True, but remember last year Jake Parks signed late. It’s not a matter of numbers. Hawkins indicates a few weeks back that it might be three or four.

Barbato has great credentials for a walk-on. Probably would be a linebacker since he’s 200lb
Led state in sacks; 55 catches and 107 tackles. Plays basketball too.

interesting that if we go by the list of guys we’ve offered that you maintain on first page of this discussion that Dawson Hursts the first we’ve lost to Cal Poly. If that’s true then we really don’t compete much with them for recruits.

Transfer credit is well defined coming from a JC, the more academic programs have a numbering system that maps to UC equivalents. There are a lot of classes for which one would get credit transferable to a state college but none to a UC. Conversely, there is no list that says these CSU courses map to these UC they would be evaluated individually.
There are entire majors at state colleges that have no uc equivalents. Not necessarily a bad thing but not equivalent so no credit. Or even if they got credit might not fulfill major prerequisites.

hence all the late offers.

Most class units wouldn’t transfer.

Just talking about publicity and support, I’m not sure that if we went FBS and were ranked somewhere around 30 and didn’t win our conference that we’d get as much or more press as winning an FCS national championship, or contending for multiple years.

It would not be easy for us to be a consistent top 30 FBS team, like Boise. If we went FBS we’d likely be more like San Diego State than Boise and that’s being optimistic. I’m not sure we’d get the coverage that San Diego State gets in their local market.

If we can get publicity at the lower level then the same doors would be open.
Winning is the thing that people want to be associated with, not an affiliation. The FCS/FBS thing is overrated; the distinction isn’t binary. There is a gradient of football teams. We have no chance of being a dominant team at the FBS level in the foreseeable future. Why become an FBS afterthought when we can be an FCS contender?

If so, why move up?

An unknown is whether a successful FCS program in California can generate enough interest to make staying in FCS a good choice. Is being a big fish in a small pond a good option? It might be, but not if the media treats it as just like D2.
Hypothetical question; if UCD had NDSU or even EWU type success would UCD get coverage in media and fan interest similar to what we’d get as an occasional contender in the mountain west?

Likely good ball handling skills, since he played QB earlier in career and point guard . Has some presence in the school records on relay teams so he has some speed . Didn’t play football in Junior year to concentrate on basketball may have helped decrease his football offers.

Sean's received a lot of coverage over the years, here is an LA times article from his freshman year
https://www.latimes.com/sports/highschool/la-sp-sean-harlston-sondheimer-20160502-column.html

Will Martin offensive lineman in our list at start of thread is on next year’s roster as a senior. Played in 11 games in 2017 but only one in 2018. So I guess he got a medical redshirt.
Will, plus all the freshmen we recruited in 2017/18 signing class, should provide great depth to a line that loses only one player.
Only one other offensive position where we lost a starter is wide receiver and that will be fascinating to see who grabs playing time there.

So do blueberries from South America. Key is to eat a variety of fresh food in season. Healthy food tastes good.

No wonder some of those guys looked hungry for a burger! Human nature to want what you can’t have.
Good nutrition is not a settled science. I wrote a paper for an upper division nutrition class in the early 70s. I looked at all the research available on the relationship of various saturated fats in the diet and cholesterol. There was no evidence for the “saturated fat” relationship with cholesterol. Yet it was taken as gospel by most people giving nutritional advice. Since then I’ve been more skeptical about claims from second hand experts. What they say the science says ain’t what the science said.

it doesn’t seem Gubrud lost much time to injury in years prior. He was a walk-on in 2014 and redshirted. Held for kicks all year and played one game at QB in 2015, and played 14 games in 2016, 10 games in 2017, (EWU didn’t make playoffs in 2017), and five games in 2018.
A number of postings on an EWU board think the 1/3 of games includes playoffs and 5 is one third of the fifteen they played, but I think “scheduled games” means scheduled games in the regular season. We’ll see. It seems the precedent would be that anyone injured in first third of a season would get a bonus year; his situation is far from rare. Maybe that policy is fine but I don’t think so.

Pretty big precedent if they consider someone who played in five games as not having had an opportunity to play.

It seems the answer is that he doesn’t qualify because he wasn’t the victim of loss of opportunity for two or more years

“
It comes from rule 30.2

A waiver of the five-year period of eligibility is designed to provide a student-athlete with the opportunity to participate in four seasons of intercollegiate competition within a five-year period. This waiver may be granted, based upon objective evidence, for reasons that are beyond the control of the student athlete or the institution, which deprive the student-athlete of the opportunity to participate for more than one season in his/her sport within the five-year period.”
The 30% rule applies to scheduled games for redshirts so it doesn’t factor, as he already used his redshirt year, and if he hadn’t he wouldn’t qualify anyway as five games are in excess of 30% of the scheduled games. I’m assuming his redshirt freshman year wasn’t beyond his and the teams control.

Weber making the list is a head scratcher: “Defensively, the Wildcats lose six First Team All-Big Sky players”. I would think they have to fall off defensively due to that,
So they’re a top ten pick, even with the acknowledgement “Jake Constantine is back at quarterback after an up-and-down season in his first year as a starter.” Kind of a reach.

Pretty hard for Moe to get these awards when at start of season he is not as a featured guy in his own teams public relations, and splits a lot of time with other players and hence doesn’t rack up the high defensive statistics. It’s not right but it’s predictable.
