Quinn Tedford said Maurice Harris has the best hands he's ever seen. So he's not Philip Pipersburg (that's for you old blues).

Our two deeps will be sick with Harris, KA, and Treggs, the first three and Powe, Lawler and one of Dozier/Harper being the last. I could see that maybe one or two of the second deeps might be blue shirted, just so they don't waste a year when they don't get much Pt at that point, but I love teh starting 4+. We went from a nearly empty barn to a bunch of race horses. <br /><br />Don't get mad, get even.

The WR who earns it in practice - time will tell.

I think at least 2 of the freshman will "play" (that is not redshirt) so we have some depth in case of injury. One of them will likely be a djax type of deep threat.

Don't forget Bryce McGovern. The kid's a stud, just needs to learn how to block.

In high school I was playing free safety and Pipersburg scored a touchdown on me. A few years later when I family made it to Cal he was no longer playing and I always wondered what happened with him.

at least you didn't say Holden Smith. Yeah, I bet Harris with Treggs getting major playing time, or, as posted, in the slot..

Bouza over McGovern.

This is a great class of WR's but please don't anybody put pressure on any of them to be the next DJax. He was one of a kind and NONE of these kids have his breakaway sped. Check their 40 times and you will see. They all can catch the ball and with Powe and Lawler we get some needed size to replace KA when he's gone.<br /><br />They are going to be a great bunch of players.

I say Mo Harris will be opposite KA with possibly Rogers at TE.<br /><br />If Tedford can borrow 10-15 pages from Wes Chandler's "Air Coryell" playbook and mix in some modern-day uptempo pace, we might have an X-factor Offense to deal with the PAC-!2 North.

Diggs .....

Floyd Eddings and Holden Smith!!!

Top quality talent and character, that's who. Name em, we now have it. I am pumped.<br />Go Bears!

So we played the next week with a fourth string walkon or something like that and we got hammered at the Farm (even though Deltha single handedly tried to keep us in it). That was when the riot police assembled arm in arm and stood before us at the start of the 4th quarter, because in 1997 we tore the goal posts down. That was a killjoy having to see all that riot police as we're trying to enjoy a football game. Stinkin Furds.

in terms of stretching the field, will Dozier be the fastest WR on the team?

Thank you.<br /><br />I have recounted on this board about that stretch of years when Cal fans attacked the tree at Cal, then at Furd, then at Cal. The tree-cutters were finally stopped that 3rd year when Stanford hid rugby type players in with the band, and when the rush of drunken students leaped out from the student section, these big dudes dropped their instruments (fake players) and pummeled the kids with solid punches on the ground. It was kinda ugly looking!<br /><br />But the year before, we tore the tree to pieces at Furd after moving laterally thru the stands past the blockade of ushers in the Stanford North Endzone, gaining entrance to the field at the 50 yard line. A linear stream of blue and gold could be seen cutting thru the red and white from up high in the endzone. The majority of the Cal fans remained there and watched and cheered what was happening at the far South endzone (tree torn to bits). Meanwhile, the low, field level, security force which was positioned to trap all of us in the endzone couldn't understand why we were cheering. It was hilarious, and Cal fans stayed long after the game, despite getting crushed in the contest. The ending was worth the defeat!<br /><br />Literally, patches of green could be seen rising above the mass commotion of blue, red, gold, and white, like ashes over a smoldering fire. Like I said, the next year at Cal, the Band brought the fight club in and I haven't seen it since.

I don't know about you guys, but if we land Diggs I am going to feel great about this class.<br /><br />Diggs is a freak. He looks like Desean on offense, and could give Shaq a real run for his money on defense.<br /><br />Diggs + Harris + Treggs + Kline = Smoking opposing defenses in 2013.

Is Diggs even in play? I didn't see him sign and I know he liked us but I thought we were out a while ago.

He said that he wasn't going to decide until after signing day.<br /><br />He is making his decision like an adult. No public twitter, no flip-flopping, etc. Thus, we have no idea what he is going to do. But as far as I know, we have not been eliminated.

<blockquote><div class="name-said">mbBear;701827 said:</div><hr>in terms of stretching the field, will Dozier be the fastest WR on the team?<hr></blockquote><br /><br />I don't think so. However, we don't have a pure burner WR w/ elite speed like a Djax, Percy Harvin, or DAT, so I don't think there is a huge difference in speed between the Cal WRs. Cal scholarship WRs do have some size though: <br /><br />Allen: 6-3<br />Harris: 6-3<br />Lawler: 6-3<br />Powe: 6-2<br />Harper: 6-0<br />Treggs: 5-11<br />Dozier: 5-11<br /><br /><br />Obviously, track speed and speed in pads is not the same thing, but track times can give a general idea. Dozier's best 100m time is 11.56. Treggs has run an 11.11. Based on track times and highlight video from in-game footage, I'd say Treggs is a WR that can stretch the field more than Dozier. <br /><br />Tedford said that Dozier will come in as a WR/ATH which makes sense because he is so versatile. He was primarily an option QB in high school and has good open-field vision and quickness. I can see him excelling in that role.

Could be anyone of them.<br /><br />Who thought Moose was going to pass up everyone?<br />Who thought McCain would fill out pass up everyone as a true frosh?

maybe we don't have a 4.2 40 guy. ok. Just watch kenny lawler's highlight tape and tell me he is not REALLY fast. <br /><br />same with treggs. These guys can really run. Lawler looks like a true burner. The way he explodes off the line reminds me of djax.

I missed (and maybe you did too)Clay. If he becomes eligible, he is number uno in terms of pure speed...

Why limit it to one guy? I am thinking about maybe a year from now (2013) -- we put Kline back in the gun with four these new WRs out and our strong new OLine guys up front protecting. Then we can take real advantage of all the speed and strength of the offensive guys added in this class.

If that happened, I say we would look a lot like the current Arkansas Razorbacks with QB Kline as Taylor Wilson throwing to one of the Nation's best WR Corp. I see a lot of similarities (I've already compared Kline to Wilson before) and consider Arkansas to have a deadly offense (they are both uptempo and surprisingly run/pass balanced)....but I think Tedford will somehow ruin my fantasy in some manner.

Definitely. Tedford said Clay is almost as fast as Best and Jackson. Not quite as fast, but who is? All reports indicated that he can really streth the field.

Clay said he isn't coming back to cal on twitter about a month ago but who knows.

Beware of assessing players' speed based on high school tape, ESPECIALLY highlight tape. A guy who runs a legit 4.6 can look like Ussain Bolt in football cleats, depending on the competition.

Agreed it would be great to get a guy with lightning speed in the WR position a la Desean.
