There are a lot of people who are clutching their pearls over a decommitment. While you hate to see it, a decommit is a normal part of the recruiting cycle.
In some cases, decommits are a team rescinding a scholarship offer when the get a better recruit. Other times, a recruit gets an offered pulled because of academical or legal challenges. Sometimes, a recruit fail to develop as a senior. Sometimes, it really is what you fear... a kid going to where they think the grass is greener, whether true or not. Cal typically loses only one to three recruits per cycle. So until Cal starts losing recruits at the pace of other Pac-12 schools - then you can relax your grip on your pearls.

I've been a big supporter of Coach Wilcox from day one because I believe he brought a lot of experience and good ethics to the program - and I still appreciate that. I would love to see him get out of this rut but my biggest complaint is his inability to see a problem and fix it quickly. He sticks with the same people (both players and coaches) for far too long and it ends up doing a lot more damage over time. He's a bit lost right now.
We should have one of the top three OLines in the Pac12 right now based on experience and coaching time - we definitely do not have that. After 5 years, our QB should be the #1 rated QB in the league, he's far from that. Our DB squad should be unparalleled in the P12 after Alexander and Wilcox, they're not. Do we even need to discuss special teams? The recruiting apparently has not been producing the depth and talent needed, and we've lost a lot of talent to transfer.
This is a serious coaching issue.
