Bigger and taller certainly sounds good, but how is that going to translate to wins and losses and performance on the field? I was a little surprised to see in a mock NFL draft that not one Cal player is projected to be picked in any of the 7 rounds. Those are all Wilcox players.

I was a little surprised to see in a mock NFL draft that not one Cal player is projected to be picked in any of the 7 rounds. Those are all Wilcox players. You look back on the Snyder winning teams from 1990 and 1991, and the Tedford winning teams from 2003 through 2009, and there were a bunch of guys drafted. Snyder's first winning team in 1990 had three offensive line guys along with Pawloski, Dawkins, Willard and White that got drafted. I bet I am missing several others.
Pure talent is certainly a factor in getting guys to the NFL, but player development and coaching schemes are a huge factor as well. Maybe this year's team will turn that around.
Bigger/stronger WRs give QBs better windows for separation, right? One of our biggest issues on offense was that our wide receivers weren't giving Chase any help even though Chase had his own issues of not being able to go deep.

Well, I kind of agree. The bigger, faster stronger mantra every spring seems to be a common variant of "coachspeak".
LOL. I think HC was careful not to put "faster" in his statement.
At least no "really flying around out there"!
