Jon Wilner and the Mercury news recently reported the academic requirements for incoming University of California students will "greatly ease some admissions requirements for fall 2020 and beyond" due to the current novel coronavirus. He further wondered whether this could impact the bear's 2021 recruiting class by expanding the number of qualified and admittable applicants. Any thoughts from Staff/Insiders? Are there any good to great guys that were on the peripheries of qualification or were looking to shore up their grades over this next year? Basically, is there anyone in particular who comes to mind that you would love to add to this recruiting class who is now in play or significantly more so with this new announcement?
Edits: First edit to correct the recruiting class impact to 2021. Second to explain edit and note that this is a system wide UC policy that will benefit the baby bears (formerly, and always, the Southern Branch Grizzlies) and chip kelly as well.
I'll look to see if I can find the article/tweet. I just had it somewhere, it's probably hidden in my tabs
