all FBS. Perhaps we lost some that were never on your list but it appears as though our peers are not our competitors in recruiting? Surely some player we offered picked Cal Poly or San Diego... No?

    Good to hear Josiah is mobile

    Perhaps the number of DBs recruited this year are intended to address the coverage issue Thetoe highlights.

    They may not have started but Inoke Raikadroka and Zack Pettit played some as freshmen. I’m sure there are others
    We’re kind of thin at DT so there is an opportunity if he can seize it.
  • 2018 schedule released
    I saw where San Jose blames their tough season due to playing two ranked teams and Texas on the road to start season. Said it led to injuries to their young physically immature players. They apparently brought in 40 players last year so have a lot of young guys. They hope working on strength will lead to improvement and avoid injury,
    Same prescription a good idea for us.
  • 2018 schedule released
    Can't complain about league games being too tough. The whole point is to get to where we win those games,
    San Jose State game is a great opportunity for a win.
    I wish we stopped scheduling Stanford

    Gunner had notable success at Pace Academy in Georgia. Multi year starter, started some games as a freshman.
    Hunter rushed for 14 touchdowns 4.0 average longest 62 yards. 478 yards total

    Does anyone have any observation regarding Gunner Faulk in comparison with Hunter Rodriguez, another “local” to Sacramento Area QB, but with one year at American River? Both had great HS stats, both similar size.

    I agree with you on the need for improvement. I hope last years recruiting class has a few additional players who can really contribute because we brought in 30 guys. We'll find out soon. If you look at both last year's and this year's additions, we have recruited every position. I hope we hear some good reports out of spring practice

    Looking on the bright side, our defense had its moments. There is some talent returning, plus all the underclass men, redshirts and freshmen.
    I think we can be a lot better than 110 to 115. If not it’s coaching. But our coaches have records for success. I’d like to see improvement in special teams kick coverage. Little improvements can add up. Offense will be better.

    We need to hope Dr, Mike’s source was right about the scout team. There are some redshirt DLs. Maybe one of our freshmen DBs can win a job. Some underclassmen have to step up. Our returning starters need to improve, Our coaches need to do better. I just wouldn’t expect us to land a transfer who is going to start for us. Maybe I’m wrong.

    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.
  • 2018 Recruiting List
    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.
  • Doss to NFL or not?
    I don’t think he will transfer and it would not be wise to transfer. New system might not feature him, he might have a very mediocre year. Why chance that when he’s set for success here. Scouts will be watching either way. They found Jerry Rice at Mississippi Valley State, What is the upside of transferring?
  • Doss to NFL or not?
    Is he a senior or did he already graduate?
    ......Oh I see he’s mentioned in the Bee as graduating this May.
  • Toler back to Cal
    I think they are a little defensive about the relationship due to past controversy when Cody was a QB at Colorado playing for his dad.
    I’m sure he’s qualified, but they’re excessively long winded about it in his bio. He’s a young coach who played major college football with a lot of success, in his dads system. That’s a plus. He is intimately familiar with Hawkins the elders coaching philosophy and X and Os. Hopefully he can teach inspire and recruit.
  • Nice article on Ron Gould
    One of the examples of “Gould as great recruiter is based largely on players that didn’t stick around”.
  • Nice article on Ron Gould
    Tehran is last years recruit, so perhaps Gould had something to do with it but Gould was gone two months before NLI day.
    Tehran is quite an athlete.
  • Nice article on Ron Gould
    Gould as great recruiter is based largely on players that didn’t stick around. If he could recruit any position you would think it would be running backs and who did he leave us with? Justin Williams and Mitchell Layton. I like what Justin gave us but he wasn’t a talent beyond what we usually have had.
  • 2018 Recruiting List
    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.

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