6' 190 lbs physical cornerback matthew littlejohn from citrus community college (with an interesting stopover at angelo state) gonna take an official visit to berkeley this weekend december 10th/11th

the bears are gonna have an open competition this spring as there is no clear cut 3rd corner/nickel back behind the lockdown lu magia hearns iii (gotta get stronger this offseason to withstand injuries) & future all pac 12 defender jeremiah earby

matthew is a ballhawk with sudden closing speed that already excels in press coverage, he's a december grad looking to enroll in january so this could be a final decision kinda roadtrip for the san antonio native


littlejohn took an official visit to kansas last weekend, the staff there explained how a degree from lawrence will set him up for becoming a nite shift supervisor at the topeka truck stop, reality is that today's fiercely competitive global economy favors the well educated with degrees from cal, stanford & the ivy leagues

the takers r edukated at kal

50 year decision (life after football)#

how to build a collegiate football program in the year 2022:

tv announcer just said that oregon state only got 1 player in the transfer portal, previous starting quarterback chance nolan who got injured & lost his starting job

this is the blueprint for the cal football program: recruit high gpa true student athletes who value a berkeley degree & that love each other & their young coaches that relate well to them & that always got their best interests at heart

and yeah them curvy brunette yoga female cheerleaders is not a bad idea either

reading comprehension 101: there is 1 oregon state player in the portal right now

nowhere does it say not building the program thru the portal is not an effective strategy, obviously berkeley doesn't admit 2.5 gpa transfers the way oregon state does but it can surgically target qualified student athletes with high gpas

Cal has been trying to do it this way under Wilcox. I get it is harder when you cannot take lesser academically qualified players. But he has hired poor offensive assistants, held onto them too long and completely failed to adapt to the modern college game.

He hired an NFL retread (Musgrave) that tried to force an NFL style offense on a program that was not set up to run this type of offense. And he tried to do it KNOWING they had a poor OL coach (McClure) that could not teach and communicate the skills and communications necessary to run that style. Once those 2 were removed the offense took a noticeable step forward.

Despite the evidence all around the conference, Wilcox was very slow to utilize the portal. Felt it would be harmful to the culture and the portal was filled mostly with low charcacter me first players. UCLA and OSU were classic examples of how to improve your program with good portal recruiting. Oh and BTW the culture on this 2022 Cal football team was the worst of his tenure. Losing has a way of eating away at a culture.

Wilcox has had this OKG philosophy. He has gone out of his way recruit high character players that value the Cal degree. What he has done to date has been inneffective. They want to relationship recruit. Sounds great. They spent the better part of 3 years recruiting Rashid Williams. UW hired Jamarcus Shephard as WR coach and he got a commitment from Williams in just a few months of recruiting. The pitch they have used is tired and needs to be modernized. Wilcox to date has not had a single recruit of his get drafted for the NFL. That is pathetic. A P5 program with the NFL legacy Cal has and not one Wilcox recruit gets drafted. That is poor evaluation. Despite the many years of losing Cal has produced many significant NFL stars. Not under this crew.

Now he has hired 3 young offensive assistants. All are in their 30's. All have had some success but are now trying to recruit to this program in a P5 conference that has barely had a pulse on offense. It is 4 days from LOI day and the program has zero OL commits. They have offered more OL than any other position and they have zero. They have no QB commit.

It has taken Justin Wilcox 6 years to realize his offensive philosophy was not working. That he got 6 years is another story but that is what it took. Now they are retooling the offense. But the lack of success on offense, the general losing and new staff members make this a major challenge.

The single biggest problem with Cal football is the HC. Justin Wilcox may be a good guy, a strong DC and his stated values sound great. But the execution of the Wilcox plan has been awful. The players graduate and that is a great thing. But there should be more wins than there are. Cal is not a football factory. But it should not be as consistently bad as it is at football. Yes the administration needs to be more supportive. But Cal is bad because of who they have leading the program. Justin Wilcox has been an abysmal failure and should have been replaced at the end of the 2021 season. Instead he was extended and given a ridiculous buyout that basically ensures his employment for 2-3 additional seasons.

It is hard enough to build at Cal, but now with the transfer portal, NIL and conference realignment the task is even harder. And Cal is trying to build this with a HC that has not adapted much if at all the modern football being played.

Wilcox has been slow to change and adapt. Now he must be agile and nimble to work the portal, re recruit his best players and make sure he holds HIS staff accountable. His poor hires and the lack of accountability after are the biggest reasons the program is in the dumper. Hopefully he has now seen the light.

The hurdles at Cal may keep Cal from ever being a powerhouse. But they should not be the creampuff they have been. That is on Wilcox.

Got to have power in the lines! How many times must it be said? Tired of watching our guys get bent back and defeated. Weight room only goes so far, but the current regime is teaching ballet for bouncers. Get more guys with bowling balls in their wheelhouses.

clemson transfer sergio allen from fort valley georgia (90 minutes south of atlanta) & a cal official visitor this past week is waiting to see if his conditional offer (it's a numbers game with the yellowjackets linebacking room) becomes an actionable offer before making a final decision

yeah jaylen brown got offers from every national basketball powerhouse before deciding to make the move to the left coast & a vitamin d overdose

2023 california golden bears football schedule:

september 2nd-north texas mean green in denton texas

september 9th-auburn tigers in berkeley california

september 16th-idaho vandals in berkeley california

tonite all of the staff's eyes are gonna be on the tv advance scouting north texas as they play the university of texas san antonio (utsa) in the conference usa championship game...the mean green were a solid 7-5 this season, the only common opponent with the bears wuz unlv which mgm valeted them 58-27 on the strip without the limo ride to shadow creek

defensively the mean green are led by relentless senior linebacker kd davis (118 tackles, 63 solo) and junior apex predator edge defender mavin richards (7.5 sacks) & offensively 6'2" 221 lbs junior quarterback austin aune who lit it up for 3,115 yards in the air with 31 touchdowns but also a careless 11 interceptions when under duress which could be an opportunity for the takers in the season opener
kd davis with a swarming 14 tackles tonite, glad he's outta eligibility & that the defensive backs are not well coached (they are susceptible to biting on go routes...jmike, jeremiah & mavin could lite their sorry azzs up)...there's a better chance that the bears are gonna drop 50+ points next september in denton then the men's basketball team dropping 50+ points this sunday in tuscon

quarterback austin aune (an inaccurate 14 of 29 passes with a beyond breaking bad 38.7% quarterback rating) is a fiery leader who played minor league baseball for 6 years with the new york yankees but makes a lotta forced passes into tight windows, coach sirmon gotta dial up the en fuego when we travel to texas

newsflash: north texas mean greens play physical dirty football with late hits & cheap shots & trash talking

the interim head coach got called out by the boise state coach, dudes did not have a beer after the game

if them cali bears show up left coast candy azz soft next september in denton not expecting a brawl, they are gonna get their ******* azzs handed to them

It's disheartening to see you relentlessly beat these same drums even after changes (such as to OC and OL coaches) have been made (and IMO those changes look very promising). And even if you don't think the HC should have been extended that's happened. So what purpose does it serve to continue to bring it up? Really feels like your purpose here is to anti-hype the program.

6'2" 215 lbs linebacker mark iheanachor is an athletic & well constructed playmaker that could potentially start his career in berkeley as a pwo & quickly earn a scholly or potentially earn a scholly rite away if the numbers work

mark is not a dumb azz, he got a 3.2 gpa at narbonne high school & 1st team all marine league which is an ultra competitive conference

The truth is sometimes painful, for sure. However, since we will be staying with Wilcox for a while, I am hoping beyond hope that he is finally getting things figured out and that the new hires are a big success. They look really solid.

loose transcript of conversation today at memorial stadium:

kade millard: hey coach, thanks so much for the pwo offer, that's really appreciated...berkeley is close to pleasanton so my parents could make the 30 minute drive on gamedays

coach sirmon: no worries kade, your 6'3" 215 pounds with instinctive athleticism and a high football iq kinda like your dad

kade: appreciate that

coach sirmon: hey, forgot to ask and don't want shocky all over my azz, what's your gpa?

kade: 4.00

coach sirmon (obviously relieved): whew, berkeley admissions love to hear that

kade: other than being close to home and the number public university in the world, why should i want to play for you?

coach sirmon (kinda whispering): look kade, don't tell anybody this but once a week i get meals flown in from shoneys for the linebacker room

kade: what's shoneys?

tyler, if you evaluated every single position room for every single pac 12 team, then you would know the room that could result in the quickest opportunity to move from pwo status to a full scholly status in the pac 12 is cal's monster offensive line room

but 6'4" 275 lbs is not gonna get it done, how quickly can you build ur body the rite way to 300+ lbs with strength, bend, mobility & quick twitch movements?

mac, r u reading this 2?

patrick histake commits to hawaii

patrick was born in america samoa & moved to hawaii when he was 3 months old...histake torn his left knee acl in 2021 & before this year's bears opener vs unlv broke his left hand on a teammate's helmet

he got connected to the hawaii staff thru his uncle ray/former rainbows lineman who now works at st francis high school in san jose

while a berkeley degree is worth millions of dollars more over a lifetime, glad patrick is gonna earn a college degree
