For the second straight weekend, the Bears garnered commitments from an amazingly high percentage of their official visitors and the first to announce their commitment publicly was Farrington (Honolulu, HA) High School interior lineman Koloi Keli‍.

“I just wanted to be a part of what coach Anae and the rest of the staff is building in Cal which is a poly pipeline!” Keli said after his commitment today.

The Hawaiian interior lineman also helds offers from Oregon, SMU, Michigan State, Arizona and more before choosing the Bears.

Stay tuned for more on Cal’s latest commitments coming soon.

Great track record for the Cal coaches. How are they pulling in all these recruits?

After decades of saying Cal should hire Poly OL and DL coaches from Hawaii and build a pipeline we are finally doing it (at least on the OL). We are geographically the closest D1 school to Hawaii with the shortest and cheapest airfares. Cal, UH, UCLA and San Jose State are the only D1 schools that are plurality Asian.

We should be trying to establish a long-running series with Hawaii.

Hopefully it becomes a self fulfilling loop where Poly players who come through Cal have a positive experience and serves to advertise that experience to future players so that they will also consider Cal as a (the?) place where they can go and thrive!
