Like I have said elsewhere, I'm really just looking for improvement this year... any kind of improvement. While it would be nice, as a fan I'm not really aiming at conference championship or anything this next year. I agree that Hawkins won't make a lot of the same mistakes that Gould was making (clock management, questionable play calling, ect).

Well, unfortunately the Aggies cold streak at the beginning of the game comes back to haunt them as they fall 70-74. Too many turnovers and it took too long to start heating up on the 3's.

Yeah I know we've had our inconsistencies this season, but we're only down by 4. We've come back from a whole lot worse this season. I think the boys got it in em to bring this one back.

Well... Aggies find themselves down by 4 at halftime, 28-32. Game is far from over, but shooting 0% from beyond the 3 point line is hurting (although it's only on 4 attempts). Gotta heat up just a little bit in the 2nd half and we got this.

I haven't read the articles, but you are correct. Daniel Whelan, our new freshman punter, kicked something like a 72 yard field goal in practice, not O'Rourke.

Sloppy, but a win is win! 61-53 GO AGS!

I thought there was an article out awhile ago that had Hawk talking about how they were dramatically changing the weight training program for the team and that they thought that would help to decrease our plague of injuries. I agree with what he was saying though, every team has injuries. It's how you handle those problems that determines success or failure. Unfortunately, under Gould our system wasn't prone to adaptability.

Well you guys sure have me pumped up. Hawkins and staff are saying all of the right things right now. They just need to show improvement on the field, any improvement at all and I will be really stoked. Also, no or little power run game? Please and thank you, so tired of seeing us try to force it the last several years.

Any more details in general from the staff? Sounds like it was a fun event.

I would be happy too! Huge influx of talent. Read the bios of the new recruits on the athletic website, we got some seriously talented athletes in this class. Will we immediately have success this next year? Probably not, but this is a good first step in my opinion.

Yeeeeeah I don't know. I'm just as confused as you are. Like I said though, Hawk didn't really seem worried by the situation.

Also this was just a press conference. There is an event later tonight that I think some members of the board are attending. They can hopefully fill us in on anything of interest.

He said something along the lines of once you go over 30 scholarships in a class you can start applying scholarships from previously classes to any extra guys... something like that. We were only 2 guys over the 30 scholarships, so not that bad I guess. The 32 that have been signed are the official class at this point. Any other guys that are committed are probably walk-ons but they are not allowed to talk about them until they get to campus in the fall. He said that we have a lot of walk-ons looking to play here. At the end of the day he didn't seem at all concerned about the scholarship issue.

The live stream just went up on the athletic website.

Here's the link again for those interested.

The athletic website has put together a really nice page on this recruiting class. It also looks like they will be hosting a Youtube live stream for the event, which is available on this page. What time does this event start?

As I suspected Jalani Eason has committed to PSU.

LB Donovan "DJ" Taylor has committed and signed a LOI! We had the offer but he hadn't committed from what I had been able to determine. Glad to have him on board!

Uhhhhh... wow. That is quite the name that's for sure!

OL Nick Ford has committed to Utah.

Ahhh ok NPB, yeah BGA got it. It was my major, definitely not an easy one.
