Of course size isn't everything, but we should be much bigger and stronger on the offensive and defensive lines in 2013 and 2014.

Post-spring 1st team in bold.


12 of our heaviest players are now listed as being shorter than what they were listed at as recruits. A couple more players with exaggerated HS numbers:

6'1" 230 FR* Puka Lopa DL (6'3" 255 3*)
6'4" 220 SO Antoine Davis LB (6'5" 225 JC Transfer)

puka lopa is 248.

Schwenke is only 250???

6'9" and 340 for Tagaloa?! Can that be accurate? As a true freshman... wow.

He was listed at 250 lbs. in High School. He's listed at 300 lbs. now. The numbers in parenthesis were taken off of rivals recruiting lists:

Could be... I just posted what's listed in the media guide. He's 248 on the Cal Athletics website. The media guide could have more errors.

Some of our players are shrinking. FIRE BLASQUEZ!

Whoa. Tagaloa gained 40 pounds? Dude hasn't even entered school yet and is already past the Freshman 15.

I thought Ross Anderson was committed too Nevada ? That's that 6'5" QB from moraga ?

Recent top Linebackers at Cal:

Desmond Bishop: 6'2" 238 lbs.
Zach Follett: 6'1" 236 lbs.
Mike Mohamed: 6'3" 239 lbs.
Mychal Kendricks: 5'11" 239 lbs.

235-240 lbs. seems to be the sweet spot for Cal linebackers.

Another one in that mold...
Lawrence Taylor: 6'3" 237 lbs.

Big and strong enough to stuff RBs coming through holes.
Quick enough not to get faked out by RBs.
Fast enough to cut off RBs at the sidelines.
Fast enough to cover TEs and RBs on pass routes.
Quick enough to get past OLs on blitzes.

McCain needs to beef up. I can't understand why he lost weight since last year. Wilkerson also lost weight.

mccain needs to put on at least 15 pounds.
