I notice Rally hasn't commented on how his commie bankrupt school is ****ing the rest of the UC system.

 

Boo hoo.

 

That project is ARCHITECTURAL EXCELLENCE!

Oh yeah! GO BEARS!

 

Stop defacing my beautiful thread with your dirty lies.

It should be demolished and salvaged to pay the tax payers back for your commie bankrupt institution's mistake.

[RallyMo]

Is it football season yet?

[nate]

You bankrupt commie ****s shouldn't be allowed to play until you pay off that stadium.  

 

Sounds like you guys are going to land 3* WR Carlos Strickland.  Bruins were leading for him up until the Newsome commitment.  They are very similar so it makes sense.

Nice! After Likens left (ugh, he was really good) to be OC at Kansas, they bumped one of our graduate coaches up to WR coach and he's supposed to be a dynamo as a recruiter. Good to see he's at it.

[RallyMo]

Also, I think of Newsome and Strickland, Strickland is the higher rated of the two.

From what I've read, it seems we have a good shot at Strickland, but I wouldn't be shocked if UCLA actually ended up with both of them, despite the talk otherwise.

[nate]

Newsome is ranked higher on Scout.  Both are good but Newsome was the bigger target for UCLA.

 

I think Strickland goes to Cal.

[RallyMo]

They are must not have updated the online database yet.

It shows Newsome as being 193rd overall and 26th WR while rating Strickland at 101 and 14 as best I can tell.

Either way, getting Strickland would be huge for us as we'll likely lose most of our receivers after this year.

Is Cal taking 7 WRs this class?

It sure looks like they may.

rally said "dynamo"

[RallyMo]

Damn it.

Cal picked up Jaylin Hawkins. 8 WRs!!!

Bearaid!

[nate]

Well, the offense was an area of need.  No reason to fortify that stout defense.

 

At least Cal games will be really fun to watch.  Goff with all those weapons will be something to see.

No to throw water on your apparent shock, but if Lawler chooses to leave after this season, we'll lose our top 7 (7 WRs!!!) from last year at the end of this season.

See above.

I'm pretty sure that they recruited as well as possible given the state of the program. Having a Rivals Top 30 class after the last few years is pretty amazing, especially when you look at programs that they allegedly out recruited this year.

Furthermore, they are now dealing with very strict academic standards given the new campus academic requirements that will be implemented over the course of the next few years.

From a related article:

"50 to 62 percent of current football players were admitted with GPAs below 3.0. That’s in contrast to head coach Sonny Dykes’ most recent recruiting class, 77 percent of whom had GPAs of 3.0 or higher."

[nate]

Yeah that is the problem UCLA is facing too.  See: Cassius Peat, TJ Simmons, LJ Reed, and Zach Whitley.  Good for the university, tough on the coaching staff and football team.

 

Still, Cal and UCLA are two top public universities in the world, I think it is good that they preserve that even on the athletic side.

couldn't agree more

[RallyMo]

I honestly think it will lead to better football, as long as they're coached well. I truly believe that with momentum, they could steal a lot of Stanford's thunder. The facilities at Cal are truly wonderful, but when they finally went online, the football program itself was a flaming bag of poo falling into the pits of hell.

[RallyMo]

Well, we have our QB for the 2016 class, it seems. That's pretty early for us. He's some three star from LA.

[RallyMo]

Just got a commit from a 4* safety.

I'm liking the start to this recruiting season thus far.

I really want Dykes to succeed.

[Tank]

I really want Dykes to succeed.

 

let's keep this in the after dark forum. thanks.

Would be awesome if you had a player named Scizzer Fytes
