Other than Eason, what other kids that turned us down did we pursue when they became transfers. I’d be shocked.HuskyClaws said:Just left UCLA. I wonder if we are going to go after him at all.

DJ gets to play in the Duck's bowl game btw. Would be nice watching him play in the Rose Bowl.NEsnake12 said:

To be fair, you could ask that about every UCLA recruit.GrundleStiltzkin said:Has he really done anything there?

Mostly bern injured. He did have 41 tackles, 8 tfl, 4.5 sacks as a true freshman.GrundleStiltzkin said:Has he really done anything there?

Too bad he’ll never come here. -
Think he broke his wrist skateboarding or something and then had complications in the recovery...some truly Bruin way to flame out.

When he was at Miami, there were a lot of people pumped about him. Miami's D was pretty crowded though. Now, it might not be.UWhuskytskeet said:

I didn't know what else was going on there. He may have been homesick. The west coast kids tend to underestimate how different things are in the east, and while Miami tends to conjure up images of palm trees and beaches and shit, it is also a very, very eastern city. It is full of transplants from the NE and has been for eons, so Miami runs a little, or a lot, NY'ish, and I've noticed over the years that people from the west don't always like it.
DJ Williams was very homesick and almost transferred to Cal. He fought through it and was part of some pretty good teams and won a natty. That doesn't really happen at Cal. Sorry @BearsWiin . -

Is Skinny available? -
he will end up at oregon because they try at recruiting.

Mario gets after it in recruiting, but not sure they take one given their current depth

Because they want good players. It's not that hard.WeakarmCobra said:Mario gets after it in recruiting, but not sure they take one given their current depth

His program is built on flashes in recruiting, getting a former #1 and this years number #1 is the exact type of thing he’d doWeakarmCobra said:Mario gets after it in recruiting, but not sure they take one given their current depth

I'm hearing he's an Illinois lock.

this explains so much as to why he went to UCLA in the first place. As @Dennis_DeYoung says, the biggest problem about coaching at UCLA is that you have to accept that you are coaching players that are willing to go to UCLA.insinceredawg said: -
Did you guys know Joe Williams retired once!?insinceredawg said: -
They did. You just go into a database. But he'd still have to sit out a year unless it was due to hardship.HillsboroDuck said:

So for WAC, the answer is no, he could transfer where he wanted but he'd still have to redshirt. -

DJ was deterred from going to Cal by his older half-brother Atari Callen. When he was considering staying home and playing for Cal, Callen, who was on the team at Cal, told him to go where he could play for championships. I don't for a minute believe that he considered transferring to Cal.creepycoug said:

Nah, it’s a year of residence. So players who transferred for the start of winter quarter/semester would be eligible at the conclusion of their fall quarter/semester. Eason didn’t enroll until spring quarter.TommySQC said:

Believe it or not. He was very homesick when he got to Miami, it was well publicized, and at one point actually left, and that was when the Cal talk started. I don't think it was an act.BearsWiin said:

There was no fucking way he would consider leaving Miami to play for fucking Tom Holmoe and 3-8 Cal. The Cal talk, if there was any, wasn't from him but from people speculating because he was a DLS kid and Cal is right there and his brother Atari played for Cal. But, as I said, his brother told him to go somewhere else if he wanted to win. Repeat: His own fucking Cal player brother told him not to come to Cal. This was all well documented in Cal circles at the time, including the original Cyberbears. And we were all pretty pissed at Atari for telling DJ that, even if we understood that he was right.creepycoug said:

El O fucking El. A 5-star bust two years after he signed. Don't forget he was the #1 Buck recruit on our board and Joe Tryon was a late offer 3-star we stole from WSU after whiffing on Phillips and three other guys. Thanks for making my point Jaelan. Yes, of coarse we all want to get the majority of our top targets at every position and that's exactly what we're getting right now. But if we happen to whiff on some guys and have to offer some 3-star kid late in the process maybe you should wait to see how it turns out before you start bitching. This is a new era of UW recruiting. A late offer, 3-star guy might turn out to be a better pick up than the 4 and 5-star guys offered before him.
