    Got it down to five points with the ball, but couldn’t get over the hump. Statistically it was a heck of a game for us..... and lost by 9!

    Got it to 10 but late layup gets it to 12 at the half. 49-37. 49 is a lot of points!

    Idaho was talked about in a Q/A answer to a schedule question . Hawk feels they will be basically FBS in terms of scholarship numbers. How do you go from 85 full to 63 shared among 85? Unless some guys bailed for other schools. But I think that’s a winnable game especially at home

    As an aside, both May and Hexter were present last night and fully engaged in the event. Hexter did bail out early -> so he could get to the women’s b-ball game! During the cocktail hour, he was giving me a detailed rundown on the game. Both of those guys get it, when it comes to the value of athletics in the campus experience

    OL was the 'bell cow' of the class, which, I believe, is a reflection on our long-term desire to be able to run the ball. Dan mentioned that to get the one or two guys you REALLY hope for, you have to offer several. I think we got one or two that were stretch 'hopes' (guys with Pac12 offers or multiple FBS offers), and hence a class with 5 OL.

    Defense should also improve with our ability to keep them off the field to rest and adjust. A solid run game is imperative to that.

    Last week was much different than a year ago. Last year, each coach got up and gave a capsule description of their recruits. Didn't do that at all. I'm guessing much of that is due to the early signing -> people have had 2 months to get familiar with 1/2 the class. I heard the expression 'turning the corner in the recruiting process' several times last night in conversations. in other words, we're getting legit Pac12 kids. we're getting legit FBS kids. kids are walking on here, instead of taking money elsewhere. should be fun to watch.

    Agalum and I were there. Not much detail about players just that we got several kids who had legit D1 offers and others who had multiple FCS offers. Got several walk ons with FCS offers. Beat out poly for a few kids and that’s a new thing

    Storm is an emergency case. Redshirt is the plan. Play only if we absolutely had to
  • Chima Moneke Suspended Indefinitely
    Several redshirts. I think we had 11 with Jackson. With Chima and him (any ideas) we’re at 9. Correct?

    we haven't had this many sac-area commits that i can remember! seems to be a big push to hit the locals.

    that tweet was from last wednesday. there are other tweets in there that seem to speak very enthusiatically about things. we might be trying to read too much into 240 characters. these guys seem pretty tight.

    announcement made it sound like university officials would be involved. nothing involving university officials could possibly be finished by 9:00 on Monday morning! maybe COB today.
