real talk: the cal football program is the right choice for those that wanna build generational wealth via their nfl aspirations competing in the acc & working hard in the classrooms of berkeley in a fiercely competitive global economy that unremorsefully favors cal, stanford & ivy league grads while low academic football factory skools (which r often located in ****hole truck stop towns with lousy cold azz level 7 hypothermia weather in the winter & helllike hot muggy humidity in the summer) dispose of their low gpa gladiators once their marginal utility is all used up leaving them to working nite security at legoland at age 30

so here's shocky's 100% candid player personnel analysis, these are solely the monster's opinions & not those of the cal men's golf current/former coaching staff or collin morikawa/max homa/ben an/michael kim, got it??...it should also be pointed out that the team's golf roster size will be impacted by the house settlement & it's possible that a talented transfer deal will get worked out
the superstars:
ziqin "eric" zhou (will be a sophomore next season): the econ major got all the tools to be one of the nation's top 10 golfers, he tole me that collin has reached out to him by phone a couple of times...that kinda developmental mentorship advice/relationship from the world's #4 ranked golfer is priceless
xihuan chang (true freshman): the beijing china native got morikawa like credentials entering college with a top 4 finish at the us junior boy's & a top 32 at the us amateur (successfully competing at usga events which are prepared for championship golf is the true mark of a golfer's pedigree)...only red flag for the 5'11" xihuan is his slight weight of 143 lbs which can be addressed this fall in the s&c program at memorial stadium
solid with potential great upside:
charlie berridge (5th year senior): what can the 6'5" 211 lbs former ice hockey player/highest gpa student on the golf team do with his game without the relentless time demands of berkeley undergraduate studies??...berridge (his dad eric kindly invited me out to visit again his gatsby inspired timeless c&c brambles) tole me he gotta stretching routine but a yoga/meditation practice is the next step, got it charlie??
daniel heo (senior): the 6' 165 lbs econ major from cypress made huge developmental strides late in the season & would benefit from another 10-12 lbs of muscle this offseason
sihao cong (blueshirt sophmore): the 5'11" 155 lbs irvine native stood out this season & would benefit from another 10-15 lbs of muscle this offseason
charlie bundy (blueshirt junior): the personable william & mary transfer sat out this season while working on his game & studying for the haas biz ad school (tole me he will find out in july re: his application to haas)...mutiple sources tole me that charlie excelled in the qualifying rounds around the bay (including 3-4 rounds at shocky's old caddying grounds at the fabulous san francisco golf club)...bundy is actually 6'1" 148 lbs (not the 155 lbs listed on the roster bio), charlie gotta start measuring his daily protein grams intake like the vast majority of pga golfers (rory consumer 170 grams of protein a day, basically his body weight) & get himself up to 160-165 lbs before this fall while playing a rigorous summer amateur golf slate
unproven young talent:
matthew miyamoto & kai hirayama (sophmores unless they blueshirted): gotta work harder to get better, are they grinders??
zhenghei "richard" han (blueshirt freshman): see above, all 3 r undersized by asu golf standards (lean muscular 180-185 lbs)
trevor cox (true freshman): the 2025 commit from rancho santa fe hasn't achieved anything significant in junior golf, needs to work with a chip on his shoulder
Make that back-to-back birdies for Byeong Hun An 🙌

With the House Settlement capping "NIL salaries" (and by extension reducing the motivation for young players to move on to chase $$) and the covid year players (finally) running out of eligibility, I expect to see schools swing back to taking more HS players. Seems like the Moneyball approach.GCGBear said:
I am not worried about taking more HS recruits. Hopefully it builds a more stable program. We, like all schools, have more leave each year than we expect. If we have more HS recruits it could mean we need less transfers and can go after fewer, high impact guys in the portal.
