Sam Yoon

As Cal's Camp heads into the home stretch, it's a good moment to check in and see where the Bears stand with their remaining targets.

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.

Greetings from gay Paris. Instead of scouting WRs and TEs, I'm working on Burgundy's and Bordeauxs.Between bites of Epoisse and sips of a Haut-Medoc, I'm hearing Jackson Brown is ready to pop for the Bears. The decision is likely made, timing may be based on his continuing to enjoy the additional offers and attention. Look for Mom to put her foot down and an announcement to be made soon.That will have implications for Sam Yoon. I'll put myself out there and suggest that once Jackson announces that will lead to Sam following him to Berkeley. Such strong relationships with both of these young men and the staff and wouldn't want to bet against Angus and Wilcox to close them both out.We still feel good about Tyler Banks though he's pretty careful on what he tells folks (look for an upcoming interview with Moraga Bear) and I wouldn't be surprised to see another announcement on top of or in lieu of potential ones from the three above mentioned recruits before this week is out.A Bientot and Go Bears!
