I know Chris Martin left a bad taste in some people's mouths, but he definitely helped with recruiting.

Moose seems like a loquacious fellow who is the type of friendly guy who people gravitate to...let's hope he can work his magic on Moala and Co.!

How exactly did Chris Martin help with recruiting? Owa was turned away because of his commitment, no?

Chris played a HUGE part in getting Allen to switch from bama, as well as Gabe King and of course Maynard..

This is a HUGE misconception going around this forum. Chris Martin had NO part in getting Allen to Cal.

[U]Allen came to Cal because of Maynard.[/U]
Quote: "It was really my brother's decision," said Allen, who was rated as the top high school defensive back in the country but will play wide receiver at Cal. "Wherever he was going to go, I was going to go."

[U]Maynard came to Cal because of Tedford.[/U]
Quote: Maynard, who along with Allen came to a summer camp at Cal a couple years ago, thought coach Jeff Tedford would provide him the best coaching. So the half brothers signed with Cal in February and made their way across the country from their hometown of Greensboro, N.C.

So the domino is really:
Zach Maynard comes to Cal due to Tedford.
Keenan Allen comes to Cal due to Maynard.
Gabe King comes to Cal due to Maynard and Allen.
Chris McCain comes to Cal due to Maynard, Allen, and King. (if I remember correctly, McCain was the final piece and not King).

Chris Martin had absolutely nothing to do with this. Allen would have gone to Alabama if Maynard never decided to come to Cal, regardless of whatever Chris Martin said.

I would add that Martin was Allen's roommate at the ARMY game. IMHO it is both the above and CM that landed Allen and CO...

I would say that if Zach Maynard decided to go to Alabama (or insert any other school here), Keenan Allen would be there with him right now.

How does that relate to the Crosswaithe/Jalil story, though? The link and the statement were made as if they related to each other and I don't see a connection.

Zach's decision was the primary factor for Keenan but not the only one. Zach didn't make his decision in a vacuum, either. Part of his choice had to do with Keenan's preferences, too. But Martin played one of the earliest roles in peaking Keenan's interest at Army Bowl week.

Didn't read the article referenced to know if it mentions this but Maynard camped at Cal while in high school and always liked Tedford and the Cal program. It made sense to be one he'd focus on. And Allen camped at Cal the summer before his senior year and liked it. Add together King's growing attraction to the program (while being more and more turned off by Oregon's pressure tactics), Martin being at Cal, McCain willing to consider a switch and Coach O's esteem for the program and it just made sense to make the move, especially with all the crap Keenan was taking from all side with his decision to reconsider Alabama.

Lol! Well played, Mr. Bond.

Maybe he's just confirming the rumor that "Cal Recruits Gain Rapport" or even "Cal Recruits Build Affinity"...

Cool article! The part at the end where they take jabs at each other is lol!

Glad to have both Alex Crosthwaite and Mustafa Jalil on the team. Great fits.

Quote:

Friday will mark the third championship game for both Crosthwaite and Jalil. With another year left at Cathedral, Jalil would like to graduate with four championships on his resume.

"Not too many guys can have four rings,'' he said. "Winning, for me, is icing on the cake. I love football and I'd still play if we were winless.''

That article is from over a year ago. Cathedral Catholic won that 3rd championship, and again the 4th Div. III San Diego section CIF championship in a row this year. Moose is coming to Cal with 4 championship rings on his giant mitts.
