If you look on this site for the 2017 recruiting class, the bulk of the recruits were two star recruits, with 3 three star..
This year CA Forever lists 11 three stars. We are also getting some with middle of the three star range which runs from 80-90, we haven’t signed guys rated above 85, whereas teams like Idaho do. Some of the most highly rated past recruits either never showed up (Jalen Harris) or never showed talent here (Sean Hariston). A high rating correlates fairly loosely with being an eventual contributor.

Why are you so negative on Axel? Reminds me of the people who were so skeptical of Cody Hawkins. Just suspend judgement until there is some evidence, of which we have none.

I don’ see an argument for a waiver other than the JC years not counting.

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

Soto worked under Mike Jacobs for 10 years at three different schools. Jacobs accepted a head coach job at Toledo a month ago.

Vargas is going to get playing time at Cal, he’ll likely be one of the top two backs. Mohammed is also very good so Vargas is not going to be the exclusive ball carrier, but he wasn’t going to do that here.

That situation is proof that schools are offering money in return for signing longer term commitments, so them holding the athlete to the commitment is an example of changes being made.

They brought in seven announced at the regular NLI signing day. I don’t recall hearing much before that date, and we might not again. Those transfers ended up being roughly half of the defense.

David Rasor’s X account says he has offers from Southern Utah, Mercyhurst, and Incarnate Word,

but no non medical redshirt. So barring an early season injury any Ivy player who played less than three or four games (I’m not sure which due to the 10 game schedule) in any of the four seasons has a year of eligibility after graduating.

They will be in an expanded conference this year.

Washington State has 30 players outbound in the transfer portal, including 3 QBs Jimmy Rogers was there for one year,

Proof that no one in the department reads posts here.

I’m encourage that Marquis Bell is on the spring roster, He played well until he broke his arm while playing in a cast. He is 6’ 205. He was playing corner, but is probably more of a safety.

One of the major losses on defense is Riddick. Big Sky All-Conference (First Team)

Ivy players do not redshirt, they must complete their time in four seasons, so that is the best source for grad transfers.
Another source might be someone who played JC ball and then graduated from a four year school, if the JC years don’t count again this year.

From a coaches perspective it was no doubt bad football, but as a fan, it was great. Teams showed athleticism, followed bad plays with great ones, game was competitive until the last moment, enthusiastic fans.

Wrighster is officially in the portal. He posted the notification that the school has notified the NCAA on Jan 4rh

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.
