Sac State (New coaches, HS Recruiting, and the Transfer Portal)

[ThunderRam]

Sorry, I decided to make a new, all-encompassing thread, as the other was about Michael Vick who is coaching elsewhere.

Moving along….

In the recent weeks since the announcement of the hiring of Coach Marion, the Hornets have been absolutely destroying it in the transfer portal. They’ve already officially signed at least 14 new transfers with dozens more committed either as HS recruits or portal transfers.

Well, while seemingly risky due to the checkered history, now Coach Marion has secured a commitment from a former 5 star from Alabama and Texas.

I'm excited to see what Sac State does on the field next season—it sounds like they've recruited some great talent.
