one of the great myths of cal football is that tosh recruited a top 5 class that would've led cal to a bcs football game...that's a view held by casual bears fan but isn't reality...half of tosh's dumb azz 2.5 gpa guys were gone for good within a couple of years, most would've never played as upperclassmen

tosh's guys often missed half of the spring ball practices & never fully developed because of schoolwork related problems...the end result was a spiraling downward program which eventually culminated in 22 guys being on academic probation

the funny irony of it all is that the recruiting trip that tosh no showed jt while cleaning out his desk & telling shaq & armistead not to come to cal was over a 2.3 gpa wide receiver in maryland...amazing

jacob peeler is the ethical tosh, a relentless recruiter that connects with high gpa student athletes


2015 bears commits:
austin aaron-3.8 gpa turned down duke, harvard & stanford 6'5" 52 catches/985 yds/13 tds
malik psalms-3.5 gpa 6'2" 175 lb lockdown cb 54 tackles 4.47 40

keith washington-3.8 gpa (4.1 unweighted gpa) ex duke commit
brandon singleton-3.8 gpa 4.46 40 blazer 38' vj

the current bears football staff is utilizing cal's academic reputation & longtime high # of guys in the nfl to our advantage

cal isn't for everyone but it's really not for 2.5 gpa dumb azzs

grant's inclusion of academic info in his insightful articles is as important as 40 times & rushing/receiving yardage records
