Good ideas guys, I can make a new thread for signing day.

That is definitely something I can look into doing on the list on signing day. If Hawk and crew do things relatively similarly to Gould, then they will be posting individual twitter posts for each player that signs. I, and others are welcome to as well, will be posting those here and they might have their other offers. Otherwise I can go through the recruiting sites and put it all together. Thanks for the suggestion.

We've been out of that race for a long time. Same with Jojo Falo and Andrew Nichols on the other side of the ball. They have all had Davis at the "No Interest" level on the recruiting sites for a long time now. Just haven't moved them on the list because they haven't actually committed somewhere yet. Maybe that will be a category I add for the recruiting list next season, so we would have: Committed, Offers (broken down by position), No Interest, and Committed Elsewhere.

Yeah I wasn't sure if Layton was scholarship or not. Anyway, Hawk clearly wants to land another RB before all is said and done.

We also have Justin Williams at RB, he wasn't a walk on... at least I'm pretty sure he was a scholarship athlete. In this upcoming class we have committed RB Tehran Thomas, who was a wildcat QB in high school, and ATH Jordan Perryman, RB was one of the many positions he played (not sure if he is actually committed to play RB). I think our size at DE is fine, we have lost some size in the middle though.

In reference to Namane Modise, I went back and looked on twitter and apparently he did commit to SELA, but he has since deleted the tweet where he announced. There are a lot of retweets on his account congratulating him on committing to SELA from around Dec 10th, but the tweet that he was retweeting at the time is no longer available... so deleted. Take that as you will I guess.

His account also doesn't have any mention of being a SELA commit or anything like that in the profile.

Yes, it happens all the time that programs offer kids who are already committed. It seems like we are trying to land a last minute RB. We've put out offers late to Modise and Demercado. I'm fairly sure Nevens is going to go SJSU.

I just went back and took a 2nd look at the tweet I was talking about. He actually said he hasn't signed anywhere which is different from saying he isn't committed. I'm not sure, we'll see in a couple of days I guess.

Yes I also saw that. On Twitter he has stated that he is not committed anywhere and that that is a mistake.

Yep, that SELA offer was the only other one I was able to find as well. Not much of a move from SF to Davis.

Most all of our commits posted on social media about receiving offers from Davis before they actually committed to play. To me that means scholarship and not necessarily preferred walk on, although I'm sure we will have some of them. I'm sure that some players have chosen to not continue with the program, I would be shocked if we retained all of our current players.

City College of San Francisco RB Namane Modise has received an offer from UC Davis. I wouldn't mind getting a Gabe Manzanares from them again.

Named Offensive Player of the Year, 1st Team All-Conference RB

The UCD Football page on Facebook has updated to the one font logo. Hopefully this means that we might get new uniforms with that font.

K Max O'Rourke has committed to UCD!! GO AGS!

Welcome to the boards, Central Coast. I agree with you in a sense. Projecting long term, from high school to the NFL, the star system doesn't hold a lot of weight. From high school to college, however, I think there is some validity there.

I mean, for instance, Alabama, Ohio State, Clemson, ect. are all made up of almost exclusively of 4 and 5 star athletes. Davis gets mostly 2 star and unranked athletes and a couple of 3 stars thrown in. We've never gotten anywhere close to a 4 star athlete.

Anthony Quintana has committed to Southeastern University.

Good to see a couple of our guys up in the top part of that list. I'm also ok with having "chip on their shoulder" guys too. Davis used to thrive on those guys and we can do it again.

I don't think we could offer him if he was really only in the 140's. He would get destroyed by Big Sky WR's.

Got a commitment from a player I didn't know had an offer from us! DB Jaylin White from Vista Murrieta High School! GO AGS! Had offers from Nevada and Army.

Thank you, Movie. It's not a lot of work once you know what to look for and I like being able to provide something to the AST community. Plus, it gives me something to do in the off season!

Size-wise this is a massive class (20+) but I think the coaching staff has done a good job at making sure that it is balanced. When you have balanced classes you will less often have to have recruiting classes where it is an emergency to pick up guys in a certain position. Kudos to Coach Creighton who has managed to develop this recruiting class considering the change in staff (although from what we are hearing, Hawk is making a buzz here).
