I've been wondering about the player ratings for this class. It seems like the California players are undervalued, maybe because of the extreme disruptions from last season/junior years? Zach Rowell is a great example. He's rated as the 95th-best DL in the nation by 247sports (not rated in the top 50 strongside DEs by Rivals), but, as SamuelMcF shared, has offers from Stanford, USC, UCLA, Oregon, Miami and Michigan, among others. Are there 94 DLs with a better offer sheet? I seriously doubt it.
In any case, here's hoping for the 40-year decision from Zach.

If there's one thing people have learned in Berkeley, it's that you can't put "Cal football" and "Rose Bowl" in the same sentence. The words just don't fit. You'd be better off linking "covered wagons" with "Mars travel." (Bruce Jenkins, Cal '70, SF Chronicle, Nov. 11, 2017)
