SF Examiner: Cal football recruiting in full swing

By Rob Calonge

This week and next, Golden Bears football players will be taking their finals.  With over two months to go before camp starts, most of the focus will be on recruiting for 2010. Right now the coaching staff is on the recruiting trail, making their case to potential recruits and most likely doing some scouting while they're at it. If the Bears continue the pace that they've begun for the 2010 class, it wouldn't be surprising if another commitment was announced in the next few weeks.  As it stands right now, offensive line coach Steve Marshall, and defensive line coach Tosh Lupoi are tied with two commits apiece. The top recruit on Cal's list is, of course, a quarterback.  Five-star quarterback Jake Heaps has whittled his list from over 20 schools down to five, of which Cal is one of them.  Cal is competing with reported front-runner BYU, LSU, Tennessee, and fellow Pac-10 rival, Washington.

Marshall may take an early lead on Lupoi.  Four-star offensive tackle Erik Kohler is reported to be very high on Cal and UCLA.  Another four-star offensive tackle Chris Ward also is reported to have both Cal and UCLA as his top two teams as well.
