Any opinions?
That information isn't up to date. It is between us, Oregon, and Georgia. I heard he had a great visit with us and has remained committed. However, he has ties to Oregon players and Georgia is trying to woo him next weekend. If I had to guess...
50% Cal
25% Oregon
25% Georgia
Remember who showed you love first when no one else cared!

... and yet they are easy to look at. Isn't life an endless series of contradictions!
I've said this once, but when I was reading the Georgia boards re:Sagapolutele, they seemed to be getting a kick out of butchering his name. Here's hoping we don't stoop to that junk. I know we've had a ton of players and staff with similar backgrounds, but not at this high of a profile.
Selfishly, I hope he comes to Cal, but for the life of me I can't understand how any top tier HS player could look at this program and want to any part of what Wilcox is serving up.

Do you feel quarterbacks aren't being developed at Cal? What are top HS QB recruits looking for?
It is a long trip from Hawaii to the West coast (Cal/Oregon). It is an even longer trip (and bigger cultural shift) to get to Georgia.
Cal has a lot to offer in terms of culture (both team and university), academics, QB development (Nando has far exceeded his recruiting profile), geography/weather/demographics, and playing time. There are some negatives compared to Oregon/Georgia, but there are lot of positives at Cal those other schools don't have.
One of the things to keep in mind. Mendoza has had a really good year yet Cal gave Rogers some run. That helps in bringing in a young guy who wants to play early. My guess is they're telling him they'd like to give him similar playing time opportunities early. That won't happen at Oregon were Dante Moore and others are in the queue, not to mention that Oregon may add a qb from the portal again (like they did this year).

What are top recruits looking for? Oh, I don't know, maybe playing for a winning team? Maybe not having to run for their life every play? Maybe not playing in front of a half empty stadium every Saturday? Are you arguing that these are desirable qualities? Or is it just that the Wilcox QB to NFL pipleline is enough of a draw for these kids?oski003 said:CalConor said:

The last part is likely the biggest factor for JKS. At Oregon, he might be competing every year against an older QB who starred for another college team the previous year. Cal can credibly promise that JKS will have every opportunity to start and they won't bring in a portal QB to compete with him, i.e. would only bring one in if JKS is injured or hasn't succeeded after getting opportunities.BearGoggles said:

Some of your negatives are balanced by what BG posted above and some are simply not true. Cal's pass blocking is probably a little below average. It isn't atrocious. Our run blocking is bad although the Jet averages almost 6 ypc. We also have won more games than we lost this season, which is in itself the definition of a winning team. I do agree that we aren't a top program who draws large local crowds.
Well, you probably won't be able to say we're a winning team this time next week. Just like last year, and the year before that, and the year before that, and the year before that. Cal is not a winning program in the Wilcox era. That's not a hot take. It's just a fact. Academics is the only advantage we have.oski003 said:CalConor said:What are top recruits looking for?

Lol. My bad! I forgot that top tier recruits love playing for losing teams in half empty stadiums! Thanks for sharing ur vast knowledge# on the topic!Shocky1 said:

No kidding! Look at Wilcox's career conference record. Coaches with that record are now coordinators, at a lower level, ADs, announcers or retired.CalConor said:Well, you probably won't be able to say we're a winning team this time next week.

Probably a pretty hard question considering the OC's that Wilcox has gone through. If you are asking from a Cal "historical perspective," then you can fall back on the QB's that Cal has had in fact played in the Super Bowl, etc...oski003 said:CalConor said:

Yes, "easy to look at", if one isn't actually hoping that there will be 'inside fb or recruiting information' to actually "read."
