Memo to Jeff Faraudo— Please consider scheduling coach Dykes for a live chat here after signing day has passed and the results are in. It is something that J Okanes used to do with JT and some of the players from time to time and seemed to be very popular. I am sure the regulars here have a lot of questions they would like to ask him. Hopefully Dykes’ answers will be much less cliche ridden and more informative than were JT’s!

…and Goff, Anderson, Whitehurt, sina and kragen do not count against the 26.

So I count 20 scholly’s taken with 6 available.

Go Bears.

Can’t forget that my favorite all-time player at Cal was a Crespi guy with the initials RW. The best WR on the team next year will be a Crespi guy. It’s been a good pipeline to Cal, though I will admit I know nothing about this kid visiting this weekend.

Since Crespi is my kids’ chief arch-rival (and we won this year in quadruple OT) if we miss out on any Crespi guys, that’s ok.

They can offer preferred walk-on status

Bear, oh, Bear! I hope Sonny D and Co can flip LJ.

per twitter: Jacobi Hunter a 3 star DE from Tx is also on an unofficial this weekend.

does it seem like if SD maintains his success rate in landing commits, we’re going to go over 26?

if McKinley, Allensworth(sp?) and C Hunt commit we’re at 25, counting V Egu’s de-commit.

does anyone know what happens then?

do they have to encourage one of the 2 stars to de-commit?

If they flip lj moore that will be tremendous news. He is coming up.

But i think he also announced his final two a few days ago and it was oklahoma and someone else.

We shall see.

Looking at the visits over the last few weeks on scout.com, Sonny’s basically gotten every 3 star or higher prospect who’s visited, to verbally commit. That’s incredible, and today’s visits are LOADED with talent. People always say “if we we can just get them here, the place sells itself.” Well, he’s getting them here, and it’s working. I would expect a great class with just about any new coach, as there’s always that excitement that comes along with “NEW” and guys know the coach will be here likely their whole careers, so that makes a difference, too, but Sonny has been really incredible. If we put up a solid .500+ season, next year we’ll have our pick of the litter. I’m excited. Go Bears.

LJ moore will be at cal (unofficial). He is coming with his parents. Good news.
