Thank you Cade for being a true Cal Bear. You are the heart and soul of this team. I will come to games just to watch you dominate regardless of our record. Go Bears!

Love Cade! He'll be the veteran anchor on the defense next season. In the age of the portal, it's heartening to see Cade and Jet stay in Berkeley.

He is truly one of a kind. The ILB's are the ones who usually make the tackles on inside and outside (stretch) zone plays. He is so good at analyzing the play and reading his keys that he usually ends up making the tackle or assisting it. He's also very good at dropping into his area of pass defense on zone coverages. I met his family before a couple of games and they are from Utah but they said he wants to ta stay here for academics and football. He's a true BEAR!

Got a photo with Cade at the Big Game when he was in street clothes. I think I surprised him by recognizing him out of uniform (and he had a hat on covering his recognizable hair). Talked to him a bit and he was so genuine. So glad he’s staying. This guy is such an amazing talent!

Agreed! I sat with his parents at the SMU game. They were the same. And hinted strongly that he would stay

He’s a class act. A family guy. I feel the same way about J. Ott

This is fantastic news !!!!! The hope that He stays healthy and gets prepared to plug up the middle. With a pretty new secondary coming in next year He will the focal point of the Defense. One positive step for the Bears.

Still Need a QB .. Maybe Fernando can still Return since He has not committed any place else so far.

Will his teammates accept him back?

That is a good point but I think so. I believe the players all know that sometimes you need to check all your options. Mendoza played his heart out for his stay here in Berkeley. Now that the team has filled in most of their new assistant coaches Mendoza can make up his mind if they are the right fit for him for his future. The key piece is his belief in a new system and Wilcox. I know it is a long shot but, possibly a shot.

I wonder if we are keeping Gilbert or not. We still need to get rid of one more coach.

Love this guy!

His signature moment:

A Joker-like smile at Cam Ward.

Dark Oski is pleased, I don’t doubt.

This is FANTASTIC NEWS!!!! If anything, it shows that players on defense see Cal as an option to get to the NFL. Now if we can start doing the same thing for offense......
