It seemed like coach AT was doing well recruiting. But I guess losing games loses recruits. (don't blame em—would you rather be on ABC in the afternoon or Pac-12 at 10pm?)
That's an undersandable decision. Iowa has two losing seasons in the last 20 years, routinely churns out 8-9-win seasons, and went to the Rose Bowl recently. From a football standpoint, they're a far superior choice to the current Cal program, which increasingly appears to be in disarray.
This had been in the rumor mill for several weeks, no surprise. And now we have no QB or RB in this cycle. That is some really bad juju. Cal should have several ~ 4 to 6, maybe 8 ~ scholarships available for this year. The only way to salvage this class, IMO, is to pluck at least 4-6 experienced players off of the portal at the end of the season. Cuz the only kids (high school seniors) left on the board that Cal can attract at this late stage are 2 - low 3* players. Getting 4 - 8 of them would exasperate an already weak position. Gawd I hope Cal doesn't throw schollies away in the next 2 months (early signing in December).
afraid to compete
Fuck.

Two, don’t forget last recruiting class, in which we didn’t land a RB.
The Wilcox ship is sinking fast now.
Imploding

When it rains, it pours....I will be playing poker this Friday night because I can't stand to watch this season get any uglier. Ugghhh......

I'm starting to re-think my definition of "commitment".....
I'm sad......
recruiting is the lifeblood of a program...does that mean Cal has no blood? This doesn't seem ideal.
