Bears win another competitive recruiting battle, picking up 3 star Folsom QB over BYU and Utah

Greetings. Gorgeous day here in the Bay Area. Snuck 18 holes in this afternoon which was wonderful.Came back to some updates on Cal's targets:Hayden Stepp : Oregon is working to make it hard for him to say no to the Ducks. Toss up though Oregon will be hard to beatBrody Rudnicki: This one feels good. Truly a 2028 recruit but the vibes are positiveSam LeJeune: We're less from 24 hours from his decision. Very close between the Seminoles and the Bears. I had heard on Sunday, some of the doubts about FSUs coaching staff were nagging at him, however he has said he's going to go with his heart and guts. While it's a toss up, FSU may be where he wants to be. Even if he does select the Seminoles, I don't think his process is overDaJohn Yarborough: I think the same concerns LeJeune has with FSU are shared by Yarborough and in his case, I think it's a tipping point in Cal's favor. I don't believe UW is a factorUhila Wolfgramm: Another coin flip. BYU is close to home, a HC who really resonates with his family and it feels like the Cougars may have a slight lead at the moment. The more time he takes after his OV to Provo last weekend, the better for Cal to let the glow of that wear offEli Woodard: He originally decommitted from USC because he loved Miami. Their track record with WRs, their financial commitment and their national prestige are all real factors. That said, he really likes Cal, the staff and having his HS teammate here is not small pudding. UCLA is likely on the outside looking in. The latest I'm hearing is that he may be a slight Miami lean. He's going to announce soonBrayton Feister: As I've said over the last week, he feels like the Ducks to lose. Cal wants him and he feels the love but will it be enough?Jason Johnson: Announces next Monday, He's going to Texas.

There's a lot of misinformation out there from the national networksLet's recap:Uhila Wolfgramm - He's visiting BYU this weekend and will choose from Cal or the Cougars. Our intel says Oklahoma is not longer involvedMyles Baker - He's locked in at Cal. He's NOT going to visit LSU. UCLA? Wishful thinking from themHayden Stepp - He will not visit Georgia and is down to Cal and Oregon. Toss up at this pointEli Woodard - He is going to visit UCLA this weekend. IMO, this feels perfunctory for relationship reasons and perhaps his agent looking to see if the Bruins will come up with an even bigger number than what Miami has proposed for NIL. This feels very much like a Cal vs Hurricane battle and right now I like where the Bears sitDaJohn Yarborough - He's all over the map, both literally and figuratively. He loved Florida State and he's now headed up to Seattle to visit UW. Where he eventually commits is really hard to judge. Brody Rudnicki - The QB who plans to take a mission for a year, thus is really a 2028 recruit, visits BYU this weekend and is down to Utah, Cal and BYU. He announces next Wednesday the 24th. Coin tossJason Johnson - The crazily underrated DL visited LSU last weekend and is at Texas this weekend. He wants to decide in mid July. He really likes Cal, though the allure of the bluebloods and the risk that they can offer more in NIL looms. Hard to handicap but cautiously optimisticBrayton Feister - My gut tells me he's headed elsewhere. Cal likes him and feels good about him, so we will see how things shake out. Sam LeJeune - I'm little surprised he hasn't committed to Florida State. My guess is he has concerns about the coaching staff's job security and FSU as a program overall, however, I think he knows Cal is not a culture fit for him or his family and the distance is a factor. My guess is he ends up somewhere else than FSU but not Cal
