right now the bears got 28 scholly departures (with more on the way):
daniel scott, safety...out of eligibility
odua isibor, edge defender...out of eligiblity
jamieson sheahan, punter...out of eligilbity
braxton croteau, outside linebacker...medical retirement
ryan lange, guard...football retirement
kyle smith, inside linebacker...portal as grad transfer
ryan puskas, inside linebacker...portal as grad transfer
orin patu, edge defender...grad transfer to arizona
patrick histake, edge defender...portal to hawaii...no berkeley degree
henry ikahihifo, outside linebacker...portal to nevada...no berkeley degree
femi oladejo, linebacker...portal to ucla...no berkeley degree
trey paster, linebacker...portal as grad transfer
ben coleman, guard...grad transfer to asu
spencer lovell, guard...grad transfer to kansas
nick alftin, tight end...portal as grad transfer
keleki latu, tight end...portal to nevada...no berkeley degree
jermaine terry, tight end...portal to oregon state...no berkeley degree
j michael sturdivant, wide receiver...portal to ucla...no berkeley degree
justin richard baker, wide receiver...medical retirement
ashton hayes, running back...portal to nevada...no berkeley degree
chris street, running back...portal...no berkeley degree
damien moore, running back...portal to fresno state...no berkeley degree
decarlos brooks, running back...grad transfer portal to asu
slater zellers, longsnapper...grad transfer to asu
dario longhetto, kicker...grad transfer to asu
jack plummer, quarterback...grad transfer to louisville
kai milner, quarterback...portal to northern arizona...no berkeley degree
zach johnson, quarterback...portal as grad transfer
important note: all potential player movement projections in this post reflect my opinions & not those necessarily of the staff
coach wilcox indicated in the recent football zoom meeting that he wuz targeting 5 additional scholly players when the transfer portal reopens in may...this will include a quarterback such as ideally ucla's justyn martin if he enters the portal & 1-2 more immediate impact guys for cal's monster offensive line...last season the o-line room wuz at only 14 schollys, it needs to be rightsized to 16+
in that the roster math for the scholly count is currently at 85 (27 additions & 27 departures, see above list), this means there will be another 5 scholly departures after spring ball before the portal reopens in may
so who's most likely gonna be crossing the road to life next's great adventure?
the monster is of the opinion that a majority (if not all) 5 players will come from tight end & wide receivers rooms
it's important to note that all 6 of these players are heading into their 4th year in berkeley this fall, in that these student athletes have had the opportunity to attend multiple summer school sessions there is absolutely no reason that they can't either graduate this summer or with one final semester next fall...nobody is gonna be leaving berkeley without a college degree like chris street, got it?
tight end room:
jake muller: virtually no snaps during his first 3 seasons, muller has been passed up on the depth chart by walk on jack endries & the 3 player rotation of elijah mojarro, asher alberding & jt byrne...teammates have also noted his substandard work ethic, jake needs to finish off his berkeley degree & enter the real world (monster odds of departure: 95%)
andy alfieri: will be competing for 5th/6th string this spring, those development snaps will go away when high upside ben marshall shows up this summer...andy is a good student, he needs to graduate with a berkeley degree & then if he's still interested in playing ball becoming a grad transfer at somewhere like portland state with 2 years of remaining eligibility (monster odds of departure: 90%)
wide receivers room:
mason mangum: not gonna participate in spring ball as he rehabs his torn acl...mason is a terrific student & a talented sprinter...mangum could decide to rejoin the team when healthy, spend another year or two in berkeley on a track scholly or grad transfer to another school for track/football (monster odds of departure: 95%)
aiden lee: injured all last season, lee is too slow to create separation at the pac 12 level...aiden could either take a medical retirement or quickly graduate & become a grad transfer at somewhere like northern arizona getting snaps & catching balls from kai milner with 2 years of remaining eligibility (monster odds of departure: 90%)
justin richard baker: very popular player that has embraced the full berkeley experience, justin got speed (electrifying 55 yard td pass against oregon & the 26 yard punt return against colorado last season are evidence of those skills) so does he wanna be buried in coach toler's remarkably deep wide receivers room again or graduate quickly with a berkeley degree & spend his final 2 years in a full spread offense that will showcase his talents? (monster odds of departure: 50%)
tommy christakos: like justin a strong student with physical tools but buried in the bears wr room, lacking top end separation speed christakos got the bad habit of ending on the ground after diving after every passing play that targets him...got height & could get a free 2 year mba somewhere while catching balls if that's the direction he wants to go (monster odds of departure: 50%)
fun fact: both mason & tommy are outstanding students & room together
sad fact: chris street is not enrolled in college anywhere after walking away from a berkeley degree

trey could appeal the ncca for a 6th year because he only played in 2 games at the end of the season 2 years ago because of a knee injury which has been successful rehabbed as evidenced by his 16 points per game, 5.9 rebounds per game & facilitating/distributing 4.7 assists per game (which wuz 66th in the nation this season) along with knocking almost 40% of his 3 pointers (39.6%)Trey Woodbury with another and 1!#GoUVU #UVU #NITMBB pic.twitter.com/uPx06Mk2YD

his alley oop lobs to aziz are a thing of magical beauty, artistry of the highest form on the hardwood
the bears have not had a physical point guard since t-wall roamed the floor with cal's monster class, playing soft is not in woodbury's dna & knocking guys on their azzs is no problemo for a 1 that knocked down a lethal ice in his veins 85.7% of his free throws this season often with the ball in his hands late in the game with **** on the line during money time

4th gen bear (waving at me, he sits 3 rows down on the 50 yard line in around the 25th row): hey shocky, get over here, there's somebody i want you to meet, joel brown
shocky (fist bumping): what up, joel, ima shocky, your my favorite player, you gotta lotta energy except when you dribble with you head down to nowhere
joel: well, thanks i guess
shocky: so what's your gpa?
joel: pretty good, i'm going to graduate from the haas business school
shocky: me too, glad your not a dumb azz, are you working on your crooked azz shooting?
4th gen bear is kinda shaking his head, how did this conversation go so far off the rails he's wondering
shocky: hey randy should hook you up with his friend who is the shooting whisperer, don't be fooled by the fact that he's a girl's high school basketball coach at pinewood high school, he knows his stuff
joel: well actually coach fox has been working with me on my stroke this summer, this is my first real summer staying in berkeley
shocky: show me
joel demonstrates the new stroke for the shockster with an imaginary basketball, his elbow is perpendicular to the basket kinda like pure shooters j-mat and the bird, there's no more of that protruding chicken elbow that has marred his stroke in past seasons
shocky (getting excited): dude, that stroke is a 1000% better, your the only +1 athlete on the team, there's literally no reason you can't attack the baket this season knowing you can knock down the free throws when you get hacked by defenders that are gonna be a step too late to your blur game...what's gonna be your free throw percentage this season?
joel (with a big azz smile): thanks, hope to shoot in the high 80s this season...think in the past i kinda let the mental part of shooting bother me too much plus maybe i wasn't in as good as shape and my legs let me down particularly late in games
shocky (nodding his head): yeah your shot has been way too flat during your time in berkeley, do you know where your shots miss, are you familiar with splatter charts?
joel: no
shocky: splatter charts are used in the nba by scouts and player development coaches to determine where shots are missed, are they left or right which is a huge red flag or are they missed long or short?
joel (deep in thought): last season most of my misses were usually short
shocky: right and that's because your shots had too low of a flat trajectory because of the chicken wing stroke and also because you weren't driving with your legs fluidly thru the stroke...dude, your good to go now, can't wait to see you ball out this season
joel: thanks, really looking forward to playing with our improved talent this season, playing with devin askew is gonna be really fun
shocky: well, that's good to hear, i got high hopes for you joel, do you speak canadian?

u might b asking urself, shocky, wut in the california golden bears football program is the most important development to track this offseason spring prior to next month's march spring ball???
we need the remarkably hard working #63 brayden rohme to get well over 300+ lbs in order to perform as the absolutely necessary lockdown left tackle starter necessary for a 2023 cal monster offensive line, ok?
brayden along with cindo is the 1st guy to practice & the last guy to leave the o-line room at nite...his dad michael wuz a ucla offensive lineman back in the day & is currently a top detective with the city of phoenix keeping us all safe at nite
the 6'6" rohme has been undersized his entire career & susceptible to bull rushes, s&c coach brian johnson gotta get off his broken down non yoga teaching azz & get brayden over 300 lbs for spring ball...here's the gilbert native's listed weight history:
weight at birth: who knows, shocky don't know everything, get off my ******* azz
2018 perry high school: 250 lbs
2019 season roster: 260 lbs
2020 season roster: 280 lbs (not accurate played closer to 265 lbs)
2021 season roster: 285 lbs (not accurate, played closer to 270 lbs)
2022 spring game: 250+ lbs due to mono like illness last spring
2022 season roster: 285 lbs (not accurate, played last season at closer to 265-275 lbs)
2023 spring roster: 290 lbs
brayden rohme's lanky frame with length can support an ideal nfl weight of 310-315 lbs, coach bloesch knows this is critical in his quest to build a 2023 monster offensive line
note to the bearinsider editors: if ur not gonna interview the con artist, how about an interview with brayden rohme or brian johnson?We have a good one here in the 4th quarter!

that would be trent ramsey who is running with the 1s right now with matthew cindric & bastian swinney being held out of team drills
spoke with trent & his family on the field during the stanford big game celebration, he is a likable & intense young man that assured me he wuz gonna put on good weight during the fall conditioning & move up the depth chart...his dad tole me his ideal playing weight is 310 lbs...ramsey is beating the statistics for a guy with only 4 kinda disjointed fingers

jennifer simon o'neil monster profile:
when the monster wuz around the athletic department on a regular basis back during the cal's monster class days it was well known by multiple coaches in multiple different sports that teri mckeever wuz mentally abusing the women's swimmers but that she wuz enabled by her close friend (mckeever is her child's godmother) & athletic department chief of staff (#2 ranking bureaucrat) jennifer simon o'neil
with her close friendship with mckeever in mind simon o'neil is flat out lying when she's quoted in the munger report that she wuz not aware of any issues within the women's swimming program...wut???
and given that she is the #2 person in the cal athletic department it's hard to believe the con artist didn't know anything also but his ability to misread people & situations is remarkable as his annual average salary of $1,300,000+ thru 2029
simon-o'neil has taken a page out of the knowlton paranoid/lack of transparency playbook by not making any twitter posts in almost 2 years...she has also retroactively scrubbed her twitter free of any references to the women's swimming program...what athletic department in the united states of america got the 2 highest rankings employees not on twitter?
donating to these non communicative worthless bureaucrats that are myopically working to deemphasize the revenue sports in berkeley is akin to burning ur $$$$$$ in the dumpster behind haas, it is recommended that you withhold donations until andrew mcgraw is named the new athletic director
and this will happen, multiple different major donors have confirmed to me during the last week that chancellor chryst knows now she made a mistake extending james arthur knowlton & lacks confidence in his abilities/decision making
