SF Examiner: Recruitment news

Devon Kennard announced that he's chosen USC over Cal and Texas. In other recruiting news, reported by the Examiner:

Cal getting props on their recruiting

Craig Haubert of ESPN.com's Scouts INC. had good things to say about Cal's recruiting class on Friday. He especially likes Cal commit, Steve Williams, the corner out of Dallas, Texas. Haubert says the following about Cal's class:

The Golden Bears are proving that recruiting is a marathon, not a sprint. Cal's recruiting got off to a slow start, but it is putting together a strong class that currently sits within the top 25.

Originally, we had wondered why the Bears were so slow to recruit their 2009 class. What started as a walk, has increased to a quick sprint to the finish for Jeff Tedford and company. Now we must wait to see how it all pans out. According to Haubert, Bears Backers have little to worry about.

Don't be surprised if...The Golden Bears, who currently rank 25th in the nation and third in conference, end up higher in the final recruiting class rankings and second in the conference behind USC.
