Spot on, Mike. Les has a keen eye for underrated, potential talent and, when he gets those players, they usually grow into solid contributors. Sevilla, Tamba and DeBruhl are prime examples on this year's team. Look at Rocak also. Santa Barbara couldn't find a way to use him but Les saw an elite defender and even has him shooting some 3's now. Of course, we have a history of having some of the top guards ever to play in the Big West too and none of them were heavily recruited before they came here yet they grew into elite players. Sometimes I get frustrated and wonder what the heck Les was thinking but I think I just need to shut up...Les is a damn good evaluator of talent and he's an excellent head coach.

Afternoon games in September would just be way too hot. We've even had 100 degree days in early October.

Woodstock's is too small to be the only watch party venue. I think they made a smart move by adding in Sudwerk as well. I sure hope we fill up both places!

Wow...did anyone see this coming? What does everyone think about it? Do you think we were ever considering the WCC as well?

Welcome to our Aggie fan forum, davis20. I hope you'll stick around and join our conversations as we continue to grow.

A blast from the past...

Are you hosting, Toke?

Totally agree...a lot of the other forums get pretty rough and folks mince words when they disagree with something or someone.

Upper division O-chem was the one that did me in! Changed my major to bio-psych after that disaster!

A bunch of Sac State players have entered the portal. Some jumped in right after the Causeway loss and more since Andy Thompson resigned to take a position at Stanford. Troy Taylor quickly built the Sac program largely around transfers and I would expect that, when they hire a new head coach, he'll recruit heavily from the portal hoping to find players who'll make an immediate impact.

Marsalis Roberson, who transferred from Cal, is still listed on the roster but he didn't play last year due to a pre-season injury and has not suited up this year either. I'm not sure what his eligibility status is point.

Haha...but you know the SAC12 Committee is probably telling the PAC12 about how often they sellout their state-of-the-art arena...

It's nothing new; he does it all the time. I've seen him 4 feet inside the court and less than 10 feet away from the action before. He'll continue to do it as long as the Big West officials continue to allow it. Some Big West fans joke about him being the 6th player on the floor for the Gauchos.

Playing in the 70 year old Hornets Nest, which has a capacity of 1012, has got to be difficult and uninspiring for the visiting teams. It has to be one of the worst D1 facilities in all of D1 college basketball if not the worst. Most high schools gyms are just as good or better.

I always think of the old Cal Worthington "My dog Spot" car sales ads whenever someone says Cal Davis.

I haven't seen anything about potential transfers coming in but I always wonder if any Aggies will enter the portal now that there's so much NIL money to being thrown around by the big time programs. It's encouraging that Lan Larison turned down a $400,000 offer from the University of Missouri to stay here for his final year and that TY Johnson turned down a big time offer in basketball to stay in Davis as well. Those two athletes exemplify the very best in Aggie Athletics. It also says a lot about the tight, family culture that the coaches at Davis build for their teams.

Watch out for San Diego this season...they're the real deal.
