It's all about NIL and $. I'd be very surprised to see Ott in a Cal uniform next year as well. Cal has to either join the party or go to a lesser conference or an Ivy league type model.
If we want to be relevant anymore we need a) to retain talent and accrue new talent via the portal and b) get someone or sponsors to fund the NIL program at Cal. Otherwise there is no reason to come to Cal except the degree.
Moving him to outside and then back to inside displayed the coaches incompetence regardless of "current" need for "the team". Oh well, now he gone.
Poor coaching, simple as that. You have playas that want to go league don't play them where the League won't play them. Femi is a talent....generation type talent.
I’m sure Chip Kelly was tampering to have the decision made in 4 hours. Whatever, its college football now.
Meanwhile Wilcox thinks its acceptable to not even have a Twitter account let alone use social media for recruiting. Amazing how incompetent our entire athletic department is.
Westwood is a great location the campus is flawless. UCLA should get top recruits from high school and transfer portal
A score for the 'Baby Bears' and their powder blue uniforms....

Pretty sure it is a violation for the other school to be in contact with a player before they enter the transfer portal, but is there any enforcement?
Fire wilcox
just out of curiosity, how the fuck has an OC not been hired (yes I heard about the sanfu already), but Wilcox........WTF???''
Oh, and Avi put your TWEETS in this forum as well (if you haven't already).
Unacceptable. Full stop.

Oh well. Perhaps more to come.
And he wasn't starting for about 3 game stretch. Puzzling
If he waited a year it might not have been a transfer within the conference. Sad face.
He better start learning fast bc times have changed.
Apparently Chris Street is in the portal, too. Guess there's room to add a couple of RBs this year.

Not arguing that it's good or bad, but remember when transferring within your conference was considered sedition?
Maybe the player-to-be-named later will be Justyn Martin.
Be nice.
Wilcox is up against it to keep his job.
Wilcox has nothing but job security as long as he's under contract. That's the Knowlton way.
This deal was done before portal opened. I.e. tampering.
I hate the transfer portal
I hate that we have a coach who refuses to use it and is on the late train to adopt it to help improve our program.
