What about Shaq?
Apparently, Cal is still in the running for Shaq Thompson after he “twittered” that USC is out, but ND is now in:

Shaq’s in the USAAA Game which is on Saturday.
And Cal’s more than just in the running. Not to worry.

San Diego State and Boise State are in the Big East.
Can’t explain that.

Not really sure how much you can take from an exhibition game with high school seniors who have never played together before.

Hopefully will be committing within the hour...

This East QB has thrown into
double coverage twice when he had Bryce Treggs open.

White Team starting to jack up the Blues running behind Tagaloa and Cochran.

Mickens looks good
Also looks like quite the showboat
*Insert something witty here*. Oh, and Stanfurd Sucks.
So was DeSean. I’d want DeSean again.
Mickens has a lot of good programs to choose from for sure.
by Avinash Kunnath on Jan 3, 2012 4:08 PM PST up reply actions
If/when Treggs scores today, he’ll showboat a bit too
no bear, no care
by EchoOfSilence on Jan 3, 2012 4:08 PM PST up reply actions
Don't think he's going to do a dance every time he touches the ball
*Insert something witty here*. Oh, and Stanfurd Sucks.
so we need a td from treggs then.
by j.lee on Jan 3, 2012 4:11 PM PST via Android app up reply actions
Blue QB misses Treggs because he threw the ball without touch.

They call this DT who is going
to Alabama unblockable, then show the replay of Cochran blocking him out of the play.
by C98 on Jan 3, 2012 4:17 PM PST via mobile reply actions
yeah, don’t really see why Cochran is considered a 3-star.

They always rate centers lower because they’re uncertain how well they’ll handle all the various responsibilities a center has at the collegiate level.
by Avinash Kunnath on Jan 3, 2012 4:19 PM PST up reply actions
He’s ranked as the third best center overall.
by Avinash Kunnath on Jan 3, 2012 4:20 PM PST up reply actions
Looks like he could do both RB/WR things, like Vereen and Best did.
by Avinash Kunnath on Jan 3, 2012 4:28 PM PST up reply actions
God damn the East QBs aren't good.

furk
leave work in 12 minutes. don’t want to be in the car when Cochran announces.
I am THE DOOMBRINGER. We Are Cal.
Really impressive offer list. Could be a solid OLB/DE option if he develops.

Good news everyone!

“Matt wants all the Cal commits here with him” – Bryce Treggs. Cochran about to announce for the Golden Bears… pic.twitter.com/Uglrk3Qw
So, our OL recruits would be...
Tagaloa
The El Grove white guy
The Houston black guy that has the same last name as CT’s former center
and now Cochran.
anyone else?
err, sorry, i mean..
the other white guy from san clemente
no bear, no care

Cochran for Cal - it's official (verbal)
Oh, boy, I’m excited.
And, Tagaloa made Aaron Cochran look small. Wow.
Who does Hoff remind us of then?

YES! BRING ON DA BEEF!
Very wise decision Cochran!
6 1st round draft picks, 2 Super Bowl Champions and counting
by Another Successful Tedford QB on Jan 3, 2012 5:16 PM PST reply actions
yeah
Cochran is HUGE compared to those guys. I think Cochran just might be able to block the LB’s Hardy and Barton. Just maybe.
DJ Foster just got props
Dude said DJ was the one guy that that impressed him the most as a person at the game all week. Wow. I LOVE that! Guys that are good characters make GREAT players. Dude said he has a passion for his education. Hmmmm….
Great news on Cochran
How many more O-Lineman are we expected to target? By my count we currently have 4 commits, but at the beginning of the cycle I thought Cal was going to target 6-7 total.
I know we are out of it with Banner, Garnett, Peat, and probably out of it for Murphy, is anyone else on the OL radar?
Armstead would play on D libe

didnt know that but...
dont see him being succesfull as a Defensive player but hey ok…
He could be dominant on D line. He’s really big and fast for his size.

by NYCGOBEARS on Jan 3, 2012 5:31 PM PST via iPhone app up reply actions
As a DT, he could be scary. Ever see him play basketball? Tosh will coach him up. He’s gonna be a scary beast. I’d love to see him in a Cal uni terrifying $C, Furd and all the other pac12 linemen.

I reckon you haven’t seen him play defense.

O’Connor is the other prominent target out there.
by Avinash Kunnath on Jan 3, 2012 5:29 PM PST up reply actions
Treggs is not having a good day out there.
no bear, no care
by EchoOfSilence on Jan 3, 2012 5:44 PM PST up reply actions
mostly because he isn’t getting good chances
no bear, no care
by EchoOfSilence on Jan 3, 2012 5:44 PM PST up reply actions
we know anything good regarding the other 3 targets?
by j.lee on Jan 3, 2012 5:44 PM PST via Android app reply actions
i missed it, what happened?!?
no bear, no care
by EchoOfSilence on Jan 3, 2012 5:47 PM PST up reply actions
It’s funny watching Freddie Tagaloa on a double-team. He just casually shoves the defender and he stumbles back two-three yards.
Thank god for these O line recruits! I’m pumped to get these big guys in the trenches.
