I’ll be up early Wednesday to begin posting updates on Cal’s signings as they come in.

Check back here as we unveil the official news on the newest Bears.

Coach Sonny Dykes has scheduled a press conference for 1 p.m. Wednesday, where we’ll get his take on his first recruiting class.

It seems Cal and Oregon will go 1-1 in head-to-head competition for recruits on Wednesday, when prospects can sign their letters of intent.

LB Johnny Ragin III of Wilsonville, Ore., confirmed his commitment to Cal via Twitter on Monday night: “Oregon was the dream growin’ up, and I had a nice visit. But My Future’s at Cal and I can’t wait to get there and go to work. #GoBears.”

Meanwhile, four-star OG Cameron Hunt of Centennial-Corona seems almost certain to sign with Oregon. Hunt tweeted Monday that he did not decommit from a new Cal coaching staff with whom he never gave a commitment. Sounds like the Ducks to me.

Also, four-star DB L.J. Moore of Central-Fresno apparently will choose between Arizona State and Oregon State. Earlier, Greg Biggins and Brandon Huffman of Scout.com both projected Cal. Now they’re saying either the Sun Devils or Beavers.

Just exchanged texts with Cal commit Darius Allensworth, who said, “I never decommitted! But I am solid with Cal.”

The four-star CB from Heritage HS in Romoland (Riverside County) left a little doubt after making an official visit two weekends ago to Washington State, then never publicly confirmed he still was headed to Cal.

Now it seems clear he will sign with the Bears next Wednesday.

That leaves four prospects still undecided:

– Four-star OG Cameron Hunt of Centennial-Corona committed to Cal in July, but has been seriously wooed in recent weeks by Oregon. He said he will announce on signing day. Two Scout.com recruiting experts believe he will choose the Ducks.

– Four-star CB L.J. Moore of Central-Fresno, a former high school teammate of Cal running back Brendan Bigelow, is believed to be leaning toward the Bears.

– Three-star safety Patrick Enewally of Gahr-Cerritos, seemingly will choose between Cal and Washington.

– Three-star OLB Johnny Ragin III of Wilsonville, Ore., who flipped from BYU to Cal last week, now is facing a strong push from the in-state Ducks.

The Bears picked up three more oral commitments last weekend, but seemingly did not get the news most important to them.

Cameron Hunt, a four-star offensive guard from Centennial-Corona, was among the prospects who made official campus visits. But no word from Hunt confirming his earlier commitment.

Meanwhile, recruiting experts Brandon Huffman and Greg Biggins of Scout.com both are projecting that Hunt will announce Oregon on signing day, a week from Wednesday.

This is a big one for Cal. The Bears have O-line needs and Hunt is one of their best commits. Scout rates Hunt as the No. 15 OG prospect in the country.

The news may be better for Cal on L.J. Moore, a four-star cornerback from Central-Fresno. Moore is considering Oklahoma State, Arizona State, Colorado, Arkansas and UCLA, but Huffman and Biggins are both expecting him to choose the Bears on signing day. 

Moore is rated by Scout as the nation’s No. 24 cornerback prospect.

Scout.com is reporting that Jacobi Hunter, a 6-foot, 285-pound defensive tackle from Cypress Falls HS in Houston, Texas, has committed to Cal.

De La Salle HS standout Victor Egu talked with BANG’s Stephanie Hammon about his decision to flip from Cal to Yale. Click here for her report.

UPDATED

It’s the second-to-last weekend before signing day on Feb. 6, and Cal coach Sonny Dykes will have prospects on campus.

None is more critical than four-star offensive guard Cameron Hunt of Centennial-Corona, who committed last fall but is being aggressively pursued by Oregon. Hunt is on campus this weekend, and Brandon Huffman of Scout.com told me, “The big one is holding onto Hunt.”

Huffman said that Gahr-Cerritos cornerback Patrick Enewally is making an unofficial visit to Cal and he believes the Bears have a shot at stealing the three-star prospect from UCLA. Enewally is expected to announce his decision by Sunday.

Rivals.com reports that Raymond Davison, a 6-2, 218-pound weakside defensive end from Crespi-Encino, and Marcus Manley, a 6-2, 279-pound defensive tackle from Santa Monica CC, both will check out the Berkeley campus.

Davison is a three-star prospect who originally committed to Northwestern, but now is open.

Also visiting is DE commit Takkarist McKinley of Kennedy-Richmond. McKinley checked out Washington State last weekend and reportedly plans to visit UCLA a week from now, although it”s unclear whether the Bruins will have an available scholarship for him. Either way, this is big chance for Dykes to try to seal the deal with a strong local prospect.

Possibly visiting is Jamal Morrow, a 5-8, 18-pound running back from Heritage-Romoland, who is committed to Washington State. The three-star player visited WSU last weekend.

Also, De La Salle outside linebacker Victor Egu no longer is on Cal’s list of commits, but has announced he will attend Yale and play in the Ivy League.

Cal missed this week on four-star safety Tyler Foreman of Crespi-Encino. Originally a Wisconsin commit, he picked UCLA over Cal and Missouri.

Mid-year enrollees PK Matt Anderson, QB Jared Goff and WR Drake Whitehurst officially joined the Cal football program Tuesday when 2013 spring semester classes began, coach Sonny Dykes announced.

Anderson (Danville, CA/San Ramon Valley HS) and Goff (Kentfield, CA/Marin Catholic HS) are true freshmen, while Whitehurst (Portland, OR/City College of San Francisco/Lincoln HS) is a junior transfer. All three are expected to participate in 2013 spring football practices.

“All of our mid-year enrollees are great fits at Cal athletically and academically,” Dykes said in a statement. “We are excited about the addition of these three excellent student-athletes to our football program. We have addressed several of our needs with an outstanding group of mid-year enrollees that also included a pair of signees last December. We’re excited that they are all here now and ready to hit the ground running.”

The December signees are JC transfers DE Kyle Kragen (Danville, CA/Diablo Valley College/San Ramon Valley HS) and DE Sione Sina (Elk Grove, CA/College of San Mateo/Monterey Trail HS)
