Is it too much too ask for one more commit before the season starts? I was up in Seattle this weekend, and I got some good vibes that Kasen Williams wants to exit Puget Sound for the city by the bay…

Am I right in assuming that the order in which you have the schools listed for the recruits indicates their preference? For example, in some cases you have Cal listed first, in others further down. Does that mean the recruit favors Cal, or is it just a by product of a random list?

Careful, man. There's a beverage here!

by SoCal Oski on Aug 9, 2010 2:37 PM PDT reply actions  

The order of schools listed DOES NOT indicate a recruit’s preference. I am keeping my fingers crossed that George Atkinson will still somehow come to Cal.

The good news is, Tedford lives 15 minutes from the Atkinson’s high school. There is plenty of time until LOI day to recruit these young gentlemen.

Richard Rodgers...

The young Richard Rodgers on this list is the son of Richard Rodgers of The Play fame. The elder is also my fraternity brother and a really great guy. I hope he has an influence on his son because Rich is a Bear, through and through.

There will be more headed our way soon.

Solarise asked me if I had any good or bad news a few weeks back and the good news is starting to heat up on the recruiting trail!

I really needed this after hearing about Summers-Gavin and Samuels

The Woodlands RB Daniel Lasco has committed to Cal. 6-1, 190. Excellent straight-line speed. One-cut and explode up the field type of back.

Hope this guy is right!

Recruiting has been slow but this is GREAT news! WELCOME to Cal Daniel!

Do we still have room for Mr. Bigelow or Green? Never have too many backs!

by calas on Aug 9, 2010 8:43 PM PDT reply actions  

Yes, there is room. I think Green will land up at Nebraska due to the family ties.

by Cali49a on Aug 9, 2010 8:47 PM PDT up reply actions  

There will always be room for these guys!

Especially since I thought Bigelow was the main RB target this campaign anyways…

Just watch Bigelow's tape after watching Lasco

Both are impressive but Biglow takes it to another level! The more the merrier!

by OskiMonsta on Aug 10, 2010 7:24 AM PDT reply actions  

I think we got a shot w/ both Hobbi and Atkinson, especially if Josh gets a scholarship offer. The possibility of playing in front of family and friends might just be enough to entice both of the Atkinson Twins to come to Cal. Hobbi is going to be really tough. Seems like he had great visits to UCLA and Michigan.

by solarise on Aug 10, 2010 10:47 AM PDT up reply actions  

Would love to get all those guys. For the Atkinsons, it sounds like Oregon and Bama are out front.

But as we learned last year, it’s way too early to project anything and there are bound to be some surprises along the way. You would have sounded crazy predicting last August that Keenan Allen and Chris Martin (ahem, well, he did sign an LOI…) would come to Cal.

The Atkinsons look to be warming up to the idea of not playing together.
