Yup, that's what 'Cali' said.

FWIW, Castles gained 20 pounds to compete for Tennessee in the SEC. So why didn't he gain 20 pounds here, were we emphasizing his speed?

Another O Line commit!

Edit: it looks like we offered him early, others followed.

UCI has six players 6'9" or above.

Cal Bears lose their bowl game 34-14, shut out the last 3 quarters. Coach Plough now focuses solely on the Aggies and recruiting.

The new religion of heavy weight lifting, off season weight lifting, personal trainers, camps, parents with disposable income, a big influx of Pacific Islanders, and steroids / steroid lite products.

He's a grown young man... there are also cultural issues at play. Not an expert, but I figure he also has to be quicker at 340. Could he be more effective at 330 or 320?

Buchanan's brother, a DB, also signed a Cal.

Update. Police in Los Angeles have released security video of the night Aggie Chris Martin was shot in the head. Martin's recovery is called miraculous, but at this time he can't speak and looks to be moving very slowly. His Mother is a rock. Two different news clips.

BTW, he apparently was at the Pink Taco that fateful night ... and no, it's not a strip club. Trendy place.

I thought Pat McCann might he a candidate for OC, but turns out he's the OC now at Fresno State (via EWU). He seemed to have a good rapport w WRs, and he had great timing in coaching Barriere.
