the university of california, berkeley=#2 ranked university in the united states of americahttps://www.forbes.com/top-colleges/important notes:there is also a 4.0 gpa silent commitment at this time, he is projected to be a future national football league standout with nfl pro bowl upsidethere are 4 major observations when analyzing the above list of 10 2023 scholly commitments1) how important is it to recruit apex predator edge defenders with a relentless motor that wanna **** up ugly azz quarterbacks & running backs behind the line of scrimmage?half of the above commitments could potentially fulfill that role for the 2023 class, this position is so vital to defending spread offenses in today's modern college football game that the odds of finding one in the portal with a high gpa that can compete in the berkeley classrooms are kinda like searching for a unicorn 2) the 2023 class is not done but at this moment it's the highest gpa/academic calibre class in the history of cal football...and this is intentional by the staff in this era of the portal as low gpa ballers will bail at a moments notice if they don't value the world class recognized berkeley diploma which is worth literally an unlimited number of millions of dollars over a lifetime...for example, when 4.37 gpa michael luckhurst got unwisely relegated behind a senior, he didn't consider transferring to an academically mediocre paper mill like utep or kansas so he could work as the nite shift supervisor at the topeka truck stop someday3) this cycle's academic silver bullet candidates for berkeley admissions such as ashton sanders, jaedon moore, roman rashada, etc. didn't result in additions to the 2023 class4) a co offensive coordinator with an o-line background needs to hit the ground sprinting to ensure that this season's offensive line schollys of 14 (now 13 with ben coleman in the portal) is rightsized to 16 schollys for the 2023 seasonambition is priceless (it's something in your veins, use your mind as a weapon)#
