I'm going to take a break from the more existential questions about Cal Football and Cal Athletics in general to once again put myself in a position to be grossly embarrassed in December.Last year, I was "okay" with my attempt to be Nostradamus. I had three players who decommitted and ended up picking nine of the thirteen eventual HS recruits.With that expectation management, here we do:QB:None - I like the recently offered Jaxon Smolek but until and unless he visits, I think odds are he ends up elsewhere and the Bears look to the portal for QB for the 2nd season in a rowRB:Cameron Cook - This is going to come down to TCU vs. Cal and you never want to discount the hometown school but in the end, I think he decides to be a BearWR:Nyziah Hunter Mikal Harrison-Pilot: This will be another duel in Texas, this time with the SEC bound Longhorns. The parents love Cal, Burl's built a great relationship with the young man and the role in the offense MHP can play here will be more attractive than the hometown Horns. The P12s viability is a curve ball here as is the size and configuration of the UT recruiting classTE:Ben Marshall: The Tennesse product chooses CalBrady Nassar: Predicting a de-commit from Colorado and a focus on TE vs. DEOffensive Line:Zander Etsy: The recent offer is getting increased interest throughout the West but in the end stays close to home to study and play in BerkeleyOtherwise, I think you have a name that's not on the list at the moment and a portal transfer to give the Bears three OLDefensive Line/Tackle:Cameron Brandt: Turns down the empty seats and being part of the decline of the Shaw empire to come to CalAshton Sanders Edge/OLB:Jaeden Moore: This will be a dog fight until the end but Cal's passion for this powerful pass rusher eventually wins him overBlake Purchase: I'm not sure he wouldn't already be a verbal if USC and UCLA hadn't dropped a bomb last weekILB:Cade Uluave Defensive Back:RJ Jones Sailasa Vadrawale Maliki Crawford: This one feels inevitableJasiah Wagoner: To finish off the best DB recruiting class in recent Cal history
