He is not choosing Cal, not with the system in place here. Daniels is a dynamic RPO dude, and he would be coming to place where the head coach has a conservative, run-first sit on a lead mentality. When you add in questions along the offensive line and a bunch of unproven receivers, it points to him going somewhere else.
Washington State with De Lara leaving or UCLA seem like the more likely candidates, although he would have to beat out DTR for immediate playing time at UCLA. Not likely.
He's not coming to Cal...probably not UCLA either with Martyn there. But the word is out on Cal's struggles and conservative scheme....players with NFL aspirations don't want to play for Wilcox.
I actually think Plummer is a better pure passer and could be efficient in Musgrave's system.
Not sure what to expect here. You always want to add talent and especially in the QB room. Daniels is certainly a hell of a talent. But, can he learn Musgrave's system over Spring and Fall well enough to execute it efficiently? If he came to CAL it might be disappointing to Plummer, but I don't think it would push any of our younger guys into the Transfer Portal because of his limited eligibility and his desire to turn pro. I like him but I just don't think he's a great fit for our system. In the end, coaches recruit talent who can flourish in their system's. He would be a good fit at Oregon and at Auburn.
Here's more ASU Transfer Portal news. Jayden Daniels is obviously leaving, and, another ASU QB entered the portal, Nathan Manning. ASU really screwed things up with the recruiting violations. I don't understand why all the assistants are getting bounced but why Herm can stay. He knew all about it. In any event, it sounds like they are going to lose a bunch of schollies and bowl eligibility. With new assistants and less scholly players and no bowl appearances, it's easy to understand why some of their kids are moving on to greener pastures. https://247sports.com/Season/2022-Football/TransferPortal/?institutionkey=24088
Welp, per another site, Cal has distributed its full allotment of schollies. So. it would take a player or two to retire (medical or other), transfer, or quit for Cal to have a schollie to give. Perhaps Daniels doesn't want to wait around for that possibility.
Now, if a schollie does become available ~ hell yes offer Daniels!!
Wow! If he did, wouldn't JPlummer then (re)enter the portal himself? If not, I'd bet Kai does. Crazy..... Is there any limit to how many times you can go in/out of the portal? Or is it like the transporter on Star Trek????
Can’t tell if it’s a good thing everyone is realists or if the last 5 yearsish did a number to everyone’s hype. 🤣🤣🤣
Would I take Jayden Daniels? Hmmm, let me think….HELL YES!

Sure we should take him. He possesses a more varied skill set than Plummer and is highly mobile.

All I can say is that something REALLY BAD must be going on at ASU to lead Daniels into the transfer portal. Any ideas what might be going on?
damn this is ruthless

He would clearly be our best QB were he to come but he seems an odd fit with our OC and system. I am skeptical but would be happy were he to come!
