Two OL's? TWO? When we need 5...every year?

---

They will add several from the portal. At least 4 IMO maybe 5.

---

So far, I am not impressed with portal OL's, ours at least. I hope it'll be different this year with a professional O coaching staff.

---

The best portal OL recruit I can recall was Barrett Miller in 2023. He was a guard at Stanford, but played LT at Cal and did a pretty good job. The other portal recruits on the OL have been pretty mediocre, and frequent penalty generators.

As far as HS OL recruits, I think the jury is out on Nick Morrow. He may have put on 50 lbs, but he still looks overmatched at times. I've wondered whether they would have been better off leaving him at his natural weight of 250 lbs and turning him into a linebacker. Remember Ted "Mad Stork" Hendricks for the Raiders? Morrow might have become that kind of guy.

---

Miller was "okay". I hope his brother turns out at least as good, but he needs work.
McDonald seemed to have some nasty in him; I liked that. A guy that could be on an All-Madden Team.
Session had one good season out of three, but at least he had that one.
Reimer: approached halfway decent... seemed to be his number they were calling on a lot of the flags.
Wykoff: was just never the player we had hoped he would be.

Vatikani: does this guy want to get in one good year, or what?

A lot of hope riding on Morrow and Williams.
Wasn't Ramsey a four-star as a prep? Something's amiss in our evals and our development.

We need a ****ing Larry Allen at guard. Who's the last really good guard we've had?

We need a Marvin Phillip at center

Coaching matters. And at long last, it seems, we have "coaches" who KNOW how to coach and recruit offense, and who KNOW how to coach and recruit OL

---

not positive, but I think Mekari played guard at Cal?
The think with Morrow and Williams isn't about how they performed this year, it's how they things play out as they add size to huge frames. Not saying that both or either are going to be great, but the big mistake was that Cal couldn't recruit well enough so that they could be in back up roles as redshirt freshmen.

I think in college, an average OL can be built with a good S&C coach and a good O-Line coach which can improve kids enough to be solid in college.

Other than maybe 20 ish teams, an average O-line won't expose you too much which is a big improvement for Cal!

cal's monster class recruiting update:

with the commitment of safety fresno state's julian neal to stanford, the most FUN defensive back coaches in the nation coach brown & coach watson are now focused on targeting washington safety transfer 6'4" 191 lbs tristan dunn from drizzly azz sumner washington, he got 2 years of remaining eligibility

tristan is NOT a dumb azz, despite a barely 3.0 gpa in hs due to not taking reading books & **** seriously, he's now all grown up (mentally limitless with ambition) & been an all pac 12 academic honoree

the university of california, berkeley=#1 ranked public university in the WORLD (including puget sound & unhealthy/overpriced starbucks)

He will have 3 years of eligibility, no? The new NCAA ruling for players who were at JC's or nin-NCAA schools is to have an additional year of eligibility granted.

I'd like to see the program re-establish the tradition of sending quarterbacks to the NFL early. I've would love to see him declare for the draft in two years and have another quarterback waiting in the wings. One thing that we've seen over the last decade is that we need quality backups ready to go whenever they're called.

barca, the ncca will appeal the court ruling re: expanded eligibility for junior college players, will be interesting to see how this all plays out

Former Ohio State quarterback Devin Brown has committed to Cal, sources tell me. He was the 5th best QB coming out of high school and was Ohio State's backup QB this past season.
