Idk, man. I feel like this is really underselling Ott. He's pushing to be one of the top RBs taken in the next draft. This is from a scouting report on him...

"Ott has been the engine of California’s offense throughout his first two seasons of college football. Among Power Five running backs since 2022, he’s ninth in rushing yards (2,201), seventh in yards after contact (1,394), fifth in forced missed tackles (108) and sixth in receiving yards (517). Ott gets up to top speed quickly at 6 feet and 200 pounds. His 160 plays where he hit at least 15 miles per hour since 2022 rank third among FBS running backs."

I think what's more likely is Cal limits him if they get up early to avoid risk of injury.

I loved Hawk as HC, but I absolutely hated the "player A OR player B OR player C" thing he did with the depth chart. What's the point of even putting a depth chart together if it's not a... well... depth chart?

Great episode, guys! Made sure to leave a 5 star review on Spotify for you! :up:

Looking forward to all of the content coming! GO AGS!

Larison named Big Sky Conference Preseason Offensive MVP

Not that this is most important thing either, but the photos of the players on the roster are a mish mash of like 3 seasons worth of pics. Can they not take new roster pictures every year? Like I said, not critical, but just kind of low effort and tacky.

Looking forward to it! :up:

Camp opens July 30 with first practice July 31. Open to fans.

You guys could always give us your top 5 or 10 Aggie moments, memories, games, etc. Either during your playing days or all time. Once you guys get things up and running it might be cool to do some collaboration with the guys doing podcasts from some of the other Big Sky schools. These guys from Idaho pop around the forum during game week we when play UI

Off season topics:
Season preview
Positional previews

I think the big question a lot of us had over the last season was "what the heck happened to the offense?" Outside of Lan, the offensive production was not spectucular. Now Plough has touted the return to shredville, but do we have the guys to make that happen?

You'll get a listen from me! Couldn't agree more that the Aggies need more entertainment/media presence!

Awesome! Where are you guys going to be posting your podcast?

It's unfortunate that game impacted him to the degree that he felt he needed to step down. That being said, I'm glad that we have a coach in place who won't have qualms about going against another conference coach.

Yeah, I wasn't surprised at all by this. Now I don't personally know Hawk, but everything we've every heard from him is that family is before everything else. I think the "Hawkins Bowl" last season was likely tough for him.

I think MH will be the guy again this season. They've been using him in promotional material online and if I had to guess the rest of team would back Miles as the guy for this season.

In terms of receivers, I just went back and looked through the stats since our last season with Doss and we really haven't had anything close to a go to guy at WR. KD had 1338 yards and 9 TDs in 2018, then a sharp drop off in production with the next closest guy being Khris Vaughn in 2019 with 756 yards and 9 TDs. It coincides with Maier graduating.

The additional commitment is official now! 3 star DB, Albert Richardson, commits to the Ags!

I've seen a report of an additional commitment, though said player has not announced anything on social media yet.

3 star WR Owen Scott commits to UC Davis! GO AGS!

This class is shaping up to be all QBs and WRs

I haven't seen a timed speed anywhere, but he put up gaudy numbers as a junior; 137 tackles, 20 TFLs, 6 sacks in 12 games. I don't think pure foot speed is the most important trait in a LB, but it looks like he has a nose for tackling the guy with the ball which is certainly important.

3 star LB Christian Knoos commits to the Aggies! Had 10+ offers! GO AGS!
