according to new rivals article, CB Ronald Darby (ND commit) and CB Daje Johnson (TCU commit, sparq combine extraordinaire) both have said they would take an official to Cal at some point

4* Darby is out of Maryland
3* Johnson is out of Texas

exciting.

Darby is a baller. If he and Tee Shepard both do end up at ND, that will be a pretty amazing CB tandem.

It doesn't hurt that Steph McClure as a true freshman is going to get on the field, that we are likely to have great safeties over the next two three years and that playing in the pac they play in a conference historically known for good offenses to show themselves.

Yes, let's get McClure and Sebastion out there. Can't do any worse than Catthouse (sp? ) and company

I can swallow losing more if we are losing with freshmen, because I believe playing them will make them better.

Getting Darby out here is huge, hope we get him, Stefon Diggs, Goldman, Hamilton, Yuri Wright out here on the same weekend along with Shaq. That defensive lineup would be impressive.

I say tee shep and darby come out here, that would be nice.

Daje Johnson is the real deal. Amazing athlete. Slot WR or CB, possible free safety rover if he we increase physicality.

I wish Texas would turn up the heat and recruit him, but their eyes are elsewhere.

An asset to whichever program he ends up in.

with his athletic abilities, it seems he is quite versatile. but the only knock ive heard against him is that he's undersized; i've read he's anywhere from 5'8-5'10 depending who you ask

Given his absurd athletic ability and low ranking, probably on the short side. I say 5'8''

Cal coach Jeff Tedford and staff are out to lure top prospects committed elsewhere to campus for official visits - and the plan seems to be working. More in this week's West Coast Whispers.

For whatever it is worth, Daje Johnson is apparently on campus at Texas today for a visit. Pretty sure it is an informal visit or whatever the term is for the non-officials.
