Oh man GoBears49 isn't going to like this one, his prized possession of the QB battle is already out of the running. Who knows there could be a variety of factors, maybe he doesn't like the system or didn't pick it up like Brasch did or something like that. The reason I'm going with (and I hope this doesn't end up like a Zack Kline freezing cold take) is that Kai Millner is already THAT DUDE and is probably already in a boxing fight with Brasch for QB2. All the best for Casey.

Avi - why you gotta do Robby Rowell dirty. Walk-ons are people too! :s

Hate to see him go. But we’ll be just fine.

As I live and age, I get less and less worked up about coaches or players leaving our program. You can't run realistic scenarios of what impact they would have made if they had stayed. What if Marshawn had transferred? Sure, in retrospect. I wish Casey well. One thing I know, players rarely transfer if they expect to start and are killing it. This means for me, we have stronger guys in the mix. In Wilcox I trust.

We have a lot of talent at QB on our roster competing for the top spot. And we have a stud coming in. Only one is going to play, so unless you think you have a real shot at eventually winning a starting role, or unless you love CAL, the CAL experience and the education it provides, it's probably wise to move on. I we only had 3 solid prospects on our roster I would be worried, but every one of those kids can be coached up to play if needed, including Robby Rowell (the kid has some chops). I wish Casey great success at his new school.

I am searching my memory banks for Cal quarterbacks who transferred to greener pastures. There was a guy named Perry Klein who left to a juggernaut football program named C.W. Post and later had a cup of coffee with an NFL team. And then there was a guy named Ross Bowers who went to Northern Illinois University and is apparently still a work in progress. Before that, a guy named Zach Kline went to Indiana State and later became a CFL quarterback.

Oh yeah, someone named Vince Ferragamo did okay after he left for Nebraska. Mixed results, but better than holding a clipboard.

Caden’s message thanks Coach “Musgraves,” not Musgrave. A hint at how close he was to his QB coach snd Offensive Coordinator?
