New offer on Sac State transfer kicker, Evan Kiely

We also don't have any punter currently listed haha

I'm not against under the radar guys. We've had some hugely successful under the radar guys like Lan Larison. This just feels like we had to go to the back up plan after missing out on all of our initial OL offers which doesn't necessarily feel good.

Winston Williams is on the updated Spring roster. The young guns in the WR room are going to have to step up because the guys that are returning cumulatively had less than 1000 yards on the season. I was hoping that we could have enticed a transfer portal guy looking for big time snaps given the exodus of receivers.

I believe 2024 is a typo though. Names like Larison, Hastings, Tompkins, Hutton, Davis, Bains, Cotton are all missing.

Spring roster is up. WR room looks thin to me. Perez is listed.

Agreed that we need to be ready to answer the call when it comes and I think it's going to come sooner rather than later. I still think that our move to the MW in all other sports is a clear indicator that football will follow given appropriate facilities and financial upgrades. Hopefully we will get an announcement about CONCRETE developments from Rocko. That seems to largely be how he operates outside of his stadium rendering tweet.

I don't want to go as far as I saying that I'm worried about WR, but I do think it's concerning that of players that put up notable stats last season we're only returning Gbatu. Dobbins should get more play time, but we're losing A LOT of talent there.

I personally think we're going to get a combination of Fisher and Vargas next season at RB. They are 2 very different runners, could be a real lightning and thunder combo.

he's sounding more and more like a used car salesman

* UC Davis has first right of invitation if the MW elevates a football program from the FCS level; that could complicate the MW attempting to add a school like North Dakota State, South Dakota State, Montana, Montana State or Sacramento State

* UC Davis will get a phased-in share of the MW's NCAA Tournament units, starting with one-sixth share of those units in 2026-27, a two-sixth share in 2027-28 and so on by a one-sixth share each year until getting full-share status in 2031-32. For each NCAA Tournament unit earned by UC Davis, it will increase its share by one-sixth

* UC Davis agreed to give the MW a grants of media rights through June 30, 2032, which is a condition the remaining MW schools also gave to the conference

* UC Davis would owe the MW $3 million if it does not join the conference in 2026

* UC Davis' entry fee to the MW, which was redacted, will be paid in six annual installments; Northern Illinois had a six-payment entry fee totaling $2 million to join the MW

* UC Davis agreed to increase its annual men's basketball expenses to certain financial levels in 2026-27, 2027-28 and 2028-29; those specific benchmarks were redacted; UC Davis spent $2,823,059 on men's basketball in fiscal year 2023; comparatively, Nevada's men's basketball budget in 2023 was $4,978,558; the MW's lowest figure was San Jose State at $3,254,424, more than $430,000 higher than that of UC Davis

* UC Davis agreed to spend a minimum figure in men's basketball game guarantees for "winnable home games;" that benchmark was redacted

Seems like a lot of these late offers are on real under the radar kind of guys. A lot of D2 offers. Not necessarily a bad thing, but not looking like we're really offering any high profile players late in the game here.

Anyway, list has been updated. GO AGS!

Pumped for the first episode of 2025! I'm already looking forward at the roster and trying to fill in the empty spaces. The offense is going to be so different, I'm interested in your guys' takes on QB, RB, WR, etc. Gonna be a lot of new faces all around.

Kavir Bains commits to Pitt

Nice! The brother of incoming freshman QB Treynor Cleeland! GO AGS!

It'll be interesting to see if Plough makes a move on this. We had an offer on AJ last year and he is from Davis. Come on home and bolster the OL!

I live in SEC country and I can say that it is not uncommon at all for people to follow their rival's recruiting. That being said, football is a way of life down here. I also don't think there is a singular correct way in being a fan. If you don't want to be invested as much as others that's fine just as it's fine if there are folks who do want to be heavily invested.

I think going out hiking is kind of strange, but it's totally fine if people want to do that.

Sac State is killing it in the portal right now though. Marion is going to have them reloaded with talent immediately. It's just a matter of implementing his plan which is a coin flip if it works in year 1.

I think just going after USC kids is easier said that done in the NIL era. Even benchwarmers at some of the big name universities are looking to get a big pay day. For some it will happen, for others it won't.

Dang... 6'6 transfer WR Cameron Barmore commits to University of Arizona
