Cal is #1 in the ACC followed by Florida State
Utah is #1 overall and #1 in the Big 12, followed by Arizona (#2 on both counts).
UCLA is #1 in the B1G, followed by USC, Oregon, and Washington.
Hawaii is #1 in the MWC followed by San Jose St.
Overall, the best showing by Cal in awhile and we look to be on the rise with our class next year. I really believe Polynesian players, from Hawaii and SoCal in particular, but Utah as well, can be a competitive advantage for us in the ACC. Note that 68 of the 96 players are linemen, especially DL, an area of Cal recruiting that has been weak. As I have said before, I really think a long term series with Hawaii would be strategic for us.
