I love this add, he's tailor made to Spav's RPO system and has been practicing in a similar offense for the last 2 years with Sonny. He's oozing with potential and has 3 YEARS of eligibility with us. He does look pretty raw but god dam the way he runs is closer to Lamar Jackson than Brendon Mccelwein in my humble opinion. As long as he isn't heavily interception prone I don't see how this offense could be worse than last years even without sturdivant
I was at the 2019 Army/Navy game where Malcolm Perry, as QB, dropped back to pass ~10-15 times but never threw the ball. He'd just wait for things to clear out and then scamper down the field to >300 rushing yards. Sam looks like he could do that too, AND he's got an arm!!!! I am excite!!!
Fantastic get from spavital! So what if he doesn’t have a ton of experience. If cal can secure a few more offensive line pieces, all he would have to do in his first year at the helm is hand the ball off to that three headed monster Cal now has in the backfield and let the playmakers operate in space. Spavital will develop him nicely.
It’s a bummer sturdivant entered the portal because this team offensively is coming together with some really nice pieces. 4 star recruits has to be the standard to compete with the top of the conference assuming the staff can develop these guys based on their rankings out of high school.
Good news? Absolutely...it is great that they got someone from a P5 as opposed to marginal Sun Belt or C-USA kids, but 6 collegiate passes in his career? Is that a homerun?
It will be interesting to see if the 3rd string QB at TCU is actually the kid that is going to save Justin Wilcox's job, as that is basically what he is being tasked to do...we shall see.
The transfer portal both gives and takes. The benefit that I love about it is teams can rebuild offensive/defensive sides of the football without taking 3-4 years now.
Oh hellz yes....momentum is really building! RB's, WR and now a 4 Star duel threat QB...we CAN have nice things! Now hopefully this will attract some line talent to support the skill players...be still my racing heart!
Told y’all to stay frosty
This is great news on name alone.
"Say 'what' again! I dare you! I double dare you, motherfucker! Say what one more goddamn time!"
Complain all you want about Wilcox, but you can't say that he isn't changing the football team by the root.
This is EXCELLENT! This dude is fast as hell
I’m just looking forward to the fun Samuel Cal Jackson t-shirts.

I'd like Martin too, just to create competition.
Cal now has the 27th ranked transfer class per 247. https://247sports.com/college/california/Season/2023-Football/Commits/
What am I missing?

Go Bears...definitely happy to get a QB.
damn so we got an upgraded Rogers?
All kinds of news. Just got an email from Cal saying we're back with Nike!
