He and Caminong are besties, no? Perhaps Cam is thinking things through as well. I used to follow recruiting, not so much anymore. With NIL, transfer portal and flips it is too tedious to keep up.

Easy come, easy go. And then easy come again. We'll be fine. Good freshmen go to where they think they'll win, schools that promise lots of NIL, or to a prestigious football program. Good non-freshmen go to where they think they'll see playing time or to where NIL is actually delivered. We'll see you again in 1.1 years, Rashawn.

Az has a better record of many wins that sell the ace recruiters to play for it. Cal needs to win more games before it can sell top recruiters to play for it.

No worries. Maybe the Bears can flip an Arizona commit.

Knowing that other programs are getting similarly jilted as well would help me take this less "personally" so I can just chalk it up to portal chaos and fickle young people.

247 has him as 4-star but others have him as 3. He would have likely ended up at DB (but possibly WR).

Oh well. It's early yet and the portal is full of quality transfers. And, there's another portal in the spring.
