Tomorrow is the (first) big day! A lot of signings coming in and I think we will probably see some more commitments.

It's always nice to win things, but Hawk already won the REAL thing. Let them bombard it.

added commitment dates just after their commitment tweets. Getting the date off of their announcement tweets is the best I can do. They sometimes commit behind closed doors and wait a while to make it official on twitter.

Yeah I can in a bit, no problem

Josh Davis is very good, but Weber's QB, Constatine, is inconsistent and they are graduating a lot on defense. It'll be interesting to see how they do next season.

Still kind of scratching my head as to why Taylor would take a pay cut to live in an area with a higher cost of living to coach a team that currently has some serious question marks in terms of overall team talent. Definitely going to be an up hill battle for him.

I agree with CK, I think NDSU wins this one without too many issues. Having seen NDSU and EWU play a couple times this season, NDSU is just on another level.

This is an excellent hire by Sac State. Instantly makes them more of a threat than they were under Sears.

DB BJ Johnson has committed to San Jose State... interesting choice...

DB George Udo has committed to BYU

WR Railan Peace has committed to Columbia

Looking at rosters over at least the last 10 years, Maier is one of the shortest QBs we've had in that time period and he took us to the quarterfinals in the playoffs. The all-time leader in passing yards in the NFL is a "short" QB. If you can ball, you can ball and I'm honestly surprised that coaches aren't becoming more receptive to that.

I mean, I don't have numbers for you in terms of 40 yard dash times and what not but I've watched tape on all of the QBs on the roster and by my eye none of the rest of them possess Tompkins combination of passing ability, scrambling, elusiveness, ect.

Now I could be wrong, there's a lot I don't know about these kids... but I've been following the recruiting stuff for a while now and I haven't seen us get anything quite like him before. Backed up by articles stating he would be getting BIG TIME offers if he was an inch or two taller.

These rankings are from maxpreps... but Tompkins team was ranked 14th best in the state... some of their opponent's ranks (all wins minus Folsom)

Folsom (4th in state)
Liberty (31st in state)
Bakersfield (47th in state)
Buchanan (32nd in state)
Clovis (90th in state)

Far from an easy conference, not quite the strength of some of the private leagues in Southern California though. It should be noted that against Folsom, again ranked 4th in the state, he still threw for close to 500 yards and 5 TDs and added 80 yards rushing. Defense lost Central that game. Some of those were playoff games. Point still stands that he dominated everyone in his path.

Guys on the Sac board have been hearing that Troy Taylor (Utah OC) has been offered the HC position. This would be a huge get for the hornets in my honest opinion. Taylor was very good as co-OC at EWU and has Utah's offense in the top third of FBS teams according to Massey.

Rumors of other finalists includes Angus McClure (UNR assistant HC), Jon Osterhout (ARC HC), and Klayton Adams (co-OC Colorado).

Couldn't agree more. Competition at any position is health. Coaches have to put their best players out on the field.

Again, Sochor isn't putting any of the other QBs on the roster down, but Tompkins is objectively the most athletic QB we will have had on the roster in a long long time. Maier will start, but I agree that I wouldn't be surprised if Tompkins walked in and was #2 on the depth chart next season... or he might be bottom of the totem pole, you just never know.

My bad, fixed.

New offer out on DE/OL Zach Kennedy out of Eastlake High School in Sammamish, WA. Holds Big Sky offers from UC Davis and Northern Colorado. Has a PWO offer from Washington State.
