Dad ran track at Riverside?

Was MM the best athlete on campus?

D2? Ridiculous analogy.

Yes. It turns out he has an older brother at Tufts (Econ), who is now a WR at USC. What an outstanding pair.

It gets better. He majored in Biopsychology for the Jumbos.

Baffling. Maxed out AP classes in HS, summer school credits, then who knows. Seems light at 175.

28 tackles last year, and six Interceptions for DIII Tufts.

I hope Sac has good legal reprentation.

Sac is breaking the mold, should cause Title IX problems.

I guess some folks here will need a drink or something as Coach Plough will play two QBs...

Height (length) is an important metric in basketball. Ham once developed a raw thin former soccer player who never played a year of HS hoops. The player was 6'10" and had modest success.



He has had one system for three decades. He has shown an inability to incorporate most big men into his system. My compadres say the MW will expose this flaw even more.

Steinburg coached here and I'm told he was a fabulous recruiter. We've had other coaches who were top recruiters.

[Football gets recruits, good recruits, and they win. However, they also play against basically minor league college football teams. Basketball doesn't play in a minor league classification-...]

Football plays in a tough FCS division which sends guys to The Show every year. Hoops plays a mid major schedule.

It stands, football and women's basketball recruit well, and have minimal player turnover.

Rocko has a marketing team that dropped the ball in our football playoff run. Three or four professionals couldn't give away 1,000 free playoff tickets. They should have given away 4,000.

I'm not calling for his head, but he's obviously not a guru with a roughly. 500 career record. Something needs to change.

Unneeded and costly. Hire a top assistant who can recruit.

Lots of words to unpack there.

[The players are good. Other teams have good players too, ...]

Our good players are 6'2" and 6"4". Their good players are 6'2", 6'5", 6'8" and 6'10".

[Athletically there are more limits. Could another coach take the same players and turn them into a national powerhouse. No, because the players aren't THAT good.]

Who's our ace recruiter? Les recruits and plays guards.

[The best recruiter in the world couldn't convince a lot of the best players to come to Davis because they don't want to be in a place like Davis.]

False. I'm told Bobby Steinberg was terrific. Football gets recruits, so does Jen Gross. We don't need 'a lot', we need 2-3 key recruits. We're not Bako, we have a GREAT campus and town. Try recruiting at UOP or Eastern Washington. Key signings from bright SA who want a UC degree and a post career like Payne or Parenteau. Look at the success of UCSD.

[A different coach might help them get a slightly closer look at it, but not significantly. I would say if Les were doing a horrible job or mistreating the players that would be one thing.]

Momentum helps. You only need 2-3 key recruits, and role players. Start winning, getting 4-6,000 in the house, momentum builds. Football and women's basketball don't have the same turnover.

If either Sac coach succeeds, they bounce.

What does their current graduation rate look like for MBB and FB?

We have a lot more open slots than that.

Last night on 102.5 FM, the host or DJ went on for two minutes about Sac State sports. I was scanning for KBLX, don't typically listen to this station.

How many of these kids will stick for more than one year?

200K????

No matter how that works (or doesn't), it sets the expectations. That's a chunk of the NCAA now.

Sac State vs Fresno State football = ...

11.5 PPG, 4.9 RPG, 55 assists.

6'2" / 6'3" combo guard.
