Dick Vermeil, who is going into the Pro Football Hall of Fame this weekend, once told John Wooden that he was depressed because he kept losing top players to U$C. Wooden told him: "Listen here, coach. USC is always going to have better players. Don’t worry about that. You just make sure you make every player on your roster the best he can possibly be, and everything else will take care of itself." Truer words have never been spoken and this is Wilcox's philosophy as well. We are better off recruiting players who WANT to be at Cal and who are going to graduate than one-and-done superstars.
true that
Go Bears! As the first in my school to go to Cal I can attest to it being a big deal. Congrats Ryan! Best choice I ever made. Led to all the others.

Wooden also cheated.
