Davis has an offer on a Sac State decommit, a guard, Josh Baker

Financial aid agreement used to be for maximum one year, maybe still are I don’t know.

Up until this fall, players who sign an NLI also had to sign a one year financial aid offer, They just changed that to eliminate the one year, so conceivably it could be shorter or longer beginning this year. Players now have to sign agreements listing everything they are being offered; financial aid, NIL money, loaner car etc.
I think the schools obligations don’t extend to four to six years

A liitle hard to navigate to because 247 doesn’t always have menu entries for FCS schools

Seems incomplete as relates to Sac, only 7 guys.. i think they only are listing transfers from west coast schools, i guess they only consider if the source or destination is a major program in the west and Sac isn’t.

Terms devoid of football association exist like mid-major for basketball, and I suppose for soccer as well. Entire conferences don’t have football and are not considered lower in other sports because they aren’t FBS.

Sad to see how the term FCS is applied to all sports at an institution although it is supposed to apply only to football. They periodically change the label but it is now just shorthand for inferior.
“– an FCS soccer team’s budget looks very different than an FBS team’s budget today.“

Things were much clearer before the California State Colleges started calling themselves California State Universities. Sacramento State is a perfectly good college,

I say that as a person who has taken more classes at state colleges than at UC, the two are not the same, although they have been converging with UC dropping SAT requirement.

When top recruits who haven’t played enough to show anything, or former starters find themselves buried in the depth charts choose to leave, all we as fans can do is hope they got a fair evaluation and wish them well.

They liked Williams from the time he returned last year from a multi year recovery from injury.
They started playing Simpson as soon as he recovered from an injury and at a point where he didn’t play in too many games to redshirt.
Apparently they preferred both over Gale. A number of players lost playing time under new management.

I wonder if Gale putting on as much weight as he did after averaging over 40+ yards a catch in 2022 diminished his effectiveness. Lots of spread teams have light tight ends and it seems that there would be a place for that especially with the multiple tight end sets.

Seems likely to be Montgomery as its been there for the last seven years.

Manzanares was injured in at Wesleyen and missed a year after some spot playing as a freshman.
At CCSF, which he attended for one year, he was behind a player, Kristoffer Olugbode who averaged 141 yards a game for CCSF. Olugbode didn’t do much at his next stop, Idaho.

Langley has been here four years, but only played in one game as a freshman.
Cotton played three years, nine games as a true freshman, no redshirt year.
But both listed as juniors, one based on eligibility, the other by academic year. They don’t have a standard method for the roster.

Seems concentrated in the defensive backfield, not random

The roster and scholarship limits are unchanged for FCS, so what is their for the Big Sky to opt into?
I think the FBS expanding their FB scholarships to 105 is motivated by a desire to suppress competition by allowing major colleges room to raid lesser programs rosters, but there is nothing a FCS conference can do about it, unless all the teams want to pay 5 million apiece and join FBS.

Our defense had 7 all conference players, and none of them were the cornerback that transfered to a P4 team, or the two guys who played ahead of him,.
Did our defense underperform our talent?

He isn’t saying that.. He is saying that the UC Davis site is wrong in callling him a red shirt junior. Meyer played ten or more games in each of his 3 seasons at Cal Poly. Then he played here. That is four solid post covid years, 21,22,23,24. He was at Cal Poly in 2020 also and Cal Poly called that his redshirt year, which makes no sense as it was a free year for everyone,

Rex isn’t graduating., at least in terms of eligibility.

New CB coach moved players around, Verner and McWilliams starting late season games, Bains consistently started at Nickel.
Cotton was a reserve last half of season but played quite a bit
Last years starter Alexander seldom played until end of season.
