Nice write up and thank you. I really enjoy seeing this from an insiders prospective. It helps understand what Coach Wilcox is doing and how he is doing it. Great that former well known CAL alum ballers got involved as well. I'm real curious how Jaden Rashada's visit went and if he provided any feedback. He needs to ask himself two questions before he commits anywhere but CAL: 1. Where will CAL be as a program by the time he gets a chance to play, which is most likely 3 to 4 years, and 2. Where is the best place for him to play for his family and friends to come out watch him? Then he can think about all the other great reasons, like the education, Top Dog...

I don't generally follow recruiting news, but we absolutely need to sign Rico Flores Jr. With the length of his arms, we'd be able to block every field goal and PAT that our opponents attempt.

Thank you. Given the alumni of the program, it is so wonderful to have some show up and support their Bears. I see Mike Saffle in the photo too, and what a recruiter he must be. The combination of academics and athletics are of course, hard to beat. Add in the team culture and coaching culture that Wilcox has established, and it's hard to see why a young man with the brains and character to be a Bear wouldn't attend. I know I'm biased. Maybe we don't shower our recruits with money and hook ups like some, but those guys wouldn't like Cal anyway.
