I don't know man.... If you give most people the choice of an FCS Frosh AA and Jalen Rashada, most will pick the 5-star with monumental potential.

As far as the RB room, I assume that will sort itself out. Guys that get injured or aren't engaged won't play, and 2-3 guys will be in the backfield every play. I will not be surprised to see Jamar Curtis playing out of the slot either...

I get it but the flip side is the majority of these guys weren't good enough to play where they were. Not all of them but most of our new players are good based on high school rankings not production at the college level. September will be interesting

The CP 5 star Huard was a bust. So it’s not a slam dunk.
 
I'm not really getting the outrage here. Yeah it sucks Conklin left as I was one of his biggest fans on this board, but this coaching staff didn't recruit him and he isn't a duel threat that Coach Marion wants for his system. Coach Marion is tasked with getting as much FBS talent as possible onto this roster that fits his system. Few, if any, of the skilled position hold overs fits the new scheme. Like it or not this coaching staff has to win now and that means turning over the roster and bringing in guys they believe they can win with.

Yeah, Marion has one good year before he has a great offer.
 
The environment today requires successful programs to move like tech or startups... fast, unforgiving, and always changing. Coaches don’t get years to build anymore. With the portal and NIL, it’s “what can you do right now?” Win quick or get replaced. Long term plans are nice in theory, but agility and winning are they key metrics now.
 
Conklin got a nice mention on Bruce Feldman and Stewart Mandel's podcast The Audible on today's episode.

“And if I may, I'm going to go even a little bit further under the radar. This is a guy that I brought up to Bruce over the weekend at Fresno State, and it is a quarterback actually. They just picked up Carson Conklin, a quarterback from Sacramento State. So you guys knew Jaden Rashada, who was at the Florida, Arizona State, Georgia, this whole saga. He's at Sac State now with Brennan Marion. They took two quarterbacks including Rashada, Tocarta Williams, also from Tulsa. They had a really good quarterback who was already there at Sac State, Carson Conklin, Jerry Rice, award finalist, threw for 2,800 yards, 28 touchdowns, really good year, great arm. I talked to a couple of guys and scouting directors. They said, slide a frame, he's only 180 pounds, so he's kind of thin, but gosh, he can really cut it loose. He can throw a really great ball. Fresno State just picked him up. He just committed this week. So keep an eye. If you watch some late night Mountain West, Carson Conklin, Fresno State, I think could be a lot of fun to watch.”

When he’s not fumbling the ball on a sack leading to two defensive run back TD’s.

In all seriousness, he is a good kid, wish him well, he is strictly a pocket passer though. Not what Marion needs.

Marion would never be considered @ Cal, lol

Coach Marion did well at strong academic schools like William and. Mary, Howard as well. I honestly believe it’ll take SEC type money for him fo leave, as being one of the top 1-3 sports teams in a larger sized media market I’d imagine would be appealing too
