Cal DE Recruit Isadore Outing De-Commits

We had some solid news earlier this week as several JUCO players committed to the Golden Bears.  However, today we have not so great news as we lose a 2014 commit.  Per Grant Marek at Rivals, Isadore Outing has decommited.

Either I am incredibly stupid or Rivals blocks you from copying and pasting their text.  Or both!  You can read their short blurb in the link above.  This is, of course, not great news for a Cal team that can use every inch of help it can get.  However, you shouldn't jump to the conclusion that the decommitting occurred because Outing felt that Cal wasn't the best spot for him as he provides no comment or explanation.  There are a multitude of reasons why a player chooses to commit or decommit from a program. For example, there was a player earlier this year who stated that he decommitted because Cal wanted him to get his SAT score up.  Players may want to play closer to home and be closer to their family or their hot hot significant other.  Perhaps our terribad 1-11 record deterred Outing.  These are just some of the examples why a player might decommit and, unless they state their reason to deommit, their motives can be unclear.

The bottom line is good luck to Mr. Outing in future endeavors and GO BEARS!
