Glenn Fricker is still the career and single season record holder. That was 84! Tom Williams was probably before sacks were official but he was really good. Mason Moe was a disruptive player.

What stood out about Williams? Size, speed?

I believe Casey Merrill had both.

Williams was before my time so only saw him on highlight reels. Big and strong, don’t know about his speed. Merrill was a very powerful guy, had the bull rush. Rick Mohr was similar.

I didn’t see Robby Flannery ( my off the radar period) but he’s a hall of famer.

James Amos and John Faletoese. They made up one hell of a unit together 2005-07.

Casey was a monste. I remember a game when we were in a close game and they were moving against us, and everyone started yelling Casey, Casey. He then was in their backfield on a regular basis. I think it was against Bethune Cookman

Amos and Faletoese, remember watching those two. That might've been the best Aggie defense to ever take the field. Stifled Stanford in '05.

It's been awhile, but the list has been updated.

Cal Poly and UC Davis have always chased a lot of the same student athletes because of our tough academics requirements, but with the differences in their offenses they would some variances. I think now that our offenses are similar we will be butting heads even more in the years to come.

On the current list Cal Poly has also offered the following players:

Assani Berkeley
Logan Kraut
Bryson Reeves
JT Byrne
Christian Pederson
Winston Williams
Nick Ostland
Jekob Jones

I talked to the former staff a lot about recruiting. They said they won the majority of the recruiting battles with Davis when Biggs was the head coach. That started changing some when Gould was hired and even more so when Hawkins and his staff came in.

TE JP Murphy commits to San Diego State

No surprise there given the number of high quality TE's we've already landed.

My anecdotal experience was, neither the Ellerson nor Biggs administrations had much of a systematized recruiting operation. We didn't go head-to-head as much as you might think (very different systems & player admissions standards). When we did compete for recruits, it was by force of will and influenced by extraneous factors (like location, Cal Poly's playoff runs, UCD's D1 transition/new stadium/Stanford win) versus anything repeatable like marketing, early engagement, thorough scouting, campus visits, etc.

Been a while so I updated the thread. The coaches have alluded to 2 different commitments, but I haven't been able to find them on twitter or the recruiting websites.

GO AGS!

No Poly. No Davis. EW way down the line, but at least listed.

I am very disappointed that the Hawk did not approach Thompson to transfer to UCD

This is a hack. I never posted this.

didn’t sound like you

Found one of the commitments! DB George Moreno out of Sierra College. Went back and looked at high school tape and he plays very fast. Ran a 4.45 40 in HS.

Nice find. Plough recently tweeted that we had a "huge commitment out of the 415 area code also but I haven't been able to find him yet.

George Moreno 6'0 190 transfer from Sierra College with 3 years left to play 2.

RB Matteo Perez has committed to UC Davis over his other offers of Eastern Washington and Sac State. Last season Perez rushed for over 2000 yards and added 30 touchdowns on the ground.

Outstanding get for Speckman et. Al. Fast, explosive and durable. Excellent kid and good student. May be the 415 guy that Plough mentioned?

I believe so

My brother-in-law knows some of the Cardinal Newman coaches which did beat MC in a playoff game last season. That said they added: “This Perez kid is just awesome- we could not do much to stop him. Great fit for UC Davis’ program.”

On his Twitter he mentioned he was going ahead with plan to enroll early. With high school football now January-April, that might mean skipping senior season

Another new commit! DB Christian Calhoun has committed to the Aggies over an offer from University of San Diego.

Impressive! DB a very hard position to recruit. Good job by coaches to get this kid.

Sweet! Scholar baller.

Cameron Salerno@cameronsalerno1: "Former Columbia WR @mozesmooney3
is transferring to @UCDfootball
.
"In Mooney’s two years at Columbia, he caught 15 passes for 115 yards & had two touchdowns.

"In his HS career at The Bishops School in La Jolla, he had 276 catches for 3,954 yards & 79 total TDs.

"Nice get for UCD."

This is a older tweet but it's pretty cool:

Awesome catch! With a new QB the more receiving talent the better!

Transfer LB coming in from UCLA also.

If so, could be 6'2", 199# referred walk on Connor Barbato from Rohnert Park.
