RJ Jones was committed to Cal for five months, but after reopening his recruitment in August, he has now decided to join UCLA football next season.https://t.co/UUfAtRrWhn

Just like justyn martin. Winning begets winning.

This sucks on multiple levels - this guy was all Cal and trying to recruit for us. So what changed? Well for starters, he de-committed soon after the UCLA/USC move to B1G. I. Sure that weighed quite a bit - not knowing the future of your program. Add on to that the lackluster start we have and there was no reason for him to stay.

I really hope we kick their a** in Berkeley this year but I feel that they are going to kick ours and walk out with our 2 4* recruits and laugh their way into the B1G. TypiCal ending for Cal and Wilcox will again take all of this like a good whipping boy and say we need to play better, coach better, and recruit better. The only way all that happens is with a new staff and AD.

this rivalry we have with UCLA is really beginning to feel 1 sided.

Like everyone else, at this moment I'm inclined to interpret this in the worst possible light for the current staff but...maybe this also has something to do with us having a megastar true freshman RB who figures to start ahead of any HS RB in the country.

Why would a safety care who our running back is?

Oh whoops, I got him mixed up with someone else. Carry on with the entirely justifiable hating on this staff.

Money talks. UCLA has the B1G money and we don't. I would venture to guess that UCLA's Alumni give more to sports than Cal Alumni. They laugh at us for renovating our stadium while they just rent out the stadium we wish to be in January.

Outside of the WSU game, what part of Cal's "start" should have been different, especially from the defensive side of the ball? If anything, Notre Dame has gone on to show that the Cal effort against them, covering the spread, having a real chance to win, was an accomplishment.
If offensive guys are looking at Musgrave and saying "meh" I get it...but the other reasons I can buy into, as a collective argument...

It was just a matter of time.

Excitement, entertainment, proven hc, bright lights, stuff that impresses 18yo's.

The defense was really hurt by two of our best linemen (both our nose guards) going down before the season, yet has done enough to keep us in both the ND and Wazzu games. But the Wazzu game felt Holmoe-Esque. It doesn't matter how good the D is if we play like that. Talented defensive recruits won't want to be part of 1/2 of a good team.

Anyone see the latest UCLA promo and match it up to ours? Ours - library, learning, serious, dark. Theirs - not a single shot of learning going on, it's all celebration, brightness, movement, kids having fun. You think they did that by accident? Wonder what they had to do to get that pop rag to vote them #1 Uni?

Chip has them undefeated and beating Utah. Headed in right direction. Winning cures a lot of issues

UCLA has no less than 8 starters who transferred from other schools, along with a handful of key backups. Most of their best players are transfers.

We are like Rutgers here.

Buh gets a pass here?

We have to want to change - the current admin is doing nothing and letting the program die a slow, and painful (for us) death.

He made the right call. Bye Ott - it was fun while it lasted

Cal's alumni give more. Just check the budgets.

UCLA had 45 million in Athletic Department revenue last year. Cal had 93 million.

That is why UCLA has to move to the Big 10.

We just waste it on an Athletic Director who flushes our $millions down the toilet (paying him anything to ruin our athletics programs included).
