Everyone seems to be really bummed about Terry leaving because he was such a highly rated 4* recruit.

Everyone seems to be really bummed about Terry leaving because he was such a highly rated 4* recruit. But forget his rating and tell me how well he played the last two years in a system MADE for TE's. He played no where near to the potential that his recruiting scouting report suggested he would play. For his size and strength he was not a good or effective blocker and he did not seem to get open and did drop some easy catches. Hopefully he will do much better where ever he ends up. I want nothing but success for him. And just to show you that highly ranked TE's can be a bust, check out Arik Gilbert. I don't think there are many guys with a 5* rating and higher than a .9972 score. Yet he's been to LSU, FL, GA and is transferring again. https://247sports.com/Player/Arik-Gilbert-94709/
Sometimes the highly regarded guys are just a bust.
I like our new kid, JT Byrne, from Oregon State. He's 6'6" like Latu. He's big. He's a multi sport athlete who has yet to participate in Spring drills (I'm sure he will at CAL if he want's playing time and I'm sure that was part of the discussion with his new coach). Let's see what he can do, but one thing is for sure, and he CAN block well. i'm not dying with the departure of some of our guys like some on this thread.
But, unless we get ourselves a solid QB we will be in trouble.

Isnt Chandler basically the QB. Although I wonder what’s taking so long.
Excited for blocking TE’s
Chandler hasn't committed yet, as far as i know. So the position is open.
Yeah not committee but thought he was basically a lock. Maybe not true
