You need a Head Coach that has a close relationship with all the High School/JC Football Coaches in Northern California. Angus McClure has this far more than any coach in college football today.
Northern California has become a "hotbed" for college football talent and Sacramento State is not capitalizing on this great opportunity.
This past spring, Angus gave two full rides, to two kids, from American River College. One was a sophomore and the other a freshman. A third AR kid is a walk on at UCLA.
None of these kids were ever contacted by Sac State.
There are kids in the PAC12 right now that will not see a down on a Saturday and want to move down to the Division 1 AA level and make an impact right away... Angus knows who these kids are.
Who do you think sent McLeod Bethel Thompson to Sac State from UCLA?
The program will thrive with Coach Angus, plus it is a great story... 5 year Hornet Alum, who coached at Sac State, Nevada, Nebraska, Buffalo and 10 years at UCLA, comes home to right size the ship.
You need a face to the program.
That is what sells a program to these High School kids.
Angus is that face to the Hornet program.
