“A coach like Coach Tedford, how can you pass that up the opportunity?” said Comstock, who holds offers from Oregon State, Idaho, Eastern Washington, UC Davis, Army and Azusa Pacific. “I mean that guy is second to none. I believe with that style of coaching and level of coaching, we can make some noise in the Mountain West in the next couple of years.”

Brings back great memories!

The official news release from the Aggie website says that Lamson will switch to the offensive line.

The December 22-23 Continental Tire Las Vegas Classic appears to be struggling to find participants with only Nevada-Reno and the Ags listted at the moment. Most of the the other similar tournaments have their fields set.

Nice find, tokyoag, but Alberts looks like a long shot at best for several reasons. First, I'm not sure we even have a 2017 scholarship available at this point to offer to him and, secondly, it appears that, at this point, he is only considering a visit to Davis. Hawaii is recruiting him heavily and he already has visited other schools so we're late to the party. Since Alberts would be a graduate transfer, he would be able to play immediately and, according to a recent article on the Aggie sports website, it was stated that the 2017 MBB recruiting was finished.

If we do have a 2017 spot available he would be quite a get for the Ags. A player of his calibre paired with the exceptional talent of Chima Moneke would give the Ags a great one-two punch.

BTW, the Hawaii Tribune-Herald link you posted does not open but I found the article content here:

Totally agree. I like that Coach Les and his staff are hitting the recruiting trail hard and fast for the 2018 class. According to verbalcommits we already have 13 offers out there:

At 5'8 and 145 pounds you've got to be quick to play at the D1 level and he looks to have the ability to leave defenders tripping over themselves. I think Coach Les has landed a diamond in the rough that might really shine with a little polishing up. Who knows...he might grow to 5'9 by the time he dons an Aggie uniform... (Y)

Great set of pics with his family (all wearing UC Davis gear) and with Coach Les on his twitter page:

They were both rotten calls! I don't even want to think about them again!

Fantastic!

It looks like we might be ramping up our OOC schedule. The home and home with Pacific is great.

There was a time when we were a QB factory and I'm sure Hawk remembers it well.

I saw this. We lost a very good one to the Pilots.

Fantastic news! Brynton is a hard working, highly intelligent young man and one of the finest, all-around basketball players ever to wear the Aggie uniform. Good luck, Brynton! You absolutely deserve this opportunity. (Y)

Ags win the 2017 Causeway Cup by 50 points 62.5 - 12.5 which is the largest margin in the 13 year history of the Cup:

Garrett Curran has just received an offer from Hawaii also.

(Y) It would be great if both MBB and WBB did this each year and make it a senior tradition. I think it could be used as a good recruiting tool also because it shows the great relationships the players have developed and how at ease they are with their coach. Coach Les is laser focused and very competitive when the game starts so it's nice to see another side of him. He's clearly having a lot of fun. There are a lot of D1 coaches out there who would not be comfortable driving around town rapping with his players and having a blast.

Haha...what a fun video! The thing that impresses me the most is seeing just how tight a group these seniors are with each other and their coach. A solid basketball foundation has be laid over the past few years with Coach Les at the helm. All the players to come have some broad shoulders to stand on and take the program to even higher levels of success.

Bruce Gallaudet wrote a good article about the new Aggie basketball recruits we have signed. All of the new players are high character individuals. Some of the recurring themes about why they chose to come to Davis are the coach, the school and the great basketball culture that has been established.

I like the fact that the coaching staff is making offers to players who are getting FBS attention. UCD has a lot to offer and we just might land a couple of these players. If we don't offer there is no chance whatsoever. I think it also shows the confidence that Hawkins and his staff have in what we have to offer and where we are going. They're setting the bar high and some of these athletes might realize that they can get an outstanding education and a lot of playing time at Davis and, if they perform very well, it's is not out of the question that they could make it to the next level. Heck, we had guys do that when we were D2 so why not now?

This is a well written article about Brynton's journey that really illustrates the the values and life lessons that college athletes can learn when they are a part of a program that is built on a foundation of integrity and togetherness.

Brynton Lemar is a fantastic young man and it's been a pleasure to have been able to watch grow during his career at UCD.
