these days it’s hard to figure! Almost expect an announcement that we’ve signed Kevin Thomson!

says he started all but one game in 2019; that’s a full season

check out their roster and depth chart. Starters from Florida and Texas!

Entire OL 300 or more!

article says he has 2 years left?

they’ve had facilities in place for awhile. I think we’re still catching up on scholarships and number in the program. Hawkins really focused on SDSU having 85 on scholarship, taking full advantage of the COVID exemption. I’m guessing Bison did too. Their recruiting area extends throughout the Midwest from border to border, prime area for big old linemen!

money and commitment. And getting BIG linemen from the Midwest! Quality OL/DL candidate are getting more scarce in the west coast!

that is such a Davis thing....i just don't see fans running into Geno Auriemma at school pickups! Coach Gross is a real gem.

My gut tells me we are looking at making the announcement during the ‘traditional’ February timeframe. There are still names being added to the portal, and possibility that some seniors will opt out. Spring ball is moving back to spring, so perhaps our recruiting schedule is moving back to late winter

in the East Bay times today there are articles about Cal, SJSU, and Stanford recruiting. Cal signed 10 but expect many more by February. WIlcox was saying they still aren't sure how many scholarships they have available since some Seniors with COVID exemptions still haven't made up their minds about returning. I believe the NCAA easing of scholarship limits was a one-year only thing.

SJSU is hitting the portal hard.

in the section for Bay Area seniors signed, there were about 10 -> that's a pretty small number compared to the past.

they announced the first signing on the web page. Looks odd

Its a little weird that the first announcement came around 7 AM, the second at 7 PM.

Could be that between transfers, JUCO and COVID limits, there will be a trickle down to the FCS so we’ll see a bunch in the traditional February time frame

I remember watching that game in Comcast Bayarea (or whatever it was called then). I believe Greg Papa on the call. I also remember both Mark Payne and Joe Harden being out with injury yet we pulled it off! Ended the 49 game losing streak.

It almost seems like that announcement came out prematurely. In the past, they rolled them out one after another.

Last season didn’t Portland and one or more Idaho school announce a class of a couple guys on signing day? I think I remember them eventually naming a full and well regarded class.

Who knows

I think being the underdog let’s them play looser. When the shots didn’t fall vs the Urban Legends, we got tighter and tighter in all aspects of the game. Last night, they stayed loose, weathered the early poor shooting and got more confident as the game went on.

I with we had a better 4-out offense in the final minutes. I don’t mind seeing Ezra work the clock and take a shot at the end , but a back door or open 3 off his drive would be nice. And DO NOT FOUL on the rebound after working the me shot clock!

I’ll be at UOP; short drive. UCSB seems to be off to a bit of a slow start. Love to see a sweep of the tigers. Remember that LONG losing streak we had to them?

I know the NCAA bumped up the number of scholarships allowed to deal with the COVID extra year, but not sure for how long and, probably more importantly, whether we took advantage of that (it’s not free!). Based on Hawk’s comments post SDSU and their 85 scholarships, I’m guessing we didn’t use the full allotment.

What’s the process, Finn?

might explain their record!

Quite a start to second half; up 48-37!

Listening and live stats while at a high school basketball game. Looks like we’ve overcome a frigid shooting start to be down 2 at the half. Pepper 0-5? Need to get him going. Is he getting open shots?
