he has played 16 games according to the stats

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

Several redshirts. I think we had 11 with Jackson. With Chima and him (any ideas) we’re at 9. Correct?

Isn’t gaucho the guy who posted the in depth matchup on the other thread? Nicely done

17 names on the list so far:

Let’s pumps the brakes a bit and see what transpires.

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

Someone else educated me to the hip hop reference. I’m not the intended audience

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.

we won't announce preferred walk-ons, only scholarship guys. kids can
'commit' via social media, of course. might be interesting to see a roster to see if we had some 'unpreferred walk-offs' after the big signing and quick integration of new players. i'm guessing we do the same thing of last year with combinations of grants/athletic scholarships to get a bigger than expected class.

It seems like he needs a couple of easy buckets to loosen up and get some confidence. Free throw shooting is a great sign especially in a game like that

Goode gets better and better. Reminds me more and more of JT. Onybalu’s contributions have been under the radar all season. Does the little stuff winning teams need that often goes unnoticed.

Anyone going to the signing party on Wednesday? I plan to make the drive up if I can get out of work by 3:00.

He did retweet the game winner. Maybe there is hope this is a short suspendion
