SF Examiner: Golden Bears recruit another top defensive player

By Rob Calonge

The California 2010 recruiting class is starting to get pretty exciting.  The annual Blue-Gold game hasn't been played yet and the Bears are already reeling in top talent for 2010.  Easter brought the verbal commitment from a highly coveted defensive tackle from Westlake Village, California.  Choosing the Bears over USC, UCLA, Arizona, Arizona State, and Texas, Cassius Marsh proclaimed, "Cal is the best place for me."

Cassius, according to Wikipedia, was one of the oldest family names of ancient Rome.  Unfortunately for Pete Carrol and the Trojans, Marsh is more interested in doing battles at Memorial Stadium in Berkeley.

Along with fellow 2010 recruit, Jay Guy, Marsh gives the Golden Bears a great one-two punch at the defensive tackle position - ensuring that the defense will likely become a little more versatile after these two step on campus.  Both players may find themselves playing together in a 4-3 or taking turns in a 3-4. Cal will definitely have the talent in the tackle box to pull it off.
