This is a much bigger outreach than in the past. Unfortunately I’m out of the country during the San Jose/SF dates

The Mercury is running wild with this story. 3 straight days and first day was a 3-pager.

we were 6-2. Best sac state, Santa Clara (twice), Sonoma (year before they played D2) and Marin. Lost at Gavilan and Butte.

Only 2 other locals with frosh and that may have been first years, or close, for both. Frosh usually were around .500 v JCs

freshman football was HUGE! We had something like 40 guys; our FWC opponents were bringing in maybe 15 guys. Plus it was a training ground for coaches. I loved frosh football

I know they’ve done at least the Northern California version, but I think they’re publicizing it more. I went to San Jose a couple times. One year, London Breed (alum) showed at the SF event

they traveled down south. I remember talking to Fred Arp once when he was saying he had some portion of SoCal. We had a handful of guys from the LA area (Daryl Goss for example), and usually a few from the Bakersfield area.

Murphy enrolled at another school. The 3 graduates are out. I wouldn’t expect the others will be back

Tompkins is no longer a QB.

I’ve seen the younger brother play a few times and he’s a scorer. Smaller than his brother which might keep the bigger schools away

I think they had to wait to make sure they would be admitted

i was thinking the same thing. i thought there is something like 1000 athletes. 12% turnout is something like 4000 students or so? so maybe everybody BUT the athletes votes against?

Dixon was out at the golf tournament Friday. Big kid. The day I was at practice all the players had switched jerseys. There was s big ‘72’ throwing bullets. I told someone ‘maybe we should give that tackle a shot at QB’. They quickly corrected me

One thing I hadn’t appreciated about the UCs and the grad transfers - the majority of our programs are geared toward a PhD, so getting admitted for a one year commitment (even if they qualify with a 3.0) is problematic.

Vote starts today I believe

I wonder when we’ll get official annoying these transfers? Looking back, the announced Milling late April. Maybe there is another coming and they’ll make a group announcement

I was talking to staff about Whelan last week and they were saying that once he starts eating like an adult, he could put on 20 pounds. And then he will really boom the ball. Just needs to get in the NFL pipeline

Daniel Whelan signs with the Saints

but it would effect our basketball teams, correct?

did they lose alot of players to graduation/transfer? Seems like they are bringing in a ton

Looks like a decent pickup. Milling had an impact coming from Nevada; hopefully this guy fills some of the slack of Murphy/McGill.

Feeling a bit better about next year. Now, if we can get some pounds on Bora…..
