Re: 2019 Recruiting List
From Zimmer's article on all of the commitments:
"With SDSU coming off the best season in program history (they were 11-3 and reached the FCS semifinals in 2017) and getting tight end Dallas Goedert drafted in the second round, there’s a sense that this is a crucial year for recruiting, and Jackson said the staff is learning to be more aggressive in selling themselves. That’s allowed them to be a little more picky and pursue players who want to win, not just land a Division I scholarship.
“One thing this program has always had is humility, and that’s good,” Jackson said. “However, we’ve talked about, not just last year but the last six years, being more aggressive and confident, because we believe so much in what we’re doing here. The expectations of winning has created higher expectations in recruiting, and the kids we’ve brought in feel it. The overwhelming consensus with the kids we’ve signed has been that they want to win. Go down the list and that’s what they’re focused on – winning.”"
Holy ****, YESSS!!! Love this attitude. Let's move from "the nice guys" to having a killer instinct. Don't get me wrong, I love SDSU's football program, but I think it has lacked that aggressiveness that Jackson talked about.
