Jahlil Florence

Another week closer to the season starting and a week out from Fall Camp.Big BBQ for both 2022 and 2023 recruits coming up - see MBs details hereDecent chance that Cal exits the weekend (inclusive of Monday) with two announcements and just perhaps the two positions generating the most anxiety - DB and OL - won't be so angsty.The offer of DB Jahlil Florence is an interesting one. A superb athlete with wonderful size for the position. As high a ceiling as you will see but also a pretty low floor given his inexperience with Football. Comes from a very academically minded family which may allow Cal to sneak into the race alongside Michigan, UW and Oregon. UCLA has two other corners already with offers, both of whom the Bruins feel good about. That may allow the Bears to be the high academic, closest to home option. It also puts pressure on Jeremiah Earby and Cameron Sidney as DB spots are few and far between in this class. We continue to hear that Jake Maikkula, Sam Yoon and Jackson Brown are all closing in on a decision. Maikkula told us perhaps tomorrow, perhaps not. Our sense is he may take a bit more time. Brown is attending the BBQ and that has to feel good for the Cal staff. Yoon continues to analyze his priority preferences and the remaining slots at those schools. This next week likely will tell us a lot about how the OL class comes together for the Bears.
