Sac State is killing it in the portal right now though. Marion is going to have them reloaded with talent immediately. It's just a matter of implementing his plan which is a coin flip if it works in year 1.

I think just going after USC kids is easier said that done in the NIL era. Even benchwarmers at some of the big name universities are looking to get a big pay day. For some it will happen, for others it won't.

Dang... 6'6 transfer WR Cameron Barmore commits to University of Arizona

Sac also brought in a QB from Tulsa. It'll be interesting to see if Marion rolls with Conklin or the FBS transfer.

No incoming transfers that I have been to find, but the handful of offers that are on the recruiting thread. I'm sure that we'll see some incoming guys. We have plenty of holes to fill on offense.

I think it's especially going to have to be part of the playbook this upcoming season purely based on our sustained losses to the offense. We're losing the production of Larison, Hutton, Davis, Tompkins, Williams, etc. I don't think we'll just magically replace that level of production so some yards are going to HAVE to come on the ground from the QB. Miles could do some rollouts, but utilizing his feet was pretty much the weakest aspect of his game.

After watching both games yesterday, I think MSU wins it. Better the Big Sky than one of the Dakotas I guess.

New offer on All-American Tufts University DB Ty Richardson! GO AGS!

New offer on 3 star WR transfer from University of Arizona, Jackson Holman! GO AGS! That makes 2 WR transfer offers who are 6'3 or taller.

Marion has a very unique offense that was effective at UNLV this last season. The Go-Go offense is almost like a triple option offense, but one that's not terrified to throw the ball. It'll be interesting to see how quickly he can get it up and running at Sac. I think this is a good hire for the Hornets, BUT he's done nothing but move up the coaching ladder and has never stayed in 1 singular coaching position longer than 2 seasons so if he finds quick success it'll be interesting to see how long he sticks around.

Honest question. How attractive is the Sac job right now, actually? The whole Sac12 thing seems shady at best and they just had a monumental drop off from 2 seasons ago.

The show and dance is getting a little stale IMHO

There's a guy over on the Sac forum saying that Marion is NOT the guy now.

We definitely need the punting help. The aforementioned Chris Sailer has Hughes ranked as his 11th best punter prospect in the country.

New offer on kicker/punter Tyler Hughes out of Poway! Chris Sailer has him ranked a 5 star punter (FBS level) and 4.5 star kicker (FCS level). GO AGS!

4 Aggie All-Americans!

New offer on University of Arizona DL transfer Nicholas Fernandez. He was a RFr this last season, big boy 6'4 300, from San Pedro.

I will say that Plough probably left some guys longer than I probably would have in order to do a little bit of running up the score after we got screwed out of the playoffs the previous year. We learned that we have to give ourselves every advantage in the committee's eyes by experience and if that means letting our starters beat the hell out of Northern Colorado... so be it.

He's also the developer of the "go-go offense" which looks like a triple option spread combo from what I can tell.

It would be a good hire for Sac. Young and inventive offensive mind. UNLV had a pretty solid offense this last season. That being said, without significant ties to Sac State you have to imagine that it's a stepping stone if he's successful. That is why I like having a HC with significant toes to the university.

I'm all for them taking a break! It'd just be brutal to have to wait until next preseason for another episode!
