Was between us and Hawaii for a preferred walk-on spot last I heard. Tell me we offered and he accepted.

No he's going to Eastern Washington.

I believe that he went to Eastern Washington. Not certain if he received a scholarship or not.....

If not, there's nothing wrong with it. There's no reason to panic and start offering lesser regarded athletes this year just to fill numbers. Better to hold the scholly for next season and bring in a player you think is more ready to play at this level.

Assuming we never came through with a scholarship offer

If you've seen any of his games, the kid's a baller, more than deserving for a scholly.

CF2 not sure who you've spoken with. But you couldn't be more wrong about Bruce. We need to stop worrying about who we didn't get and focus more on who we have.

First off, that is the opinion of other people, not me...second off, I'm not worried at all, I was just responding to someone's post.

Whatever the reason, I am a bit disappointed that he is not a Bear. I loved his passion for Cal and the fact that he is a legacy recruit.

No more Primo. But Kona Brewery Longboards are just fine.

Yeah, it's at my nearest Rite-Aid for about 12 bucks per 12-pack. Not exactly exclusive to the Bay Area and goes down pretty smooth and easy.

Is he a good friend of Treggs?

the much-ado at the end was who was giving him a scholarship between Cal and UCLA(and influencing Treggs and others accordingly?) Then, (and I believe I read this quote from from LA Times, but not certain)his father said he had a scholarship to go to E.Washington and get to play right way on OFFENSE. It didn't sound like Cal or UCLA saw him on that side of the ball?

He have to many small caorners we need to start recruiting in sec country we need to get big and fast not just fast we recruit small corners and safeties

If he wanted to play offense, more power to him for finding a school willing to take him and use him immediately. He did what was best for him.

Considering Oregon State lost two CB commits to other schools (one to USC and one to UW)at the last minute basically, I would think OSU's offer was still good, no?

Did he really want to play WR that much to pass up a chance play in Pac12?
