It is reported that Ruta visited with Connor today at Cal.
Two days ago, I felt he would stay at Cal because of the intense sales effort from the new staff and the family had chosen Cal over other offers because of academics. But it seems things have moved over the last couple of days. Today I feel good about Connor becoming a Hog. I think this is going to happen.
Vanover led Cal with 35 blocked shots in 28 games. Chaney blocked 46 shots for us, and Dan 65.
Berkeley is a very good academic school, but like most Power 5 schools with high academic standards, they lower those standards a bit if you’re 7-3 or have a 95 mph fastball. Which was the whole point of the ongoing college admission scandal; rich parents paid to have the guy get their kids admitted to Yale or UCLA or whatever on the pretext that they were athletes when they were not athletes at all. If not for pretending to be athletes, those kids were not getting into those schools.
