Well Biggins alludes to something like this via twitter
Talked to father of DL Ellis McCarthy who said Ellis will ‘grab a hat’ Saturday but will still do visits and it’s far from over
I’m still hoping it’s a Cal hat!

Hey Twist
Did you figure out your video editing issue from yesterday?
Cal Football: I loved them once and they broke my heart. Let that be a lesson to you. Never love anything.
Yes and no. I figured out how to rotate the video, but then it was in a specific format that the video editing software I was using wouldn’t recognize (I think I have limited software, but its free and it came with the camera, so there is that). So, my time was wasted. I would need a quality free product that can turn .wmv into .mpeg2

It appears not to grow in the west, however they are drought tolerant and cold unfriendly, so one would think they would like the California climate. Available by mail order here if you want to give it a try!
I think he means video of Payton playing. I, too, don’t really want to watch a bunch of high schoolers play unless it means Cal is involved in some way.
We had that highlight vid of Kline the other day, which is good. Maybe there will be highlight vids of Payton and/or Thompson, too.

For those bummed about Seymour to SC
Kevon Seymour of Pasadena (Calif.) Muir was annoyed he had No. 41 instead of his preferred No. 1. And Seymour willingly admits he’ll look at the rosters of potential colleges to see if No. 1 is available. If it’s not, the school’s chances of landing him diminish.

Who would win?

I’m starting to doubt it just because we got the #2 DT prospect in McCarthy, so I assume the #1 would want to come as well.
Although with all the “dream team” crap going on in the pros, I wouldn’t be surprised if these kids wanted to emulate that in choosing their college.

putting us well ahead of our nearest conference rival, Oregon (#15 on both services).

It’s jarring to see three Pac-12 teams ahead of USC. WOO SANCTIONS
The #1 greatest threat to America: BEARS
To be fair to USC, they are at the top of the conference in average recruit rating.
So this isn’t a lost class, just one with very little margin for error in talent evaluation/bad luck.
