You’re right, not listed. The one I could care less about, but I was hoping for the kicker. Could be any of those reasons you stated.BuckeyeHornetFan said:

I don’t recall reading about this kid before, sounds like a nice pickup.HornetHope said:
The defense also added a midseason linebacker with Taylor Powell coming to the team as a graduate transfer. Powell played at Northern Arizona under current Hornet defensive coordinator Andy Thompson. Powell earned all-Big Sky honors with the Lumberjacks and started the 2018 season with 17 tackles in the first two games before having his year cut short by injury. He did not play in 2019.

Wow what a class. On paper, probably the best ever. Hats off to Taylor and his staff for landing such a noteworthy class top to bottom. :clap:
I'm really glad he landed the QB out of HS. Taylor has 5 years to groom this guy into his system. Looking forward to it. :nod:

You sure about that, SD? I mean, CAL or some other FBS program is going to steal Taylor away really soon, remember?
Or perhaps the Hornets will be FBS before that happens, as one unnamed source keeps telling everyone.

Yeah, I believe he escaped my attention too. I was pretty up on all the mid-season enrollees and December offers/signings a couple months ago too. I don't recall seeing news that he had been added. Admittedly, I kinda tuned out from December 23rd through about a week ago or so.
I just went back in the thread to look at the full list of adds posted on the Hornetsports website after the DEC. signing period. Of the following list of mid-year enrollees, only Donny Long and Carter Sullivan were listed.
Cuomo, Machado, Macias, and Powell are ALL news to me.
MID-YEAR ENROLLEES
Name Pos. Ht. Wt. Hometown/Previous School
Valerio Cuomo RB 5-9 200 Bergamo, Italy/Butte JC
Donny Long OL 6-3 285 Norco, Calif./Riverside JC
Jayden Machado QB 6-1 204 Elk Grove, Calif./Sacramento City JC
Javion Macias LB 6-1 215 Salinas, Calif./Fresno City JC
Taylor Powell LB 6-1 240 Tucson, Ariz./Northern Arizona
Carter Sullivan DL 6-3 240 Sacramento, Calif./Antelope HS
I was hoping to see one as well. I know we offered a few different guys, hopefully one of them will still come aboard. Right now we only have one kicker on the roster, we need at LEAST one more! Not only to push and compete with the one we have but in case of an injury. We certainly don't want something to happen to our only leg and have to have the staff ask "OK, anyone here ever kicked before?"Sac_hornets said:

I’m not sure what was offered to this kid, but he is 100% committed to Sac State. Appears to be a TE/DE. 48 catches, 834 yards, 10 touchdowns, unanimous first team all-WYL.

Hey Buckeye, has Sac State ever grabbed a kid from the FBS through the transfer portal?
I hope we see some of Johnny Guzman this year, he was so much fun to watch at Del Oro. Reminds me of Marshal Faulk type, can catch, run, return kickoffs.

Right, yeah, I figured out what you meant. So I started to look into it to see if I could figure it out. But alas, I'm no closer to it than you are.
I thought perhaps Schalde was just a very early 2021 commit. But upon discovering that he's a SR., I had no answer.
He's not been added to the official signing release on the hornetsports website nor the updated Spring roster. Of course none of the incoming true freshman are listed on the roster, only the mid-year transfers. And Daniel Fortune, as you mentioned on the previous page of the thread.
In short, your guess is as good as mine as to whether he got a partial, full, or is a PWO.

Not that I'm aware of.
I'm with you re: Guzman. I actually thought there was a chance for him on the active roster last season as the kick returner. He was nicknamed 'Rocket' for good reason. Perhaps we'll see him there this season.

He's on the Spring roster, as you mentioned. But he's listed as a DB, not RB.

Great class coming to campus
All part of a class that will be coming to a program that finished in the final FCS poll that I saw on line as number 8 in the country.
Weber finished number 3, Montana State number 4 and Montana number 9.
No other Big Sky schools in the top 25.

From what I can tell, our Hornets had a more impressive recruiting class than any of those fellow Big Sky teams. UCD did well too though.

MSU did very well, they grabbed a few kids from cal that Sac had on their list. They say EWU did well too, but they mostly in their area. Weber hasn’t done much and I don’t think Montana got rated that high. I’ve seen them also give NAU some props on their class.BuckeyeHornetFan said:

Just an aside. I realize many kids want to go away to school. Get away from home. That's why Sac State gets so many kids from SoCal.
But just speaking from my own POV, I've never understood why any kid from Cali or really any nicer weather and more cultured location would ever seriously consider choosing Montana or North Dakota or South Dakota or Wyoming -- unless that was their only option for a scholarship / paid education.
Back during my recruitment days, there's no chance I would have ever considered any of those locations over CA, NV, WA, OR, ID, FLA, TX, AZ, GA, OH, etc. No chance. I would have had to have been completely out of other options. Nobody I know would have considered it either, with other options available.
Let's be real. The greater North-Mid-West isn't bustling with many options or things to do or good weather (did I already mention that? lol). And none of those schools are Harvard, Yale, MIT, Duke or Stanford-like.
With regard to North Dakota State, I always joke with my wife that they must be paying players with hookers and blow to get them to go there. Cause that program somehow attracts top level athletes that could otherwise attend some notable FBS programs.
And I often wonder how that all started? Because, well, it's freaking Fargo, North Dakota. Not a location 90% of young folks would just love to be for 4+ years. Especially when other options exist.
Again, everyone deserves the right to choose where they want to go. No issues there. All I'm saying is I often question how a location that's clearly not as desired as many, many others and that isn't Harvard or Stanford-like was able to attract enough top level student-athletes to get to the point that they are now.
Just one of the many things that make me go 'HMM".

NDSU was this good in the 80's. Its a dedication by the administration to be the only 'Thing' in the entire state. Except for UND hockey, which is good at what they do.

Anyone else wonder what it would have been like to have the recruiting experience of today’s generation?
It was a lot of work back in the day to have a coach or parent compile a damn VHS of your highlights and send it around to get your name out. I feel like pretty much all of my “letters” came from schools that just got a hold of the paper roster or playoff programs and sent letters based on size and position. I had no clue what to do when I got letters from a few CA/OR DIIIs. Though I do still have my letter offering a partial Academic/Athletic schollie from Grambling State.
Listen to me, I sound like SuperHornet.
