Spoke with Antoine Albert tonight, he said he came up one class short of qualifying, will have to complete that class before he can don the blue and gold. He said he'll join the team in May once he finishes up the class at DVC, but plans to be on the field for practices during the spring supporting his teammates-to-be. Said he also plans to spend a lot of time in the film/weight room getting his body/mind ready.

Think he could've been a day 1 starter with a good spring to get the JuCo kinks out, but not getting here until summer could impact that (as we saw it did with a lot of the late-arriving JuCo guys last year). He's still signed and sealed and putting himself all in, which is the really good news, but it's a bit of little bit of a body blow when it comes to remaking the secondary.

All the TV, radio, etc info you need for tonight's game, plus who's re-joining the starting lineup???

Gameday Central

Cal's men BB team's season is going in the toilet (I watched them last night; they are the most boring team ever; moreover, they have not adjusted to the adjustments everyone has made on them after they started well, which means in part coaching is not great - we are going to get rolled by UA), which will undoubtedlky make it harder to pull the star recruits we've been talking about for a while and Cal's FB recruiting also appears to be going in the toilet with our recruits getting poached left and right or not having the classes required (I always wonder how this is possible - it can't be that hard to determine can it?) as a prelude to yet another long season next year.

Is there any good news out there? Anyone?

second to ucla in the pac-12

time is now sonny

SDSU commit Ronley Lakalaka, Kanawai Noa's Punahou teammate. Rated a 3-star LB by another site, which I mention here because the number of recruiting sites that actually see the Hawaii kids are pretty limited, so just to give you an idea of where he registers elsewhere.

Has offers from SDSU and Hawaii right now, said Cal and WSU have offered as well but we're trying to confirm those. Highlights here. Brother is a RB at Hawaii right now.

Johnny Capra, Dwaine Thomas, and JJ Nwigwe are all out, Golden West CC kicker Dylan Klumph is in, and all of the other big pieces (Buncom, Ude, AD Miller, Brandon Singleton, Jaylinn Hawkins, Ja'Marcus Bradley) are all still 100% in, too. Monster week. Full list here and below:


Jan 23-25
- Cal WR commit Austin Aaron
- Cal WR commit Greyson Bankhead
- DB Frank Buncom
- ATH Ja'Marcus Bradley
- Cal OL commit Ryan Gibson
- ATH Jaylinn Hawkins
- Cal DE commit Trevor Howard
- Cal DE Zeandae Johnson
- Kicker Dylan Klumph
- WR AD Miller
- Cal WR commit Kanawai Noa
- Cal DB commit Malik Psalms
- Cal DB commit Evan Rambo
- Cal DE commit Cameron Saffle
- WR Brandon Singleton
- Cal DE commit Russell Ude

In the final game, Moreau Catholic beat Mitty in a tight game. Moreau was led by Cal 2016 commit, Frayer, and offeree, 2017 PG, Mitstead. Mitty was led by Ben Kone who probably has a Cal offer. As a sophomore, Milstead is rated as one of the country's top PGs. Cal can have good recruiting classes with No. Calif. players.

Tyler Dorsey scores 43 to lead Maranatha past Whittier Christian http://fb.me/48Ftd3zPK


The 6-foot-5 wingman scored 30 of his game-high 43 points in the final three quarters, making 11 of 15 shots, including five 3-pointers. He shot 14 for 23 for the game with seven 3-pointers.

Will get a visit from new Michigan head coach Jim Harbaugh today.

I fully expect to beat ASU on thursday. If we lose, I may stay in bed indefinitely.

Moreau Catholic 2017 PG Damari Milstead will be on campus at Stanford for the Stanford vs Arizona game today

A source close to the team told me earlier that Coach Martin plans to start Jabari tonight.

Per a source, Capra has flipped from Cal to Utah. First casualty of the 2015 class, pretty big shocker.

In case you feel bad about Cal football recruiting, comparing it to Oregon State will make you feel much better.

With Coach Riley out and Coach Andersen in, there has been the expected turmoil with recruits. Earlier in December, Oregon State had 17 recruits. As of tonight, they are down to 11 given the decommitment of TE Matt Snyder (flipped to Nebraska) and the loss of one of their top DB commits Demeon Baber (article linked) which may be due to loss of interest by the new staff.

Of the 11 commits they do still have, 7 of the 11 are 2 star commits. Ouch.

Going to be interesting to see how Coach Andersen can close out the recruiting season until NSD.

woo hoo! maybe it's wishful thinking, but I can't imagine the furd has any prayer of winning the north. though I suppose everyone should be down next year from last year besides us.

2016 Mississippi stud DeKaylin Metcalf. Offered as a WR. Watch these highlights.

Bio here

Heard from a source that Cal men's basketball coaches watched Jade Smith play tonight, and loved him. He's class of 2017. 5'10" freshman; really impressed them. Plays for St. Joseph Notre Dame HS in Alameda, so local kid.

Grant, Mark,

Did Josh Smith visit yesterday?

Jwc...

The former Cal kicker is going to be on Survivor.

Of course he is

Things just got a bit more complicated for Georgia Tech WR commit Brandon Singleton (background on him in The Big Board if you need a refresher). Picked up an Arkansas offer today.

copy/paste fail by espn recruiting analyst. droski, didn't you say that Gerry Hamilton is Jim McShill's espn pen name?

whoops

There was an interesting article this morning in the CC Times about the new academic rules Janet N is imposing on the PAC 12 which affect the compensation of ADs and coaches, It dawned on me that such rules may turn out to be tougher on Cal athletics, because a 2.0 average at Cal with a decent course load requirement is harder to achieve and realistically different than most other PAC schools. Cal is known as a school that puts enormous pressure on it undergrads, with tough grading and lots of work to be done in a very competitive academic environment. No wonder Sonny is recruiting scholars instead of athletes.

Not saying you were responsible but I am just wondering how:
A) Lonny Powell didn't make the top 250
B) ross bowers didn't get a 4th star

Also those semper fi QBs got rating bumps despite not being able to hit the back of a barn in the bowl game

Rivals is much more accurate than espn 247 and scout when it comes to rankings

I would just like to hear the explanation for Powell and bowers

I was perusing an article on the Web about Steph Curry's bet with his mother (whereby he pays her $100 per turnover for "excess turnovers") when I noticed an advert/link for a blurb entited "Hottest College Sororities by School: The list may surprise you." (It certainly did.)

I had to click on it, and it took me to a website called "americanlivewire.com." The link is set forth below. The first photo was of some gals who are purported to be from USC. The second photo (which I am trying to paster here and which I hope comes through) purports to be of the "hot sorority girls" from Stanford. LOL, check out the photo! Moreover, check out the caption, which is just too funny. "Ivy League." "Hottest babes." ROFL. I don't think this is gonna set off any tsunamis.


http://americanlivewire.com/2014-09-13-hottest-college-frat-girls-school-list-may-surprise-2/









Brains and beauty don't always go together, but in this case they absolutely do. Stanford is one of the most prestigious schools in the Ivy League but beyond that, the school is also home to some of the hottest babes in the country. If a degree from a prestigious college wasn't enough reason to go to Stanford, the girls should give you another to aim high.
