IIRC (reported somewhere, forget where) the plan was that he would participate in spring but then would be gone.

Yeah I saw that too. I think it was a response to all the people who questioned, why the hell is Glover still here at spring practice?

Best of luck to Ryan. If only all transfers were this painless. Glad he got the Cal paper tho…good for him.

Best wishes to the young man! Reminder of how physically and mentally hard it is to be a starting QB. You can be so very close, and still not be the one.

I thought his eligibility was over. Anyway good luck to him. He threw one nice pass against Arizona, a deep fly pattern to Kekoa Crawford who was behind the secondary but he dropped it. Thus endeth our chance in that game.

There will be eternal debate on that play - did Crawford make a mistake by failing to adjust to a catchable ball? Or did Glover wildly overthrow the one play he needed to get right?

Fact.

Either way, it’s a great example of the type of play that Wilcox-led Cal teams need to start making more consistently if they’re going to get wins. Given the conservative, risk-averse nature of his offenses, coupled with the understandable reliance on defense, there’s always such slim margin for error on O, moreso than other teams. When plays are there in the passing game, they gotta hit them. IF and when they do, then you’ve really got something…

Go Bears!

Oh man that game in Tucson. My first and only time in that city and it was _that_ game. Why is it always Arizona that gives us problem.

Makes sense since he'd be further down the depth chart and he already got his degree. Hopefully he'll get some snaps and good preparation for his career wherever he lands.

I'm surprised he didn't enter sooner

I am as well, unless it has to do with his degree/grad school application timing.

That would be a valid reason to wait.
