• 2023 Season Preview
    Poerio was discussed in the Aggie Pro Day article, which says last year was his last season, even though he still has a year of eligibility left, so he’s moving on.
  • Hack City's 2023 Big Sky Football Preview
    Ambagtsheer hopefully will be back healthy. After that scouting report from a Cal fan, I was watching for his return, but he only got into one game, and left with an injury.
  • Hack City's 2023 Big Sky Football Preview
    I like Chukwudobe too.
    He is now 195lb and he runs with determination.
    I don’t know if he’s sacrificed much speed but he ran a sub 11 second 100 in high school. (They did a profile on him in winter of 2020, but they incorrectly understated his speed by a full second}
    We haven’t seen him catch anything.
  • Hack City's 2023 Big Sky Football Preview
    One thing in favor of the new QB coach is that he coached a QB that got a lot of yards per completion.
    We are lucky to have Larison who gained nearly 500 yards at 7.5 yards per carry and is a good receiver. We have to hope our backs can be a durable as Gilliam, he was amazing in that regard.
  • Hack City's 2023 Big Sky Football Preview
    These guys talked about four teams, notably ignoring Weber. Davis doesn’t play Montana State or Idaho this season. I think Sac comes back to the pack in 2023, Montana will have a new QB, likely a guy at this third school without playing much so QB will be a big question for them. Montana has supposedly the best HS recruit at running back they’ve ever had. Overall, I think the league schedule is maybe a bit easier, with us missing some of the tougher teams.
  • Mike Cody promoted to OC
    Yeah but he was comparing to prior years, where he said they had worked on new things more, that they didn’t end up using., It sounded like they didn’t put in much that was new. Which is noteworthy when you change offensive coordinators.
  • Mike Cody promoted to OC
    Hawkins answered some questions after the last winter scrimmage
    https://ucdavisaggies.com/news/2023/3/4/football-aggies-conclude-winter-ball-with-saturday-scrimmage.aspx

    Hawkins said they focused on fundamentals, and that Mike Cody has been around Plough and Cody Hawkins so he knows how they do things here. I take that to mean they aren’t changing much.
  • New QB coach
    Here is a profile of the QB coach.

    H.S. Graduate in Oklahoma, then a year at a Connecticut prep school with likely goal of getting an Ivy League scholarship, then offered walk on at Oklahoma State, injured in spring so never played for them, then walk on at North Texas, best game was his last with two rushing touchdowns coming in as reserve. Earned multiple degrees before using up his eligibility and then more as an assistant. So clearly a hard working and studious guy. 30 years old, never an on field coach. Must be something special about him, because Davis has two guys on staff, who’ve coached QBs but are now the running back coach and the tight end coach.

  • Big Sky Recruiting 2023
    NAU had some good recruiting classes in recent years too.
    I was surprised they fell off so much.
  • Big Sky Recruiting 2023
    There haven’t been the usual recruit class rankings for BigSky teams, Cal Poly and Portland State made Hero Sports top ten. Northern Arizona brought in 10 Transfers, mostly from FCS schools but includes a QB from Cal, Kai Millner, and a linebacker from UCLA, Jeremiah Trojan. Sac State getting Carson Camp is big.
    I think our class is a good one but no transfers.
  • 2023 Football Recruiting
    Sam Huard , played four games. Former 5* recruit for Washington,
    They also have a former 4* recruit offensive lineman who transferred from UCLA, after attempting suicide. He’s from San Luis Obispo, so maybe a wise move.

  • 2023 Football Recruiting
    They are all three star recruits. I don’t think they can even get the * ratings right much less accurately rate these guys rated 1 - 50
  • 2023 Football Recruiting
    Are you believing the David Rasor Cal Poly bit? I think that’s just a mistake.
    Out of the fifty Cal Poly has three, Davis has three, if you move Rasor to Davis
  • 2023 Football Recruiting
    Judging by the committed elsewhere list on 1st page of this discussion, we lost only one recruit to a Big Sky team, Sac State and a couple to Ivy League. This is a multi year pattern.
    Good players from California go to other Big Sky schools, but we apparently don’t compete for those players. The ones we contest for we lose to FBS or Ivy League.

    MVP of this year Polynesian All American game in Southern California.
  • 2023 Football Recruiting
    Ja'san Morton has signed NLI.
    I saw the notice on the website on signing day but then it disappeared.but it’s there now.

  • 2023 Football Recruiting
    Who is the offensive line coach? Or did Cody talk about those OL players. Any of those guys might play defense?
  • New QB coach
    Has never actually been the QB coach.
    Hawkins seems to like hiring young guys who had analyst positions with FBS schools.
    2018 Player stats: Finished 6 of 16 for 53 yards with three interceptions and had 21 carries for 89 yards and two touchdowns in 13 games
  • What Will It Take to Keep Pace with the Success of Sac State Now?
    We had a good team.
    The Weber game was one we should have won and losing kept us out of the playoffs, And that loss was more due to coaches decisions than on the players.
