I think Wilcox played his cards VERY well. And I'm hoping some of his conditions were for long-needed administrative reforms and support. Agree, staying with Wilcox and investing in his success was our best option.
Sonny taking TCU to the national championship further emphasizes that it's Cal, hi, we're the problem it's Cal.

Sonny has definitely developed as a HC, but he certainly inherited a talent-laden team from Gary Patterson, who had admittedly stagnated in Ft. Worth. But 8 NFL draft picks off that roster, the vast majority of whom were the result of GP.
Gabe King. Really nice guy. Top half draft type of athleticism, but had other interests in life.
Other 4 star guys that never hit their potential at Cal that Dykes inherited: Brennan Scarlett, Stefan McClure, Cedric Dozier, Todd Barr, Moala, Crosthwaite, Myles Bunte, Aaron Cochran, Christian Okafaor, Freddie Tagaloa, Mustafa Jalil, Jason Gibson. Probably missing a few.
DeAndre Coleman might've been the only Tedford 4 star (besides the young wideouts) that actually produced. It's crazy how much we whiffed with these 4 star recruits that we beat out everyone on the west coast for.
Gabe King, thatтАЩs who I was thinking of. Those others you listed at least played and contributed, even if they never hit their recruiting potential. Those last Tedford classes looked great on paper but were terrible on the field. Dykes inherited a bunch of talent on paper.
Also Steve Williams was there too. He opted for draft instead of playing him senior season. Not drawing any meaningful conclusion. Just saying it because I liked those players.

Has Wilcox had 8 guys drafted in total, period?
Since the end of the 2017 season (including this year), Cal had 9 players drafted, all defensive. The highest was Ashtyn Davis in the 3rd.
The dearth of draftees from the offensive side of the ball is unfortunateтАжhopefully that changes in the upcoming years.
Dykes inherited a loaded roster at Cal too. We had those highly recruited guys from 2010~2012
Those guys mostly all flamed out due to injury, grades, not meeting expectations or bad locker room presence.
Yeah. But they were still there when Dykes came in.
Inheriting them when hired and actually playing are two different things.
Avery Sebastian broke his leg against Northwestern.
McCain was kicked off the team within the first 3 games of the seasons.
Forbes medically retired before the season started.
The highly rated DL recruit (I canтАЩt remember his name now) from NC never reached his potential.

Gabe King played a decent bit for us in 2012 and 2013.
Moala?
