California Golden Bears Football

He'll be good for whoever takes him as long as he heals up.

 

People that were underwhelmed by him never watched him play much, I imagine.

 

He's super good at what he does.

He definitely torched the Bruins in his career.  Glad to see him graduate.

More from Wilner on Allen.

 

1. Jon Wilner â€@wilnerhotline4m

   Last Allen: "He was probably in the 15-25 range before. But now he’s probably late second round.”

   NFL scout on Cal's Keenan Allen: “There were already character concerns. His stock will drop significantly.”

Man Allen not doing himself any good

You know NFL organizations dont waste a second on guys with character issues

Dez Bryant laughs at you, Nando.

That's Jerry Jones for you

Ya Allen's step bro sucked at QB for Cal. Allen has all the tools to be the top WR taken but just look at his actions after the season. Not participating in Cal's PD. Not exactly having the best work out in front of scouts and now smoking drugs.

[mrwicked]

We took the step-brother (maynard) and had to start him because that was the only way to get allen.

allen is a great talent but definitely seems like a bonehead / big-timer type.

[RallyMo]

Who was the last WR to come out of Cal with "character issues?"

Allen and Maynard were a package deal. It wasn't worth it, though at the same time it's not like any of the other QBs was any more capable given the coaching they received.

Cal has three of the best offensive players in the NFL right now and the new staff is really trying to make a big deal of it. Hell, Lynch played in the Spring Game.

DeSean Jackson

Looks like they finally replaced the last Tedford holdover: our strength and conditioning coach.

 

Dykes, not shockingly, brought in the guy from LaTech.

 

I get super hopeful that they'll be able to turn these guys around quickly like we saw with UCLA, but realistically I think a  .500 record would be a victory given the disarray the program was in.

[RallyMo]

Dykes did a Twitter q and a session.

He comes across as being much more personable than Tedford.

[nate]

He stole that idea from Mora.  Mora has done like five of them so far.  And it is awesome.

I'm pretty sure he didn't steal this from Mora.

[RallyMo]

He's also making players stay in the dorms for their first two years now. Interesting.

The new APR scores are out.

Cal performed as I expected.

Jeebus.

Dykes has no room for error.

[nate]

What was the APR?

 

UCLA came in at 966.

966-31

 

Like I have said before, the situation Dykes has inherited is nothing like the one that Mora inherited.

 

Tedford left the program in flames.

[nate]

Holy shit, that is cutting it close.

That nice new stadium came at a cost:
