With the help of Peter Bauman of
California Strength, we talk in-depth about the direction of
California football recruiting, the recent one-day showcase camp, the upcoming three-day full-contact camp and how the Bears will proceed on the recruiting trail in the post-Lupoi era.
We break down some of the camp's top performers, including
Beau Hershberger, four-star QB commit
Jared Goff, jumbo athletes
Elijah Qualls and
Ray Hudson, 2014 QB
Ricardo Johnson III, Stockton (Calif.) St. Mary's athletes
Na'im McGee and
Kaodi Dike and others. We also break down the chances of commitments from some of those athletes in the coming weeks.
From there, we move on to the big event in Cal sports this week: the Major League Draft.
Seven Bears were selected by big league teams, tying a school record, with highly-decorated Tony Renda leading the way with the 80th overall pick.
Who's coming back? Who's leaving? What does the 2013 Cal baseball team look like? We answer all those questions and more in the only place for detailed Bears baseball content and analysis on the web.
After some stick-and-ball talk, we turn our gaze to the hardwood and some of the hard work being done on the recruiting trail by
Mike Montgomery and his crew. Will the conference's first ever single-season winner of both the Player of the Year and Defensive Player of the Year awards --
Jorge Gutierrez -- make it onto an NBA roster after being invited to the NBA Combine? Who can the Bears land in the 2013 cycle that will turn the program into an even stronger perennial contender?
Which top-flight prospects does Cal have a real shot at, and more importantly, will they land in Berkeley? You'll find all that and more at the tail end of the acclaimed Bear Republic Podcast.
