Noticed she was visiting at one of the football games. Amazing class and hopefully Durden has led us past the McKeever ugliness.

The assistant coach Joshua Huger posted that they were not done either so hopefully.

Her departure should had happened long ago! 10 years ago when we recruited the fab four & won the ncaa their freshmen year & I believe coach Teri was soon the Olympic coach, with all these accolades we should had been signing recruits like mad. Nada. We did get some single outstanding recruits here & there but nothing like 10 yrs ago. Think there were lots of negative recruiting going on with coach Teri. It's great to see us return to glory!

I didn't realize you were Nostradamus. You would have fired her after one of the greatest recruiting classes in history-really?

CAL WOMEN HIT AGAIN: #7 ANNIE JIA COMMITS TO GOLDEN BEARS FOR FALL 2025

Quote:

The Cal women have hit again on their historic class of 2025, with the 7th-ranked recruit in the country Annie Jia announcing her verbal commitment to the Golden Bears. This gives Cal commitments from the #1, #2, #3, #7, #13, and a handful of "Best of the Rest" ranked recruits.

No way I was saying to fire coach Teri. There were lots of positives during this time period of the these recruits, which included recruiting the fab4, winning the NCAAs in prior year, & even Teri becoming head & assist Olympic coach but the recruiting seem to hit a snag for those 10 after the fab 4. Yes we did get recruits & there were exceptional ie.Stadden, Ivey but IMO there were some reasons why many more higher ranked recruits were going else where. I did question this in previous threads about negative recruiting against coach Teri which I think was the reason why are recruiting stalled. I think the University should had (yes..shoulda, woulda, & coulda) investigated earlier and not let some investigative news reporter start the ball rolling 10 years later.

Couldn't find any announcement on Ryan Erisman's commitment. Saw Julien's but is Ryan for sure?
