All other Pac-12 teams are outside of top 25. I'm happy as long as we are ahead of Furd, and it's a clean sweep.
2011 Gains Measured by # of Ranked Verbal Commits [4][5][6]
ESPN 150 | 5 | 2 | 7 | 5 | 3 |
Rivals 250 | 9 | 6 | 10 | 8 | 6 |
Scout 300 | 9 | 6 | 12 | 10 | 5 |
It's not even a contest. Your Golden Bears should sign more highly regarded athletes than Furd.
Even though Cal landed 9 Scout 300's verbal commitments, Tedford & Co ranks 15th, 4 places behind Washington, a program w/ 5 Scout 300 recruits' verbal commitments.
Rivals placed Cal at 13th place even though Tedford & Co managed to secure 9 Rivals 250's verbal commitments compared to USC's 10 and Oregon's 8.
