Ever since BI stopped accepting Paypal I've been off Bear Insider and haven't heard much recruiting talk lately.

But it's one week until the first early LOI signing period.
Will Cal have a similar on line signing day feed? Like they had in February?

Seems like it is time to make the info available to interested Cal fans, even those not
subscribing to Insider. Is the AD waiting to surprise Cal fans?

My perception is that the class is largely the guys we all know about and that there are no late 4/5 star surprises. If anything, we're mining for hidden nuggets at this point in time.

Still, unless they are planned as early enrollees, some verbals may defer until February and at least create some discussion as to why they are waiting...

Nationally, the expectation is that 70% of all recruits will sign next week. It will be interesting if that turns out to be the case and whether Cal fits that profile

Considering all the coaching turnover I'm disappointed that we don't pick up at least one or two guys.

Could be a possible reason we haven't gone after them is that they might not have met the academic standards Wilcox & Co. require.

Or the one's who do pass muster academically aren't the right fit in terms of position. Or had already rejected Cal for whatever reason.

No first hand information, just speculating.

All or virtually all of the Cal commits plan to sign next week.

Will there be any AD announcements or tracking like on past FEB LOI Days?

Looks like Shrout just got offered by Tennessee...any chance he'll flip or is he expected to sign next week as well?

Mafi was just offered by UCLA

Tenn just lost Martinez so they need someone. Not surprising to get an offer. But If you were going to a program with an untested d-coordinator taking over would you want to do that in the SEC east?
