Hawkins doesn’t want to remember the 2006 Montana State team.

Evan Bearden is a DT in the depth chart, and a TE on the roster..
Both the Connor brothers made it onto the depth chart.
Jaylin White not on the depth chart except as a returner?? He started 8 games last season.

What explains the lack of information on the ucdavisaggies.com site?
Complacency because they drew well last year? That was a result of starting 8-1.
Equity because they don’t want the team to outshine women's field hockey? Likely.
I notice sac state has a series of position previews, proving team promotion is possible.

Even if it a four deep at least it might have some new names
I’ve said this before but the guys who were true freshmen last year really didn’t get on the field. So we’ve got two classes of recruits we haven’t seen.

Thanks, that impressive. But what is missing is the information on the

https://ucdavisaggies.com/sports/football/roster/nick-eaton/13466

Bios not updated to show fall 2021, and in the stats tab it doesn’t show the stats for that year.
If you select 2021 on the stats tab, it eventually populates, but it doesn’t show 2021 in career statistics.
That’s a really nice feature of the roster, as you can see how players did in various years and even games. But it’s broken.

But Vaughn didn’t start last year.

Depends how you count.
We lost these guys who started games for us last year:
Perryman, Duncan, Scharteg, Rodgers, Nixon, Lamson, Rodrigues, Harrell

On the other hand we lost five guys who started almost every game,(Lamson missed a couple games due to injury)
Harrell, Lamson, Perryman, Duncan, Rodgers.
But you could say we return 17 18 starters if you count the guy who filled in for Lamson I suppose.. Rachow, but that was due to injury.

Along the lines of missing information, they still haven’t updated the statistics tab in the roster to show 2021 stats. It seems they’re waiting until the last moment to do something that they had 9 months to accomplish. Or they haven’t noticed.

Then Davis is the perfect team for you to follow because there is next to nothing said about the team. I remember a story prior to a previous Cal game where a writer, I think from the Daily Californian said he couldn’t find any information about the team. And now there is less.

Here is a video interview of defensive coordinator Matt Coombs brief comments about defensive players
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ADecljRZX8
Players mentioned in more than passing, shows who’s on his mind.:
DL Chubba Maae, Zach Kennedy,
Inside Linebacker Teddye Buchanan, Cole Hanson, Smalley, Mouisset, Evan Tattersall
Outside Linebacker Cam Trimble, Nick Eaton, Jackson Cloyd, Cade Peacock
Safety Chris Venable and a bunch of guys
Corner Jehiel Budgett, Devon King

We just need a guy to be the deep threat. Overall, we have a lot of targets in Castles, Gilliam, Hutton, Babb, and the other candidates. The deep threat doesn’t need to be our number one receiver. I’m optimistic about the receivers.
We need depth on the offensive line. We really struggled when we had a couple of injuries. Remember the Cal Poly game when we couldn’t block that little guy?
On defense Rogers is the big loss because he could put pressure from the middle. Suani was improved in that regard at his lower weight, but he doesn’t have the reach. (I see we added a JC transfer who was a three star in high school Uilisoni Amone).
You have to like our depth at DB and Linebacker. Big decisions for the coaches how to use that.

Burke won a national championship at Mount Union and then won the Gagliardi Trophy twice (D3 MVP) the next two years.

I don’t think the conference ranking reflects our schedule so much as we finished fifth last year and there is no clear reason to think we’re improved. It is a conference ranking, so if anything were probably helped by the schedule as we don’t play Montana or Eastern Washington.

No, he spent a year there between seasons at CCSF in 2019.. By a year I mean he went through spring and fall camp but left the Cal team during the season.

Newman is probably the most ready guy since he played two full seasons and has gone through a camp at Cal and with us.
and would likely do a good job. I don’t know if he has the highest upside. So, I’m thankful he’s in the roster but if someone beats him out so much the better.

Impressive athletic resume. Now we have three new coaches who have QB coach on their resume.

We have two new assistant coaches on offense this year, with impressive resumes, so I’m sure there will be no shortage of ideas.

Any word or idea of his replacement?

Quite fast for football, not so fast for track, He was fifth in the dual meet.
Hershel Walker 10.23, OJ Simpson 10.3 100 meters. Bob Hayes was an Olympic gold medalist and world record holder and made it into the NFL hall of fame ran 10.06 in the Olympic final. Now record is 9.58 and it’s been that since 2009.
At this level if a guy runs under 11 seconds and has some size it’s good.

Christian Calhoun ran track this year, competing in the 100. He ran a wind assisted 10.91. He is a safety on the roster. Darien Langley also a DB on the spring roster is a speedster.
The guys in this class didn’t get on the field, but I think that’s due to the COVID extra year seniors. The recruits from this class are all on the spring roster.
