Looks like we may have some real power coming from the RB room to balance the potent passing game Tosh is building around JKS. Let’s just hope the OL and DL are up to the task.

Thanks JMG. In this crazy portal era, it’s tough not to be a little skeptical when you see “3 years of eligibility remaining”…until something changes, this is a year-to-year thing. ;-)

Another offensive lineman via the portal: Mykeal Rabess from FIU.

He biiiig. Played OT, DT, DE in high school so may be quick too.

Two positive RB pickups today. Now, how do we rebuild the OL? Anxiously waiting to hear news on that, including who will be coaching the OG's. Thinking that we would have heard if Anae is being kept?

Makes me wonder if the Anae thing is still up in the air. I personally think it would be good if they kept him. The O line really showed signs of improvement at the end of the season. We’ll see.

There is SO much talent in California. We just need to keep bringing some of these guys home.

Welcome to Cal Carter. I love these new guys we are getting! I have a ton of homework to do now reviewing tape. Go Bears!

We need OL!!! Tosh is so close to completely revamp our offense. Plz sign up some road grading OLs to open lanes and pass protect!

This is getting fun. Every time we have visits, a day or two later we're seeing commitments. As a long time Cal fan/alum I'm cautiously optimistic, but outside of watching and winning games, recruiting wins have always amped me up. I'm almost glad there's a lot of defections now because we get a glimpse of the new staff's recruiting chops, which so far have been impressive and as advertised. Very excited to see this injection of life into Cal football (and basketball) that we just haven't had for quite awhile. Go 🐻s!

It's fun. exciting, and encouraging to watch what Tosh and his team are doing to bring some outstanding portal players to Bear Territory. My impression is that these recruits see the potential of the commitment the Athletic Department and UCB are making to the program. I'm sure that Tosh, working closely with GM Rivera, is doing their best to bring some top-notch offensive linemen to the program. Go Bears!

Yeah I think it’s a combo of everything, including a big war chest
