I’m happy for Robert Jordan that he is recieving positive recognition for his talents. He has been kind of overlooked and under-rated at Cal in the shadow of DJ and Lavelle Hawkins. I was also kind of hoping that he would stay a bit under the radar, thinking that the Raiders might take him as a late round draft choice. Being Jamarcus Russell’s cousin, I’m pretty sure the Raiders and Kiffin (having coached against Cal) were aware of him. I remember him making a lot of tough catches at Cal and his recent performances in Cal’s bowl game and the Aloha Bowl might move him up to a 4th round pick.

I think part of the
reason for the last minute announcement IS DeSeans flair for the dramatic and wanting all the atte ntion he can get. Tomorrow, very conveniently, will be a very slow day as far as sports news goes. The past few days all the focus was on the NFL playoffs and today the results are the main sports topic of discussion. Not much going on sports-wise today or tomorrow, the perfect day for DeSean to have the spotlight all to himself.

Juice, DeSean wouldn’t be the first early-entry guy to stop going to class. I do recall after one practice during the season, I wanted to talk to him and he declined because he said he had to write a paper. I hadn’t heard about the OSU thing with Riley and I find it very hard to believe.

Juice, I heard the same thing from two different sources about Desean not going to classes. He’s down in LA right now. If for whatever reason I’m wrong and he chooses to come back to Cal, I’ll wear a “I LOVE TEDFORD’s QB DECISIONS” shirt to the next Big Game (and if you’ve read my other posts you know this is the last thing I want to do).

The onyl reason I could see DJ satying is because he was very disappointed in his junior season and wants to come back in 08 to win the Heisman. We’re not talking about Mr. Team Player here…

Im really happy and pleased with Jordens play in the Hula bowl. For three years now his skills have been overlooked by most of the country, and it just proves how good the three at cal really are. I am very happy and excited to see Robert do well in the NFL.

Jonathan:
I had heard that Desean stopped going to class awhile back…probably in anticipation of going pro….which would doom him if he later decided that he may want to stay. Have you heard anything similar?

I had also heard that Desean had verbally undressed Kevin Riley in the locker room in front of the team after the Oregon St. game….and that the only thing worse is that JK didn’t do anything about it. Was wondering if you had heard anything about this?

JO –
How often are the “I am leaving” press conferences held on campus – could that be a sign he is staying?

I suppose all us Cal fans should lock our hands and pray for Desean to come back. Would be so awesome if he did. I’ll cheer for you no matter what path you choose, Desean, but I’d love to see you back in blue and gold next season.
