Hope you are well Dr. D...CLU looked like they were improving last year as the season went up, any update as to what is coming back? I think UR could sneak up on some folks, if and only if our O line play improves. Second year for our OC in the league etc.

Guy 31,

Mike Maynard is far from a racist, Nothing I hate to see more is someone being painted as one when the other person failed, weak bic.... I agree on honoring Mike for something. My son would have never played his butt off for him if he was racist. Local HS coaches would tell their kids, if you want to go and play small school ball but the team is ran like a D1 team, go to Redlands. I have seen personally Maynard bend over backwards for kids success in life. The school took a huge loss and donations from FB have not been the same.

I agree with next season, I think these camps really help UR's exposure.

10,

Something is going on at UR; they are putting some money into Athletics. I don't know why or if the AD was just cheap. However, I have noticed all teams have better travel schedules, baseball and softball used to never travel due to east coast teams wanting to play in the Sunshine of the I.E. Basketball teams have a Mid-West or East Coast tour, track has better events, etc the list goes on. Our streaming is better, and we have a larger SID department doing a lot more promotional type pieces, updates. The weight room got an athlete only upgrade. Other sports are doing well, UR baseball for down year made a run-in league, track doing well, golf and water polo having moments.
I could go on from AC to other little things.

The only thing I have heard is powers to be have changed and I think they got memo do not want to be another Whittier.

It will always come down to who has the best offensive line in the league, the rest is window dressing, and does not matter much, this is why I think it will be rough for APU and Whittier (LA County Schools).APU's numbers will be the most interesting story.

Yes, the Redlands Defense will be fine, very well coached, sound schemes. Heard some wrinkles coming out too.

Trine tried to attach UR small ball a bit differently, but UR out of the Inland Empire prevailed, congrats to the Girls....job well done.

I don't want to jinx UR, but our all women's softball team is in the NCAA Finals, best of three this week.
If UR wins, this will be the second national championship for the Inland Empire based schools..CMS in men's golf.

Go Dogs ....

Dr D, ...come on man ....I was going to retire on Pat, now I have to keep working...Image if I was the in charge of this Forum...

Take about a free for all...

Quote from: Patrick Coleman on May 18, 2026, 09:15:12 AMI will take Greg's lead on what's the Inland Empire, and, more importantly, who might recruit from there.

It's good to remember that the interview with Coach Parnell at Azusa took place in January.

Well Pat, being I was born and raised in LA County for the last 100 years. Maybe we can have a friendly wager on who is right, Azusa is in LA County Yes or No? How much can you afford to bet?

I listen to both podcast where Pat interviewed the Whittier and APU new head coaches. I am not surprised that Coach White at WC has over 70 players in the program. He is a good recruiter. I was surprised APU was in the low 20's for players at this point, I was expecting north of 40. I do wish Pat would have asked where APU was going play their games at Citrus College (almost stupid expensive to rent) or at there dinky small bleachers on side, high school press box stadium, but Pat did a good job on this interview given the national audience.


I think both schools will struggle for a few years, and it will come down to the same issue I harp on all the time, the best Offensive Line wins league. APU is in a world of hurt right now with just 21 kids. I have been following Whittier on social media, I think I have only seen one linemen publish he was going to WU. What I saw from the tape I doubt he is on UR must have list. I am sure they have a few more, but from what I can see no shortage of QB, RB, and WR. I have a feeling a few may converted.

Pat and Company discussed how successful APU might be, I agree in other sports there will be some juniors and seniors that stick around to complete their degrees, but in football it all comes down the O line. When APU was D2 they landed some pretty good local linemen (only D2 in So Cal), maybe a touch slow or smaller than D1, but the kids could play.
Finding non scholarship O linemen is the toughest chore, given the cost of private school in CA. It will be no different for them, when you can go to Citrus College next door for almost free.
BTW D3 Staff, Azusa is in LA County and not the Inland Empire. The IE is considered Riverside and San Bernardino County.

Quote from: olddog on March 24, 2026, 11:56:18 AMAdvise for APU fans and coaches, take that 1m and go find some linemen. I keep seeing post for back line players going to Whittier and APU...Best O line in the SCIAC wins league. CU, CMS, UR, even CLU and PP will play good defense, but it comes to the O line.

CMS Sports Bowl, they have started and raising funds for naming rights, btw I have seen more renderings and the FB Field will sit in a bowl, now sure how good the views will be.

My sarcastic take apparently is not so sarcastic, apparently there is a start of a movement to pay NIL to D3 players.
The concept that some think is coming, a large donor may commit to paying a couple hundred grand per year to offensive linemen. It will be interesting is the wealthier schools go this route. I have no idea how it would affect them if the players are on financial aid and grants. Stay tuned. 

Good Catch...on the "SCAIC", being I have a mild case of dyslexia, I have no room to tease, but I enjoyed yours. Keep it up....
