Good luck Jake! Bears fans, this is normal for grad transfers to occur. This happens. What won't be normal is if we see players with multiple years left, leave. Then we panic
Ok this exodus is starting to become questionable. I get we have TE's lined up for the future, Reinwald fine (I didn't think we used him enough anyway), but Tonges and then Remigio too for the WR's??? I'm not liking what I'm smelling here.
Finally, after decades, Cal started utilizing TEs in the offense. Tonges was a big part of it. High expectations for Latu and Terry to step up next year.
W4C should write an article about this issue. Don' understand why Remigio is transferring. He got a lot of reps in past years and would have had more in the future, given lots of guys leaving through graduation, including ar WR, with no eligibility left, like Crawford. Also, had he stayed at Cal (which he still could do by removing himself from the portal) Remigio would have very likely would have continued his kickoff and punting return duties.
Factors which like explain why this is happening are 1) the Covid year which did not count as a year of playing but did not stop the clock on the normal graduation timeline, and 2) (related to 1), players using up their (likely one year) graduation certificate programs but still with playing time available due to Covid playing time extention rules.
Still, an article going through the pertinent factors and how they apply to certain specific situations would be interesting and helpful.
