He hasn't been hired yet, but he had some fun offensive schemes while here.

Well with Dan stepping down I wouldn't be surprised to see more enter. We'll also have to see what this does to our recruiting class with the first signing date less than a month away.

Wow didn't see that coming at all

from what I can see he just re-tweeted Kyle Hill's commitment to Davis. It looks like at one point in time he was committed to Minot State, but his profile now says College of the Desert. The odd thing is that he shows up on neither of their rosters.

Drake almost had the Bison today... Another 15 minutes and they surely would have turned it around.

In all seriousness though it is frustrating that the Pioneer gets an auto bid when they are so clearly not at a competitive level with the rest of the playoff teams.

We recruited WR to a much larger extent last year when compared to this year so hopefully we get some guys from that group that pan out as contributors going forward.

3 star OLB Kyle Hill has committed to UC Davis! That's our 3rd 3 star LB commit! GO AGS!

New offer on ATH CJ Millican from right on our doorstep Davis, CA! GO AGS!

With the season over I hope the coaching staff is starting to get out on the recruiting trail once again especially since the early signing period (which has become the main signing period) starts in just about a month!

Your point is valid though. I'm very glad he's not a freshman!

Bennett was a junior this season. Conklin was their true freshman QB that played in the 1st half.

That's why I mentioned in my first response that I think the passing game as a whole needs to be looked at and reassessed; coaches to scheme to players... It's not just on Miles, but when you're the QB the offense runs through you.

Everything you said is fair and I've tried my best to make it clear that my gripes this season aren't meant to be a personal attack on anyone. At the end of the day these are kids and they are doing the best that they can.

We kinda did that already with Lan running the wildcat down the stretch of the season. It worked because Lan is a stud, but I would rather just have a QB who has a more complete skill set AND have Lan on the field.

With Trent Tompkins switching from QB to general athlete and Mitchell Dixon from QB to TE our QB options are actually fairly limited for the time being.

On roster:
- David Rasor
- Michael Ingrassia
- Miles Hastings
- Grant Harper

Committed, but not signed yet:
- Damon Wrighster

What I find interesting is that Dan and company put out an offer on another QB Caden Pinnick after Wrighster had already committed. Wonder if we're going to get a multiple QB recruiting class. I guess it's also possible we could look at the JUCO route if the staff really wants multiple QBs coming in.

Now I don't have statistics on pressure rates or anything like that, but in terms of the OL Davis was actually tied for allowing the least sacks in the conference.

It's pretty notable that Miles was statistically worse across the board in 2023, but the question remains of how much of it is on Miles vs on the OC, QB coaching, and the receivers. If we had that 2022 stat line in 2023 I would say we win 1 potentially 2 more games.

Like I said, all I know is what I heard. Who knows if even that is true, but it was heard from individuals pretty connected to the program so I don't really have reason to not believe it.

Well If that is the case that is a huge loss. Buchanan has been the definition of consistent in the middle of the field.

But does he had another year of eligibility? Could he join a grad program is what I'm saying? COVID made things weird with eligibility.

I couldn't tell you that though I'm sure it's a combination of multiple things including play calling/scheme, lack of receivers getting open, and how Miles was reading the field post snap.

Stopping Larison was a tall order for defenses this season, but I agree with your sentiment that we needed a true #1 receiver to compliment the run game. Gbatu had some flashes, but we haven't had a true #1 receiver performance since Khris Vaughn in 2019 when he had 756 yards and 9 TDs. Very limited receiver identity since.
