This action is likely the result of a long burning fuse. Reflect of the disappointing (perhaps poor) performance in the field and the recruiting emphasis on the exceptionally talented TE from Washington.
These things don't happen without a reason. Next man Up!

It's not like we have a right end who is doing anything great. They all are equally not stellar. This guy was a great prospect who hasn't shown any development (like the rest of our offensive players).
This smells of not football related or the kid is over football. Best wishes to him.UrsineMaximus said:
It did appear that he was having some issues with the dropsies in camp as well as one in game (not targeted much). And it sure looked like the other TEs were making more of a contribution.
But how the hell does a TE that was supposedly taking our D to task last year while on the scout team all of a sudden decide to leave the team (especially after such a historic win)? Who knows but it does continue a trend of offensive players leaving Cal on the first bus available.
Opens the door for Alftin who is a unique athlete.
Probably surprised his own production hasn't lived up to fan board expectations (which were largely based on his cool-sounding name and "reputed" athleticism). I blame nobody.NYCGOBEARS said:
Probably doesn't want to be a blocker on a run first team with no downfield passing. Also, I blame Tui.
Maybe he had to protect the king.Intuit said:

Eh I'd argue that Reinwald, Brown, and Dancy have definitely developed. Also isn't our O young across the board? How much development would we realistically expect there?

Fair point but I've heard for the past couple years now how important the TE is to Beau and his multiple offense ... yet I haven't seen any memorable production from this spot despite the number of guys they've recruited there.

Guess he just wasn't Berkeley EnoughBig C said:
Sounds like his next team will be more passing, less Berkekey.

He's probably a fine young man, but note that it is standard procedure to say good things about the organization that one is leaving, when starting to market one's self to new organizations.
To CalPaTroll: He was dropping passes. Can't blame this one on the QB. (Could be he has been wide open and the QB hasn't been seeing him, too, I dunno.).

It isn't. As he said, the fit wasn't right. I wish him the best going forward.........CalPaTroll said:Big C said:

Big C I know you've been watching the passes like I have. I would think catching a spiral would be easier than a ball that comes in sideways......hard to believe a 4 star athlete who was part of an epic win decides to leave the program. Maybe Berkeley is not for everyone..
