Looks like the Aztecs are really hitting it hard in Texas this year, much more than past years. Even Fresno St. Is working Texas, 7 of their 11 commits are from Texas.

Ruben- When will you know which current scholarship kids from last season have not returned for Spring practice?

SDSU just announced the eight midyear transfers.

ON SCHOLARSHIP
[/B]
-QB Maxwell Smith (Kentucky)

-P Tanner Blain (Kentucky/El Camino College)

-OL Ryan Pope (Long Beach CC)

Walk ons

-OL Ryan Krum (UAB). I'm sure you guys know this but UAB shut down it's football program, putting Krum in a tough spot. He went to Grossmont CC.

-DL Sean O'Grady (Arizona State). Four years at ASU but almost no playing time. Was offered by SDSU in high school and went to Rancho Santa Margarita.

-K/P Jon Weilbacher (Washington State). Crespi alum that didn't play at WSU.

-WR Curtis Anderson (Antelope Valley CC). Film.

-QB Adam Wood (Diablo Valley CC). Posted about him yesterday.

Rivals.com will be down tonight from 11 pm to 3 am, in case any of you happen to log on during those times and can't gain access. All I can say for now is that the planned outage is to improve many functions of this site - like making sure the network doesn't go down during national signing day like it did last year - along with adding new features to the Rivals site structure that many of you will enjoy seeing. I know I am.

Are they going to try and redshirt him?

Weird that he hasn't played at all since a certain point in the season.

Just wondering what's up there.

What does it tell us. First about how may more commits do you think we can take? At thsi point what are the priorities? and finally wheat is your wish list for who is left?

San Diego State has offered recent BYU decommit, cornerback Dayan Lake.

Film.

Just sent over his senior highlights. He was all-league this season.

Hinted at an announcement happening earlier this week and SDSU sent out a press release while I was out and about with a dead cell phone. I didn't know USA was the choice but I knew it would be a school basically right around Northern Arizona's level.

As for the other out of conference game, that's still far from being determined. I don't think the school is sure whether or not they'll wait for a P5-school and a big pay check or just get it over with by adding another lower level school and easy win to at least guarantee a minimum of 2-2 heading into conference play - which should be a schedule very favorable for the Aztecs.

Here's the full release.


"The San Diego State football team and South Alabama have agreed to a home-and-home series beginning this season, the two schools announced Wednesday.

The Aztecs will first play host to the Jaguars on Sept. 19. SDSU will then take on USA on Oct. 1, 2016 in Mobile, Ala.
The two teams have never met.

South Alabama is coming off a 6-7 season, which culminated in a 33-28 loss to Bowling Green in the Raycom Media Camellia Bowl in Montgomery, Ala., on Dec. 20. The Jaguars finished 5-3 in the Sun Belt Conference, which was good enough for a three-way tie for fourth place.

San Diego State's 2015 slate now includes six games against teams that made a bowl game last year, including non-conference games vs. USA on Sept. 19 and at Penn State on Sept. 26. The Aztecs also play Pac-12 member California in Berkeley on Sept. 12 and will add at least one more non-conference game at a later date.

SDSU is also scheduled to play home Mountain West games vs. Fresno State, Nevada, Utah State and Wyoming, and road league contests at Colorado State, Hawai`i, San José State and UNLV. FS, Nevada, USU and CSU also made bowl games last year. Dates and times for the MW games will be announced at a later date.

San Diego State, which is one of 27 schools to play in a bowl game each of the last five seasons and one of just three from the "Group of 5" conferences, finished 2014 with a 7-6 record and 5-3 in MW play."

Ruben,

When will the schedule be finalize? I remember a few weeks back, you mentioned that the missing OOC game for the season was in the process of being finalized. Any developments?

Rodrigo Sanchez has picked up some big Preferred Walk On Offers from Arizona State and San Diego State.

Darn,well lets hustle a l;ast minute steal from somebody.

Just wanted to call out one safety that may be in play, whether its a backup option or preferred walk-on here... Mission Viejo high's Julian Owens. Owens had 88 tackles, 9 pass breakups and at least 3 INT's, which was good enough for him to be named West Valley League defensive MVP.

Coach Cooper's hiring has been officially announced by the school.

Something must be in the air in Colorado.

Aztecs with 15 points in 4 1/2 minutes. Lead AF 15-6 early on. Each starter has scored.

I'm told that there have been three moves made on the coaching staff. That's all I can say for now. Will update this thread as I gather more info. Please keep everything in this thread.

Ruben, hear anything on Agustus Hawkins High DE/LB Brandon Turner? Looks like Coach Lewis visited him today.

Perris (Calif.) Citrus Hill three-star DB Mike Bell sneakily visited Fresno State this past weekend but I'm told there's nothing to worry about. He's all San Diego State and will be in for official visit this weekend.

Ruben, know anything about Arizona DL Michael Peoples? Scout has him as an early enrollee and says he might have visited this past weekend and offered. I'd expect him to make a quick decision as classes start Tues.

Just curious to see how others feel in here about perhaps starting Angelo Chol over Skylar Spencer to start the game. I'm a HUGE fan of both players, I think at this point in the season both players will be splitting minutes equally (or close to it) from here on out. The minutes played by both players since the start of conference play indicates this will be the case. I think by starting Angelo Chol to begin the game gives us the best chance to score early and not have to fight back from awful offensive play at the start of the game. With more points being scored by the first unit there would be less pressure on the second unit to try and make up some ground, I think Skylar would fit perfectly into that role coming off the bench. He would be needed more on the defensive end to help protect leads instead of trying to create leads to start the game (which hasn't worked at all so far this season).

I understand that not all of the scoring woes to start the game are all Skylar's fault, but I think that Angelo Chol's 60% FGP will benefit the team more to start the game than Skylar's 49%. Coach Fisher and staff have proven that they will make adjustments in the starting rotation to help boost our offense to start games, I think they might (if they haven't already) consider making this switch sooner rather than later.

*Disclaimer* This is just a hypothetical question, by no means am I being over critical of Skylar, I still think he's a very much needed presence in the paint. I'm just wondering if anyone else might agree with my train of thought, of course I welcome those that differ with my opinion and would like to hear from you as well.

Announced top three of San Diego State, SMU and BYU.

Love his film. Should be the No. 1 RB target on the board.

UNLV immediately goes to a zone and Quinn knocks down a jumper. 2-0.

Shrigley once again gets the starting nod.
