Again, I pose to you, if YOU were a bonafide 5 star or 4star recruit , would YOU come to a Wilcox-coached team? Probably not. Times have changed; love it or hate it, the Transfer Portal is the new reality as well. We are a stellar academic school trying to run with the football ‘bigs’, and in football, we won’t be able to keep up. If you’re cool being 6-6 every year and going to the Mediocrity Bowl in some bumfuck town on a Wednesday in December, then enjoy it. We are Cal; mediocrity is unacceptable in my book.
If you want to go to the NFL, you need development. College in general should be all about getting you ready for life. If that life is football, you need a staff that will focus on you and build a program around you. That will happen at CAL. (see Jaydn Ott).
At Cal, you'll learn how to do things the right way. That it's not about winning and losing games... it's about working hard and winning at life.
The NFL is full of guys from Cal and endless schools that aren't winning titles every year. Watch the player introductions on MNF tonight. The players will be from schools across the Country. So elite players should surround themselves with the best and brightest. Not just on the field, but in the classroom.
Like...The #1 Public University in the World.😎
Remember: Easy to get lost at the "Bigs". Look what happened to JMike at UCLA. Heartbreaking. And we have so many examples of Cal guys excelling a the next level.
Biggest story at the start of the NFL season: Aaron Rodgers
One of the biggest as season has unfolded: Jared Goff.
We don't have to settle for #64

It's a great question, Pete.
I would say "yes'.

Marshawn Lynch is a National Treasure.
Keenan Allen is a Fantasy Team lock.
Roll on and on and on.
You're right. Mediocrity is unacceptable.
So give the Program what it needs.

2024 Recruit Football Team Rankings
Of course this is all speculative, but usually the better horses win the race.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but we weren't we Top 20 Portal Class last year?
This year will be better. ACC opens up whole new recruiting grounds and our program is heading in the right direction. LFG!
