The 1st ALL AMERICAN game of the year last night ... had Cal with twice as many commits as any school in the country...
Come the other ALL-AMERICAN games on Thursday and Saturday ... look for Cal to have quite possibly the best recruiting class in College Football History.
Not bad... for the 2nd ranked academic University in the World... http://www.arwu.org/

I've been telling you for the last 2 months... Cal's silents are coming out at the High School ALL STAR games this week and that makes up half the class.

Maybe you're from Iowa... and ain't bright enough to understand the thread ?
Give it another go, shall you ?
Even if by some quirk of fate Cal would end up with the top recruiting class of this year, one would have to wonder why all of those 5 star high schoolers would choose to play in 4 shit bowls during their college careers instead of heading to a good program in the PAC (like USC, Stanford, Oregon) and playing in BCS bowls. Admitting kids like that will undoubtedly bring down the academic standing of Cal.
Dominoes is a perfect analogy for Cal football. The standard domino set has 6 as the highest number, signifying the average amount of wins in a successful season of Cal football.
No one ever sweats losing a football prospect to Cal. If the kid is good enough and competitive enough to go to and succeed at a place like Bama, Oregon or USC, then he wouldn't choose to go to Cal. If his grades are good enough to get into Stanford, he wouldn't choose to go to Cal.
Going to Cal means dropping off the radar of college football. A player who chooses Cal is just a piece removed from the board. Whatever relevance he has won't be realized until he's in the NFL. While in college, he'll be a big fish in a small, obscure pond.
Players who want to win big and are good enough to make it happen know where to go, and it ain't Cal.

Ditto what Van said above. Players who commit to Cal aren't interested in competing for national championships, so the big-time schools aren't losing much.
I hear panic coming from bama' and $UC...
Kids have the Internet now a days and know what shit holes those 2 schools reside in...
Times be a changing... Cal has more players in the NFL than Alabama, Auburn, etc.
And yes, Cal is absolutely packed with Asians. 43%, in fact. This, in a state that is only 12% Asian. So, Stud Football Prospect of African American Persuasion, unless you want to try to cornhole a zaftig engineering major named Sue Choi at a frat party she won't be attending, don't go to Cal.
"Good to be at Cal these days" = getting mauled in every big you played during a 7-6 season, all of which were seen on the internet by those selfsame kids.

With a few tweaks, this argument also could apply to ND.

Iowa being 57 plays away from the national championship.
Iowa having 500 future first-round draft choices on their roster.
Cal winning the national championship despite six losses.
How very 2oodles/Nojesque of you.
With the funding cuts imposed over the past couple of years, and with more probably to come, the entire UC system is in danger of circling the toilet in the near future.

m2, this momentary diversion does not get you off the hook for your "Alabama legacy" comment. I don't think living in Alabama 'til one is 10 years old makes one an "Alabama legacy".
If living somewhere until one is 10 years old makes them a "legacy" then m2 would be a "little girl's clothes legacy."

Aaron Rodgers might have a bone to pick with you.
Dammit! I gave 200lio a coherent counter argument sans gigantic, screen flooding, 5 MB Strawberry Canyon photos!
Aaron Rodgers never won dick while at Cal, so pick away. Even the one year when Cal was good, 2004, and they pissed and moaned about not getting to play in the Rose Bowl—the year Mack Brown lobbied his way in—Cal went out and got shithammered by Taco Tech in the Holiday Bowl.
That's their high-water mark.
Like I said, and a guy like Aaron Rodgers is Exhibit A...

Here we go again....M-Fool claiming victory because of a recruiting class. Well dumb ass those kids need to be coached and Cal just doesn't cut the mustard in that aspect. They may recruit multiple star talent but once it gets up there it seems to go by the wayside with .500 records year in and year out along with mediocre bowl games where you get beat. Once again claiming scoreboard without actually winning games.
No Scottie, it's about how M-fuck is bragging a bout his average football team hauling in another mediocre recruiting class of top 100 3 star kids at their respective positions and how they're going to go 6-7 or thereabouts again next year, play in some shit bowl, outgain the other team and this fucktard is going to claim how Cal is the best and how they got jobbed out of playing in the national championship but will end the season #1 again.
Hey, Mfuck.....who did Ishmael Adams commit to? Was it Cal? Didn't you run your mouth about how that was going to happen? I'll wait for your response.......
Wow. Just watching the intro for tonight's game, and ironically they stated that the game features "ten" players who have already committed to "Texas".
