When transferring from FCS to FBS, no waiting year is required.

We need to get this winner back somehow.

I know Hawkins would probably have his own guys, but this would be neat.....

Dan Hawkins HC
Troy Taylor OC
Mark Johnson DC
Jeff Copp assistant
Tim Plough assistant
Keane assistant

Copp and Plough are at NAU
Mark Johnson, last I heard, is at Woodland Christian right up the road

You mentioned hoping that Gould doesn't poach us.....
Me too! Kelley and Doss could probably play at Fresno State tomorrow.
If Gould truly values his relationship with these kids, I don't think he could truly, in good faith, lure them from UC Davis to Fresno State (provided he lands there with Tedford). After all, the recruiting mantra was "College is not a 4 year decision, its a 40 year decision."

I like your list, with exception of anyone from Montana from that era....
I like the idea of Blue reaching out to Peterson, Patterson, Hawkins, his Stanford connection- Shaw, etc, for leads on assistants. I would bet HC's wouldnt want to volunteer their guys, but you never know what could come up.

I really would like to see more size and an inside presence. UC Irvine, UCSB and UCR don't seem to have problems signing guys over 6'9" We are talking about a style of play here with Les.

If we are holding ourselves to a higher academic standard when recruiting compared to Cal, UCLA, UCI, UCSB, and UCR AND are expecting to be competitive in the Big West more than once every 5 seasons, we are fooling ourselves. But this is a completely different topic, I know.

Hawkins.

Dr. Blue, just make it happen this time. The last guy fumbled.

Les seems to recruit guards well. I don't like that we don't have a center, or anyone over 6'9" (yearly it seems). I would like to see better records (who doesn't), especially when we DON'T have the best player in UCD history. All-in-all, he has been better than the last guy.

Les is 68-92 overall.

Les overall winning %: .703
Stewart D1 winning %: .582

I was going to go into subtracting the Hawkins "anomaly," but Les got him to come to Davis...which was a feat in itself.

We lose 20 Seniors. This is going to be interesting.

To put things in perspective, Sac St. is losing 6. I'd say 20 is a lot of guys to lose.

I hope we can put something together coaching-wise to save some of these recruiting commits.

Honestly don't enjoy seeing anyone lose their job. I hope we find the right fit this time.
