I didn't expect to see Myles Che to enter the portal after that great run by Irvine. I'm sure his NIL stock has gone way up. He played at Chattanooga last year.

Sac State introduces Mike Bibby:

$70K seems to be a pretty good number. I wonder if it's significantly better than last year?

I know that many of us Aggie fans have wondered at times if our academic requirements hamper our ability to compete for athletes when compared to the lower standards of so many schools. So it's great to see that Jeremiah Nonu has a 4.0 GPA and added "STUDENT before an Athlete" in his tweet about getting a scholarship offer from us. Plough has said that he uses our academic requirements as a positive when recruiting and that it helps the coaches narrow the field so they can focus on those athletes who have done well academically and truly value their college education as much if not more than their sport.

Davis is already committed to Sac State so interesting that Plough is still putting out the offer. Maybe he thinks he can sway him away. — CA Forever

Have we done that before? Is it common practice that schools continue to give offers to players who have publicly committed to another school? I wonder if Davis may have privately reached out or has let it be known in some way that he's still open to options?

Say what? Incredible! :gasp:

That could well be given his track record of changing schools nearly every year.

Lukas Prongos (walk-on from the basketball team) is being listed as a TE. — CA Forever

That's very surprising. Prongos took part in the MBB graduating seniors ceremony with his parents at the final home game this season.

Great to see Hutton get to play in the CFL!

Wow...Stingers completely missing in action!

FCS Daily Dose: Sac State’s Path To FBS Independent Approval

It’s no secret that FBS leaders, especially those in the Power 4, do not want to see the FBS grow by adding more FCS teams. Some within the Mountain West Conference wanted to add North Dakota State, but MWC presidents instead voted to invite Northern Illinois as a football-only member, and a big reason for that was wanting to add an already-established FBS program.

Sac State has a strong pitch to join the FBS as an independent due to its location, facility upgrades, and reported community financial support.

However, its fate is essentially up to other FBS schools and conference representatives. Will these FBS leaders deny Sac State’s request to join their subdivision as an independent? Will a “no” answer result in a lawsuit from Sac State, so they’ll say “yes” to avoid that headache? Is there a concern of opening the floodgates and a precedent if they say yes and we see other FCS programs try to take this same FBS independent route? How does the future pathway from FCS to FBS look as NCAA governance sees some changes?

It’ll certainly be interesting to see how it unfolds. Liberty was able to make a similar jump in the 2010s. Sac State hopes to follow that same path.
